Can your own blood cure your hives? new trial investigates
NCT ID NCT07486583
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether injecting a patient's own blood (autologous whole blood therapy) can help control chronic hives that don't respond to high-dose antihistamines. 40 adults with chronic idiopathic urticaria will receive either the blood injections plus antihistamines or antihistamines alone for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if the blood therapy reduces hive activity scores.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous whole blood therapy (injections of the patient's own blood) plus desloratadine (antihistamine)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with chronic hives that don't respond to standard antihistamines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 people. The treatment is experimental and may not work better than antihistamines alone. There is also a risk of injection site reactions or infection.
