$CLDXPress releaseSep 22, 2026, 6:58 AM ETRead the release

Celldex's pivotal Phase 3 EMBARQ-CSU1 and EMBARQ-CSU2 trials of barzolvolimab in chronic spontaneous urticaria met the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints at Week 12 in both dose groups, with highly statistically significant reductions in disease activity versus placebo. Complete response rates (UAS7=0) reached roughly 42-46% at 12 weeks and 45-54% at 24 weeks versus 9-18% on placebo, with benefit also demonstrated in omalizumab-refractory patients and those with severe disease or severe angioedema.
