Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 80 with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa confirmed by histopathological examination.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have received additional adjuvant therapy during the follow-up period or those lost to follow-up may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study aims to retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of secukinumab when used in conjunction with surgical treatment for moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). It focuses on patients aged 18 to 80 years who have been diagnosed with HS and have undergone surgery while receiving secukinumab. The research seeks to provide real-world evidence on the treatment outcomes and safety profile of this combination therapy, addressing the limitations of traditional treatments and the high recurrence rates associated with surgery alone.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients suffering from moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of biologic agents like TNF-α inhibitors has shown promise, the specific combination of secukinumab with surgery for HS is still being evaluated and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
