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.

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant is ≥18 years of age;
  2. Participant has been diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa as determined by the investigator and has a history of signs and symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa dating back at least 6 months prior to the Screening Visit;
  3. Participant has a total abscess and/or inflammatory nodule (AN) count of ≥5;
  4. Participant has hidradenitis suppurativa lesions present in ≥2 distinct anatomical areas, at least one of which must contain single or multiple fistulas (i.e., be Hurley Stage II or III);
  5. Participant had an inadequate response to appropriate systemic antibiotics for treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (or demonstrated intolerance to, or had a contraindication to, systemic antibiotics for treatment of their HS), in the investigator's opinion;
  6. Participant must be, in the opinion of the investigator, at both the Screening Visit and study treatment initiation, a suitable candidate for treatment with adalimumab per approved local product information.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants with known hypersensitivity to sonelokimab or any of its excipients;
  2. Participants with known hypersensitivity to adalimumab or any of its excipients;
  3. Participant has a draining fistula count of ≥20 at the Screening Visit;
  4. Participant has any other active skin disease or condition that may, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the assessment of hidradenitis suppurativa;
  5. Prior exposure to more than 2 biologic response modifiers;
  6. Participant has a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75
Time Frame: Week 12
Percentage of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75), where HiSCR75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining fistula count.
Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 50
Time Frame: Week 12
Proportion of participants achieving HiSCR50
Week 12
Change in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System
Time Frame: Week 12

Change from baseline in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4)

The IHS4 score is calculated as follows: number of nodules (multiplied by 1) plus the number of abscesses (multiplied by 2) plus the number of draining tunnels (multiplied by 4). A total score of 3 or less signifies mild, 4 to 10 signifies moderate and 11 or higher signifies severe disease.

Week 12
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
Time Frame: Week 12

Proportion of participants achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score of ≤5

The DLQI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 30. A higher score indicates greater health-related quality of life impairment.

Week 12
Reduction from Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) in Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain (PGA Skin Pain)
Time Frame: Week 12

Proportion of participants achieving at least 30% reduction and at least 2-unit reduction from Baseline in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) in Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain (PGA Skin Pain) among subjects with Baseline NRS ≥3

The NRS is a numeric scale in which the respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of their pain ranging from 0 (no skin pain) to 10 (skin pain as bad as you can imagine).
