The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network is recruiting patients to an international dose-finding study of QGE031 as add-on therapy to evaluate efficacy and safety in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.

The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including urticaria. These applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.
