NCT ID NCT06785675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how satisfied people with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are with a new medication called secukinumab, and how it affects their quality of life. About 48 adults in the UAE who are just starting secukinumab will fill out questionnaires over a short period. The goal is to understand real-world benefits beyond just symptom control.
