NCT ID NCT06865651

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new drug called remibrutinib (a tablet) against a placebo in 44 adults with chronic hives (either spontaneous or triggered by things like pressure or cold). The goal is to see if it reduces symptoms like itching and burning, and how it works in the body. Participants take the drug or placebo for 12 weeks, and researchers track symptom control and quality of life.

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 tablet drug)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with chronic hives that are not well controlled by current antihistamines.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not prove more effective than placebo, and side effects are still being explored.
