• Modified Sartorius Score: Change From Baseline to Each Visit for Participants in the EW/EW/EW Analysis Population

  The Sartorius Scale is used to quantify the severity of HS. Points are awarded for 12 body areas (left and right axillae, left and right sub/inframammary areas, intermammary area, left and right buttocks, left and right inguino-crural folds, perianal area, perineal area, and other): points were awarded for nodules (2 points for each); abscesses (4 points); fistulas (4 points); scars (1 point); other findings (1 point); and longest distance between two lesions (2-6 points, 0 if no lesions); and if lesions are separated by normal skin (yes-0 points; no-6 points). The total Sartorius score is the sum of the 12 regional scores. Higher scores indicate greater severity of HS. A negative change indicates decrease in severity. LOCF: The last completed evaluation from the previous visit was carried forward to impute missing data at later visits.

• Percentage of Participants in the EW/EW/EW Analysis Population Achieving Skin Pain NRS30 - At Worst at Each Visit Among Participants With Baseline Skin Pain NRS At Worst ≥ 3

  The Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was used to assess the worst skin pain and the average skin pain due to HS. Ratings for the 2 items range from 0 (no skin pain) to 10 (skin pain as bad as you can imagine). The assessments were completed on a daily diary by participants before they went to bed and responded to the items based on a recall period of the "last 24 hours." The percentage of participants who achieved at least 30% reduction and at least 1 unit reduction from Baseline in the Patient's Global Assessment of Skin Pain (NRS30) - at worst at each visit among participants with baseline skin pain NRS - at worst ≥ 3 are presented. Weekly averages of daily assessments were analyzed. LOCF: The last completed evaluation from the previous visit was carried forward to impute missing data at later visits.
