Abbott today announced the initiation of two Phase 3 clinical trials designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational use of HUMIRA® (adalimumab) in adult patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Hidradenitis suppurativa is a difficult-to-treat, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful, recurrent abscesses, and nodules that primarily appear in the groin or under the armpits or breasts and start out as tender, swollen bumps.
