Celldex Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CLDX) has launched its global Phase 3 program for barzolvolimab in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) patients. The program includes two trials, EMBARQ-CSU1 and EMBARQ-CSU2, enrolling over 1,800 patients who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine or biologic treatments. Barzolvolimab, a novel monoclonal antibody, targets the root cause of CSU by blocking the KIT receptor, essential for mast cell function. The trials will evaluate two dosing regimens against placebo over 52 weeks, with the primary endpoint assessing reduction in urticaria activity at Week 12. This advancement follows successful Phase 2 results, where barzolvolimab demonstrated rapid, durable, and clinically meaningful responses in moderate to severe CSU patients.

Celldex Therapeutics announced the dosing of the first patient in its Phase 2 study of barzolvolimab for treating prurigo nodularis (PN). This humanized monoclonal antibody targets the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase, important for mast cell function, believed to drive chronic itch and neuroinflammation in PN. Earlier Phase 1b results showed significant clinical benefits with barzolvolimab, prompting this larger, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The trial will assess the efficacy and safety of two dosing regimens in about 120 patients over 40 weeks, aiming to evaluate itch improvement and lesion healing. The study involves 50 global centers, including the U.S.
