What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Weekly Itch Severity Score at Week 24

    ISS was recorded in e-diary. The ISS represents severity of itch on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The ISS7 score was the sum of daily ISS scores recorded by a participant at the same time each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no impact) to 21 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated greater intensity of itch. Least squares (LS) mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of daily scores obtained for 7 days prior to randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. Change From Baseline in Weekly Urticaria Activity Score at Week 24

    UAS is a validated composite patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure for assessing chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) activity. The once daily UAS is the sum of the daily hives severity score (HSS) and daily ISS recorded in e-diary. Daily HSS assesses number of wheals and range from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) whereas daily ISS assesses itch intensity and range from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The daily UAS scores range from 0 to 6 point/day. Once daily UAS scores are summed over 7-day period to create the UAS7 with an overall scale of 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Higher scores indicate greater severity of urticaria symptoms. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of the daily scores for the 7 days prior to the day of randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

  2. Change From Baseline in Weekly Hives Severity Score at Week 24

    Daily HSS was recorded in e-diary. The HSS7 score is the sum of daily HSS ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) recorded by a participant at the same time of each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no hives) to 21 (severe hives). Higher scores indicate greater intensity of hives. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of the daily scores for the 7 days prior to the day of randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

  3. Percentage of Responders for Weekly Itch Severity Score Minimally Important Difference (MID) at Week 24

    The ISS represents severity of itch on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The ISS7 score was the sum of daily ISS scores recorded by a participant at the same time each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no impact) to 21 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated greater intensity of itch. An ISS7 MID response was defined as >=5 points decrease from baseline after study intervention.

    Measured: Week 24

  4. Percentage of Participants With Weekly Urticaria Activity Score <=6 at Week 24

    UAS is a validated composite PRO measure for assessing CSU activity. The once daily UAS is the sum of the daily HSS and daily ISS recorded in e-diary. Daily HSS assesses number of wheals and range from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) whereas daily ISS assesses itch intensity and range from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The daily UAS scores range from 0 to 6 point/day. Once daily UAS scores are summed over 7-day period to create the UAS7 with an overall scale of 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Higher scores indicate greater severity of urticaria symptoms. In evaluating urticaria control using UAS7, an UAS7 score of <=6 indicated a well-controlled urticaria.

    Measured: Week 24

  5. Percentage of Participants With Weekly Urticaria Activity Score =0 at Week 24

    UAS is a validated composite PRO measure for assessing CSU activity. The once daily UAS is the sum of the daily HSS and daily ISS recorded in e-diary. Daily HSS assesses number of wheals and range from 0 (none) to 3 (more than 50 hives) whereas daily ISS assesses itch intensity and range from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The daily UAS scores range from 0 to 6 point/day. Once daily UAS scores are summed over 7-day period to create the UAS7 with an overall scale of 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Higher scores indicate greater severity of urticaria symptoms. In evaluating urticaria control using UAS7, an UAS7 score of 0 indicated an absence of both itch and hives and a complete resolution of CSU symptoms.

    Measured: Week 24

  6. Change From Baseline in Urticaria Control Test (UCT) at Week 24

    The UCT assessed urticaria control based on 4 items (severity of pruritus and wheals urticaria symptoms; frequency of treatment being not sufficient; quality-of-life [QoL] impairment; overall urticarial control). Each item was rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 (no control) to 4 (maximum control). The overall UCT score was the sum of all 4 individual item scores with a range of 0 (no disease control) to 16 (complete disease control). Higher scores indicated greater disease control. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study intervention.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

  7. Change From Baseline in Weekly Itch Severity Score at Week 12

    ISS was recorded in e-diary. The ISS represents severity of itch on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The ISS7 score was the sum of daily ISS scores recorded by a participant at the same time each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no impact) to 21 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated greater intensity of itch. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of daily scores obtained for 7 days prior to randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 12

  8. Change From Baseline in Weekly Urticaria Activity Score at Week 12

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 12

  12. Change From Baseline in Urticaria Control Test at Week 12

    The UCT assessed urticaria control based on 4 items (severity of pruritus and wheals urticaria symptoms; frequency of treatment being not sufficient; quality-of-life [QoL] impairment; overall urticarial control). Each item was rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 (no control) to 4 (maximum control). The overall UCT score was the sum of all 4 individual item scores with a range of 0 (no disease control) to 16 (complete disease control). Higher scores indicated greater disease control. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study intervention.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 12

  13. Change From Baseline in Weekly Itch Severity Score at Weeks 4, 8, 16 and 20

    ISS was recorded in e-diary. The ISS represents severity of itch on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The ISS7 score was the sum of daily ISS scores recorded by a participant at the same time each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no impact) to 21 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated greater intensity of itch. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of daily scores obtained for 7 days prior to randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 4, 8, 16 and 20

  14. Time to First Weekly Itch Severity Score Minimally Important Difference Response During the 24-Week Treatment Period

    The ISS represents severity of itch on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The ISS7 score was the sum of daily ISS scores recorded by a participant at the same time each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no impact) to 21 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated greater intensity of itch. The MID for ISS7 was a change of 5.0 points. Time to first ISS7 MID response (ISS7 >=5) was defined as time to reduction from baseline of 5 points or more. Kaplan-Meier estimate is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of daily scores obtained for 7 days prior to randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 24

