A Study Of Urinary Mast Cell Mediators As Biomarkers Of Treatment Response In Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between changes in urinary mast cell mediator levels and changes in clinical disease activity in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria, as measured by urticaria assessment instruments (UAS-7 and UCT scores) from baseline to 8 weeks following therapy initiation.
