Outcome measures
Primary outcome
To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of LOU064 in patients with CSU
who have participated in preceding studies with LOU064.
Secondary outcome
To evaluate the long-term efficacy of LOU064 in patients with CSU who have
participated in previous studies with LOU064 with respect to maintaining or
achieving controlled disease (defined by a UAS7*6) over time.
To evaluate the long-term efficacy of LOU064 in patients with CSU who have
participated in preceding studies with LOU064 with respect to change from
baseline in UAS7 over time
To evaluate the efficacy of LOU064 when given without H1-antihistamines in
patients with CSU with respect to change from baseline in UAS7, achieving
controlled disease (defined by a UAS7*6), and achieving complete response
(defined by a UAS7=0) at Week 4 of treatment
Background summary
Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) is defined as the spontaneous occurrence of
itchy wheals (hives), angioedema or both lasting for at least 6 weeks. CSU can
be debilitating and is associated with intense itching and has a major impact
on patient*s well-being.
Second generation H1-antihistamines are recommended as first line treatment for
subjects with CSU but less than 40% of these subjects respond adequately. While
uptitration of second generation antihistamines is recommended by most CSU
treatment guidelines as second line therapy (Zuberbier et al 2018), the
efficacy of uptitrated H1-antihistamines in CSU has not been studied in larger
clinical studies and hence uptitration is considered off-label. Omalizumab is a
highly effective third line therapy for CSU subjects. However, less than 50% of
subjects treated with Omalizumab reach a complete control of signs and symptoms
of CSU (Kaplan et al 2016). Therefore, there is a high medical need for new
treatment options for CSU subjects.
Bruton*s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase and member of
the TEC kinase family. BTK is expressed in selected cells of the adaptive and
innate immune system including B cells, macrophages, mast cells/basophils and
thrombocytes.
Recently, it has been demonstrated that inhibition of BTK leads to inhibition
of mast cell and basophil activation/degranulation in vitro and to reduced
wheal sizes in skin prick tests with patients suffering from IgE-mediated
allergies (Smiljkovic et al 2017; Regan et al 2017; Dispenza et al 2018). Thus,
BTK inhibition is a promising therapeutic concept for the treatment of chronic
urticaria.
Study objective
To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of LOU064 in patients with CSU
who have participated in preceding studies with LOU064.
Study design
This study is an open-label, single arm, multicenter, extension study for CSU
patients rolling-over from CLOU064A2201. It consists of three periods:
* Observational period: Subjects rolling over from CLOU064A2201 with UAS7<16
after the follow-up period at Week 16 will be further followed up without
receiving LOU064 for up to 12 weeks. After relapse (UAS7*16 at least once), the
observational period can be terminated immediately at any time during these 12
weeks and subjects may enter the treatment period. Subjects who have never
relapsed within 12 weeks will discontinue the study after the observational
period.
* Treatment period: Subjects will be treated with 100 mg LOU064 bid for 52
weeks. Until Week 4 of treatment, no background medication with
H1-antihistamines is permitted. After Week 4, subjects may start a background
therapy with H1-antihistamines if deemed necessary by the investigator.
* Follow-up period: Treatment-free follow-up period following the treatment
period. The minimum duration of treatment-free follow-up is 4 weeks for all
subjects who stop treatment with LOU064 (either after completing the treatment
period or after an early discontinuation of study treatment). Subjects who have
a UAS7*6 at Week 52 of the treatment period will extend their follow-up period
until relapse (UAS7*16) for up to a total of 16 weeks.
Intervention
LOU064 capsules 50 mg
Study burden and risks
Based on a thorough review of safety information currently available in the
literature together with an assessment of safety data obtained from both
clinical and preclinical experience with LOU064, the following safety topics
are considered as potential risks for LOU064 and require close monitoring in
the proposed study: infections, impaired platelet function, myomodulation, risk
of cardiovascular origin, drug-drug interactions and reproductive toxicity. For
details see section 4.3 of the protocol.
Patients should visit the hospital more frequently, visits take longer than
usual.Additional procedures are blood draws, completion of diary, ECG,
completoin of questionnaires, urinalysis, PK sampling. See for details protocol
table 8.1 (assesment schedule).

Inclusion criteria
- Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed.
- Willing and able to complete a daily symptom eDiary for the duration of the
study and adhere to the study visit schedules.
- Subjects rolling over from CLOU064A2201 must have completed the Week 12 visit
(end of treatment period) or the Week 16 visit (end of the follow-up period)
and will be allocated to the treatment period or the observational period of
CLOU064A2201E1 based on the UAS7 score (of the 7 days prior to the respective
visit) as follows:
a) Subjects rolling over at Week 12 of CLOU064A2201 with a UAS7*16 will be
allocated to the Treatment period (note: subjects with UAS7<16 at Week 12 are
not eligible to rollover into CLOU064A2201E1 but need to enter the follow-up
period of CLOU064A2201).
b) Subjects rolling over at Week 16 of CLOU064A2201 with a UAS7*16 will be
allocated to the Treatment period.
c) Subjects rolling over at Week 16 of CLOU064A2201 with a UAS7<16 will be
allocated to the Observational period.
- Rollover criteria for subjects with CSU from other, not-yet specified studies
with LOU064 will be detailed in the protocols of these studies.
