Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Observed Values and Absolute Change From Baseline in FceRI Positive Skin Cells: Dermis, Lesional and Non Lesional Skin
Baseline through Day 85 post-treatment

Observed values and absolute change in FcεRI positive skin cells: dermis non-lesional and lesional. The primary variable for this study was the relative change from baseline in the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) positive skin cells, based on skin biopsies collected from patients with CIU after 12 weeks of treatment.The values are average of cell numbers derived from counting 5 consecutive microscopic fields. Area counted is 5x 0.196 mm2

Frequently asked questions about IGE025

What is IGE025 used for?

IGE025 is an investigational small molecule being developed for chronic idiopathic urticaria, a condition characterized by recurrent hives without an identifiable cause. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who is developing IGE025?

IGE025 is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for chronic idiopathic urticaria.

What phase is IGE025 in?

IGE025 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not yet received regulatory approval. A Phase 2 clinical trial for the drug has been completed, and it remains under evaluation for chronic idiopathic urticaria.

What clinical trials has IGE025 been in?

IGE025 has been studied in one completed Phase 2 clinical trial, identified as NCT01599637. This trial enrolled 40 participants with chronic idiopathic urticaria who had not responded to antihistamine treatment. The study was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and was conducted in Germany.

Is IGE025 the same as omalizumab?

IGE025 is not the same as omalizumab. Omalizumab is a biologic antibody, while IGE025 is a small molecule. The completed clinical trial NCT01599637 was a mode of action study of omalizumab in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria, and IGE025 is a separate investigational drug.
