About this study

Official title: XTEND-CIU (Xolair Treatment Efficacy of Longer Duration in Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria): A Phase IV, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Omalizumab Through 48 Weeks in Patients With Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) omalizumab (Xolair) as an add-on therapy through 48 weeks for treatment of H1 antihistamine refractory chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). After completing an initial 24-week open-label treatment period with omalizumab 300 milligrams (mg) every 4 weeks (Q4W), participants responding to omalizumab will be randomized at a 3:2 ratio (omalizumab:placebo) to either continue omalizumab or be transitioned to placebo for a further 24 weeks.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
OmalizumabExperimentalParticipants will receive open-label omalizumab treatment at 300 mg SC Q4W for 24 weeks. After 24 weeks open-label treatment, eligible participants will be randomized to receive omalizumab treatment at 300 mg SC Q4W for next 24 weeks (up to Week 48). Participants randomized to omalizumab may, at the discretion of the investigator, be transitioned from blinded study drug to open-label omalizumab at 300 mg SC Q4W if they experience clinically significant worsening in their CIU (as judged by the investigator). Participants who are transitioned to open-label omalizumab will continue to receive open-label omalizumab as study drug until Week 48.
Receives: Drug: Omalizumab
PlaceboPlacebo comparatorParticipants will receive open-label omalizumab treatment at 300 mg SC Q4W for 24 weeks. After 24 weeks open-label treatment, eligible participants will be randomized to receive placebo SC Q4W for next 24 weeks (up to Week 48). Participants randomized to placebo may, at the discretion of the investigator, be transitioned from blinded study drug to open-label omalizumab at 300 mg SC Q4W if they experience clinically significant worsening in their CIU (as judged by the investigator).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Clinical Worsening in CIU as Assessed by Urticaria Activity Score Over 7 Days (UAS7) (Clinical Worsening: UAS7 Greater Than or Equal to [>/=] 12, Maintained for At Least 2 Consecutive Weeks)

    Urticaria activity score (UAS) is a composite diary-recorded score with numeric severity ratings (0=none to 3=intense) for the number of wheals (hives) per 24 hours and the intensity of the pruritus (itch). The total UAS score (sum of the wheal and pruritus scores) ranges from 0 to 6. Due to variations in chronic urticaria disease intensity, assessment of disease activity was based on a weekly (7 days) UAS score called UAS7, that is, the sum of the daily average UASs (average of morning and evening scores), ranging from 0 to 42 per week. A higher score indicates worse disease. Clinical worsening in CIU was defined as UAS7 >/=12 for at least 2 consecutive weeks post-randomization between Weeks 24 and 48.

    Measured: From randomization (Week 24) to Week 48

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Clinical Worsening in CIU as Assessed by UAS7 (Clinical Worsening: UAS7 >/=12, Maintained for At Least 2 Consecutive Weeks)

    The UAS is a composite diary-recorded score with numeric severity ratings (0=none to 3=intense) for the number of wheals per 24 hours and the intensity of the pruritus. The total UAS score ranges from 0 to 6. UAS7 is the sum of the daily average UASs (average of morning and evening scores), ranging from 0 to 42 per week. A higher score indicates worse disease. Time to clinical worsening in CIU was defined as the number of weeks from the first double-blind treatment to the first two-week interval with UAS7 >/=12 for both weeks. If clinical worsening did not occur, time to clinical worsening was censored at the end of the last week for which the UAS7 score was not missing and less than (<) 12, prior to last randomized dose + 4 weeks, or the first open-label transition dose, whichever was earlier. Median time to clinical worsening was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.

    Measured: From randomization (Week 24) to Week 48

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Clinical Worsening in CIU as Assessed by UAS7 (Clinical Worsening: UAS7 Greater Than [>] 6, Maintained for At Least 2 Consecutive Weeks)

    The UAS is a composite diary-recorded score with numeric severity ratings (0=none to 3=intense) for the number of wheals per 24 hours and the intensity of the pruritus. The total UAS score ranges from 0 to 6. UAS7 is the sum of the daily average UASs (average of morning and evening scores), ranging from 0 to 42 per week. A higher score indicates worse disease. Clinical worsening in CIU was defined as UAS7 >6 for at least 2 consecutive weeks post-randomization between weeks 24 and 48.

    Measured: From randomization (Week 24) to Week 48

  3. Change From Randomization (Week 24) to Week 48 in UAS7 Among Participants Who Received Total 48 Weeks Treatment With Omalizumab

    The UAS is a composite diary-recorded score with numeric severity ratings (0=none to 3=intense) for the number of wheals per 24 hours and the intensity of the pruritus. The total UAS score ranges from 0 to 6. UAS7 is the sum of the daily average UASs (average of morning and evening scores), ranging from 0 to 42 per week. A higher score indicates worse disease. A negative change in score (Week 48 score minus Week 24 score) indicates improvement.

    Measured: Week 24 (randomization) and Week 48

  4. Retreatment Efficacy: Change From Time of Retreatment to 12 Weeks After Retreatment in UAS7 Among Participants Randomized to Placebo and Who Were Retreated With Open-Label Omalizumab After Randomization

    The UAS is a composite diary-recorded score with numeric severity ratings (0=none to 3=intense) for the number of wheals per 24 hours and the intensity of the pruritus. The total UAS score ranges from 0 to 6. UAS7 is the sum of the daily average UASs (average of morning and evening scores), ranging from 0 to 42 per week. A higher score indicates worse disease. A negative change in score indicates improvement.

    Measured: At start of retreatment (any time between Weeks 24 and Week 48) and 12 weeks after retreatment (up to Week 60)

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Omalizumab in people with Urticaria, run by Genentech, Inc. at 40 sites 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 29 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 26 Mar 2018). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Clinical Worsening in CIU as Assessed by Urticaria Activity Score Over 7 Days (UAS7) (Clinical Worsening: UAS7 Greater Than or Equal to [>/=] 12, Maintained for At Least 2 Consecutive Weeks) (time frame: From randomization (Week 24) to Week 48). 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 NCT02392624, 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.
