Can a Two-Drug sequence tame chronic hives?
NCT ID NCT07816328
First seen Sep 11, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing a treatment plan that uses two drugs, remibrutinib and omalizumab, in adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria whose hives and itching are not controlled by standard antihistamines. The study follows about 382 adults across multiple centers worldwide. The goal is to see whether sequencing these drugs helps people reach well-controlled disease, measured by a weekly symptom score, within 24 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- remibrutinib and omalizumab
- What this could lead to
- If the sequencing plan works, doctors could have a clearer way to bring stubborn chronic hives under control within about six months.
- What could go wrong
- The study is open-label, so participants and doctors know which drug is given, which can color how people report symptoms. Results may not hold for everyone with chronic hives, and both drugs carry their own side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female adults (age ≥18 years) at the time of signing the informed consent. 2. CSU duration for ≥2 months prior to screening (defined as the onset of CSU determined by the Investigator based on all available supporting documentation). 3. Diagnosis of CSU inadequately controlled by sgH1-AH at baseline defined as: * The presence of itch and hives for ≥6 consecutive weeks prior to screening despite the use of sgH1-AH during this time period. * UAS7 score (range: 0-42) ≥16. 4. Documentation of hives within two months prior to baseline (either at screening and/or at baseline; or documented in the participant's medical history). 5. Willing and able to complete an Urticaria Patient Daily Diary (UPDD) for the duration of the study and adhere to the study protocol. 6. Participants must not have had more than one missing UPDD entry (either morning or evening) in the 7 days prior to enrollment (Day 1). Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous use of remibrutinib, other Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors or prior exposure to biologics with any effect in CSU (e.g., ligelizumab, omalizumab, dupilumab, barzolvolimab). 2. Evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular (such as but not limited to myocardial infarction, unstable ischemic heart disease, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III/IV left ventricular failure, arrhythmia and uncontrolled hypertension within 12 months prior to Visit 1), neurological, psychiatric, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, metabolic, gastrointestinal, or hematological disorders, or immunodeficiency that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the safety of the participant, interfere with the interpretation of the study results or otherwise preclude participation or protocol adherence by the participant. 3. Significant bleeding risk or coagulation disorders. 4. History of gastrointestinal bleeding, e.g., in association with use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), that was clinically relevant (e.g., where intervention was indicated or requiring hospitalization or blood transfusion). 5. Requirement for anti-platelet medication, except for acetylsalicylic acid up to 100 mg/d or clopidogrel up to 75mg/d. The use of dual anti-platelet therapy (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid + clopidogrel) is prohibited. 6. Requirement for anticoagulant medication (for example, warfarin or Novel Oral Anti- Coagulant - NOAC). 7. History or current hepatic disease including but not limited to acute or chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis or hepatic failure or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels of more than 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) or international normalized ratio (INR) of more than 1.5 at screening. Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
