Active clinical trials for "Chronic Urticaria"

This is a placebo and active-controlled phase 2b dose-finding study to evaluate efficacy and safety of QGE031 monthly subcutaneous injections as add-on therapy in patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria.

This clinical study was designed based on our hypothesis that vitamin D plays an important role in chronic urticaria and that high dose supplementation with vitamin D in subjects with chronic urticaria will improve clinical response. This clinical study will investigate our hypothesis in three Specific Aims: Determine whether high dosing vitamin D supplementation (4000 IU/day) reduces medication usage (primary outcome) and urticaria severity score (secondary outcome) in subjects with chronic urticaria as compared to low dosing (600 IU/day). Determine if high dosing of vitamin D (4000 IU/day) is safe and well-tolerated in subjects with chronic urticaria with or without baseline vitamin D deficiency. Investigate whether there is an association with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, vitamin D receptor mRNA expression, and chronic urticaria severity.

Urticaria is a common dermatology disease. Urticaria affects nearly 25% of the population at some time in their lives. Recurrent skin itch, insomnia, daily activities limitation greatly affect the quality of life. Some patient with chronic urticaria who had poor response to antihistamine may need second line medication. In United States, up to 54% chronic urticarial patient use oral corticosteroid to control. However, long-term use of oral steroids still needs to consider the impact of its side effects. Therefore, patients may seek for alternative medicine as an adjuvant therapy. It is still lack large-scale clinical trials in Traditional Chinese Medicine research of chronic urticarial. The aim of this study is to conduct a double-blind, randomized clinical trial to analyze the effectiveness of Chinese medicine in chronic urticaria and its possible mechanisms.

The conduct of this clinical trial is aimed at determining the most suitable dose regimen for children in different age groups, and secondarily to assess the safety and tolerability of bilastine in this paediatric population subset.

This Study is to comparison of Efficacy and Consistency of Action of Levocetirizine 5 mg once daily with Fexofenadine 60 mg twice daily in the histamine induced wheal, flare and itch Response.

The study is a global Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of omalizumab administered subcutaneously as an add-on therapy for the treatment of adolescent and adult patients aged 12-75 who have been diagnosed with chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) who remain symptomatic despite standard-dosed H1 antihistamine treatment (including doses up to 4 times above the approved dose level), H2 blockers, and/or leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA).

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of omalizumab in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic urticaria who exhibit IgE against thyroperoxidase.

This study will investigate the effectiveness of desloratadine at doses higher (10 mg and 20 mg) than currently approved (5 mg) for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria. Subjects with chronic urticaria who are currently taking a second generation antihistamine will be treated with desloratadine (5, 10, or 20 mg) for 28 days.

This trial assessed the efficacy of optimized re-treatment therapy with omalizumab (150mg or 300mg) after relapse, in participants with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria who were clinically well-controlled following their first course of treatment with omalizumab (150mg or 300mg). The study also assessed the benefit of uptitrating to 300mg dose in participants who were not well-controlled following their initial course of treatment with omalizumab 150mg, as well as the benefit of treatment extension of those patients who were not well-controlled following their initial course of treatment with omalizumab 300mg.

This is a Phase IV, single-site study that will examine blood cells or tissue obtained from CIU ( chronic idiopathic Urticaria) patients receiving open-label treatment with omalizumab at the current FDA-approved dose of 300 mg/month for 12 weeks in addition to standard therapy with anti-histamines. Results from the 3 Phase III studies in CIU patients provide evidence that a meaningful change in symptoms is apparent at 1-2 wks. The Minimal Important Difference (MID) is achieved by 70% of patients by 2 wks on multiple background drugs for hives. The goal is to identity the IgE bearing cell type associated with clinical symptom change.
