Study summary

The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of multiple dosing regimens of LAD191 compared to placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and to access the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity in participants with moderate-to-severe HS.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess the multiple dosing regimens of LAD191 compared to placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). The study has a prospectively defined adaptive design that will utilize interim data for futility evaluation.

The study includes up to 4 weeks screening period 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled period (Treatment period 1), 16-weeks LAD191 double-blind period (Treatment period 2), and 12-week safety follow-up.

The study participants will be randomized to one of the following treatment arms: LAD191 dose A, LAD191 dose B; LAD191 dose C, Adalimumab or Placebo.

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged greater than or equal to (>=) 18 to less than or equal to (\<=) 65 years.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • HS with >20 draining tunnels at the Screening or Baseline/Day 1 visit.
  • Ongoing medical conditions requiring systemic /immunomodulating treatments during the study.
  • Known to LAD191 or any of its .
  • Known hypersensitivity to adalimumab or biosimilar or any of its excipients or meeting any warning or to adalimumab treatment as per the approved product information, and as per the Investigator's judgment.
  • Hypersensitivity or systemic reaction to a prior biologic (antibody-based) therapy, regardless of indication, that was , as per the Investigator's judgment.
  • Prior treatment with LAD191.
  • Live or attenuated vaccinations 4 weeks prior to Baseline/Day 1 or is planning to receive any such vaccine during the study.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study.
  • Intention to use any concomitant medication or therapy that is not permitted by this protocol or failure to meet the required for a particular prohibited medication prior to Baseline/Day 1.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants Achieving 50 Percent (%) Reduction from Baseline in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR-50)

    HiSCR-50 is defined as ≥50% reduction in total AN count, with no increase in abscess count, and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline.

    Time frame: At Week 16

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants Achieving 75% Reduction from Baseline in HiSCR-75 at Week 16

    HiSCR-75 is defined as ≥75% reduction in total AN count, with no increase in abscess count, and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline.

    Time frame: At Week 16

  2. Proportion of Participants Achieving 90% Reduction from Baseline in HiSCR-90 at Week 16

    HiSCR-90 is defined as 90% reduction in total AN count, with no increase in abscess count, and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline.

    Time frame: At Week 16

  3. Proportion of Participants Achieving 55% Reduction from Baseline in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4-55) at Week 16

    The IHS4 is determined by counting nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels (fistulae/sinuses). IHS4 (points) = (number of nodules multiplied by 1) + (number of abscesses multiplied by 2) + \[number of draining tunnels (fistulae/sinuses) multiplied by 4\]. A score of 3 or lower indicates a mild stage of hidradenitis suppurativa, a score of 4-10 indicates a moderate stage, and a score of 11 or higher indicates a severe stage of the disease. IHS4-55, is a dichotomous IHS4 variable based on a ≥55% reduction of the total score.

    Time frame: At Week 16

  4. Change from Baseline in Skin Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at Week 16

    Skin Pain NRS is an 11-point scale in which patients are asked to rate their skin pain over the prior 24 hours, where 0 is no skin pain and 10 is pain as bad.

    Time frame: At Week 16

  5. Change from Baseline in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Quality of Life (HiSQOL) at Week 16

    The HiSQOL was specifically developed for use in clinical trials to assess Quality of Life (QoL) and comprises a 17-item questionnaire grouped into 3 sub-scales covering symptoms, psychosocial, and activity-adaptation aspects, with a recall period of seven days. Each item is structured as a Likert-type scale with five or seven response levels and, for all items, the score ranges from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Individual item scores are summed and a total score ranging from 0 to 68 is calculated, where the higher the score the more impact HS has on quality of life.

    Time frame: At Week 16
