Summary

This trial tests a drug called briquilimab for adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) — long-lasting hives and itching that don't get better with standard antihistamines or omalizumab. The study has three parts, with some participants getting the drug and others a placebo. Researchers are checking safety, how the drug works in the body, and whether it reduces hives and itching.

What this could mean

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with chronic hives that don't improve with current antihistamines or omalizumab.

What could go wrong
