Novartis today announced top-line results from PEARL 1 and PEARL 2 Phase III studies in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), which showed that the studies met their primary endpoints of superiority for ligelizumab versus placebo at Week 12, but not versus omalizumab1.

ICD-10-CM Code for Idiopathic urticaria L50. 1.
Idiopathic urticaria is the medical term for hives that seem to have no direct cause. Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is when the hives you've been dealing with have no known cause and last for 6 weeks or more. It's also called chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).
Chronic hives are itchy, raised, red bumps or welts that appear on your skin at least twice per week. These welts, also called wheals, are chronic when they last more than six weeks. You may hear this condition called chronic idiopathic urticaria: Chronic: A symptom or condition that persists even with treatment.
Chronic idiopathic urticaria isn't an allergy and isn't contagious. It's probably caused by a combination of factors. These may include environmental irritants, your immune system, and genetics. It can also be a response to a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection.
INTRODUCTION Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), also called chronic idiopathic urticaria, is defined by the presence of urticaria (hives) on most days of the week, for a duration of six weeks or longer [1]. Associated angioedema occurs in about 40 percent of patients.
It is well-recognized that 30-40% of chronic idiopathic urticaria is autoimmune in nature.
Autoimmunity is thought to be one of the most frequent causes of chronic urticaria. Various autoimmune or endocrine diseases have been associated with urticaria, including systemic lupus erythematosus, cryoglobulinemia, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune thyroid disease (eg, Graves disease).
Chronic urticaria (CU) is a disease characterized by the appearance of weals, angioedema or both in which mast cells have a central role [1].
Your doctor takes some of your blood and sends it to a lab to look for illnesses or infections. Biopsy. Your doctor removes a small piece of your skin to look at under a microscope. This is to see if an inflammation of the blood vessels, called vasculitis, may be the cause of your hives.
One percent or less of people have it. It's most common in people between the ages of 20 and 40.
Autoimmune disease The most common autoimmune conditions seen with hives include thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and Type 1 diabetes. You can also experience hives if you have lupus, vasculitis, and liver diseases. If you have an autoimmune condition, you usually have other symptoms in addition to hives.
Currently, antihistamines, which generally work by alleviating the symptoms rather than enacting a cure, are the standard treatment for CIU.
The ICD code L50 is used to code Urticaria. Urticaria (from the Latin urtica, "nettle" from urere, "to burn"), commonly referred to as hives, is a kind of skin rash notable for pale red, raised, itchy bumps. Hives may cause a burning or stinging sensation.
They are frequently caused by allergic reactions; however, there are many nonallergic causes. Most cases of hives lasting less than six weeks (acute urticaria) are the result of an allergic trigger. Chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than six weeks) is rarely due to an allergy. Specialty:
