Can a new injection tame the painful lumps of hidradenitis suppurativa?
NCT ID NCT07766005
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether an investigational medicine called SPY072 can improve hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a chronic skin condition causing painful lumps and tunnels. About 150 adults with moderate-to-severe HS who are already receiving standard care will be randomly assigned to receive SPY072 or a placebo for 16 weeks. The study will measure how many participants achieve a significant reduction in their HS lesions and will monitor safety and how long any benefits last.
