Study Summary

This trial is to study the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of secukinumab in people with hidradenitis suppurativa who completed one of two Phase III studies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa who have already completed a year of treatment in previous core studies. Participants must have been on secukinumab during the latter part of those studies and be able to give written consent. Those with protocol deviations, using prohibited treatments, or having severe diseases that pose safety risks cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the long-term effects of continuous versus interrupted doses of secukinumab over two years. It aims to see if stopping and restarting treatment affects how well patients maintain their response compared to taking it non-stop.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Secukinumab may cause side effects such as infections, allergic reactions, inflammation in various parts of the body, headache, diarrhea, and upper respiratory tract infection. Long-term use will help understand the full range of potential side effects.
