    Just one approach;-

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[URI::query [HTTP::uri]] contains "mykey="} {
        set newq ""
        foreach param [split [URI::query [HTTP::uri]] "&"] {
            if {!($param starts_with "mykey=")} {
                     Build up new query parameter string
                append newq $param
            }
             Add new query portion to path
            HTTP::uri "[HTTP::path]$newq"
        }
    }

you may also try HTTP::query. HTTP::query writing data is introduced in 11.5.0.

ID385615 - RFE: Make HTTP::query iRule command support writing data

e.g.

 config

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when RULE_INIT {
  set static::qry_name "mykey"
  set static::qry_value "myvalue"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "origin=[HTTP::uri]"

  set tmp [string map [list $static::qry_name=[URI::query [HTTP::uri] $static::qry_name] ""] [HTTP::query]]
  set tmp [string map {&& &} $tmp]
  set tmp [string trimleft $tmp &]
  HTTP::query $tmp
  HTTP::uri [string trimright [HTTP::uri] ?&]

  log local0. "new=[HTTP::uri]"
}
}

 test

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tail -f /var/log/ltm
