Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The aim of this study is to gain new insights into the safety and efficacy of the drug Bimekizumab in the long-term treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa. Bimekizumab is a new drug that is still in the drug testing phase. It has not yet been approved by the relevant authorities for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa. The study involves trial centers from many countries in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. The study includes 3 phases: a pre-assessment phase, a treatment phase, and a safety follow-up phase. The treatment phase is divided into 2 sections: in the first section, you will receive either Bimekizumab or placebo (placebo looks like Bimekizumab but contains no active ingredient), in the second section, you will receive Bimekizumab. Bimekizumab and placebo are administered by injection under the skin either in the lower abdomen, upper arm, or on the outer side of your thighs. Whether you receive Bimekizumab or placebo in the first section of the treatment phase is determined by chance. Neither you nor your doctor will know which treatment you are receiving ("double-blind"). The study will last a total of up to 71 weeks. You will need to attend about 28 visits to the trial center during the study. There are two optional sub-studies: a genetics sub-study and a photography sub-study. Optional means you can participate, but you do not have to. You can choose to participate only in the main study and not in the sub-studies. Approximately 490 study participants are planned.
