Study Summary

This trial will assess the effects of a drug on blood pressure over 4 weeks, using a technique called ABPM recommended by the FDA.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) not well-controlled by antihistamines can join. They must have had itchy hives for at least 6 weeks despite treatment, and a certain severity score on their symptoms diary. People with specific triggers for their hives or past hypertension, those who've used BTK inhibitors like remibrutinib, or are sensitive to the study drug can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing LOU064 (Remibrutinib), focusing on its effect on blood pressure in CSU patients inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines. It aims to ensure that the drug doesn't raise average systolic blood pressure by more than 3mmHg after four weeks of treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, participants will be closely monitored for any increase in blood pressure as this is a known concern with some treatments for chronic conditions.
