What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) is a group of skin disorders defined by recurrent itchy or burning wheals or angioedema that recur for more than six weeks with a specific triggering factor. This is different from chronic spontaneous urticaria which does not have a specific triggering factor. CIndU is subclassified in nine subtypes with each having its own specific trigger. These subtypes are further divided in physical urticarias (symptomatic dermographism, cold urticaria, delayed pressure urticaria, solar urticaria, heat urticaria, vibratory angioedema) or non-physical urticarias, i.e., cholinergic urticaria, aquagenic urticaria, and contact urticaria. Symptomatic dermographism (SD) is the most prevalent subtype of the physical urticarias. Its prevalence in Western populations is estimated to be between 1-5%. Following SD, cold urticaria (ColdU) is the next most common form, its an

Eligible patients: * Male and female subjects aged ≥18 years * Diagnosis of SD, ColdU or CSU (moderate to severe according to international guidelines (Zuberbier et al, 2022)) for ≥3 months and symptomatic disease despite treatment with H1 antihistamines (up to fourfold the approved dose). * Patients currently on an antihistamine (up to fourfold the approved dose) must be on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to day 1 and must maintain the same stable dose throughout the treatment period. Patients are according to the stepped care model eligible to start treatment with omalizumab * Willing to give written informed consent and willing and able to comply with the study protocol. * Positive provocation test: 1. For ColdU patients: developing a wheal at the test site within 10 min after using TempTest® at any temperature at both screening and Baseline. Alternatively, patients with a negative TempTest® may also be included if they have a positive ice cube test; 2. For SD patients: developing a wheal at the test site within 10 min after using FricTest® with ≥ 3mm at both screening and Baseline. * For CSU patients: negative TempTest® and FricTest® at screening * Participant is willing to refrain from extensively washing (including bathing, swimming, showering and excessive sweating) the skin 12 hours prior to Day 1 and EOS. * Female participants of reproductive potential must agree to use contraception from screening until EOS. Exclusion Criteria: * Significant, uncontrolled or unstable disease in any organ system as per judgment of the investigator (regardless of association with the immunosuppressing disorder/therapy), including but not limited to: psychiatric, neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, hematologic or respiratory disease. * History of immunological abnormality (e.g., immune suppression) that may interfere with study objectives, in the opinion of the investigator. * Loss or donation of blood over 500 mL within three months prior to screening. * Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), hepatitis C antibody (HCV ab), or human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIB ab) at screening * Known infection requiring (topical or oral) antibiotic therapy within 56 days prior to Day 1. * The use of systemic antibiotic therapy for \>2 months the past 12 months. * The use of any oral/systemic medication (e.g. immunomodulatory, immunosuppressive) within 28 days prior to Day 1, if the investigator judges that it may interfere with the study objectives. * Treatment with omalizumab within 5 half lives (120 days) prior to Day 1 * Pregnant, a positive pregnancy test, intending to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. * Have any current and/or recurrent clinically significant or subject reported skin condition other than the CInDU/CSU wherefore subject is included in the study. * Evidence of current drug or alcohol abuse. * History of regular alcohol consumption within 12 months of the trial defined as an average weekly intake of \>21 alcoholic drinks/week for men or \>14 alcoholic drinks/week for women (i.e., 1 drink is equivalent to 150 mL of wine or 360 mL of beer or 45 mL of hard liquor) Healthy volunteers \- Participation in an investigational drug study within 3 months prior to screening or more than 4 times a year. Eligible patients * For CIndU patients: active CSU or other forms of CIndU besides ColdU or SD that may interfere with study assessments. For CSU patients: presence of active CIndU disease that may interfere with study assessments. * Urticarial or angioedema symptoms such as urticarial vasculitis, erythema multiforme, cutaneous mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa) and hereditary or acquired angioedema (eg, due to C1 inhibitor deficiency). * Active, pruritic skin condition in addition to CIndU (CIndU patients) or CSU (CSU patients). * Routine doses of the following medications within 30 days prior to Day 1: Systemic or cutaneous (topical) corticosteroids (prescription or over the counter), hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, or cyclophosphamide. * Intravenous (IV) immunoglobulin G (IVIG), or plasmapheresis within 30 days prior to screening. * Regular (daily/every other day) doxepin (oral) use within 6 weeks prior to Day 1. * Any H2 antihistamine use within 7 days prior to Day 1. * Any leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) (montelukast or zafirlukast) within 7 days prior to Day 1. * Patients with current malignancy, history of malignancy, or currently under work-up for suspected malignancy except non-melanoma skin cancer that has been treated or excised and is considered resolved. * Hypersensitivity to omalizumab or any component of the formulation. * History of anaphylactic shock. * Evidence of parasitic infection.
