Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to treat hidradenitis suppurativa, a painful skin condition. The drug is given as a shot, and the trial will test how well it works and if it has any side effects.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), having lesions in at least two areas, one being Hurley Stage II or III. Participants must have had HS for over a year, not responded well to oral antibiotics, and be willing to use daily antiseptics and keep a pain diary.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Izokibep, an inhibitor targeting interleukin 17A (IL-17A) against a placebo. It aims to assess the drug's effectiveness and safety when injected under the skin in those with HS who haven't seen improvement from standard treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Izokibep are not listed here, inhibitors like it can potentially cause injection site reactions, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression, allergic reactions, or other immune-related conditions.
