Efficacy and Safety of Secukinumab in Conjunction With Surgery in Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa: An Open-label Cohort Study in Real Clinical Practice

This study aims to retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of secukinumab combined with surgery in treating moderate to severe HS in real-world clinical practice, providing clinical practioners with real-world evidence in HS treatment.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, and disabling inflammatory disease that occurs in apocrine distribution sites such as the axilla, groin, and perianal region with a worldwide prevalence of approximately 1.5% -4.6%.The pathogenesis is excessive activation of the Th17 type immune response mediated by IL-17, IL-23, resulting in abnormal keratinization of hair follicles, obstruction of sebaceous ducts, and bacterial infection, culminating in abscesses, sinus tracts, and scarring.Patients with moderate to severe HS (Hurley stage II-III) often suffer from a severe decline in their quality of life due to recurrent infections, pain, and dysfunction, and their risk of depression is markedly elevated.Traditional treatments such as antibiotics, glucocorticoids, surgical debridement have limited efficacy, and the recurrence rate of surgery alone is as high as 50% -70%.In recent years, the use of biologic agents such as TNF-α inhibitors has dramatically improved HS outcomes, but 30% to 40% of patients still have an inadequate response to TNF-α inhibitors. Accumulating evidence suggests that the IL-17 pathway plays a key role in HS pathogenesis, that IL-17A expression is upregulated in the skin lesions of HS patients and positively correlates with disease severity. The efficacy and safety of secukinumab in combination with surgery remain unclear.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HiSCR
Time Frame: week 52
at least a 50% reduction in total AN count, with no increase in abscess count, and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline)
week 52

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
IHS4
Time Frame: week 52
the number of nodules (multiplied by 1) plus the number of abscesses (multiplied by 2) plus the number of draining tunnels (multiplied by 4)
