A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AVTX-009 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AVTX-009 compared with placebo in patients with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).
Brief Title
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AVTX-009 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, Phase 2 study. Patients will be randomized to one of two AVTX-009 dose regimens or matching placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio.

The study will comprise:

1. A Screening Period which will last up to 28 days.
2. A Treatment Period up to 16 weeks.
3. A Follow-up period of 6 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

The maximum clinical trial duration for each participant is 24 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signs and symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) for at least 6 months prior to Screening.
2. At least 5 inflammatory lesions in at least 2 distinct anatomical areas, at least 1 of which is Hurley Stage 2 or 3.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has a draining fistula count of ≥ 20.
2. Has another active skin inflammatory condition, infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal), or another active ongoing inflammatory disease (other than HS) that requires treatment with a prohibited medication, which could interfere with the assessment of HS.
3. History of chronic or recurrent infectious disease, including but not limited to chronic renal infection, chronic lung infection, recurrent urinary tract infection, or open, draining or infected skin wounds or ulcers (not related to HS).
4. Has severe, progressive and/or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematologic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic or immunosuppressive disease.
Inclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AVTX-009 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (LOTUS)
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
HiSCR75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula count, relative to Baseline.
Outcome Measure
Proportion of patients achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75)
Outcome Time Frame
At Week 16
Secondary Outcomes
Outcome Description
HiSCR50 is defined as at least a 50% reduction in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula count, relative to Baseline.
Outcome Time Frame
At Week 16
Outcome Measure
Proportion of patients achieving HiSCR50
Outcome Description
HiSCR90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula count, relative to Baseline.
Outcome Time Frame
At Week 16
Outcome Measure
Proportion of patients achieving HiSCR90
Outcome Description
IHS4 score is calculated by the number of nodules (multiplied by 1) plus the number of abscesses (multiplied by 2) plus the number of draining tunnels (multiplied by 4). A total score of 3 or less signifies mild disease, 4 to 10 signifies moderate disease, and 11 or higher signifies severe disease.
Outcome Time Frame
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 16
Outcome Measure
Change from Baseline in International HS Severity Score System (IHS4)
Outcome Description
An abscess is a circumscribed collection of purulent exudates frequently associated with swelling, erythema, and other signs of inflammation, such as fluctuance, tenderness, and pain. An inflammatory nodule is a raised, deep-seated, three-dimensional, round nodule, greater than 10 mm in diameter. It is tender and erythematous without evidence of fluctuance.
Outcome Time Frame
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 16
Outcome Measure
Change from Baseline in total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count
Outcome Description
Draining fistula is defined as a pathologic passageway connecting to the skin surface from dermis or subcutaneous tissue that drains serous or purulent fluid, either spontaneously or by gentle palpation.
Outcome Time Frame
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 16
Outcome Measure
Change from Baseline in draining fistula count
Outcome Description
The skin pain NRS is a single-item measure to capture the patient's self-reported skin pain severity by rating the worst level of skin pain in the last 24 hours as a number on a numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).
Outcome Time Frame
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 16
Outcome Measure
Percentage of patients achieving at least a 30% reduction and at least a 1-unit reduction from Baseline on a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain (PGA Skin Pain) among subjects with Baseline NRS ≥3 (NRS30)
Outcome Description
The number of patients with flares will be programmatically calculated based on the assessed lesion counts. A flare is defined as ≥ 25% increase in AN count plus an increase of ≥ 2 in AN count compared to Baseline.
Outcome Time Frame
From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16
Outcome Measure
Percentage of patients with flares
Outcome Description
The incidence of patients with AVTX-009 anti-drug antibodies (ADA).
Outcome Time Frame
From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 20
Outcome Measure
AVTX-009 anti-drug antibodies (ADA)
Outcome Description
Incidence of adverse events (AEs).
Outcome Time Frame
From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 20
Outcome Measure
Safety and tolerability of AVTX-009
