About this trial

The main objective of this study is to determine if NAV-240 works more effectively than a dummy treatment (placebo) for participants with moderate-to-severe HS. The main endpoint of this study is the percentage of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) 75 at Week 16, meaning at least a 75% reduction in inflamed skin bumps (abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count) with no increase in number of abscesses or draining tunnels (channels under the skin that leak fluid or pus) compared to the baseline (start of the study).

Participants will:

* Receive NAV-240 dose 1, NAV-240 dose 2 or placebo as a drip into the veins (intravenous infusion). * Visit the clinic up to 9 times for checkups and tests over 22 weeks. * Complete a daily diary about their skin pain.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Disqualifiers

> 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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) 75

HiSCR75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction in total abscess and inflammatory nodule count (AN count) with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining tunnel count relative to baseline.

Time frame
Baseline to Week 16

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of participants achieving skin pain numeric rating scale (NRS) 30 response

NRS30 is defined as a ≥ 30% reduction and at least a 2-unit reduction from baseline in skin pain on the NRS, for participants with a baseline skin pain NRS ≥ 3, based on the weekly average of the worst skin pain in a 24-hour recall period (maximal daily pain). The skin pain NRS is a single-item measure designed to capture information on self-reported skin pain severity by rating "the worst level of skin pain in the past 24 hours" as a number on a numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).

Time frame
Baseline to Week 16
2

Proportion of participants achieving HiSCR50

HiSCR50 is defined as at least a 50% reduction in total AN count with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining tunnel count relative to baseline.

Time frame
Baseline to Week 16
3

Proportion of participants achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) improvement (reduction) of ≥ 4 points among participants with DLQI ≥ 4 at baseline

The DLQI is a simple validated 10-item, dermatology-specific, quality-of-life (QoL) questionnaire. Each item in the questionnaire can receive an impairment degree on a 4-point-scale (0 - not at all, 3 - very much), and the higher the score, the greater the impairment of QoL.

Time frame
Baseline to Week 16
4

Proportion of participants with HS flare

Time frame
Baseline to Week 16

Other outcomes

1

Incidence of TEAEs, SAEs and adverse events of special interest (AESIs)

Time frame
Baseline to Week 16
