Study Summary
This trial is testing whether a medicine called spesolimab helps people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Participants are divided into groups and some receive placebo injections, with doctors monitoring symptoms and unwanted effects.
Who is the study for?
Adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can join this trial. They must have had an inadequate response to antibiotics, be biologic naive or only exposed to TNF inhibitors for HS treatment, and not have used other immunosuppressive biologics. Pregnant women and those with certain allergies or a history of cancer within the last 5 years are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if spesolimab helps people with HS. Participants are randomly assigned into groups receiving different doses of spesolimab or placebo via injections. After initial weekly treatments, they switch to every two weeks, and after four months, placebo groups start on spesolimab.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, allergic responses similar to other immune-modulating drugs like inflammation in various organs or increased infection risk; however specific side effects related to spesolimab will be monitored throughout the trial.
