Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Efficacy will be evaluated using the included Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Index (HSSI). [13 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate the role of TNF alpha in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa. [13 weeks]
- To evaluate the ability of adalimumab to maintain suppression of the disease. [13 weeks]
