About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Izokibep is a small protein molecule that acts as a selective, potent inhibitor of interleukin 17A, to which it binds with high affinity. This study investigates izokibep in participants with active Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), including tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor (TNFi) naïve participants, and those who had an inadequate response or intolerance to TNFi, or for whom TNFi is contraindicated.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Group 1Treatment being tested
Participants will receive placebo as a subcutaneous (SC) injection every week (QW) from Day 1 to Week 15. Participants will then receive izokibep as a SC injection QW from Week 16 to Week 51.
Treatment: Placebo and Izokibep
- Group 2Treatment being tested
Participants will receive izokibep QW from Day 1 to Week 51.
Treatment: Izokibep
