Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to establish efficacy and safety of ligelizumab in adolescent and adult subjects with CSU who remained symptomatic despite standard of care treatment by demonstrating better efficacy over omalizumab and over placebo. The study population consisted of 1,079 male and female subjects aged ≥ 12 years who were diagnosed with CSU and who remained symptomatic despite the use of H1-antihistamines. This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. There was a screening period of up to 28 days, a 52 week double-blind treatment period, and a 12 week post-treatment follow-up period.

Detailed description

This was a Phase III multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active and placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. The study consisted of 3 distinct periods: * Screening period (Day -28 to Day 1): Duration of up to 4 weeks in which subjects who have given informed consent were assessed for eligibility. * Double-blind treatment period (52 weeks): The subjects were seen in the clinic every 4 weeks. * Post-treatment follow-up period (12 weeks): This period consists of 3 visits (every 4 weeks) with the final visit occurring 16 weeks after the last dose at Week 48.

Masking description

Patients, investigator staff and personnel performing the study assessments remained blinded to the identity of the treatment from the time of randomization until final database lock. The study drug was prepared by an independent unblinded pharmacist (or authorized delegate) and administered by an independent unblinded study drug administrator. Neither the unblinded pharmacist nor the unblinded study drug administrator was involved in any assessments.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study. The subject's, parent's or legal guardian's signed written informed consent and child's assent, if appropriate, must be obtained before any assessment is performed. Of note, if the subject reaches age of consent (age as per local law) during the study, they will also need to sign the corresponding study Informed Consent Form (ICF) at the next study visit. * Male and female subjects ≥ 12 years of age at the time of screening. * CSU diagnosis for ≥ 6 months. * Diagnosis of CSU refractory to H1-AH at approved doses at the time of randomization, as defined by all of the following: * The presence of itch and hives for ≥ 6 consecutive weeks at any time prior to Visit 1 (Day - 28 to Day -14) despite current use of non-sedating H1-antihistamine * UAS7 score (range 0-42) ≥ 16 and HSS7 (range 0-21) ≥ 8 during the 7 days prior to randomization (Visit 110, Day 1) * Subjects must be on H1-antihistamine at only locally label approved doses for treatment of CSU starting at Visit 1 (Day -28 to Day -14) * Willing and able to complete a daily symptom eDiary for the duration of the study and adhere to the study visit schedules. Key

Exclusion criteria

* History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or their excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes (i.e. to murine, chimeric or human antibodies). * Subjects having a clearly defined cause of their chronic urticaria, other than CSU. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: symptomatic dermographism (urticaria factitia), cold-, heat-, solar-, pressure-, delayed pressure-, aquagenic-, cholinergic- or contact-urticaria. * Diseases, other than chronic urticaria, with urticarial or angioedema symptoms such as urticarial vasculitis, erythema multiforme, cutaneous mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa) and hereditary or acquired angioedema (eg, due to C1 inhibitor deficiency). * Subjects with evidence of helminthic parasitic infection as evidenced by stools being positive for a pathogenic organism according to local guidelines. All subjects will be screened at Visit 1. If stool testing is positive for pathogenic organism, the subject will not be randomized and will not be allowed to rescreen. * Any other skin disease associated with chronic itching that might influence in the investigators opinion the study evaluations and results (e.g. atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus, etc.). * Prior exposure to ligelizumab or omalizumab. * H1-AH used as background medication at greater than locally label-approved doses after visit 1

Participant flow

Recruitment details

1,078 participants enrolled in 27 countries at 185 sites.

Pre-assignment details

There were 1,023 adult subjects and 55 adolescent subjects. Out of these 3 adults were mis-randomized and hence did not enter treatment period. 901 adults and 52 adolescent subjects entered the post treatment follow-up period. The number entering post-treatment follow up is higher than the number completing treatment since this also included subjects who entered the follow up period after early treatment discontinuation.

Mean Change From Baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation) of Adult Subjects

The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. Possible range of weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is UAS7 = 0. Hives Severity Score (HSS) scale is 0 to 3. A weekly score (HSS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. Possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Hives Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (1-6 hives/12 hours) 2 - Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3 - Severe (\>12 hives/12 hours). Itch Severity Score (ISS) scale is 0 to 3. Score (ISS7) is derived by adding up average daily scores of 7 days preceding visit. Possible range of weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate). Negative change from baseline indicates improvement

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized Adult subjects who received at least one dose of study drug. Subjects were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were assigned at randomization. FAS was used for all efficacy variables, unless otherwise stated.

Number and Percentage of Participants With DLQI Score of 0 - 1 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation - Adults, Observed Data for Adolescents)

Assessed as percentage of subjects achieving DLQI = 0-1, which means No impact on subjects quality of life at Week 12 The Dermatology life Quality Index (DLQI) score range is 0 to 30, with 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life). Data is presented as percentage of patients with a DLQI=0 score. No statistical analysis was planned for adolescent group.

Number and Percentage of Subjects With UAS7=0 Response at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation - Adults, Observed Data for Adolescents)

The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is the sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is the sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. The possible range of the weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is defined as UAS7 = 0. Data is presented as percentage of patients with a UAS7=0 score. No Statistical analysis was planned for adolescent group.
