Study to Compare Efficacy Safety and Immunogenicity of ADL-018 With XOLAIR (Omalizumab) in Adults With Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria

A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, 4-Arm, Parallel-Group, Active Controlled, Phase 3 Study to Compare Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of ADL-018 150 mg and 300 mg With US-Licensed Xolair® 150 mg and 300 mg Administered Through Subcutaneous Route Every 4 Weeks in Patients With Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) Who Remained Symptomatic Despite Treatment With Approved Doses of H1 Antihistamines

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ADL-018 compared to XOLAIR in patients with Urticaria (CIU)/Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic on H1 antihistamine treatment

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Omalizumab Injection; Drug: Xolair Prefilled Syringe

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to demonstrate similar efficacy and safety of ADL-018 compared to XOLAIR administered sc at doses of 300 mg or 150 mg every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (6 treatments) in patients with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU)/Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine (H1) treatment. This study will consist of a screening period (up to 2 weeks), a 24-week treatment period consisting of a 12-week double-blind main treatment period and a 12-week double-blind transition period, which is followed by a 16-week follow-up period. The total duration of the study is up to 42 weeks.

At baseline, patients will be randomized in a 2:2:1:1 ratio to receive the first 3 treatments of ADL-018 300 mg, XOLAIR 300 mg, ADL-018 150 mg or XOLAIR 150 mg (main treatment period). At Week 12, prior to receiving their fourth dose of study medication, patients in the XOLAIR 300 mg and the XOLAIR 150 mg treatment groups will be randomized 1:1 to receive 3 additional doses of XOLAIR (at the same dose level as prior to randomization, or switch to 3 doses of ADL-018 (transition period) at the same dose level as prior to randomization. All patients in the ADL-018 groups will continue to receive ADL-018 at the same dose levels.

Change from baseline in the overall dermatology life quality index (DLQI) score at Week 12; comparisons of ADL-018 and XOLAIR treatment arms. The DLQI consists of 10 questions concerning patients' perception of the impact of skin diseases on different aspects of their health-related quality of life over the last week. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired	Change from Baseline at Week 12
