Overview of the trials
These clinical trials are studying SALICYLIC ACID in people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a long-term skin disease named in the trial data.[1][2]
Both studies are looking at efficacy, safety, and tolerability, which means they want to see how well the study treatment works, how safe it is, and how well patients can handle it.[1][2]
Who can join the studies
The trials include adult and adolescent patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.[1][2]
This means the studies are not for mild disease, and they focus on people whose HS is serious enough to need close study.[1][2]
What is being measured
The main endpoint in both trials is HiSCR50 at Week 16.[1][2]
HiSCR50 means at least a 50% decrease in abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase in abscesses and no increase in draining tunnels/fistulae compared with the start of the study.[1][2]
In simple words, the researchers want to know whether the skin disease gets clearly better after 16 weeks without new worsening in the draining areas under the skin.[1][2]
Trial design, phase, and size
Both studies are Phase 3 and interventional, which means the study treatment is given to participants and the results are compared in a planned way.[1][2]
One trial plans to include 532 participants, and the other plans to include 487 participants.[1][2]
Both studies are listed as Authorised, so they have been approved to move forward in the source data.[1][2]
Details of the two studies
The first study, 2024-513266-19-00, is a Phase 3 study in adult and adolescent patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.[1]
Its brief summary says the goal is to show the efficacy of remibrutinib compared with placebo for HiSCR50 after 16 weeks of treatment.[1]
The second study, NCT06799000, has the same title, phase, condition, and main endpoint, and it also aims to show efficacy compared with placebo after 16 weeks.[2]
The intervention lists in the source data include study drugs, placebo, clindamycin, and triamcinolone, but the main study question in both trials is the response to the trial treatment versus placebo.[1][2]
Medical terms explained
Placebo means a look-alike treatment with no active study drug, used to compare results fairly.[1][2]
Endpoint means the main result the researchers are measuring in the trial.[1][2]
Baseline means the start of the study, before treatment effects are measured.[1][2]
Draining tunnels/fistulae are channels under the skin that can drain fluid, and the studies track whether these get worse.[1][2]
