Study Summary

This trial tests if a drug (remibrutinib) can help adults with CINDU, a condition inadequately controlled by antihistamines. Results will show safety, efficacy, & tolerability.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with Chronic Inducible Urticaria (CINDU) not well-managed by antihistamines can join. They must have a confirmed CINDU diagnosis for at least 4 months and meet specific test criteria showing their condition's severity.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Remibrutinib against a placebo in adults with CINDU. It's double-blind, meaning neither the patients nor doctors know who gets what treatment. After 52 weeks, there's an option to enter a long-term study phase.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of Remibrutinib are not detailed here, common ones may include reactions at the injection site, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and potential allergic responses.

Answered by AI

What is the approximate number of participants in this clinical research study?

"Affirmative. Per the particulars on clinicaltrials.gov, this research project is presently searching for participants and was first posted on December 19th 2023 with its most recent update taking place a fortnight ago. 348 patients are sought from one location."

Answered by AI

What risks are associated with the use of Remibrutinib in patients with cold urticaria?

"The safety of Remibrutinib for patients with cold urticaria was assessed a 3, as there is existing data across multiple rounds that confirm its efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

What aims are researchers attempting to accomplish with this study?

"The ambition of this 12 week trial is to observe the percentage of subjects with cholinergic urticaria whose itch numerical rating scale (NRS) scores are zero. Additional goals include ascertaining the proportion of participants who have a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score between 0 and 1, noting any modifications in Critical Temperature Thresholds among those afflicted by cold urticaria, and monitoring changes from baseline in NRS scores for individuals suffering from cholinergic urticaria."
