New biologic shot aims to tame painful skin disease
NCT ID NCT06361836
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a single dose of a new biologic drug, SBT777101, in 24 adults with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (a chronic skin condition causing painful abscesses and tunnels). The main goal is to check safety and side effects at increasing dose levels. Researchers will also look at how the drug moves through the body and any signs it might reduce disease activity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SBT777101 (a biologic drug given as a single dose)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for hidradenitis suppurativa that reduces painful skin abscesses and inflammation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 24 people, focused on safety. It is too small and early to know if the drug actually helps symptoms, and side effects are unknown.

Inclusion Criteria: * Body mass index (BMI) ≤50 kg/m2, inclusive * Diagnosis of clinically active moderate-to-severe HS (Hurley Stage 2 or 3) * Total abscess or inflammatory nodule (AN) count of ≥5, affecting at least 2 distinct anatomic regions, with at least 1 accessible AN of adequate size for biopsy (diameter \> 1 cm) * Total draining tunnel (dT) count of ≤20 * Documented history of inadequate response or intolerance to at least a 3-month course of 1 conventional systemic therapy (e.g., antibiotic) and 1 biologic drug (e.g., adalimumab or secukinumab) * Doses of medications for HS must be stable for at least 5 weeks prior to study drug administration * Must agree to use highly effective method of contraception for at least 1 year post SBT777101 administration Exclusion Criteria: * Major surgery within 12 weeks prior to screening or planned within 12 months after dosing * History of or current inflammatory or other autoimmune disease * Complex presentations of HS * Skin disease other than HS that may confound clinical assessments or increase subject risk in the study * Uncontrolled concomitant cardiovascular, nervous system, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, or gastrointestinal disease * Active current infection or history of recurrent infections * Active or untreated latent tuberculosis * Primary or secondary immunodeficiency
