24 Weeks Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial to Evaluate Efficacy, PK, Safety of LOU064 in Adolescents (12 - <18) With CSU and Inadequate Response to H1-antihistamine Followed by Optional 3 Years Open-label Extension and an Optional 3 Years Safety Long-term Treatment-free Follow-up

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Diagnosis of CSU inadequately controlled by second-generation H1-AH at the time of randomization defined as:
The presence of itch and hives for ≥ 6 consecutive weeks prior to screening despite the use of second-generation H1-AH during this time period according to local treatment guidelines
UAS7 score (range 0 - 42) >= 16, ISS7 score (range 0 - 21) >= 6 and HSS7 score (range 0 - 21) >= 6 during the 7 days prior to randomization (Day 1)
Documentation of hives within three months before randomization (either at screening and/or at randomization; or documented in the participants' medical history)

Key Exclusion criteria:

Previous use of remibrutinib or other BTK inhibitors
Significant bleeding risk or coagulation disorders
History of gastrointestinal bleeding
Requirement for anti-platelet medication, except for acetylsalicylic acid up to 100 mg/d or clopidogrel up to 75 mg/d. The use of dual anti-platelet therapy (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid + clopidogrel) is prohibited
History or current hepatic disease
Evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, metabolic, hematological disorders, gastrointestinal disease or immunodeficiency that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the safety of the participant, interfere with the interpretation of the study results or otherwise preclude participation or protocol adherence of the participant
History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or its excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes
Participants having a clearly defined predominant or sole trigger of their chronic urticaria (chronic inducible urticaria) including urticaria factitia (symptomatic dermographism), cold-, heat-, solar-, pressure-, delayed pressure-, aquagenic-, cholinergic-, or contact-urticaria
Other diseases with symptoms of urticaria or angioedema, including but not limited to urticaria vasculitis, urticaria pigmentosa, erythema multiforme, mastocytosis, hereditary angioedema, or drug-induced urticaria
Any other skin disease associated with chronic itching that might influence in the investigator's opinion the study evaluations and results, e.g., atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus or psoriasis

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
