Compares treatment options for Chronic Inducible Urticaria
Official title A Study to Investigate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Barzolvolimab Versus Placebo in Adults With Cold Induced Urticaria and Symptomatic Dermographism Inadequately Controlled by H1-antihistamines (EMBARQ - ColdU and SD)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07266402
What this study is testing
What is Barzolvolimab?
Barzolvolimab is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic inducible urticaria.
Also referred to as CDX-0159.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess the activity and safety of barzolvolimab compared to placebo in participants with cold induced urticaria or symptomatic dermographism who remain symptomatic despite the use of H1-antihistamines.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