  15. Change From Baseline in Angioedema Activity Score Over 7 Days (AAS7) at Weeks 12 and 24

    The AAS is a diary in which participants document on a daily basis the presence or absence of angioedema during the past 24 hours. If angioedema is present, participants answer 5 additional questions about the time of the day the swelling episode occurred and the severity and impact on daily functioning and appearance this swelling episode has had. Each AAS item is scored between 0 (minimum) and 3 (maximum). The daily AASs range from 0 (no episode) to 15 (severe) points. The AAS7 score is the sum of daily AAS scores reported by a participant at the same time of each day over 7 days, with a range of 0 (no angioedema episodes) to 105 (highest angioedema severity). Higher scores indicate greater angioedema activity. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the sum of the daily scores for the 7 days prior to the day of randomization.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 12 and 24

  16. Percentage of Well-controlled Participants (Urticaria Control Test >=12) at Weeks 12 and 24

    The UCT assessed urticaria control based on 4 items (severity of pruritus and wheals urticaria symptoms; frequency of treatment being not sufficient; QoL impairment; overall urticarial control). Each item was rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 (no control) to 4 (maximum control). The overall UCT score was the sum of all 4 individual item scores with a range of 0 (no disease control) to 16 (complete disease control). Higher scores indicated greater disease control. An UCT score of >=12 (out of maximum 16) indicated a well-controlled urticaria disease status.

    Measured: Weeks 12 and 24

  17. Change From Baseline in Health-related Quality-of-life (HRQoL) as Measured by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in Participants >=16 Years Old at Weeks 12 and 24

    The DLQI is an assessment assessing the impact of skin disease on participants' HRQoL over the previous week and contains 10 questions related to symptoms, leisure activities, work/school or holiday time, personal relationships including intimate, the side effects of treatment, and emotional reactions to having a skin disease. The questions (except question 7) were scored on a 4-point Likert scale: 0 (not at all), 1 (a little), 2 (a lot), 3 (very much). Question 7 about work/studying asked whether work/study had been prevented and then (if "No") to what degree the skin condition has been a problem at work/study; the item was again rated on a 3-point Likert scale: 0 (not at all) to 3 (a lot). Total DLQI was calculated by summing the score of each question and ranged from 0 (no impact) to 30 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated poor HRQoL. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study intervention.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 12 and 24

  18. Change From Baseline in Health-related Quality-of-life as Measured by Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) in Participants >=6 to <16 Years Old at Weeks 12 and 24

    The CDLQI is a validated questionnaire designed to measure the impact of skin disease on children's HRQoL. Participants provide responses to 10 questions (symptoms feelings associated with disease, the impact of the disease on leisure, school or holidays, personal relationships, sleep, and side effects of treatment for the skin disease). The instrument has a recall period of 7 days. 9 of the 10 questions are scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all/question unanswered) to 3 (very much). Question 7 has an additional possible response (prevented school) which is assigned a score of 3 (0 [not at all] to 3 [definitely]). The total CDLQI score is the sum of the score of each question ranging 0 (no impact) to 30 (severe impact). The higher the score, the greater the impact is on the child's HRQoL. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study intervention.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 12 and 24

  19. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria at Weeks 12 and 24

    The PGIC is a 1-item questionnaire that asks the participant to provide the overall self-assessment of change in their CSU on a 7-point scale compared to just before participant started taking the study intervention. Response choices are: 0 (very much better), 1 (moderately better), 2 (a little better), 3 (no change), 4 (a little worse), 5 (moderately worse), 6 (very much worse). Higher score indicate worsening.

    Measured: Weeks 12 and 24

  20. Change From Baseline in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria at Weeks 12 and 24

    The PGIS is a 1-item questionnaire that asks participants to provide the overall self-assessment of their disease severity on a 4-point scale for the past week. Response choices are: 1 (none), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe). Higher score indicate more severity. Baseline was defined as the last available value up to randomization date and prior to the first dose of study intervention.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 12 and 24

  21. Time to First Oral Corticosteroid (OCS) Use for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria During the 24-week Treatment Period

    Participants receiving OCS as rescue medications for CSU were recorded by the Investigator in e-case report form (eCRF) during the 24-week treatment period. Kaplan-Meier estimate for time to first OCS use is presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 24

  22. Percentage of Participants Receiving Oral Corticosteroid for Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria During the 24-week Treatment Period

    Percentage of participants receiving OCS as rescue medications for CSU were recorded by the Investigator in eCRF during the 24-week treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 24

  23. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the TE period.

    Measured: From first dose of study intervention (Day 1) up to end of follow-up, approximately 36 weeks each for Study A, B and C

  24. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA) Against Dupilumab

    Blood samples were collected at specified timepoints and ADA samples were assayed using validated methods. Treatment-emergent ADA response was defined as a positive response in the ADA assay post first dose when baseline results were negative or missing. Number of participants with treatment-emergent ADA response is presented.

    Measured: Up to Week 24

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 10 inclusion and 14 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 20 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 98 sites in United States, Spain, Canada, Japan, Russia and 6 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 20 Aug 2025). 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 From Baseline in Weekly Itch Severity Score at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24). 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 NCT04180488, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 20 Aug 2025.
