Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 10

1. Ability to comprehend and willingness to sign a written ICF for the study
2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the ICF
3. Diagnosis of moderate to severe HS for at least 3 months prior to the screening visit
4. Total abscess and inflammatory nodule count of at least 5 at both the screening and baseline visits
5. HS lesions in at least 2 distinct anatomical areas (examples include but are not limited to left and right axilla or left and right inguinocrural fold), 1 of which must be at least Hurley Stage II or Hurley Stage III, at both the screening and baseline visits
6. Documented history of inadequate response to at least a 3-month course of at least 1 conventional systemic therapy (oral antibiotic or biologic drug) for HS (or demonstrated intolerance to, or have a contraindication to, a conventional systemic therapy for treatment of their HS)
7. Agreement to NOT use topical and systemic antibiotics for treatment of HS during the placebo-controlled period (unless the systemic antibiotic rescue criterion is met)
8. Agreement to NOT use a diluted bleach bath or topical antiseptic washes containing chlorhexidine gluconate or benzoyl peroxide on the areas affected by HS lesions during the placebo-controlled period. Note: Over-the-counter soap and water is allowed
9. Agreement to use contraception
10. Willing and able to comply with the study protocol and procedures

Exclusion criteria 15

1. Presence of > 20 draining tunnels (fistulas) at either the screening or baseline visit
2. Women who are pregnant (or who are considering pregnancy) or breastfeeding
3. Concurrent conditions or history of other diseases (as per section 5.2 of the protocol)
4. A screening 12-lead ECG that demonstrates clinically significant abnormalities requiring treatment (eg, acute myocardial infarction, serious tachyarrhythmias or bradyarrhythmias) or that is indicative of serious underlying heart disease (eg, cardiomyopathy, major congenital heart disease, low voltage in all leads, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) or criteria associated with Q wave interval (QT)/Fridericia-corrected Q wave interval (QTcF) abnormalities
5. Have undergone significant trauma or major surgery (per investigator's assessment) within 30 days preceding the screening visit
6. History of clinically significant (per investigator's judgment) drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months preceding the screening visit.
7. History of treatment failure with any systemic or topical JAK inhibitor for HS or any other inflammatory condition
8. Receipt of medical treatment or investigational drugs before the baseline visit within the intervals specified in section 5.2 of the protocol
9. At the screening visit, any of the laboratory abnormalities defined in the protocol Table 9
10. Evidence of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
11. Active HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Active HIV is defined as confirmed positive anti-HIV antibody test
12. Evidence of HBV or HCV infection or risk of reactivation
13. Known hypersensitivity or severe reaction to povorcitinib or excipients of povorcitinib and/or other products in the same class
14. Any condition, laboratory result, or result of screening assessments that would, in the investigator's and sponsor's (or designee's) judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits, pose a significant risk to the participant, or interfere with interpretation of study data
15. The following participants are excluded in France: vulnerable populations according to article L.1121-6 of the French Public Health Code and adults under legal protection or who are unable to express their consent per article L.1121-8 of the French Public Health Code
