Background: Angioedema, present in some patients with chronic idiopathic/spontaneous urticaria (CIU/CSU), may have a negative effect on patient quality of life.

Objective :To describe patient-reported angioedema and its management in the pivotal omalizumab studies(ASTERIA I, ASTERIA II, GLACIAL).

Methods: Enrolled patients with CIU/CSU remained symptomatic despite treatment with histamine1(H1)-antihistamines at licensed doses (ASTERIA I, ASTERIA II) or H1-antihistamines at up to 4 times the approveddose plus H2-antihistamines and/or a leukotriene receptor antagonist (GLACIAL). All studies administeredomalizumab (75,150, or 300 mg in ASTERIA I and ASTERIA II; 300 mg in GLACIAL) or placebo subcutaneouslyevery 4 weeks for at least 12 weeks. Urticaria Patient Daily Diary entries were completed by patients andsummarized.

Results: At baseline, angioedema prevalence was higher in GLACIAL (53.1%) than in ASTERIA I (47.5%) orASTERIA II (40.7%). The mean proportion of angioedema-free days during weeks 4 to 12 was greater forpatients treated with 300 mg of omalizumab than placebo in ASTERIA I (96.1% vs 88.2%,P<.001), ASTERIA II(95.5% vs 89.2%,P<.001), and GLACIAL (91.0% vs 88.7%,P¼.006). Most patient-reported angioedema wasmanaged by low-intensity interventions (doing nothing or taking medication).

Conclusion: Treatment with 300 mg of omalizumab was efficacious in reducing patient-reported angioe-dema. Low-intensity interventions were generally used to manage angioedema episodes.
