Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to establish safety and efficacy of ligelizumab in adolescent and adult subjects with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite standard of care treatment by demonstrating better efficacy over omalizumab and over placebo. The study population consisted of 1,072 male and female subjects aged ≥ 12 years who were diagnosed with CSU and who remained symptomatic despite the use of H1-antihistamines. This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. There was a screening period of up to 28 days, a 52 week double-blind treatment period, and a 12 week post-treatment follow-up period.

Primary Outcome

The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. Possible range of weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is UAS7 = 0. Hives Severity Score (HSS) scale is 0 to 3. A weekly score (HSS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. Possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Hives Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (1-6 hi
