About this study

Official title: Effect of Omalizumab (Xolair) on the Basophil Proteome in Patients With Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria

This study looks at changes in cell proteins in people with chronic hives treated with omalizumab.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate for changes in the proteins produced in white blood cells (basophils) in patients with chronic hives who are treated with and respond to omalizumab.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in the Basophil Proteome

    In patients with chronic urticaria who respond clinically to omalizumab, the proteome of blood basophils will be measured at baseline (pre-treatment) and at weeks 6 and 13 (post-treatment). The number of participants with a change observed in basophil proteome out of the total number of participants, stratified by responders and non-responders, is reported.

    Measured: Baseline through week 13

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Basophil Proteome in Responders to Omalizumab Compared to Non-responders to Omalizumab.

    Change in basophil proteome in responders to omalizumab compared to non-responders to omalizumab. However, there was insufficient data from weeks 6 and 13 to analyze this outcome.

    Measured: Baseline through week 13

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Omalizumab in people with Chronic Urticaria, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in the Basophil Proteome (time frame: Baseline through week 13). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01701583, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Dec 2020.
