Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Achieving Hidradenitis Suppurative Clinical Response (HiSCR) 75
At Week 16

HiSCR 75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline.

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to Approximately Week 62

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Hidradenitis Suppurative Clinical Response (HiSCR)
Week 16

HiSCR is defined as at least a 50% reduction from Baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula-count relative to Baseline.

Secondary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Achieving Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 30 among Participants with Baseline NRS >=3
At Week 8
Change from Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) among participants ≥ 16 years of age at Baseline
At Week 16
Change from Baseline in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Impact Assessment (HSIA)
