NCT ID NCT07384975

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether NAV-240, given as an IV infusion, works better than a placebo for adults with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). HS causes painful, inflamed bumps and tunnels under the skin. The main goal is to see if NAV-240 can reduce these bumps by at least 75% after 16 weeks. About 150 participants will receive either NAV-240 or placebo and be monitored for 22 weeks.

Active substance

NAV-240 (given as an intravenous infusion)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option that reduces painful skin bumps and draining tunnels in people with hidradenitis suppurativa.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2a study with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being evaluated.
