Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) Market Access and Reimbursement Insights

Thelansis’s “Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) Market Access and Reimbursement Insights Report – 2025″ provides comprehensive payer insights on the current and evolving market access and reimbursement environments for branded and emerging drugs in the indication. Our team understands the criticality of payer research and insights generation, as well as their importance during drug development, pre-market launch strategy, and post-marketing activities.

Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) Overview

Chronic spontaneous urticaria, also known as chronic idiopathic urticaria, is defined as the presence of wheals, as well as possibly associated angioedema, for six weeks or longer in the absence of known triggering factors. The condition is known to last for a period of time, averaging five years, but can last longer in severe cases, especially if accompanied by angioedema. In addition, a great level of disability, reduced productivity, as well as an increased risk of psychological co-morbidities, is observed in these patients, who are also known to have a worse quality of life compared to the general population. Urticaria is divided into two categories, acute and chronic, based on the presence of symptoms for a period exceeding six weeks; however, CSU is distinguished from other forms by its spontaneous nature and its ability to co-occur with chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) in an individual patient.
