Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dose-finding Study of QGE031 as add-on Therapy to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety in Patients With CSU (NCT NCT02477332)

NCT ID: NCT02477332

Last Updated: 2021-01-05

Results Overview

The primary objective was to establish the dose-response relationship of ligelizumab (24, 72 and 240 mg every 4 weeks) with respect to achievement of complete hives response (HSS7=0) at Week 12 and select an appropriate dose (or range of doses) which is likely to be superior to omalizumab at the highest approved dose (300 mg every 4 weeks). Hives Severity Score (HSS) is on a scale of 0 to 3. A weekly score (HSS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the preceding 7 days, with a possible range of 0 - 21. Hives Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1. \- Mild (1-6 hives/12 hours) 2. \- Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3. \- Severe (\>12 hives/12 hours) To confirm an overall dose-response signal based on MCP-Mod, and to estimate the minimal ligelizumab dose that shows a relevant superior effect over omalizumab, based on the selected dose response model, the lowest ligelizumab dose that provides a response rate 15% higher than the response of omalizumab 300 mg.

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients, removing misrandomized patients provided that study drug was not administered. As per protocol and SAP, for the efficacy endpoints at Week 12 or Week 20, only the QGE031 24, 72 \& 240 mg, omalizumab 300 mg and placebo arms were analyzed for efficacy comparison between treatment groups.

Hives Severity Score (HSS) is on a scale of 0 to 3. A weekly score (HSS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. The possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Complete hives response defined as HSS7 = 0. Hives Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1. \- Mild (1-6 hives/12 hours) 2. \- Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3. \- Severe (\>12 hives/12 hours)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients, removing misrandomized patients provided that study drug was not administered. As per protocol and SAP, for the efficacy endpoints at Week 12 or Week 20, only the QGE031 24, 72 \& 240 mg, omalizumab 300 mg and placebo arms were analyzed for efficacy comparison between treatment groups.

Itch Severity Score (ISS) is on a scale of 0 to 3. A weekly score (ISS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. The possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Complete itch response defined as ISS7 = 0. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1. \- Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2. \- Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3. \- Severe (difficult to tolerate)
