Changing for HS

Like the tides,

hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) can cause painful skin symptoms that come and go. Researchers want to better understand how to steady these waters. By joining the LATITUDE HS Study, you could help create ripples of change that reach far beyond your own experience. See if the study is right for you.

Did You Know?

HS is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful skin lesions. These lesions develop on parts of the body where skin touches skin, such as the armpits, inner thighs, and the groin area.1, 2 Researchers want to help.
What causes HS is still unknown, but it may start when hair follicles become clogged with keratin, a protein found in skin, hair, and nails. This can lead to trapped sweat and bacteria that cause painful lesions that may eventually break open and leave scars.1 Because there is still so much to learn about HS, continued research is important.
HS can be difficult to diagnose, and it often takes a long time to get the right diagnosis, which can make the experience even more frustrating and stressful for those affected.1
HS can have a significant psychological and emotional impact on individuals—it may affect self-esteem, body image, and social interactions.1, 2 Researchers hear you and are looking for answers.
People of every gender and skin color can develop HS—and it may look different depending on the person. That’s why it’s important for people from all backgrounds to participate in HS research.

Join us on the journey to explore HS with the LATITUDE HS Study.

About the LATITUDE HS Study

The LATITUDE HS Study is evaluating the effectiveness and safety of an investigational oral treatment for adults with HS.

Participants will receive the investigational oral treatment or a placebo (a substance that looks like the investigational treatment but does not contain any active ingredients) while completing various study tests and procedures. Participants originally assigned to the placebo group will have the opportunity to switch to the investigational oral treatment during the study. All study treatments will be given orally.

Neither participants nor the study staff will know if participants are receiving the investigational treatment or placebo. Participants should plan to attend up to 12 scheduled study visits over the course of approximately 61 weeks.
