Active clinical trials for "Hidradenitis Suppurativa"

The purpose of this research study is to further evaluate the efficacy of two treatment regimens for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa. This is a randomized controlled study. Patients will be randomly assigned to an arm of the study.

This study will investigate the efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), which is the therapeutic use of photochemical reactions, in treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a chronic inflammatory condition affecting areas of skin with sweat glands. We expect that PDT is effective in treating HS.

This study is being done to test a drug called etanercept (Enbrel®). Etanercept has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PsO), for use in reducing the signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults and children, and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in adults. It is available by prescription for the treatment of PsO, RA, PsA, and AS. Etanercept is approved for injection under the skin at a dose of 50 mg per week in patients with psoriasis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether etanercept is safe and effective for the treatment of hidradenitis. Another purpose of this study is to determine the impact of etanercept treatment of hidradenitis on skin related to quality of life. The skin lesions typically associated with hidradenitis are thought to be partly due to a blockage that occurs in sweat glands, called apocrine ducts, which become inflamed and eventually destroyed. A protein found in the body called tumor necrosis factor alpha, or TNF- α, is a hormone that causes this inflammation or swelling. The study drug, etanercept, blocks the action of TNF- α. By blocking the action of TNF-α, etanercept may provide a reduction in the signs and symptoms of hidradenitis. This study will take place at the University of Pennsylvania and will involve up to 21 participants ages 18 and up. Approximately 21 subjects will participate at the University of Pennsylvania. Each patient will participate in this study for a maximum of 6 months. The study consists of a screening visit, baseline assessment visit (Day 1), a treatment period (Week 2 - Week 14), and a one month follow-up visit (Week 18 visit). The total duration of the study will be approximately 2 years.

Phase 2 study of bermekimab in patients with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of INCB054707 over an 8-week treatment period in men and women with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab in study participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab in study participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)

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.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether IFX-1 is safe and effective in the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, long-term skin condition that causes abscesses and scarring on the skin.
