About This Study

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disease that causes painful lesions in the axilla (underarm), inguinal (groin) and anogenital (anal/genital) regions. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult and adolescent participants with moderate to severe HS who have failed to respond to or are intolerant of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed.

Documented history of previous use of \>= 1 tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor for HS for at least 12 weeks and/or 1 approved non-anti-TNF biologic therapy for HS for at least 16 weeks characterized by inadequate response or for any duration characterized by intolerance as determined by the investigator.
Participant must have a total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count of \>= 5 at Baseline.
HS lesions must be present in at least 2 distinct anatomic areas at Baseline.
At least 1 anatomic area of HS involvement characterized as Hurley Stage II or higher at Baseline.
Draining fistula count of \<= 20 at Baseline.

Exclusion Criteria

History of active skin disease other than HS that could interfere with the assessment of HS, including skin infections (bacterial, funga

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Q:Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Q:Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Q:Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Q:Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

Q:How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
