To Compare Efficacy and Safety of CMAB007 and Xolair® in Patients With Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, positive parallel controlled phase III clinical trial to compare efficacy, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of omalizumab α(CMAB007) and Xolair® in patients with refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria

The study will consist of three periods: a screening period (up to 2 weeks), a 12-week treatment period and a 8-week follow-up period. The total duration of the study is up to 22 weeks. After signing informed consent, subjects who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will be assigned to the CMAB007 or Xolair® in a 1:1 ratio. The subjects will treated with three doses of CMAB007 or Xolair®, subcutaneous injection every four weeks in the treatment period. After the end of the treatment period, an 8-week safety follow-up was conducted. The type and dosage of H1 antihistamines remained stable in the study.

Eligibility Criteria:

   * Diagnosis of CSU at the time of screening, urticaria history ≥ 6 months at the time of randomization
   * The presence of itch and hives for ≥ 6 consecutive weeks within half year prior to randomization despite use of H1AH treatment during this time period;

2. Suffer from other chronic pruritic dermatosis that may confound the results: atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus, psoriasis, etc.

4. Previous treatment with omalizumab within one year prior to signing the informed consent.
5. Hypersensitivity to omalizumab, study drug excipients or other biosimilars, or have a history of severe drug allergy or anaphylactic shock.
6. Use systemic or local corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, cyclosporin or cyclophosphamide, and tripterygium within 30 days prior to screening; Use compound glycyrrhizin, total glucosides of paeony and other traditional Chinese medicine within 14 days before screening; Use H2 antihistamines and leukotriene modulators within 7 days before screening; Use H1 antihistamines exceeding protocol requirements within 3 days prior to screening; Use other CSU drugs (including but not limited to biologics, small molecule drugs) within 3 months or 5 drug half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to screening.
7. Patients with a stool examination positive for ova or parasites at screening.
8. Active infections requiring treatment at screening, include but not limited to pulmonary infection, tuberculosis and acute bronchial asthma.
9. Have received live attenuated vaccine or intravenous immunoglobulin within 30 days before screening; Live attenuated vaccines are planned or received at any time during the study period.
10. History of malignancy of any organ or system within 5 years prior to screening (except for basal cell carcinoma, Cervical carcinoma in situ)
11. Evidence of cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome, NYHA Grade III/VI left ventricular failure, arrhythmias and uncontrolled hypertension within 6 months prior to screening), neurological, psychiatric, pulmonary, renal, liver, endocrine, metabolic, hematological, gastrointestinal, or immune deficiencies that the investigators believe may compromise subjects' safety or interfere study results.
12. Presence of clinically significant examination, include but not limited:

    * Abnormal liver function \[AST or ALT ≥ 2 x ULN, or total bilirubin ≥ 2 x ULN\];
    * Abnormal renal function \[elevated serum creatinine \> 1.5 x ULN\] or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 45 mL/min (using Cockcroft-Gault equation);
