Disqualifiers

Body surface areas to be treated exceed 20% BSA at screening or baseline

Presence of draining tunnels at screening or baseline.

Medical history including current or history of certain infections, cancer, lymphoproliferative disorders and other medical conditions at the discretion of the investigator.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of participants who achieve Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75) from baseline

HiSCR75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in the total abscess and/or inflammatory nodule (AN) count with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining tunnel count.

Time frame
Week 16

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of participants with ≥ 1 flare

Defined as a ≥ 25% increase in AN count with a minimum increase in total AN count of 2 relative to baseline.

Time frame
Up to 16 weeks
2

Proportion of participants who achieve HiSCR50

Defined as a ≥ 50 reduction from baseline in total AN count with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining tunnel count.

Time frame
Week 16
3

Proportion of participants who achieve Skin Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)3 among participants with baseline Skin Pain NRS score ≥ 3

Participants with a Skin Pain score of at least 3 at baseline and who achieve Skin Pain NRS3, defined as at least 3-unit reduction from baseline in the Skin Pain NRS.

Time frame
Week 16
4

Treatment-IR Population: Proportion of participants who achieve Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75) from baseline

Treatment IR-Population defined as participants who had an inadequate response, intolerance, or contraindication to prior topical or systemic medications for HS. HiSCR75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in the total AN count with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining tunnel count.

Time frame
