Hidradenitis Suppurativa – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Hidradenitis Suppurativa (US)

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder affecting hair follicles. It is characterized by the occurrence of inflamed and swollen lesions, which are typically painful and filled with fluid or pus. AbbVie’s Humira (adalimumab) was the only FDA-approved therapy for HS until October 2023, when the FDA approved Cosentyx for moderate to severe HS, the same patient population for whom Humira is specifically approved. Notably, depending on their specific symptoms, patients may initially receive off-label treatment with other agents, such as antibiotics and immunosuppressants, before their physician prescribes these approved biologics. Alternative targeted therapies (e.g., Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine’s Remicade [infliximab]) may be used off-label for more-severe disease and for patients who do not respond to Humira or Cosentyx. This content will provide manufacturers of current treatments, as well as those developing novel HS agents, insight into the use of various drugs for HS and market trends in this space.
