Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled phase 2b dose-finding study to assess the efficacy and safety of LOU064 in adults chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a global Phase 2b multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study investigating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of six dosing groups of oral LOU064 in subjects with inadequately controlled CSU despite treatment with (second generation) H1-antihistamine. The study comprised of the 7 treatment arms: LOU064 10 mg q.d., LOU064 35 mg q.d., LOU064 100 mg q.d., LOU064 10 mg b.i.d, LOU064 25 mg b.i.d., LOU064 100 mg b.i.d. and placebo.

PARALLEL

This was a global Phase 2b multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebocontrolled study investigating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 6 dosing groups of oral LOU064 in subjects with inadequately controlled CSU despite treatment with (second generation) H1-antihistamine. Study duration was 18 weeks (2 weeks of screening period; 12 weeks of treatment period and a 4 weeks follow-up period).

Study had 7 arms: 10 mg LOU064 q.d.; 35 mg LOU064 q.d.; 100 mg LOU064 q.d.; 10 mg LOU064 b.i.d.; 25 mg LOU064 b.i.d.; 100 mg LOU064 b.i.d.; and Placebo

Throughout study, subjects were treated with a 2nd generation H1-antihistamine at a locally approved licensed posology ("background medication"). Subjects could take an additional second generation H1-antihistamine that was eliminated primarily via renal excretion (e.g. cetirizine, levocetirizine or bilastine) as rescue medication. Eligible subjects could roll over to extension at Wk 12 or Wk 16
