About the Study

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), or acne inversa, is a skin condition that causes small, painful bumps, boils and/or abscesses to form under the skin. HS usually appears in areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, inner thighs, buttocks and breasts. As HS gets more severe, these bumps, boils and/or abscesses grow deeper, and can rupture or leak and cause scarring.

HS develops after puberty, but often takes years to diagnose - and like many skin conditions can take a major toll on self-esteem and quality of life.

Right now, doctors at select centres in Canada are accepting participants for a new clinical study that may be able to help. The study is for an investigational injectable medication for HS, and is for people ages 16 and older.

If you or your child join, you will receive all study-related care and study medication at no cost, and will also be compensated for your time and travel to attend regular visits at your local study centre.

Why Participate?

If you or your child (16 years or older) have hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), you may qualify for a local clinical study. The study is for an investigational injectable medication for HS that may be able to help. If you qualify and join the study, you will receive:

  • Regular evaluations of your HS condition from a local specialist
  • Study-related care and study medication at no cost
  • Compensation for time and travel to attend study visits
  • The opportunity to help advance hidradenitis suppurativa research to potentially benefit others suffering from HS
