Subject with CSU who discontinued, is intolerant to, or was an inadequate responder to anti-IgE therapies despite being treated with omalizumab 300 mg Q4W for 6 months or higher doses of omalizumab > 2 months (or per local country treatment standards) or another anti-IgE therapy.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Disease Related: • Urticaria is solely due to inducible urticaria • Active dermatologic diseases (or conditions) other than chronic urticaria, with urticaria wheals or angioedema symptoms such as urticarial vasculitis, erythema multiforme, cutaneous mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa) and hereditary or acquired angioedema (eg, due to C1 inhibitor deficiency) • Any other active skin disease associated with chronic itching that might influence,in the investigator’s opinion, the study evaluations and results (eg, atopic dermatitis, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus, etc.) • History of a clinically significant infection within 28 days prior to day 1 that, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, might compromise the safety of the subject in the study, interfere with evaluation of the investigational product, or reduce the subject’s ability to participate in the study. Clinically significant infections are defined as either of the following: 1)a systemic infection; or 2) a serious skin infection requiring parenteral antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal medication • Diagnosis of a helminth parasitic infection within 6 months prior to screening visit 1 that had not been treated with or had failed to respond to standard of care therapy • Documented medical history of chronic alcohol or drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening visit 1 • Evidence of active liver disease at screening, including jaundice or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or alkaline phosphatase greater than twice the upper limit of normal (ULN) • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, have evidence of active tuberculosis (TB), either treated or untreated, or a positive purified protein derivative (PPD) or QuantiFERON-tuberculosis Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) test for TB during screening. Subjects with an indeterminate QFT-Plus may be enrolled if they have ALL of the following: o No symptoms of TB: productive, prolonged cough (> 3 weeks); coughing up blood; fever; night sweats; unexplained appetite loss; unintentional weight loss o No evidence of active TB on chest radiograph within 3 months prior to the first dose of investigational product. Note: Chest radiograph is not part of screening procedure and will be the responsibility of the Investigator as this is outside the scope of this protocol • History of malignancy, except for basal cell carcinoma or in situ carcinoma of the cervix treated with apparent success with curative therapy?12 months prior to screening or other malignancies treated with apparent success with curative therapy ? 5 years prior to screening visit 1 • Subject is unable to complete an electronic patient diary or complete questionnaires, or does not meet the required level of compliance (? 80%) with the eDiary during the second phase of the screening period/ H1-antihistamine stabilization period o Completion of UAS (daily) for 14 days (?80% compliance) prior to randomization o Completion of AAS (daily) for 14 days (? 80% compliance) prior to randomization Other Medical Conditions • Medical examination or laboratory findings that suggest the possibility of decompensation of co-existing conditions for the duration of the study. Any items that are cause for uncertainty must be reviewed and approved by the Medical Monitor • History or evidence of severe depression, schizophrenia, previous suicide attempts, or suicidal ideation Prior/Concomitant Thera
