Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

High Dose Vitamin D

Low Dose Vitamin D

Arm Description

Participants receive high dose of Vitamin D (4,000 IU/day) in addition to standard of care dose of Omalizumab.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in total Urticaria Severity Score (USS)
The USS is a questionnaire which is used to measure urticaria severity. The questionnaire is comprised on 9 questions with each question having 7 total responses on a likert-type scale. Responses to each question range from 0 to 7.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of subjects restarted on Omalizumab
Number of participants restarted on Omalizumab after coming off it at Month 4
Change in total Urticaria Severity Score (USS)
