Prospective, multi-country, non-interventional study in patients with CSU where the treatment decision prior enrolment has been made to either escalate current sgH1-AHs treatment or escalate/switch current treatment to remibrutinib. The primary aim of this study is to gather real-world effectiveness and safety data for remibrutinib, a new treatment option, covering a broader, real-world clinical practice population.
This is a prospective, multi-country, non-interventional study in patients with CSU where the treatment decision prior enrolment has been made to either escalate current sgH1-AHs treatment or escalate/switch current treatment to remibrutinib. The primary aim of this study is to gather real-world effectiveness and safety data for remibrutinib, covering a broader, real-world clinical practice population. The study employs an umbrella design which brings the evidence needs from multiple countries under the REASSERT global program. Countries will generate local protocol to be used in their country; the local study documentation will be a minimised version of the global document, modified to align with country's evidence needs, given local disparities in treatment guidelines, access, physician type and ePROs/eDiaries used. To achieve the core objectives the observation needs to include either the Urticaria Control Test (UCT) or Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days (UAS7) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Data from all countries will be pooled and analyzed globally. In certain instances, some modifications of the global protocol may be permitted. For example, in countries where prospective monitoring of off-label antihistamines is prohibited, cohort 1 will not be enrolled.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number and proportion of participants with well-controlled disease and complete disease | Proportion of patients with UCT score ≥12 and UAS7 score ≤6. Urticaria Control Test (UCT) consists of 4 questions scored 0 (very much) to 4 (not at all), with a total score range of 0 to 16. High scores indicates better disease control.

Inclusion Criteria:
Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of primary CSU by the treating physician.
Aged at least 18 years on the date of enrolment.
Written informed consent of the patient to participate in the study (according to country specifications) and willingness to complete full follow-up period of 24 months.
Cohort-specific observational inclusion criteria:
Note: Candidate patients must not have initiated the next escalated treatment step (i.e. up dosed AH for cohort 1, or remibrutinib for cohorts 2 and 3) prior to their enrolment to ensure the baseline visit captures their clinical status before treatment escalation.
