NCT ID NCT06444087

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 192 adults with hidradenitis suppurativa (a painful skin condition) who are starting secukinumab as part of their normal care. Researchers will ask patients to rate their pain, oozing, and bad smell after 12 months. The goal is to understand how the drug affects symptoms from the patient's point of view, not to test a new treatment.
