Phase 3 Study Evaluates Barzolvolimab for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
This global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study investigates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of barzolvolimab in adult participants with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite treatment with non-sedating second generation H1-antihistamines at 1-4 times the locally approved dose. The study includes a screening period of up to 4 weeks, a 24-week placebo-controlled treatment period, a 28-week active treatment period where all participants receive barzolvolimab, and a 16-week treatment-free period. The primary outcome is the mean change from baseline to Week 12 in the Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7). A total of 963 participants are enrolled, with 610 in the active arms and 305 in the placebo arm. The study is sponsored by Celldex Therapeutics, with a start date of July 11, 2024, and a primary completion date in October 2026.
