摘要

Remibrutinib (Rhapsido®), is an innovative oral Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor discovered and developed by Novartis for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), an autoimmune disease. It is a covalent, irreversible inhibitor that targets BTK, a key signalling node in the FcεRI pathway of mast cells and basophils, thereby suppressing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. In September 2025, remibrutinib received its first US FDA approval for the treatment of CSU for adult patients who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment. This approval marks a significant advancement in CSU care that targets mast cell and basophil activation, two key contributors involved in hive formation and itching. This article reviews the development journey, scientific rationale, chemistry, pharmacological properties (pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics and safety profile), clinical trials, and granted patents that led to first FDA approval of an oral treatment for adult patients with CSU.
