New hope for chronic hives? experimental drug lesigercept enters Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT07415551
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called lesigercept in 150 adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria (hives lasting 6+ months) that aren't controlled by standard antihistamines. Participants receive either lesigercept or a placebo injection. The main goal is to see if lesigercept reduces hive activity over 12 weeks. The trial also looks at safety and how well people tolerate the drug.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- lesigercept
- What this could lead to
- If successful, lesigercept could offer a new treatment option for people with chronic hives that don't respond to standard antihistamines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 study with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not prove more effective than placebo, and side effects are still being evaluated.
