Article Synopsis
  • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin condition, and secukinumab has shown sustained effectiveness and good safety for treating moderate-to-severe HS, though its performance in previously treated patients is unclear.
  • The study analyzes data from two phase III trials (SUNSHINE and SUNRISE) to assess how prior exposure to biologics influences the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in HS patients.
  • Results showed that secukinumab was more effective than placebo at 16 weeks for both biologic-experienced and biologic-naïve patients, indicating it remains a viable treatment option regardless of prior biologic treatment.
