Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    6. Females of childbearing potential (FOCBP) and male patients with a female partner of childbearing potential must be willing to take reliable contraceptive precautions throughout the study (until Week 32).
    If an FOCBP, patient should have a negative pregnancy test result at Screening and Baseline visits
    Must be willing to comply with precautions to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection in accordance with recommendations from the applicable medical associations and the investigator for the duration of the study and to undergo COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test as required based on the investigator judgment and/or local requirements.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Patients meeting any of the following criteria at screening or baseline are ineligible to participate in this study:
    1. Known hypersensitivity to omalizumab, study treatment excipients, or components of injecting devices.

    3. Previous exposure to ligelizumab or any IgE antagonists.
    4. Having a clearly defined cause of their chronic urticaria, other than CSU. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: symptomatic dermographism (urticaria factitia), cold-, heat-, solar-, pressure-, delayed pressure-, aquagenic-, cholinergic-, or contact-urticaria.
    5. Conditions that may have urticarial or angioedema symptoms (eg, urticaria pigmentosa, urticarial vasculitis, hereditary or acquired angioedema, erythema multiforme, mastocytosis, lymphoma).
    6. Has the evidence of helminthic parasitic infection as evidenced by stools being positive for a pathogenic organism according to local guidelines.

    9. Any current active infection requiring treatment.
    10. Body temperature of 37.5 °C or above at screening or baseline visits, and/or signs or symptoms that in the opinion of the investigator may be suggestive of COVID-19 infection.
