Study Summary

This trial will study why some people with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria respond to omalizumab treatment while others do not, in hopes of better predicting who will respond to the treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who have had frequent hives for at least 6 weeks and haven't seen improvement with standard allergy pills. They should be starting treatment with omalizumab (Xolair) as part of their usual care because other treatments didn't work.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is looking into why some patients with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) get better when treated with omalizumab. It involves examining participants' blood and skin before they start taking the medication to find patterns predicting a good response.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Omalizumab can cause side effects like joint pain, dizziness, earache, hair loss, tiredness, or more serious ones such as allergic reactions including trouble breathing and swelling of the face.
