Summary

This trial is testing bermekimab, a medicine made from human antibodies, in people with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). HS is a painful skin condition, and bermekimab aims to reduce inflammation by blocking a protein called IL-1 alpha. The study will last several months and will monitor safety and effectiveness.

From Week 12, participants will receive bermekimab dose 2 SC and placebo SC every other week thereafter through Week 30. During weeks in which bermekimab is not administered, participants will receive placebo SC through Week 31.

Group II: Part 2 (Group 3): Bermekimab Dose 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants will receive bermekimab dose 1 SC at Week 0 and every week thereafter through Week 11. From Week 12, participants will receive bermekimab dose 1 SC every other week thereafter through Week 30. During weeks in which bermekimab is not administered, participants will receive placebo SC through Week 31.

Group III: Part 2 (Group 2): Bermekimab Dose 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will receive bermekimab dose 1 SC at Week 0 and every week thereafter through Week 31.

Group IV: Part 1 (Group 3): Bermekimab Dose 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants will receive bermekimab dose 1 SC and placebo SC at Week 0, followed by bermekimab dose 1 SC at Week 1 and every week thereafter through Week 31.

Group V: Part 1 (Group 2): AdalimumabActive Control2 Interventions

Participants will receive adalimumab 160 milligrams (mg) SC at Week 0, placebo SC at Week 1, followed by adalimumab 80 mg SC and placebo SC at Weeks 2 and 3. Participants will then receive adalimumab 40 mg SC and placebo SC at Week 4 and every week thereafter through Week 31.

Group VI: Part 2 (Group 1): PlaceboPlacebo Group2 Interventions
