Background: Phase III clinical trials are designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of drugs and their superiority over other treatment methods, but biologics for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) have not been compared head-to-head in phase III studies.
Objective: To evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of biologics for HS in a network meta-analysis including available data from phase III trials.
Methods: MEDLINE and Embase were searched for phase III trials investigating the efficacy and/or safety of at least one biologic for moderate-to-severe HS.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin disease associated with significant disease burden. To assess patients' treatment benefits, disease-specific outcomes measurement is needed. This study aimed to develop a questionnaire called Patient Benefit Index for hidradenitis suppurativa (PBI-HS).

Hidradenitis suppurativa tunnel structures lined with epithelium within the dermis are unique features of advanced disease stages that significantly impair patients' QOL. The presence of hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels is associated with a decreased likelihood of achieving a clinical response, even when receiving biological therapy. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tunnel formation and pathology are only partially understood, which hampers the development of more effective targeted therapies.

"Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a significant quality-of-life impact. In addition to the 2 drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for HS, adalimumab and secukinumab, several other biologic and small molecule inhibitors are used off-label or are in clinical trials. A systematic and evidence-based approach using these and other therapies-considering patient comorbidities, response to therapy, dose adjustment, and frequent troubleshooting-is required.
