About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hidradenitis Suppurativa focused on measuring hidradenitis suppurativa, anakinra

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

1) Signed informed consent form with Confirmed diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa with moderate or severe disease activity

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Use of the following therapies:

    • Etanercept in the 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)
    • Adalimumab in the 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)
    • Infliximab in the 12 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)
    • Any other investigational biologics in the 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)
    • Leflunomide in the 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1) • Thalidomide in the 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)
    • Cyclosporine in the 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)
    • I.V. immunoglobulin (I.V. Ig) in the 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit (Day 1)

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Anakinra

Arm Description

All patients in this arm will receive the investigation drug anakinra once daily subcutaneously.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Modified Sartorius Score
At each study visit, the same physician (dermatologist) examined patients and recorded the following: (i) anatomical regions involved: axilla, groin, gluteal (left ⁄right) or other region, 3 points per region; (ii) numbers and scores of lesions (nodule 1 point, fistula 6 points) for each region; (iii) longest distance between two relevant lesions (or size of single lesion) in each region: < 5 cm, 1 point; 5-10 cm, 3 points; > 10 cm, 9 points; and (iv) whether all lesions are separated by normal skin: yes, 0; no (= Hurley III), 9 points. Regional scores were summed to a total score, ranging from 5 to indefinite. Smaller numbers are better scores and indicate less lesion involvement. Decreases (negative changes) from baseline indicate improvement in disease severity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Quality of Life Assessments
The Physician Global Assessment: The physician assessed disease activity on the visual analog scale ranging from 0mm (absent) to 100mm (worst imaginable). The Patient Global Assessment; The patients reported overall (global) disease activity of HS. Patients were asked "What is the overall activity (pain, discharge, odor, and presence of new lesions) of hidradenitis at this visit?" with a scale of 0=no acitivity to 100=maximal activity.
Change in Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI)
Patient self-administered questionnaire measuring the extent to which disease affects quality of life, range 0-30, with higher score reflecting a larger negative effect of disease on quality of life
Change in C-reactive Protein
Change assessed from baseline to end of treatment phase.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is an open-label, proof-of-concept research study to assess the effectiveness of anakinra in the treatment of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The planned intervention is to provide about 6 HS patients with anakinra 100mg daily injections to administer subcutaneously for 8 weeks. Then, the study subjects will be followed for a further 8 weeks to monitor for relapse of HS.
