Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male Japanese subjects who are atopic as determined by an in vitro test (CAP-RAST or MAST test)
- •Serum IgE level must be equal to or greater than 30 IU/mL at screening.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Poorly controlled asthma i.e. symptoms of asthma (daytime or night-time) or use of short-acting beta agonist for relief of asthma (except with exercise) more than once a week
- •Worsening of asthma signs and symptoms prompting a medical intervention within 1 year prior to dosing
- •Severe atopic dermatitis within 1 year prior to dosing, defined by a history of eruption with severe inflammation such as erythema, papule, erosion, infiltration and lichen
- •Severe allergic rhinitis strongly disturbing daily life within 1 year prior to dosing
- •Severe allergic conjunctivitis (e.g., episodes of giant papillary, limbal proliferation, shield ulcer) within 1 year prior to dosing
- •Prior use of Xolair® or other anti-IgE antibodies
- •Concomitant use of allergy vaccination therapy
- •Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
