Early control or gradual relief? Gender-specific real-world insights into omalizumab response in chronic spontaneous urticaria patients
Although long-term response to omalizumab is comparable between sexes, male CSU patients demonstrate faster and more consistent clinical improvement. The greater variability in female patients may be linked to immunological or hormonal cofactors. Future studies should consider menopausal status and immune profiles to identify response-modifying subgroups and support personalized treatment strategies in CSU.
