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.
