Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Complete response to provocation testing at Week 12
From Day 1 (first dose) to Week 12

Proportion of Cold Induced Urticaria \[ColdU\] participants with complete response in Critical Temperature Threshold (CTT) or proportion of Symptomatic Dermographism \[SD\] participants with complete response in Critical Friction Threshold at Week 12. * For ColdU patients, a complete response is defined as absence of wheals at the provocation site within 10 min at ≤ 4°C after provocation using TempTest® * For SD patients, a complete response test is defined as absence of wheals at the provocation site within 10 min at 0 pins after provocation using the FricTest®

Time to disease worsening or treatment failure through Week 52 based on the occurrence of UAS7 (Urticaria Activity Score) of 16 or greater.
From Day 1 (baseline) to Week 52.

The UAS7 is a simple scoring system to evaluate urticaria signs and symptoms. It is based on scoring wheals (hive severity score) and itch (itch severity score) separately on a scale of 0 (no signs/symptoms) to 3 (intense signs/symptoms) over 7 days. The final score is calculated by adding together the daily scores, which can range from 0 to 6, for 7 days. This results in a maximum total score of 42, and a minimum possible score of 0.

Time to disease worsening or treatment failure through Week 52 based on the occurrence of the discontinuation of barzolvolimab in Group 2 due to lack of efficacy or to a treatment related adverse event.
From Day 1 (baseline) to Week 52.

Evaluate duration of efficacy of barzolvolimab on urticaria activity or to a treatment related adverse event.

Time to disease worsening or treatment failure through Week 52 based on the occurrence of first use of strongly confounding prohibited medication (Group 1 or 2) or use of barzolvolimab in Group 1.
From Day 1 (baseline) to Week 52.

Evaluate duration of efficacy of barzolvolimab on urticaria activity leading to initiation of either a confounding prohibited medication (Group 1 or 2) or barzolvolimab in Group 1.

Mean change from baseline to Week 12 of UAS7 (Urticaria Activity Score)
From Day 1 (first dose) to Day 85 (Week 12)

Evaluate efficacy of barzolvolimab on urticaria activity as measured by urticaria activity score (UAS). The UAS7 is a simple scoring system to evaluate urticaria signs and symptoms. It is based on scoring wheals (hive severity score) and itch (itch severity score) separately on a scale of 0 (no signs/symptoms) to 3 (intense signs/symptoms) over 7 days. The final score is calculated by adding together the daily scores, which can range from 0 to 6, for 7 days. This results in a maximum total score of 42, and a minimum possible score of 0.

Percent change from Baseline in the weekly average of the daily Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) score at Week 16
From Day 1 (first dose) to Day 113 (week 16)

Evaluate the clinical efficacy of 2 dose levels (150 mg and 300 mg) of barzolvolimab, compared to placebo, in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) using the PP-NRS. The PP-NRS ranges from 0 = "no itch" to 10 ="worst imaginable itch" for the worst intensity itch in the preceding 24-hr period.

Proportion of participants with improvement in Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) by ≥ 4 from baseline to Week 12.
From Day 1 (first dose) to Day 85 (week 12)

WI-NRS is a validated measure of itch severity. Participants are asked daily to rate the intensity of their worst pruritis (itch) over the past 24 hours using an 11-point scale ranging from 0= no itch to 10= worst imaginable itch. Higher scores indicate more severity.

Absolute change from baseline to Week 12 in peak intraepithelial mast cell (PMC) count (PMC/hpf).
From baseline to Visit 6 (Week 12)

Peak esophageal intraepithelial mast cell counts will be determined by counting mast cells in the most inflamed high-power field (hpf) of each of the 3 esophageal (proximal, mid, distal) levels and reported as mast cells/hpf.

Percentage of patients with a negative provocation test at week 12
From baseline to week 12

Percentage of patients with a negative provocation test for Cold Inducible Urticaria \[ColdU\] or Symptomatic Dermographism \[SD\]) at week 12 * For ColdU patients, a negative provocation test is defined as absence of wheals at the provocation site within 10 min at ≤ 4°C after provocation using TempTest® * For SD patients, a negative provocation test is defined as absence of wheals at the provocation site within 10 min at 0 pins after provocation using the FricTest®

Secondary Endpoints

Complete response to provocation testing at Week 24 for Cold Induced Urticaria participants
From Day 1 (first dose) to Week 24
Complete response to provocation testing at Week 24 for Symptomatic Dermographism
From Day 1 (first dose) to Week 24
