Trial Outcomes & Findings for Urticaria Facticia Treatment With Omalizumab (UFO) (NCT NCT02169115)

NCT ID: NCT02169115

Last Updated: 2020-11-03

Results Overview

Patients receive provocation test by FricTest (standardized stroking of the skin). FricTest ratings are from 0 (no wheal development to the longest pin) to 4 (wheal development to all four pins). The development of wheals within 30 minutes after provocation is monitored.

Change in Provocation Thresholds From Baseline to Day 70 in Urticaria Factitia Patients After Treatment With Omalizumab Compared to Placebo
-1.8 wheal development up to four pins
Standard Deviation 1.7
-2.0 wheal development up to four pins
Standard Deviation 1.8
-0.6 wheal development up to four pins
Standard Deviation 1.4

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 70 days

Change in quality of life scores assessed by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and UF specific life quality questions from baseline to day 70 after treatment with omalizumab compared to placebo. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. The DLQI can also be expressed as a percantage of the maximum possible score of 30.

Change in number of symptom free days as assessed by a patient diary from baseline to day 70 after treatment with omalizumab compared to placebo

Outcome measures

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 70 days

Change in physician global assessment of disease severity assessed by visual analogue scale by a physician from baseline to day 70 after treatment with omalizumab compared to placebo. VAS are measuring instruments designed to document the characteristics of disease-related symptom severity in individual patients. The scale ranges from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10. The higher the score, the worse the outcome.
