Filter by:The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate maintenance of HiSCR response in either continuous or interrupted therapy (using a randomized withdrawal period) of two dose regimens and to assess long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of secukinumab in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa completing either of the 2 Phase III studies. This is an expanded access trial for the core trials CAIN457M2301 (NCT03713619) and CAIN457M2302 (NCT03713619).
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic relapsing condition with significant psychosocial impact and morbidity, but that doesn't mean that patients will necessarily be adherent to recommended treatments. Patients, especially those on chronic medication therapy, inevitably miss doses. They use too little or too much therapy. They may take medications too soon or too far apart. While adherence to injection treatments tend to be better than adherence to topical or oral treatment, adherence to injections may still be poor. Traditional methods for measuring medical adherence-including questionnaires, surveys, and diaries- tend to be unreliable overestimate adherence. Chemical markers are problematic because of the tendency for patients to use their medication right before visits, so called "white coat compliance." Our research team has pioneered the use of electronic monitoring devices which measure and record the date and time of medication events to assess adherence in dermatology. The study team have demonstrated the feasibility of using such monitors to measure adherence to adalimumab in patients with psoriasis. Although only a small study, it documented a broad range of how patients use adalimumab and found that adherence was poor in about half of the patients. While the impact of psoriasis on patients' lives is large, adherence is still poor. How adherent patients with hidradenitis are to weekly adalimumab treatment is not yet well characterized.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a common and debilitating skin disease that is poorly understood and understudied. As a result, little is known about disease prognosis and few effective treatments exist for this condition. This prospective observational cohort study aims to comprehensively characterize the clinical and biological features of HS. The results of this research will provide a basis for the development of an HS clinical classification system and identification of potential treatments for HS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the drug spironolactone - which is used to treat acne and male pattern hair growth in women - is effective in treating hidradenitis suppurativa in females and which dose of the drug works the best. Participation in this study will take about 4 clinic visits over approximately 7 months with the option to continue for longer if desired.
Prospective, observational cross-sectional study to evaluate the response of patients with HS I-II to monotherapy treatment of topical resorcin 15%, taking into account its safety, impact on quality of life and subclinical evolution.
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.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a severe, chronic debilitating disease with a variable and incomplete response to current treatments. Existing immunological studies have found dysregulation in the TH17:Treg axis with an increase in inflammatory mediators including TNFalpha, IL-17 IL-23 (amongst others) in lesional skin. Multiple cell typesincluding CD4+ cells, dendritic cells and macrophages infiltrate active lesions of HS and produce this major contribution from the Th17 axis. One of the main barriers to the development of novel and effective treatments for HS is the lack of biomarker(s) of disease activity, as well as our incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease. Given the pronounced contribution of Th17 pathway (including interleukin-23) in the inflammation in HS, further investigation into the role of this axis in the pathogenicity of HS is essential. Guselkumab is a fully human interluekin-23 antagonist, FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis in participants 18 years and over. Guselkumab is a novel potential therapy.
The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Er:YAG laser for treatment of different gynecological indication, e.g. genital lesions, Bartholin's cyst, condyloma, episiotomy scars, lesions of hydradenitis suppurativa and use of laser in genital surgery used in private practice.
This is a multicenter open-label mode of action study. Twenty patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa will be treated with guselkumab 200 mg Q4W subcutaneously. Main objectie is to investigate changes in inflammatory pathways induced by IL-23p19 blockade with guselkumab, in HS lesional skin. The total duration of the treatment period per subject is 16 weeks.
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.
