Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Omalizumab for Idiopathic Anaphylaxis (NCT NCT00890162)

NCT ID: NCT00890162

Last Updated: 2019-07-01

Results Overview

To determine if treatment with omalizumab over 6 months will produce a reduction in the number and timing of anaphylactic events in subjects with a history of frequent idiopathic anaphylaxis. Ordinal outcome of participants based on number of events in 6 months after baseline and timing of first event. Events were calculated based on detailed event logs maintained by the patients and collected every 2-4 weeks based on injection schedule. Mean percent change in number of events experienced while on study agent for each subject and results presented as a group.
