A Study Investigating Long-term Treatment With Spesolimab in People With a Skin Disease Called Hidradenitis Suppurativa Who Completed a Previous Clinical Trial

Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Hidradenitis Suppurativa

In brief

This study is open to adults with hidradenitis suppurativa who took part in a previous clinical study of a medicine called spesolimab. Participants who completed treatment can join this study. The purpose of this study is to find out how safe spesolimab is and whether it helps people with hidradenitis suppurativa in the long-term. Participants are in this study for about 2 years and 4 months. For 2 years, participants visit the study site every 2 weeks to get spesolimab injections under the skin. At study visits, doctors check the severity of participants' hidradenitis suppurativa and collect information on any health problems of the participants.
