Clinical and Biological Characteristics of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a common and debilitating skin disease that is poorly understood and understudied. As a result, little is known about disease prognosis and few effective treatments exist for this condition. This prospective observational cohort study aims to comprehensively characterize the clinical and biological features of HS. The results of this research will provide a basis for the development of an HS clinical classification system and identification of potential treatments for HS.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The primary aim of this study is to identify clinical and biologic characteristics of hidradenitis suppurativa. [2016-2026]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Secondary aims include correlating alterations in clinical and biological characteristics with disease status, and identifying genetic variants that predict disease progression or response to therapy. [2016-2026]
