About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Assessment of the Efficacy & Safety of Efalizumab in the Treatment of Moderate-Severe Hydradenitis Suppurativa

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of efalizumab in treating hydradenitis suppurativa, and to evaluate the duration of the benefit seen in people who respond to treatment with efalizumab, after the medication is stopped.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of subcutaneously administered efalizumab in the treatment of refractory, severe hydradenitis suppurativa. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the ability to re-establish disease control after discontinuation of drug and allowance for relapse of disease, as well as to assess the safety of subcutaneously administered efalizumab in the treatment of refractory, severe hydradenitis suppurativa.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing efalizumab in people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction in number of inflammatory lesions 12 weeks post-baseline. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2006.
