| Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria | Drug: LOU064 (blinded) Drug: Placebo Drug: LOU064 (open-label) | Phase 3 |
This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of remibrutinib in adult participants with CSU inadequately controlled by second generation H1-antihistamines.
Inadequate control of CSU by H1-antihistamines is defined as:
- The presence of itch and hives for ≥ 6 consecutive weeks prior to screening despite the use of second generation H1-antihistamines during this time period
- UAS7 score (range 0-42) ≥ 16, ISS7 score (range 0-21) ≥ 6 and HSS7 score (range 0-21) ≥ 6 during the 7 days prior to randomization (Day 1).
The study consists of four periods, the total study duration is up to 60 weeks. Screening period of up to 4 weeks, double-blind treatment period of 24 weeks, open-label treatment period of 28 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment-free follow up.
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to the treatment arms in a 2:1 ratio. The study population will consist of approximately 450 female and male adult participants (300 in the active arm and 150 in the placebo arm) with CSU inadequately controlled by second generation H1-antihistamines at least at locally label approved dose.

- Change from baseline in UAS7 (Scenario 1 with UAS7 as primary efficacy endpoint) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
To demonstrate that remibrutinib 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.
- Absolute change in ISS7 and absolute change in HSS7 (Scenario 2 with ISS7 and HSS7 as co-primary efficacy endpoints) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
To demonstrate that remibrutinib is superior to placebo in CSU with respect to change from baseline in ISS7 and HSS7 at Week 12 by assessing absolute change from baseline in weekly Itch Severity Score (ISS7) and weekly Hive Severity Score (HSS7) at week 12.
The ISS7 and HSS7 combined together make up the UAS7 scoring system to evaluate urticaria signs and symptoms. The HSS7 score is the wheal/hives severity score for 7 days and the ISS7 is the itch severity score for 7 days, both these scores range from 0 to 21.
- Change from baseline in UAS7 (only in scenario 2) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate that remibrutinib is superior to placebo in CSU with respect to change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 by assessing absolute change from baseline in UAS7 at week 12.
- Sustained disease activity control (UAS7 ≤6) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate that remibrutinib treated participants maintain disease activity control (defined as UAS7≤6) for more weeks compared to placebo treated participants over 12 weeks by assessing cumulative number of weeks with an UAS7 ≤ 6 response between baseline and Week 12.
- Complete absence of hives and itch (UAS7 = 0) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants achieve complete absence of hives and itch (UAS7 = 0) at Week 12 who are treated with remibrutinib compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing achievement of UAS7 at week 12.
- Reduction of weekly ISS score (only in scenario 1) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate the superiority of remibrutinib treated participants with respect to a reduction from baseline in the weekly itch severity score at Week 12 compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing absolute change from baseline in ISS7 score.
- Reduction of weekly HSS score (only in scenario 1) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate the superiority of remibrutinib treated participants with respect to a reduction from baseline in the weekly hive severity score at Week 12 compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing absolute change from baseline in HSS7 score.
- Early onset of disease control (UAS7 ≤ 6 at week 2) [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants achieve UAS7 ≤ 6 at Week 2 who are treated with remibrutinib compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing achievement of UAS ≤ 6 at week 2.
- Disease activity control (UAS7 ≤ 6) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants achieve disease activity control (UAS7 ≤ 6) at Week 12 who are treated with remibrutinib compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing achievement of UA7 ≤ 6 at week 12.
- Achievement of DLQI = 0 - 1 [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate that a greater proportion of participants who are treated with remibrutinib achieve DLQI = 0-1 at Week 12 compared to placebo-treated participants by assessing achievement of DLQI = 0 - 1 at week 12.
- Number of weeks without angioedema (AAS = 0) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]To demonstrate that remibrutinib treated participants have more angioedema occurrence-free weeks over 12 weeks compared with placebo-treated participants by assessing the cumulative number of weeks with an AAS = 0 response between baseline and week 12.
- Number of participants with Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 56 weeks ]To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of remibrutinib by assessing the occurrence of treatment emergent adverse events and serious adverse events during the study.
