Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Xolair (Omalizumab) in Patients With Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) Who Remain Symptomatic With Antihistamine Treatment (H1) (NCT NCT00866788)

NCT ID: NCT00866788

Last Updated: 2017-07-11

Results Overview

The UAS is a composite diary-recorded score, which is the sum of the numeric severity intensity ratings (0 = none to 3 = intense) for 1) the number of wheals (hives) and 2) the intensity of the pruritus (itch). The UAS7 is the sum of the daily average UAS (morning and evening values) for 7 days. The maximum UAS7 score is 42.

The extent to which hives or itch interfered with participants' sleep was recorded once daily in the patient diary using a scale from 0 (no interference) to 3 (substantial interference, waking often). The weekly score of sleep interference was the sum of the daily scores over the previous 7 days, and ranged from 0 to 21.

The severity (i.e. intensity) of each Adverse Event (AE) was graded according to the following scale: Mild: Symptoms causing no or minimal interference with usual social and functional activities. Moderate: Symptoms causing greater than minimal interference with usual social and functional activities. Severe: Symptoms causing inability to perform usual social and functional activities. Additional AE data is provided in the AE section below. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous. Severity refers to the intensity of an AE. A "Serious" AE is defined below.
