Part A: Number of Participants Who Achieved Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75) at Week 12 Primary · Part A: Baseline to Week 12

HiSCR75 was defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining fistula count.

Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Secondary · Part A: Screening (Day -28) to Follow-up (Week 45), for a total of 49 weeks

An adverse event (AE) referred to any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, regardless of a causal relationship with the study treatment. TEAEs included any event occurring after the participant received the study treatment. Clinically significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory tests recorded after treatment administration were documented as TEAEs. Serious TEAEs (SAEs) were untoward medical occurrences after the first dose, irrespective of a causal link to the study treatment, that led to death, were life-threatening, required hospitalization

A flare was defined as ≥ 25% increase in AN count with a minimum increase of 2 AN relative to baseline. Missing data of abscess and inflammatory nodules counts at scheduled visits are imputed assuming monotone missingness pattern. Predictors in the regression model for missing values at Week 4 are Baseline Hurley stage, baseline abscess count, baseline inflammatory nodule count, baseline draining fistula count, sex, race, age, body mass index (BMI) and prior Biologic/JAK inhibitor use for HS. Predictors in the regression model for missing values after Week 4 are all of these variables, plus c

Hurley stages: Stage 1 - solitary or multiple, isolated abscess formation without scarring or sinus tracts Stage 2 - recurrent abscesses, single or multiple widely separated lesions, with sinus tract formation Stage 3 - diffuse or broad involvement, with multiple interconnected sinus tracts and abscesses.

Sponsor's own description

Izokibep is a potent and selective inhibitor of interleukin 17A (IL-17A) that is being developed for treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of izokibep administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult subjects with moderate to severe HS.
