Chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) encompasses various chronic urticaria subtypes caused by specific triggers. CIndU seems to be more resistant than chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) to standard doses of antihistamines, although claims data analysis reveals positive uptake trends among the more-recent second-generation antihistamines Clarinex and Claritin. Vistaril and montelukast are also key drugs in the CIndU therapy market and are often used in combination therapy. Indeed, current treatment guidelines recommend the use of leukotriene receptor antagonists (e.g., montelukast) as add-on treatment. Although no biologics have been approved for CIndU, we observe off-label use of certain biologics (e.g., TNF inhibitors, Roche / Novartis’s Xolair, Sanofi / Regeneron’s Dupixent) for this indication, mainly as later-line therapy. Thus, there is a market for more-effective drugs targeting CIndU.
