Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Confirmed CINDU diagnosis (as per guidelines) for symptomatic dermographism, cold
urticaria or cholinergic urticaria for = 4 months.

- Diagnosis of CINDU (symptomatic dermographism, cold urticaria or cholinergic
urticaria) inadequately controlled with H1-AH at local label approved doses at
the time of randomization, as defined by all of the following:

- Positive response (i.e development of symptoms) to triggers despite treatment
with H1-AH

- Positive response (i.e. development of symptoms) to provocation test on day of
randomization

- Participants must be able to physically perform the protocol defined provocation
test specific to the participant's CINDU.

- Cholinergic urticaria participants must show sweating in performing the
pulse-controlled ergometry test on day of randomization. Participants with
anhidrosis must not be included.

- Willing and able to complete a daily symptom eDiary as per protocol requirement
and adhere to the study visit schedules
Minimum age
12 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or its components or to drugs of
similar chemical classes or to the provocation test or items used in provocation tests

- Participants who have concomitant CSU at screening

- Participants who have a familial form of the target CINDU that is being
considered for the participant's inclusion in this study

- Participants having a more defined other form of inducible urticaria than the
target CINDU that is being considered for the participant's inclusion in this
study

- Diseases, other than chronic inducible urticaria, with urticarial or angioedema
symptoms such as urticarial vasculitis, erythema multiforme, cutaneous
mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa) and hereditary or acquired angioedema (eg,
due to C1 inhibitor deficiency).

- Any other skin disease associated with chronic itching that might influence, in
the investigator's opinion, the study evaluations and results (eg, atopic
dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus, etc.)
or skin diseases associated with only wheals and no itch e.g asymptomatic
dermographism

- Prior exposure to ligelizumab, omalizumab and or other anti-IgE therapies
