Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- 1. Read, understood, and provided written informed consent, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization if applicable, after the nature of the study has been fully explained.
- Willing and able to comply with all study requirements and procedures, including the completion of a daily diary during screening and throughout the study. Note: For study eligibility, patients need to complete the diary for at least 6 of the 7 days immediately prior to randomization.
- 2. Male or female, ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
- 3. Diagnosis of ColdU or SD for ≥ 3 months prior to Screening Visit 1
- 4. Patients with chronic ColdU or SD whose urticaria remains uncontrolled despite a stable regimen of a second-generation non-sedating H1AH as defined by all of the following: Recurrent pruritic wheals with or without angioedema due to ColdU or SD for ≥ 6 weeks prior to Screening Visit 1 despite treatment with a H1AH Patients must have been on a stable regimen of daily use of a single second-generation non-sedating H1AH at approved or increased (up to 4 times the approved) dose for the treatment of ColdU or SD for ≥ 4 weeks prior to randomization and which is expected to remain stable at the time of randomization and throughout the study UCT < 12 at Screening Visit 1 and the randomization visit (Visit 3)
- 5. Provocation tests that meet the following criteria: For ColdU patients: developing a wheal at the provocation site within 10 min after provocation using TempTest® at any temperature at both screening (Visit 1) and randomization (Visit 3) For SD patients, developing a wheal at the provocation site within 10 min after provocation using FricTest® with ≥ 3 pins at both screening (Visit 1) and randomization (Visit 3)
You likely can't join if
- 1. Diseases with possible symptoms of urticaria or angioedema such as urticarial vasculitis, erythema multiforme, cutaneous mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa), autoimmune syndromes with urticarial lesions (e.g., Schnitzler Syndrome) and hereditary or acquired angioedema (e.g., due to C1 inhibitor deficiency).
- 10. Planned or anticipated use of any prohibited medications during screening and study treatment, and follow-up
- 11. Receipt of a live vaccine within 2 months prior to the Baseline (Day 1) Visit (patients must agree to avoid live vaccination during study treatment and within 3 months thereafter). Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed. Currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines are allowed.
- 12. Diagnosis of idiopathic anaphylaxis or exercise-induced anaphylaxis, or a history of anaphylaxis (such as those due to Hymenoptera venom or IgE-mediated food allergy), that in the opinion of the investigator, would increase the patient’s risk for systemic hypersensitivity reactions; or any known contraindications or hypersensitivity to any component of study treatments, drugs of similar chemical classes (i.e., to murine, chimeric, or human antibodies) or antihistamines. Note: ColdU patients with a history of cold-induced anaphylaxis due to cold exposure over a large body surface area (such as swimming in cold water) are not excluded
- 13. Women who are pregnant or nursing. All female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to starting study treatment.
- 14. Severe or uncontrolled chronic diseases (e.g., chronic hepatic or renal disease, diabetes mellitus) that might interfere with the evaluation of the clinical effect or safety of study treatment.
