| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To characterize the dose-response relationship of LOU064 administered once or twice daily in subjects with CSU with respect to change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 4;Secondary Objective: To evaluate: - the efficacy of LOU064 compared to placebo with respect to change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 - the efficacy of LOU064 compared to placebo with respect to change from baseline in UAS7 over time - the efficacy of LOU064 compared to placebo with respect to achievement of complete clinical response (UAS7= 0) over time - the efficacy of LOU064 compared to placebo with respect to achievement of disease control (UAS7= 6) over time - the effect of LOU064 on angioedema (AAS7) with respect to the number of weeks with an AAS7= 0 response from baseline through Week 12 - the effect of LOU064 on disease-related quality of life with respect to achievement of a DLQI score of 0 or 1 at Week 4 and Week 12 - the effect of LOU064 on CSU related quality of life with respect to change from baseline in DLQI at Week 4 and Week 12 - the pharmacokinetics of LOU064 resulting from oral dosing at Week 4 and Week 12 - safety and tolerability of LOU064 in subjects with CSU;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in weekly Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 4 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 - Change from baseline in UAS7 over time - Complete absence of hives and itch, assessed as UAS7= 0 response over time - Disease control (UAS7= 6) over time - Cumulative number of weeks with an AAS7= 0 response between baseline and Week 12 - DLQI score of 0 or 1 at Week 4 and 12 - Change from baseline in DLQI score at Week 4 and 12 - Concentrations of LOU064 in blood and calculation of respective PK parameters at Week 4 and Week 12 - Safety endpoints will include but not be limited to: - Occurrence of treatment emergent adverse events during the study - Occurrence of treatment emergent serious adverse events during the study;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 4 and week 12 | — |
