About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TLL-018 in Participants With Moderate-to-Severe Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria With Inadequate Controll to Second Generation H1-antihistamines

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 12

    To demonstrate that TLL-018 is superior to placebo in CSU with respect to change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 by assessing absolute change from baseline in weekly Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7) at week 12.

    The UAS7 is a scoring system to evaluate urticaria signs and symptoms. It is based on scoring wheals (hive severity score) and itch (itch severity score) separately on a scale of 0 (no signs/symptoms) to 3 (intense signs/symptoms) over 7 days. The final score is calculated by adding together the daily scores, which can range from 0 to 6, for 7 days. This results in a maximum total score of 42, and a minimum possible score of 0.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in ISS7 at Week 12

    To demonstrate that TLL-018 is superior to placebo in CSU with respect to change from baseline in ISS7 at Week 12 by assessing absolute change from baseline in weekly Itch Severity Score (ISS7) at week 12.

    The ISS7 is the itch severity score for 7 days, and it ranges from 0 to 21.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change from baseline in HSS7 at Week 12

    To demonstrate that TLL-018 is superior to placebo in CSU with respect to change from baseline in HSS7 at Week 12 by assessing absolute change from baseline in hive severity score (HSS7) at week 12.

    The HSS7 is the hive severity score for 7 days, and it ranges from 0 to 21.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Proportion of Participants With UAS7≤6 Response at Week 12

    To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants achieve disease activity control UAS7≤6 at Week 12 who are treated with TLL-018 compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing achievement of UAS7≤6 at week 12.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Proportion of Participants With UAS7=0 Response at Week 12

    To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants achieve complete absence of hives and itch (UAS7 = 0) at Week 12 who are treated with TLL-018 compared to placebo-treated participants by achievement of UAS7 = 0 at week 12.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Proportion of Participants With DLQI=0/1 Response at Week 12

    To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants who are treated with TLL-018 achieve DLQI = 0/1 at Week 12 compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing achievement of DLQI = 0/1 at week 12.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Change from baseline in DLQI at Week 12

    To demonstrate that TLL-018 is superior to placebo in CSU with respect to change from baseline in DLQI at Week 12 by assessing absolute change from baseline in DLQI at week 12.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of TLL-018 by assessing occurrence of treatment emergent adverse events and serious adverse events during the study.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TLL-018 tablets in people with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, run by Hangzhou Highlightll Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd at 1 site in China.

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 18 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2026. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 UAS7 at Week 12 (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Jun 2026.
