Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44132   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7324   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Pharmacogenetics sub-study:
    For individuals consenting to the pharmacogenetic substudy, blood samples will be drawn for exploratory genetic/epigenetic analyses at specified timepoints. A separate ICF will be required for those study participants who agree to participate in the pharmacogenetics substudy. Refusal to participate in the substudy will not affect a study participant's ability to participate in the main study.

    Photography sub-study:
    At certain sites, where feasible, representative photographs of the changes in skin will be captured. Photographs will be anonymized. This is optional for study participants and requires a separate informed consent. A decision not to consent does not exclude the study participant from the study.
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Participant must be at least 18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent. If a study participant is under the local age of consent and is at least 18 years of age, written informed consent will be obtained from both the study participant and the legal representative
    - Study participants must have a diagnosis of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) based on clinical history and physical examination for at least 6 months prior to the Baseline visit; diagnosis must be verifiable through medical notes and documentation
    - Study participant must have HS lesions present in at least 2 distinct anatomic areas (eg, left and right axilla), 1 of which must be at least Hurley Stage II or Hurley Stage III at both the Screening and Baseline visits
    - Study participant must have moderate to severe HS defined as a total of ≥5 inflammatory lesions (ie, number of abscesses plus number of inflammatory nodules) at both the Screening and Baseline visits
    - Study participant must have had a history of inadequate response to a course of a systemic antibiotics for treatment of HS at the Screening Visit as assessed by the Investigator through study participant interview and review of medical history; inadequate response must be verifiable through medical notes and documentation

    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Draining tunnel count of >20 at the Baseline Visit
    - Any other active skin disease or condition (eg, bacterial cellulitis, candida intertrigo, extensive condyloma) that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, interfere with the assessment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)
    - Study participant has a diagnosis of sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
    - Primary immunosuppressive condition, including taking immunosuppressive therapy following an organ transplant, or has had a splenectomy
