Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is open to adults with hidradenitis suppurativa who took part in a previous clinical study of a medicine called spesolimab. Participants who completed treatment can join this study.

The purpose of this study is to find out how safe spesolimab is and whether it helps people with hidradenitis suppurativa in the long-term. Participants are in this study for about 2 years and 4 months. For 2 years, participants visit the study site every 2 weeks to get spesolimab injections under the skin. At study visits, doctors check the severity of participants' hidradenitis suppurativa and collect information on any health problems of the participants.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Prior Placebo (PP)

Participants in the placebo arm of the 1368-0052 Proof of Concept Clinical (PoCC) trial received an initial 1200 mg intravenous (i.v.) loading dose of spesolimab plus subcutaneous (s.c.) placebo at Visit 1, followed by 600 mg s.c. doses of spesolimab every two weeks for the next 12 weeks. Further dosing was based on changes in HS-PGA grade assessment from baseline to week 12.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Spesolimab 1200 mg

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants in the 1368-0052 PoCC trial's placebo arm received a 1200 mg intravenous (i.v.) loading dose at Visit 1, then 600 mg s.c. every two weeks for 12 weeks.

Spesolimab 600 mg

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants in the 1368-0052 PoCC trial's active arm received a 600 mg subcutaneous (s.c.) loading dose of spesolimab at Visit 1, followed by 600 mg s.c. every two weeks for 12 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH Harmonized Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial
* Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information and consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

* Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial
* Patients who experienced study treatment-limiting adverse events during the 1368-0052 parent trial
* Severe, progressive, or uncontrolled condition such as renal, hepatic, haematological, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, cerebral, or psychiatric disease, or signs and symptoms thereof
* Any new documented active or suspected malignancy except appropriately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of uterine cervix
* Use of any restricted medication or any drug considered by the investigator likely to interfere with the safe conduct of the study since the last visit of the 1368-0052 parent trial
* History of allergy/hypersensitivity to the systemically administered trial medication agent or its excipients
* Major surgery (major according to the investigator's assessment) planned during this extension trial (e.g. hip replacement, aneurysm removal, stomach ligation), as assessed by the investigator
