Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group 52-Week Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Olatorepatide, a GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonist, in Adults With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa Living With Overweight or Obesity
Run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals · NCT07830329 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with hidradenitis suppurativa, BMI ≥27 kg/m^2, HS in two or more anatomical areas, and at least 5 inflammatory lesions at screening and baseline.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with hypersensitivity to olatorepatide or components, or those not meeting BMI or lesion criteria, may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This phase 2 interventional trial compares olatorepatide to placebo in adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa and a BMI of 27 or higher. Participants will have HS lesions in at least two distinct areas and a minimum inflammatory lesion count, and will apply antiseptics daily to HS-affected skin. The study will evaluate safety, efficacy, drug levels over time, and antibody development that could affect treatment. Enrollment is at a single site in the Bronx, New York, sponsored by Regeneron with Equity Medical, LLC as the participating site.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improvement in HS symptoms and quality of life, along with potential weight-related benefits.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of similar agents in HS have shown mixed results; this trial is exploring a targeted approach in overweight individuals.

Confirmation of HS by the investigator during physical examination at screening 2. HS lesions present in at least 2 distinct anatomic areas as described in the protocol 3. Moderate to severe HS, defined as a total of ≥5 inflammatory lesions (ie, number of abscesses plus number of inflammatory nodules) at both screening (visit 1) and baseline (visit 2) 4.
