Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Part A: Number of Participants Who Achieved Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75) at Week 12
Part A: Baseline to Week 12

HiSCR75 was defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining fistula count.

Part B: Number of Participants Who Achieved HiSCR75 at Week 16
Part B: Baseline to Week 16

HiSCR75 was defined as at least a 75% reduction from baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule count, with no increase from baseline in abscess or draining fistula count.

Complete Response
BL to Week 10

Complete Response is defined as Yes/No by visit by meeting at least 1 of the following criteria in at least one eye: 1. Inflammatory, chorioretinal and/or inflammatory retinal vascular lesions - No such active lesions; all prior lesions appear inactive 2. ACC Count - Trace or absent (0.5+ or 0) 3. Vitreous Haze - Trace or absent (0.5+ or 0)

Frequently asked questions about Izokibep

What is izokibep used for?

Izokibep is an investigational therapy being studied for hidradenitis suppurativa and uveitis. It is not yet approved for any indication. Clinical development has focused on these inflammatory conditions, with a completed Phase 2b trial in hidradenitis suppurativa and a completed Phase 2 trial in non-anterior uveitis.

What does izokibep target?

Izokibep targets interleukin-17A (IL-17A). It is an IL-17A inhibitor, a class of agents that block this inflammatory cytokine. By inhibiting IL-17A, izokibep is designed to reduce inflammation associated with conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa and uveitis.

Who is developing izokibep?

Izokibep is being developed by ACELYRIN, INC., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker SLRN. The company is responsible for the clinical program evaluating izokibep in hidradenitis suppurativa and uveitis.

What phase is izokibep in?

Izokibep is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed a Phase 2b trial in hidradenitis suppurativa and a Phase 2 trial in non-anterior uveitis. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is izokibep in?

Izokibep has been evaluated in two completed Phase 2 trials. NCT05355805 was a Phase 2b study in hidradenitis suppurativa that enrolled 205 patients across the United States, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Spain. NCT04706741 was a Phase 2 trial in non-anterior uveitis conducted in the United States.
