New hope for painful skin condition: experimental drug aims to reduce abscesses
NCT ID NCT07225569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called SAR445399 in 144 adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a painful skin condition that causes abscesses and tunnels under the skin. Participants will receive one of two doses of the drug or a placebo for 32 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can reduce the number of abscesses and inflamed bumps by at least 75% without worsening other symptoms.
