View original scientific description
This is a decentralized study designed to describe the real-world effectiveness, safety, and patterns of use of dupilumab in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). This study will be conducted in the United States and will collect data available from participants' medical files, other items routinely collected during disease management in clinical practice, and patient-reported outcomes related to disease, work productivity, quality of life, and CSU-related hospitalizations. Participation in this study is the patient's own choice and is entirely voluntary. The treating physician prescribes dupilumab treatment as part of routine care, independently of the study. Once the decision to prescribe dupilumab is made by the treating physician, patients can self-screen and will be contacted by the Virtual Research Coordination Center to determine potential study eligibility. Patients will be enrolled if they provide an informed consent and meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. The duration of the study for each participant is 24 months. All patients will be followed for 24 months or until death, loss to follow-up, or withdrawal, whichever occurs first.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients aged 12 years or older at the time of informed consent/assent.
- Physician decision to treat the patient with dupilumab for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) made prior to and independently of the patient's participation in the study.
- Patient is able to understand and complete study-related questionnaires.
- Patients and/or parent/legally authorized representative provide voluntary informed consent and/or assent to participate in the study before inclusion in the study.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who have a contraindication to dupilumab according to the approved prescribing information label.
- Any condition that the treating physician or virtual Investigator believes may interfere with the patient's ability to participate in the study, such as short life expectancy, substance abuse, severe cognitive impairment, or other comorbidities that can predictably prevent the patient from completing the schedule of assessments.
- Patients currently participating in any interventional clinical trial.
- Prior use of dupilumab within 6 months of the baseline assessment. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
