Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) in Saudi Arabia with confirmed active moderate-to-severe HS who are secukinumab-naive and agree to complete questionnaires are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18, those with prior biologic or JAK inhibitor use, or those unwilling to complete the informed consent and questionnaires are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a 24-week, single-arm, prospective observational study of adults with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa treated in routine clinical practice in Saudi Arabia. Secukinumab-naive patients who begin Cosentyx will have data collected at baseline and at 24 weeks from electronic medical records and patient-reported questionnaires (TSQM, DLQI, and NPRS-11). The primary focus is patient-reported treatment satisfaction (convenience, perceived safety, perceived effectiveness, and global satisfaction) measured by the TSQM at week 24. The design follows standard-of-care visits and allows concurrent antibiotics or surgery as clinically indicated.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If positive, the results could help patients and clinicians understand real-world satisfaction with Cosentyx and support shared treatment decisions for HS.
How similar studies have gone: Secukinumab has been studied in hidradenitis suppurativa with some clinical trial data supporting effectiveness, but there are limited published real-world patient-satisfaction data.
