Brief Summary

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

Primary Objective:

This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab in study participants with CSU who remained symptomatic despite the use of H1 antihistamine (Study A and C: omalizumab naïve; Study B: omalizumab intolerant or incomplete responders)

Secondary Objectives:

This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on urticaria activity composite endpoint and itch or hives, separately, at various timepoints This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on angioedema This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on urticaria control This study aimed to demonstrate improvement in health-related quality of life and overall disease status and severity This study aimed to evaluate the ability of dupilumab in reducing the proportion of participants who require treatment with oral corticosteroids (OCS) This study aimed to evaluate safety outcome measures This study aimed to evaluate immunogenicity of dupilumab
