New hope for painful skin condition: drug trial targets stubborn HS
NCT ID NCT07287644
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called BFB759 for people with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a painful skin condition that causes boils and abscesses. About 210 adults will receive either BFB759 or a placebo to see if the drug reduces the number of painful bumps and improves symptoms. The study lasts 36 to 40 weeks and aims to find a better treatment option for those whose HS is not well controlled by antibiotics.
