PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 weeks

Population: The population analyzed included one subject who received Omalizumab treatment on Day 1, Week 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14 and completed assessments through week 24. A second subject enrolled in the study and received one treatment with Omalizumab and was terminated from the study per investigator at Week 4.

The study subject underwent physical examination and was assessed for cessation of new blister formation via physical examination and photography.

Omalizumab Treatment Arm
n=1 Participants
Omalizumab 150-375 milligrams (mg) will be administered subcutaneously at Day 1, Week 2,4,6,8,10,12, and 14.
Prednisone Standard Therapy Treatment Arm
The control arm of the study will receive standard prednisone therapy to a maximum dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 weeks

Population: The population analyzed included one subject who received Omalizumab treatment on Day 1, Week 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14 and completed assessments through week 24. A second subject enrolled in the study and received one treatment with Omalizumab and was terminated from the study per investigator at Week 4.

Measurement of total body surface area affected by bullous pemphigoid active skin disease(active erosions, blisters, and/or lesions) was measured at Day 0 (prior to treatment with Omalizumab) and at 24 weeks (24 weeks is end of study).

Percent Decrease in the Total Body Surface Area Affected By Active Bullous Pemphigoid Skin Disease From Day 0 to Week 24.
22.5 percentage of active skin disease

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4, Week 8 and Week 24

Population: Neither subject required treatment with Prednisone. Since we did not enroll any subject in the Prednisone Standard Therapy Treatment Arm we do not have any measurements for this outcome

The total dose of prednisone required to control the bullous pemphigoid at week 4, 8 and 24 weeks was to be calculated in both arms of this study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 24 weeks

Population: The population analyzed included one subject who received Omalizumab treatment on Day 1, Week 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14 and completed assessments through week 24. A second subject enrolled in the study and received one treatment with Omalizumab and was terminated from the study per investigator at Week 4.

Anti-BP180 IgG levels were completed using an Elisa assay. Anti-BP180 IgG levels were obtained prior to baseline and at week 16
