Active clinical trials for "Hidradenitis"

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Apremilast in subjects with moderate Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).

The objective is to investigate ex vivo the inflammatory response in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) (activation of an inflammasome, role of pro-inflammatory cytokines) in the skin of patients treated surgically for this disease. The investigators hypothesize that Th17-derived cytokines, especially Interleukin (IL) IL-17, could serve as a relay in the inflammatory process leading to HS severity and recurrences.

The primary objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial in a real life setting is to evaluate the cost-utility of limumab monotherapy compared with the combination of adalimumab and a maximum of three surgeries after two years of treatment in adult patients with moderate to severe HS.

This study is being conducted to evaluate if a written action plan for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) will help patients with hidradenitis suppurativa gain a better understanding of the condition and how to manage the condition on a daily basis compared to a routine verbal consultation.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of oral administration of orismilast for treatment of mild, moderate, or severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in adults.

Investigators will sample the skin and blood of patients with chronic skin conditions (including but not limited to atopic dermatitis (AD), contact dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and psoriasis) to study the expression of anti-oxidative enzymes, skin barrier proteins and inflammatory molecules. In patients with atopic dermatitis, investigators will also measure skin barrier function using noninvasive devices. These results will be correlated with the disease severity in atopic dermatitis patients.

6 monthly treatments with IPL laser in patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. The effect in measured on several severity scores.

The study will be conducted over 24 weeks on active therapy followed by a four-week observational visit. The total length of the study will be 28 weeks. Study visits will occur at Screening, Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 followed by an observational visit. Additionally, all subjects will be contacted by phone 1 week following the Baseline visit to ensure daily pain assessments are being recorded. If any signs or symptoms are reported at the time of the call, an unscheduled study visit will be conducted to assess whether an infection is present. Adverse events will be collected throughout the study.

The aim of this study is to determine the benefits of group psychotherapy on quality of life for people with hidradenitis suppurativa receiving medical and surgical treatment versus a control group (awaiting group) treated with medical and surgical treatment, without psychotherapy.

The current surgical management for severe Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) involves wide excision of affected skin, resulting in a large soft tissue defect. The soft tissue defect will then be managed with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) to promote healthy granulation tissue formation for wound coverage with Split skin graft (SSG). This long interval between excision and reconstruction could result in long in-patient stay, increased risk of hospital acquired infection and reduced patients' quality of life. The investigators wish to evaluate the use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with instillation (NPWTi), which has potential to allow early wound coverage with SSG, as an alternative to the current standard of care. The investigators hypothesise that NPWTi reduces bacterial load on the wound and allows early wound coverage hence improves patient satisfaction and reduces cost and length of hospital stay.
