Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. TEAEs are AEs with onset during the treatment phase or that are a consequence of a pre-existing condition that has worsened since baseline.
Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants with Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of bermekimab in participants with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).
Detailed Description
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease of unclear etiology that affects 1 percent (%) to 4% of the general population. JNJ-77474462 (bermekimab) is a recombinant human immunoglobulin G1 kappa (IgG1k) monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds with high affinity and selectivity for human interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and is an effective blocker of IL-1 alpha biological activity. IL-1 alpha is a key mediator of sterile inflammatory responses. Skin is a significant reservoir of preformed IL-1 alpha, and it has been postulated that IL-1 alpha may play a role in the pathophysiology of multiple inflammatory skin disorders, including HS. Part 1 of this study contains 4 study periods: up to 6 weeks screening period (Period 1), 16-week placebo-controlled period (Period 2), 16-week cross over period (Period 3), and 4-week safety follow-up (Period 4). Part 2 of this study also contains 4 study periods: up to 6 weeks screening period (Period 1), 12-week placebo-controlled period (Period 2), 20-week cross over period (Period 3), and 4-week safety follow up (Period 4). Safety will be assessed by adverse events (AEs), serious adverse event (SAEs), physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms, clinical safety laboratory assessments, allergic reaction, injection-site reactions, and tuberculosis evaluations. The total duration of study participation will be up to 42 weeks.
