Study for a new medication in Chronic Urticaria.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2, 12-week treatment study followed by a 12 week open label phase and a 12-week follow-up period to assess the efficacy and safety of avdoralimab (IPH5401) C5aR blocking antibody in adult patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria resistant to H1-antihistamine treatment. - CRUSE

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess the explorative efficacy pf avdoralimab (450 mg weekly) as compared to placebo regarding the change in urticaria activity score 7 (UAS7) from baseline to week 12 in adult patients diagnosed with CSU who remain symptomatic despite H1-AH at approved doses. ;Secondary Objective: Efficacy QoL Proportion of clinical (MID) responders Time to first clinical (MID) response Proportion of complete responders Time to first complete response Proportion of non-response (symptom reocurrence after study-drug dis-continuation) Safety of subjects treated with avdoralimab ;Primary end point(s): UAS7;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Change from baseline (week 1, V1) to the end of week 12
