Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Hypertonic Saline

23.4% Hypertonic Saline injection(s) with a maximum of 0.6cc per treatment. If necessary every two weeks, with a maximum of three treatments.

Drug: 23.4% Hypertonic saline
Other Names:
  • 23.4% sodium chloride
  • Placebo Comparator: Saline (Placebo)

    If a patient has two active HS sites with fistulas or sinus tracts, patients will be their own control. Injection with normal saline (placebo) in one site randomly allocated by side. The subject and ultrasound operator will be blinded to the treatment allocation.

    Drug: Saline
    Other Names:
  • 0.9% sodium chloride
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Fistula/Sinus Tract Length [8 weeks]

      The clinical efficacy will be assessed by measuring change in length of the fistulas and/or sinus tracts using ultrasound from baseline at week 8.

    2. Fistula/Sinus Tract Lumen Diameter [8 weeks]

      The clinical efficacy will be assessed by measuring change in diameter of the lumen of the fistulas and/or sinus tracts using ultrasound from baseline at week 8.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Improvement Assessment [8 weeks]

      This non-validated assessment is based on the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale and allows the physician and the subject to score multiple hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) symptoms on a scale from 'extremely worse' to 'very much improved' compared to baseline.

    2. Numeric Rating Scale for Pain/Stinging [1 hour]

      Self-reported pain and stinging intensity during and directly after treatment with Hypertonic saline injections.
