New hope for HS sufferers: Long-Term drug trial shows promise
NCT ID NCT06241573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of spesolimab for people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a painful skin condition. Participants who completed a prior spesolimab study receive injections under the skin every 2 weeks for about 1.5 years. The goal is to see how well the drug is tolerated and if it helps control HS over time.
