Molecular Endotypes of Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study plans to learn more about why some people with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) respond to treatment with omalizumab (Xolair). It will test people before they receive treatment with omalizumab as part of standard of care, to see if there are differences in their blood and skin that can predict who responds to treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Responders [Week 16]
The number of participants who meet the definition of "Responder" to omalizumab. "Responders" are defined as having a UAS7 of 6 or less after 16 weeks of treatment.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Baseline expression of innate immune markers [Baseline]
Baseline expression of innate immune markers in peripheral blood between eventual responders and nonresponders to omalizumab. 5 significant markers will be reported. Results will be stratified between groups determined by the pre-specified arms and by the classification of participants as responders versus non-responders to omalizumab.
