Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): 1. Evolution of the UAS7 score between the beginning (J0) and the end (J28) of the treatment period. The analysis will be conducted per protocol and intention to treat and non-inferiority will be retained if both analyzes are convergent (Le Henanff, A. et al., JAMA 2006; 295: 1147-1151). Then, a hierarchical analysis on the intention-to-treat population will be carried out with a superiority test only if non-inferiority is retained in per protocol analysis. 2. Collection of adverse effects 3. Evolution of the UAS7 score between the beginning (D0) and the end (D28) of the treatment period 1.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1.Evolution of the AAS score between the beginning (J0) and the end (J28) of the treatment period. 2. Combined improvement criterion of at least 50% of the UAS7 clinical score and the AAS score. These are 2 activity scores validated by the latest EAACI consensus: - UAS7 score: score assessing pruritus and number of urticaria plaques - AAS score: score evaluating the activity of seizures 3. Differences in the clinical profiles of the responders to each of the therapies. 4. Area under the ROC curve and D-dimer calibration for the prediction of therapeutic response to tranexamic acid. 5. Improvement of the quality of life, evaluated by the 2 scores validated during the last international consensus: - CU-Q2oL score: assessing the impact of urticaria attacks - AE-QoL score: assessing the impact of episodes of angioedema associated with chronic urticaria 1.Evolution of the AAS score between the beginning (J0) and the end (J28) of the treatment period. 2.
