Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with moderate-to-severe HS (≥6 months disease, ≥5 abscesses/inflammatory nodules, involvement of ≥2 body regions with at least one region Hurley II/III) who have had an inadequate response to at least one course of antibiotics and can comply with study visits and contraception requirements are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with very extensive disease such as more than 20 draining tunnels or active skin infections that would interfere with assessment are unlikely to benefit from or be eligible for this protocol.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Adults with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa will be assigned to receive one of two doses of NAV-240 or a matching placebo delivered by intravenous infusion and will be followed for 22 weeks with up to 9 clinic visits. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving HiSCR75 (at least 75% reduction in abscess and inflammatory nodule count with no worsening of abscesses or draining tunnels) at Week 16. Participants will complete a daily pain diary and may remain on a stable regimen of certain oral antibiotics if required. Key eligibility includes disease duration ≥6 months, lesion count ≥5, involvement of at least two body regions with at least one region Hurley stage II or III, and prior inadequate response to at least one antibiotic.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NAV-240 could help many patients achieve large reductions in inflamed lesions and reduce pain compared with placebo.
How similar studies have gone: NAV-240 is an investigational agent and prior data for this specific drug are limited, while established biologic therapies (for example anti-TNF agents) have demonstrated effectiveness in HS.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of stable HS for ≥ 2 months * Abscesses and Inflammatory Nodules (lesion) count ≥ 5 * Inflammatory HS lesions in at least 2 different body regions, one of which must be Hurley Stage II or III * Inadequate response to at least one course of antibiotics * Topical antiseptics/washes are not required but allowed. If in use, the participant must agree to use one single product consistently through Week 16. * Use of oral antibiotics is allowed during the study under the following conditions: the dose and regimen must remain stable until Week 16. Allowed oral antibiotics include doxycycline, minocycline, or tetracycline. * Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test * Participants of reproductive potential must use a highly effective method of contraception Exclusion Criteria: * \> 20 draining tunnel count * Active skin disease (bacterial, fungal, viral infection) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with assessment of HS or requires treatment with antibiotic(s) also used to treat HS. * Has had major surgery, including HS surgery, within 12 weeks prior to Day 1 * History of alcohol or drug abuse within the past 2 years. * A positive urine drug screen at Screening * History or evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus (HCV), or a positive test at Screening * History or current diagnosis of active or latent pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB infection or a positive test at Screening * History of moderate to severe heart failure or recent (within past 6 months) cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, or coronary stenting. * Any history of malignancy (including lymphoma and leukemia) other than a successfully treated and considered cured non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma or localized carcinoma in situ * History of immune deficiency
