Filter by: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 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.
The purpose of the WE-HEAL Study is to help researchers use human tissue samples and health records to study the reasons why some patients heal quickly and some have problems healing wounds. All patients seen with an open wound or hidradenitis suppurativa are invited to participate. Information from this research may help to understand how to prevent and treat certain diseases.
