| E.5 End points |
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1 - Change from baseline in weekly itch severity score (except EU and EU reference countries) ; Change from baseline in weekly itch severity score (ISS7) at Week 24
2 - For EU and EU reference countries only: change from baseline in weekly urticaria activity score ; Change from baseline in weekly urticaria activity score (UAS7, composite patient reported itch and hive score) at Week 24 |
|
| E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
| 1, 2 - Baseline to Week 24 |
|
| E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1 - Change from baseline in weekly urticaria activity score (UAS7, composite patient reported itch and hive score) at Week 12 and Week 24 (except EU and EU reference countries)
2 - Change from baseline in ISS7 at Week 12 and Week 24 (in EU and EU reference countries)
3 - Time to ISS7 minimally important (MID) (ISS7 ≥5) response ; The itch severity score will be recorded daily in the patient eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe).The weekly itch score is the sum of the daily itch scores over 7 days
4 - Proportion of ISS7 MID (≥5 points) responders at Week 12 and Week 24 ; The itch severity score will be recorded daily in the patient eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe).The weekly itch score is the sum of the daily itch scores over 7 days.
5 - Change from baseline in ISS7 at all time points (onset of action is assessed by the first p<0.05 that remains significant at subsequent measures until Week 24 ; The itch severity score will be recorded daily in the patient eDiary, on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe).The weekly itch score is the sum of the daily itch scores over 7 days
6 - Change from baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 ; The UAS is a composite eDiary-recorded score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0-3 (0=none to 3=intense/severe) for 1) the number of wheals (hives); and 2) the intensity of the itch measured daily. UAS7 is the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days.
7 - 8 - Proportion of patients with UAS7 ≤6 at Week 12 and Week 24 / Proportion of patients with UAS7=0 at Week 12 and Week 24 ; The UAS is a composite eDiary-recorded score with numeric severity intensity ratings on a scale of 0-3 (0=none to 3=intense/severe) for 1) the number of wheals (hives); and 2) the intensity of the itch measured daily. UAS7 is the sum of the daily UAS scores over 7 days.
9 - Change from baseline in angioedema activity score over 7 days (AAS7) at Week 12 and Week 24 ; Angioedema activity score (AAS) is recorded once daily in the Diary by the participants. This validated tool assesses episodes of angioedema including their duration, severity and impact on daily functioning and appearance.
10 - Change from baseline in urticaria control test (UCT) at Week 12 and Week 24 ; The urticarial control test (UCT) is instrument that works in all types of chronic urticaria (not only for CSU), and it can also be used in urticaria patients suffering from recurrent angioedema.otal score ranges 0 to 16; higher scores indicate better disease control.
11 - Proportion of well controlled patients (UCT ≥12) at Week 12 and Week 24 ; The urticarial control test (UCT) is instrument that works in all types of chronic urticaria (not only for CSU), and it can also be used in urticaria patients suffering from recurrent angioedema.otal score ranges 0 to 16; higher scores indicate better disease control. Scores ≥12 are consistent with well-controlled disease.
12 - Change from baseline in health-related quality-of-life ; Change from baseline in health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) as measured by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in patients ≥16 years old, and in Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) in patients ≥6 - <16 years old at Week 12 and Week 24
13 - Change from baseline in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) of CSU at Week 12 and Week 24; The Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGISā¦) is a one-item questionnaire that asks participants to provide the overall self-assessment of their participant’ disease severity on a 4-point scale for the past week.
14 - Patient Global Assessment of Change (PGIC) of CSU at Week 12 and Week 24; The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a one-item questionnaire that asks the participant to provide the overall self-assessment of change in their CSU on a 7-point scale, compared to just before participant started taking the study treatment
15 - Proportion and time to event of patients receiving OCS for CSU during the planned treatment period ;
16 - Safety; Percentage of participants experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) or serious adverse events (SAEs)
