About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Subject and Investigator Blinded, Placebo-controlled and Multi-center Platform Study, to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Different Investigational Drugs in Patients With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa

The main purpose of this study is to assess preliminary efficacy and safety of CFZ533/iscalimab (Cohort A), LYS006 (Cohort B), MAS825 (Cohort C), LOU064/remibrutinib (Cohort D) and VAY736/ianalumab (Cohort E) in patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa and to determine if CFZ533, LYS006, MAS825, LOU064 and VAY736 have an adequate clinical profile for further clinical development.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, subject and investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center and parallel-group non-confirmatory study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of five investigational drugs, CFZ533 (iscalimab), LYS006, MAS825, LOU064 (remibrutinib) and VAY736 (ianalumab) in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.

All participants from Cohorts A, B and C had planned a 16-week treatment period and 12-week safety follow up period. All participants for Cohort D had planned a 16-week treatment period and 4-week safety follow up period.

All participants for Cohort E had planned a 16-week treatment period and a mandatory 16-week safety follow-up period, plus a conditional follow-up period for up to 84 weeks for a total maximum follow up period of 2 years. Cohorts A-D are completed and Cohort E is ongoing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Response Measured by Simplified Hidradenitis Suppurativa (sHiSCR)

    sHiSCR was defined as at least a 50 percent (%) reduction in abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) counts, and no increase in draining fistula count related to baseline. The primary variable was modeled with the binomial distribution. A neutral non-informative Beta (1/3, 1/3) distribution was used as the prior for the response rate for all treatment groups. Based on the priors and the observed primary outcome, posterior distributions for the response rate for the investigational treatment and pooled placebo groups were computed respectively. At the time of the statistical comparison for cohorts A, B, and C, the placebo data for cohorts D and E were incomplete and therefore excluded. Similarly, during the comparison for cohort D, the placebo data for cohort E was still pending and was not included.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16
