Dupilumab for the Treatment of Chronic Inducible Cold Urticaria in Patients Who Remain Symptomatic Despite the Use of H1-antihistamine (LIBERTY-CINDU CUrIADS)

Completed · Phase 3 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Cold Urticaria

In brief

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab in adult and adolescent participants with primary acquired chronic inducible cold urticaria (ColdU) who remain symptomatic despite the use of an H1-antihistamine Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on primary acquired chronic inducible ColdU disease control To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on primary acquired chronic inducible ColdU local signs and symptoms (hives/wheals, itch, burning sensation and pain) after provocation test To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on primary acquired chronic inducible ColdU disease activity To demonstrate improvement in health-related quality-of-life and overall disease status and severity To evaluate the ability of dupilumab in reducing the proportion of participants who require rescue therapy To evaluate the proportion of participants with cold exposure triggered urticaria To evaluate safety outcome measures To evaluate immunogenicity of dupilumab

Participant had to be ≥12 years to 80 years of age inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent
Participants who had a diagnosis of primary acquired chronic inducible ColdU defined as recurrence of itchy wheals and/or angioedema due to cold for longer than 6 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit 1)
Participants with positive ice cube provocation test, ie, presenting at least a confluent hive/wheal on the exposed skin area, at the screening visit (Visit 1) and randomization visit (Visit 2)
Participants meeting at least 1 of the following criteria despite regular/daily or as needed use of H1-antihistamine (AH):

You may not qualify if…

Participants were excluded from the study if any of the following criteria applied:
Clearly defined underlying etiology for urticaria other than primary acquired chronic inducible ColdU
Presence of skin morbidities other than cold urticaria that may interfere with the assessment of the study outcomes
Active atopic dermatitis
Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the investigator's judgment, would have adversely affected the patient's participation in the study
Active tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, or a history of incompletely treated tuberculosis unless documented adequately treated.
Diagnosed active endoparasitic infections; suspected or high risk of endoparasitic infection
Active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the screening visit and during the screening period
Known or suspected immunodeficiency
Active malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years before the baseline visit, except completely treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix, completely treated and resolved non-metastatic squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
History of systemic hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to any other biologic therapy or any of its excipients.
Participation in prior dupilumab clinical study, or have been treated with commercially available dupilumab.
