Filter by:This clinical trial aims to study if a drug called anifrolumab works to treat Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) as well as its effect in quality of life before and after treatment. Anifrolumab is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits several processes that have been shown to be involved in the development of HS. The study lasts approximately 40 weeks separated into a screening, treatment, and follow-up phase. Researchers determine if it is safe for the you to receive the drug and if you are eligible for the study during Screening. If eligible for the study, the treatment phase lasts 24 weeks (or six months) with one follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last visit in the treatment phase. During the treatment phase, participants will be asked to come to clinic every two weeks for the first month of treatment, and monthly thereafter for a total of eight treatment visits. Participants will be asked to: - Complete questionnaires asking about the effect of HS in their daily lives and their perception of HS and treatment received. - Receive related medical evaluation - Receive the study drug intravenously - Stay 20 minutes after the infusion for monitoring
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disease involving skin folds, causing swelling of the skin and surrounding tissues, pain, and foul-smelling discharges. Effective treatment options are lacking. Recently, clinical trials conducted in our lab found Brodalumab was an effective drug for this disease. Weekly dosing achieved superior therapeutic outcomes compared to a dosing given once in every other week. Brodalumab was safe in both regimens, but blood and tissue studies to better understand this response are still needed. By performing this small pilot study and collecting blood and tissue samples from participants treated with Brodalumab once weekly we would like to better characterize the molecular response to this treatment, identify blood and tissue markers reflecting disease severity, and better understand disease mechanisms.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of INCB054707 in participants with hidradenitis suppurativa over a 16-week placebo-controlled treatment period followed by a 36-week open-label extension period. All eligible participants will be invited to continue treatment for an additional 48-week Long-term extension period (also open label).
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
This is a study with 3 kinase inhibitors (PF 06650833, PF 06700841 and PF 06826647) in participants with moderate to severe HS. The study will have a maximum duration of approximately 26 weeks. This includes an up to 6-week Screening Period, a 16 week Dosing Period and a 4 week Follow up Period.
This study further evaluates the efficacy of bermekimab in treating moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in adults. 1/3 of patients will receive weekly injections of bermekimab, 1/3 will receive alternating every other week injections of bermekimab or placebo, and 1/3 will receive weekly injections of placebo.
Phase 2 study of Avacopan in Subjects with Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an under-recognized and debilitating disease. Patients suffer from recurring painful abscesses and scarring in their armpits, under the breasts, groin and other areas of the body. The cause of the disease is still unknown and common treatments are only sometimes effective. Overactivity of the immune system has been associated with HS and molecules that cause inflammation have been found in the skin from people with HS. Current therapies have long-term risks including antibiotic resistance and the investigators aim to find new safe and effective therapies for HS. Hydroxychloroquine is a medication that has been used safely in other diseases for many years. The investigators believe that hydroxychloroquine has the potential to improve HS through multiple mechanisms. Patients enrolled in this study will be treated with hydroxychloroquine for 6 months. The investigators also aim to look at the blood of patients with HS to look for inflammatory molecules that we could possibly target for the treatment of HS. Blood samples will be taken at baseline and following 6 months of treatment.
With microwave ablation (MWA), using the heat generated from electromagnetic waves in the microwave energy spectrum, hair follicles and apocrine glands in the (hypo)dermis are ablated through thermolysis. MWA was recently approved for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis (miraDry) and removal of axillary hair (miraSmooth). By permanent removal of hairs and sweat glands, the investigators hypothesize a beneficial and long-term sustainable preventive effect of MWA in HS patients.
6 monthly treatments with IPL laser in patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The effect in measured on several severity scores.
