Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change From Baseline in the Weekly Itch Severity Score at Week 12 The weekly itch severity score is a component of the Urticaria Activity Score 7 (UAS7) composite score. The UAS7 is a composite score of the number of wheals (hives) and the severity of the itch. The weekly itch severity score is the sum of the daily itch severity scores over 7 days and ranges from 0 to 21. The daily itch severity score is the average of the morning and evening scores on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The Baseline weekly itch severity score is the sum of the daily itch severity scores over the 7 days prior to the first treatment. A higher itch severity score indicates more severe itching. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement. Baseline to Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Urticaria Activity Score Over 7 Days (UAS7) at Week 12 The UAS7 is a composite score of the number of wheals (hives) and the severity of the itch. The UAS7 is determined by the sum of the daily urticaria activity scores over 7 days and ranges from 0 to 42. The daily urticaria activity score is the average of the morning and evening urticaria activity scores and ranges from 0 to 6. The urticaria activity score is the sum of ratings on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=none to 3=intense/severe) for (1) the number of wheals (hives) and (2) itch intensity over the previous 12 hours, ranges from 0 to 6, and is measured twice daily (morning and evening). The Baseline score is the sum of the daily urticaria activity scores over the 7 days prior to the first treatment. A higher urticaria activity score indicates more severe symptoms. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement. Baseline to Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Weekly Number of Hives Score at Week 12 The weekly hives score is the sum of the daily hives scores over 7 days and ranges from 0 to 21. The number of hives is measured twice daily (morning and evening) on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (> 12 hives per 12 hours). The daily hives score is the average of the morning and evening scores. The Baseline score is the sum of the daily hives scores over the 7 days prior to the first treatment. A higher score indicates more hives. A negative change score indicates improvement. Baseline to Week 12 No
Secondary Percentage of Participants With a UAS7 Score = 6 at Week 12 The UAS7 is a composite score of the number of wheals (hives) and the severity of the itch. The UAS7 is determined by the sum of the daily urticaria activity scores over 7 days and ranges from 0 to 42. The daily urticaria activity score is the average of the morning and evening urticaria activity scores and ranges from 0 to 6. The urticaria activity score is the sum of ratings on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=none to 3=intense/severe) for (1) the number of wheals (hives) and (2) itch intensity over the previous 12 hours, ranges from 0 to 6, and is measured twice daily (morning and evening). The Baseline score is the sum of the daily urticaria activity scores over the 7 days prior to the first treatment. A higher urticaria activity score indicates more severe symptoms. Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Weekly Size of the Largest Hive Score at Week 12 The weekly size of the largest hive score is the sum of the daily size of the largest hive scores over 7 days and ranges from 0 to 21. The daily size of the largest hive score is assessed twice daily (morning and evening) on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (> 2.5 cm). The daily size of the largest hive score is the average of the morning and evening scores. The Baseline weekly size of the largest hive score is calculated over the 7 days prior to the first treatment. A higher score indicates larger hives. A negative change score from baseline indicates a reduction in hive size. Baseline to Week 12 No
Secondary Percentage of Weekly Itch Severity Score Minimally Important Difference (MID) Responders at Week 12 Weekly itch severity score MID response is defined as a reduction from baseline in weekly itch severity score of = 5 points. Week 12 No
Secondary Percentage of Complete Responders (UAS7 = 0) at Week 12 Complete responders are defined as participants who achieved UAS7 = 0. Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Overall Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Week 12 The DLQI is a 10-item dermatology-specific health-related quality of life measure. Participants rated their dermatology symptoms as well as the impact of their skin condition on various aspects of their lives on a scale of 0 (Not at all) to 3 (Very much). The overall DLQI is the sum of the responses to the 10 items and ranges from 0 to 30. A lower score indicates a better quality of life. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement. Baseline to Week 12 No
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Production of Anti-omalizumab Antibody Serum samples were collected for anti-omalizumab antibody testing. Week 24 Yes
