Active clinical trials for "Urticaria"

The purpose of the study is to investigate the mechanism of action for ligelizumab (QGE031) treatment in patients with chronic urticaria. The study has two parts. The study population will consist of approximately 68 male and female healthy volunteers and patients. In Part 1, approximately 20 healthy volunteers and patients with chornic urticaria will be enrolled. In Part 2 approximately 48 patients with chronic urticaria (spontaneous chronic urticaria, cholinergic urticaria or cold urticaria). Part 1 consists of a screening period up 2 weeks and a visit with skin tests; there is no treatment taken in Part 1. Part 2 is randomized, subject, investigator and sponsor blinded. It consists of a screening period up to 4 weeks, a 16 week treatment period and a 12-week follow-up period after last treatment. A follow-up call at Week 32 will be performed via telephone.

The purpose of the study is to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral UCB8600.

This pilot and dose-ranging study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of MTPS9579A compared with placebo in participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refractory to antihistamines. This study comprises two parts. In Part 1, participants will be randomized to receive MTPS9579A or placebo. On the basis of positive results from Part 1, a dose-ranging Part 2 may be opened, where participants will be randomized to receive one of four MTPS9579A doses or placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of etanercept for patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria unresponsive to antihistamines.

This study is for those people with difficult to treat hives. We are investigating whether or not a different medication, hydroxychloroquine, works to treat a certain type of hives. Hydrochloroquine is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for treating arthritis, therefore it is considered investigational in this study. Hypothesis: Hydroxychloroquine will prove to have an efficacious response in terms of Urticarial Symptoms, on patients with chronic urticaria.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tirabrutinib in reducing disease activity in participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) with respect to change from baseline in urticaria activity score over 7 days (UAS7) at Week 8 when added to standard of care.

Several studies have shown a relationship between psychological stress and chronic urticaria (hives). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect psychological stress intervention has on chronic urticaria.

adenosine deaminase activity (ADA) has been reported to be elevated in various diseases such as psoriasis, acne and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. There is no previous studies that assessed ADA in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) .

The proposed research is intended to determine if supplementation of relatively high dose vitamin D in chronic urticaria patients receiving omalizumab will result in continued symptomatic control of hives after the discontinuation of omalizumab.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria and angioedema (CSUA) is a disease of the skin characterised by hives, swellings or both that last longer than 6 weeks. People with this disease commonly describe poor sleep, reduced quality of life and psychological difficulties such as depression and anxiety. This study seeks to understand relationships between physical activity, sleep and symptoms of urticaria. We are asking individuals with urticaria to wear a fitbit tracker which monitors their physical activity and sleep. Participants also download an app onto their smartphone called Athena CX which is designed by the study team in DCU. The purpose of the app is capture real-time information from participants on mood and any skin symptoms they experience. We will use this information to learn more about possible links between symptoms of urticaria and lifestyle behaviours.
