Brief Summary
This is a single center, non-comparative exploratory study, to investigate the effect of omalizumab over a 3-month treatment period in adult (≥18 years) patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria who had remained symptomatic despite the use of high dose H1-antihistamines.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
miRNAs in the blood differentially expressed after treatment with Xolair® in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria.
Identification of specific miRNA(s) that are novel biomarker(s) predicting response to Xolair® treatment in 20 patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria.
12 week period of Xolair® treatment
Study Arms (1)
Open-label Xolair
OTHERThe patients will receive one subcutaneous injection of omalizumab at a dose of 300 mg on Days 1, 30, and 60. There is no control drug.
Interventions
The patients will receive one subcutaneous injection of Xolair® (omalizumab) at a dose of 300 mg on Days 1, 30, and 60. This dose is based on the results of the international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study which demonstrated that omalizumab significantly decreased clinical symptoms and signs of chronic idiopathic urticaria in patients who had remained symptomatic despite the use of H1-antihistamines (Maurer et al., 2013)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- at least 6 weeks of chronic idiopathic urticaria with itching despite current use of up to x4 H1-antihistamines (Kaplan, 2004)
- an urticaria activity score (UAS) during a 7-day period (UAS7) of 16 or more (on a scale ranging from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater activity and a minimally important difference \[MID\] of 9.5 to 10.5) (Mathias et al., 2012)
- a weekly itch-severity score (ISS) of 8 or more (on a scale ranging from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more severe itching and an MID of ≥5) during the 7 days before first treatment with omalizumab.
- All females of childbearing potential must be either abstinent from sexual intercourse or using adequate contraception and must also have a negative urine pregnancy test.\*
You may not qualify if:
- a clearly defined underlying cause for chronic urticaria (e.g., physical urticaria)
- routine administration (i.e., daily or every other day for ≥5 consecutive days) of systemic glucocorticoids, hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, or intravenous immune globulin within the previous 30 days
- the use of any H2-antihistamine or leukotriene-receptor antagonist within 7 days preceding the screening visit
- a history of cancer
- a known hypersensitivity to omalizumab
- treatment with omalizumab within the previous year, or
- pregnant or nursing females\*
