ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Change From Baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation) of Adult SubjectsBaseline, Week 12
The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. Possible range of weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is UAS7 = 0. Hives Severity Score (HSS) scale is 0 to 3. A weekly score (HSS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. Possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Hives Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (1-6 hives/12 hours) 2 - Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3 - Severe (\>12 hives/12 hours). Itch Severity Score (ISS) scale is 0 to 3. Score (ISS7) is derived by adding up average daily scores of 7 days preceding visit. Possible range of weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate). Negative change from baseline indicates improvement
PrimaryMean Change From Baseline in UAS7 at Week 12 (Observed Data) of Adolescent Subjects (FAS)Baseline, Week 12
The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. Possible range of weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is UAS7 = 0. Hives Severity Score (HSS) scale is 0 to 3. A weekly score (HSS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. Possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Hives Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (1-6 hives/12 hours) 2 - Moderate (7-12 hives/12 hours) 3 - Severe (\>12 hives/12 hours). Itch Severity Score (ISS) scale is 0 to 3. Score (ISS7) is derived by adding up average daily scores of 7 days preceding visit. Possible range of weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate). Negative change from baseline indicates improvement
SecondaryNumber and Percentage of Subjects With UAS7=0 Response at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation - Adults, Observed Data for Adolescents)Week 12
The Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) is the sum of the Hive Severity Score (HSS) and the Itch Severity Score (ISS). UAS7 is the sum of the HSS7 and the ISS7 scores. The possible range of the weekly UAS7 score is 0 to 42. Complete UAS7 response is defined as UAS7 = 0. Data is presented as percentage of patients with a UAS7=0 score. No Statistical analysis was planned for adolescent group.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in ISS7 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation) of Adult Subjects (FAS)Baseline, Week 12
Improvement of severity of itch assessed as absolute change from baseline in ISS7 score at Week 12 Itch Severity Score (ISS) is on a scale of 0 to 3. A weekly score (ISS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. The possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate) Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in ISS7 at Week 12 (Observed Data) of Adolescent Subjects, (FAS)Baseline, Week 12
Improvement of severity of itch assessed as absolute change from baseline in ISS7 score at Week 12 Itch Severity Score (ISS) is on a scale of 0 to 3. A weekly score (ISS7) is derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit. The possible range of the weekly score is therefore 0 to 21. Itch Severity Score scale: 0 - None 1 - Mild (minimal awareness, easily tolerated) 2 - Moderate (definite awareness, bothersome but tolerable) 3 - Severe (difficult to tolerate) Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.. No Statistical Analysis was planned for adolescent population.
SecondaryNumber and Percentage of Participants With DLQI Score of 0 - 1 at Week 12 (Multiple Imputation - Adults, Observed Data for Adolescents)Week 12
Assessed as percentage of subjects achieving DLQI = 0-1, which means No impact on subjects quality of life at Week 12 The Dermatology life Quality Index (DLQI) score range is 0 to 30, with 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life). Data is presented as percentage of patients with a DLQI=0 score. No statistical analysis was planned for adolescent group.
SecondaryCumulative Number of Weeks of AAS7=0 up to Week 12 (Multiple Imputation) of Adult Subjects (FAS)Baseline, Week 12
Cumulative number of weeks that subjects achieve AAS7 = 0 responses between baseline and Week 12 Angioedema Activity Score (AAS7) is a measure of the frequency and intensity of angioedema episodes. The total possible range of scores over 7 days is 0-15 (mean day sum score) where higher scores indicate increased angioedema activity.
SecondaryCumulative Number of Weeks of AAS7=0 up to Week 12 (Observed Data) of Adolescent Subjects (FAS)Baseline, Week 12
Cumulative number of weeks that subjects achieve AAS7 = 0 responses between baseline and Week 12 Angioedema Activity Score (AAS7) is a measure of the frequency and intensity of angioedema episodes. The total possible range of scores over 7 days is 0-15 (mean day sum score) where higher scores indicate increased angioedema activity. No Statistical Analysis was planned.
