What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Efficacy will be evaluated using the included Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Index (HSSI).

    Measured: 13 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the role of TNF alpha in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa.

    Measured: 13 weeks

  2. To evaluate the ability of adalimumab to maintain suppression of the disease.

    Measured: 13 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing adalimumab in people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, run by Florida Academic Dermatology Centers.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Efficacy will be evaluated using the included Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Index (HSSI). (time frame: 13 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2009.
