Of note, if the subject reaches age of consent (age as per local law) during the study, they will also need to sign the corresponding study Informed Consent Form (ICF) at the next study visit.
  • Male and female subjects ≥ 12 years of age at the time of screening.
  • CSU diagnosis for ≥ 6 months.
  • Diagnosis of CSU refractory to H1-AH at approved doses at the time of randomization, as defined by all of the following:
  • The presence of itch and hives for ≥ 6 consecutive weeks at any time prior to Visit 1 (Day - 28 to Day -14) despite current use of non-sedating H1-antihistamine
  • UAS7 score (range 0-42) ≥ 16 and HSS7 (range 0-21) ≥ 8 during the 7 days prior to randomization (Visit 110, Day 1)
  • Subjects must be on H1-antihistamine at only locally label approved doses for treatment of CSU starting at Visit 1 (Day -28 to Day -14)
  • Willing and able to complete a daily symptom eDiary for the duration of the study and adhere to the study visit schedules.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or their excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes (i.e. to murine, chimeric or human antibodies).
  • Subjects having a clearly defined cause of their chronic urticaria, other than CSU. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: symptomatic dermographism (urticaria factitia), cold-, heat-, solar-, pressure-, delayed pressure-, aquagenic-, cholinergic- or contact-urticaria.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Mean Change From Baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation) of Adult Subjects
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 hives/12 hours) 2 - Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3 - Severe (>12 hives/12 hours). Itch Severity Score (ISS) scale is 0 to 3. Score (ISS7) is derived by adding up average daily scores of 7 days preceding visit. Possible range of weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate). Negative change from baseline indicates improvement
Mean Change From Baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 (Observed Data) of Adolescent Subjects (FAS)
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 hives/12 hours) 2 - Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3 - Severe (>12 hives/12 hours). Itch Severity Score (ISS) scale is 0 to 3. Score (ISS7) is derived by adding up average daily scores of 7 days preceding visit. Possible range of weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate). Negative change from baseline indicates improvement

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number and Proportion of Subjects With UAS7=0 Response at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation - Adults, Observed Data for Adolescents)
The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is the sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is the sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. The possible range of the weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is defined as UAS7 = 0. No Statistical analysis was planned for adolescent group.
Mean Change From Baseline in ISS7 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation) of Adult Subjects (FAS)
Improvement of severity of itch assessed as absolute change from baseline in ISS7 score at Week 12 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. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate) Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Mean Change From Baseline in ISS7 at Week 12 (Observed Data) of Adolescent Subjects, (FAS)
Improvement of severity of itch assessed as absolute change from baseline in ISS7 score at Week 12 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. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate) Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.. No Statistical Analysis was planned for adolescent population.
Number and Proportion of Participants With DLQI Score of 0 - 1 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation - Adults, Observed Data for Adolescents)
Assessed as percentage of subjects achieving DLQI = 0-1, meaning, no impact on subjects quality of life at Week 12 The Dermatology life Quality Index (DLQI) score range is 0 to 30, with 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life). No statistical anaylsis was planned for adolescent group.

5. Study Description

Brief 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.
Detailed Description
This was a Phase III multi-center, randomized, double-blind, active and placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. The study consisted of 3 distinct periods: Screening period (Day -28 to Day 1): Duration of up to 4 weeks in which subjects who have given informed consent were assessed for eligibility. Double-blind treatment period (52 weeks): The subjects were seen in the clinic every 4 weeks. Post-treatment follow-up period (12 weeks): This period consists of 3 visits (every 4 weeks) with the final visit occurring 16 weeks after the last dose at Week 48.
