Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until end of Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 196) ]
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of investigational medicinal product (IMP), whether or not considered related to the IMP. NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IMP.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs) during the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until end of Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 196) ]

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:

    • Results in death
    • Is life-threatening
    • Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
    • Results in persistent disability/incapacity
    • Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • Important medical events

  2. Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) leading to withdrawal from the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until end of Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 196) ]
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of investigational medicinal product (IMP), whether or not considered related to the IMP. NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IMP. TEAEs leading to discontinuation of the study are reported.

  3. Percentage of participants achieving clinical response as measured by Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 50 (HiSCR50) [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 16, Week 32, Week 48, Week 76, Week 92, Week 100, Week 116, Week 132, Week 148, Week 164, and Week 180 ]

    HiSCR50 is defined as at least a 50 % reduction from Baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, with no increase from Baseline in abscess or draining tunnel count.

    Results will be presented individually per week listed under time points.


  4. Percentage of participants achieving clinical response as measured by Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75) [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 16, Week 32, Week 48, Week 76, Week 92, Week 100, Week 116, Week 132, Week 148, Week 164, and Week 180 ]

    HiSCR75 is defined as at least a 75 % reduction from Baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, with no increase from Baseline in abscess or draining tunnel count.

    Results will be presented individually per week listed under time points.


  5. Percentage of participants with Flare [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 16, Week 32, Week 48, Week 76, Week 92, Week 100, Week 116, Week 132, Week 148, Week 164, and Week 180 ]

    Flare is defined as a ≥25 % increase in abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count with an absolute increase in AN count of ≥2 relative to Baseline.

    Results will be presented individually per week listed under time points.


  6. Hidradenitis Suppurativa Symptom Questionnaire (HSSQ) Response for Worst Pain [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 16, Week 32, Week 48, Week 76, Week 92, Week 100, Week 116, Week 132, Week 148, Week 164, and Week 180 ]

    The 4 items on the HSSQ assess the study participant's perception of the core symptoms of HS experienced in the past 7 days - pain, smell or odor, drainage or oozing from HS lesions, and itch on an 11-point numeric rating scale with higher scores indicating higher symptom level.

    Results will be presented individually per week listed under time points.


  7. Absolute change from Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 16, Week 32, Week 48, Week 76, Week 92, Week 100, Week 116, Week 132, Week 148, Week 164, and Week 180 ]

    The DLQI is a skin disease specific questionnaire aimed at the evaluation of how the disease affects participants health related quality of life (QOL). The DLQI total score ranges from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating higher skin disease impact on QOL.

    Results will be presented individually per week listed under time points.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement:
Plan to Share IPD: Yes
Plan Description: Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of re-identifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available.
