E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Epoch 1: Randomized withdrawal period To assess the efficacy of remibrutinib in CSU participants with a UAS7<16 at Week 52 in the prior core study with respect to time to first of the three events: relapse or study treatment discontinuation due to lack of efficacy or intake of strongly confounding prohibited medication up to Week 24 compared to placebo |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of remibrutinib |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
The study includes additional optional biomarker research components. Samples will be stored and analyzed depending on results of other biomarker assessments in this study, the overall study outcome, and/or other studies. Serum samples will be collected for autoantibodies assessment and the assessment of additional exploratory biomarkers, e.g., soluble FcR1. These serum samples may be used to better understand disease heterogeneity and for the identification of efficacy and/or stratification markers. Additionally, the effect of remibrutinib exposure on antibody titers may be assessed. Detailed descriptions of the assays will be included in the bioanalytical data reports. Biomarkers may also include targeted single or multiplex biomarkers panels (autoantibody, protein, peptide or metabolite biomarkers) or hypothesis-free platforms (autoantibody, protein, peptide and metabolite biomarkers). |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed. - Male and female, adult participants ≥18 years of age. - Participants who successfully completed the preceding core studies CLOU064A2301, CLOU064A2302, CLOU064A1301, CLOU064A2304 or CLOU064A2305 according to the respective protocols. - Willing and able to adhere to the study protocol and visit schedule. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Other diseases with symptoms of urticaria or angioedema, including but not limited to urticarial vasculitis, urticaria pigmentosa, erythema multiforme, mastocytosis, hereditary angioedema, or drug-induced urticaria. - Any other skin disease associated with chronic itching that might influence in the investigator’s opinion the study evaluations and results, e.g., atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus or psoriasis. - Evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular (such as but not limited to myocardial infarction, unstable ischemic heart disease, NYHA (New York heart association) Class III/IV left ventricular failure, arrhythmia and uncontrolled hypertension within 12 months prior to enrollment), neurological, psychiatric, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, metabolic, hematological disorders, gastrointestinal disease or immunodeficiency that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the safety of the participant, interfere with the interpretation of the study results or otherwise preclude participation or protocol adherence of the participant. - Significant bleeding risk or coagulation disorders. - History of gastrointestinal bleeding, e.g., in association with use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), that was clinically relevant. - Requirement for anti-platelet medication, except for acetylsalicylic acid up to 100 mg/d or clopidogrel up to 75 mg/d. The use of dual anti-platelet therapy (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid + clopidogrel) is prohibited. - Requirement for anticoagulant medication (for example, warfarin or Novel Oral Anti-Coagulants (NOACs)). - History or current hepatic disease including but not limited to acute or chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis or hepatic failure or Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)/ Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) levels of more than 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or International Normalized Ratio (INR) of more than 1.5 at the last 2 available visits of the preceding core study.
Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply. |
