Cholinergic Urticaria | Drug: LEO 152020 Drug: LEO 152020 placebo | Phase 2 |
This is a phase 2a, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial conducted in Germany at 3-6 sites. Subjects will be randomised to one of two treatment sequences (A and B). Each treatment period will last 7 days with a wash-out period of 7 days between treatments. Half of the subjects will start with treatment A followed by treatment B while the other half will start with treatment B followed by treatment A. A safety follow-up visit will be performed 3 days after last dose of the tested medication.
The main assessment is an urticaria activity score. After a Pulse-controlled ergometry (PCE) provocation test subjects will be rated on their number of wheals and their itch severity, resulting in a sum score ranging from 0 to 6 points.

Drug: LEO 152020
LEO 152020 is a small drug molecule which can bind to the histamine 4 receptor (H4R). LEO 152020 is a tablet for oral administration. Drug: LEO 152020 placebo LEO 152020 placebo is a tablet for oral administration. LEO 152020 placebo contains the same excipients in the same concentration as the LEO 152020 tablet, except the medical ingredient, LEO 152020. |

- Change from baseline in post-provocation Urticaria Activity Score [ Time Frame: After 7 days treatment period ]The Urticaria Activity Score rates a participants' number of wheals and their itch severity on a scale from 0 to 6, with 6 being the most severe.
- Number of treatment emergent adverse events per subject [ Time Frame: From treatment period start to 3 days after treatment end ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Main Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject with a history of Cholinergic urticaria diagnosis for ≥ 6 months
-
Subject has active and uncontrolled Cholinergic urticaria disease at the time of screening and randomisation, as defined by the following:
- Urticaria control test < 12 at screening
- Urticaria Activity Score post-provocation ≥ 3
- Recent history (within 6 months of screening) with documented inadequate response to standard dose as to marketing authorization of H1 antihistamines.
Main Exclusion Criteria:
-
Other clearly dominating forms* of urticaria as aetiology for wheal and flare type reactions
*These diseases are allowed as comorbidities, if cholinergic urticaria is the dominating form of chronic urticaria,
- Systemic immunosuppressive medications within 4 weeks prior to screening,
- Systemic drugs (e.g. oral drug) with antihistamine properties including H1 antihistamines and some antidepressants (e.g. tricyclic antidepressants) and H2 antihistamines 1 week prior to randomisation and throughout the trial. However, topical antihistamines in the form of nasal spray and eyedrops are allowed in the standard prescribed dose.
