Omalizumab

The determined dose (at least 0.016 mg/kg/IgE (IU/mL) was administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks. Dose and dosing interval were determined based on patient body weight and pre-treatment serum IgE level; a dosing table was used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Omalizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Omalizumab was supplied as a lyophilized, sterile powder in a single-use, 5 mL vial. The vial was designed to deliver 150 mg (1.2 mL) of omalizumab for subcutaneous (s.c.) administration after reconstitution with 1.4 mL sterile water for injection. Doses of more than 150 mg were divided among multiple injection sites to limit injections to not more than 150 mg per site.

Placebo

Placebo was administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks depending on the dosing schedule in the protocol.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo was supplied as a lyophilized, sterile powder in a single-use, 5 mL vial. The vial was designed to deliver 150 mg (1.2 mL) of placebo for subcutaneous (s.c.) administration after reconstitution with 1.4 mL sterile water for injection. Doses of more than 150 mg were divided among multiple injection sites to limit injections to not more than 150 mg per site.
