New drug for stubborn hives passes blood pressure check in phase 3 trial

NCT ID NCT05795153

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested a drug called remibrutinib in 144 adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria (hives lasting over 6 months) that standard antihistamines couldn't control. Participants took a 25 mg tablet twice daily for up to 12 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug affected blood pressure, using a 24-hour monitor. The study also tracked overall safety and how well the drug controlled hives.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

remibrutinib (a drug taken as a tablet twice daily)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that remibrutinib is a safe and effective option for people with chronic hives that don't respond to standard antihistamines.

What could go wrong

This is a completed Phase 3 study, but it primarily measured blood pressure changes, not long-term effectiveness or safety. The results may not apply to all patients, and side effects are still being evaluated.
