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 Cosentyx received FDA approval for moderate to severe HS, the same subset of patients for which 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., Janssen’s Remicade [infliximab]) may also be used off-label in patients with more-severe disease and/or patients who do not respond to Humira or Cosentyx. This content will provide manufacturers of current HS treatments, as well as those developing novel agents, insight into the use of various drugs to treat the disease and market trends in the HS space.
