Actual (reported)The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the drug spironolactone - which is used to treat acne and male pattern hair growth in women - is effective in treating hidradenitis suppurativa in females and which dose of the drug works the best. Participation in this study will take about 4 clinic visits over approximately 7 months with the option to continue for longer if desired.

Actual (reported)Proportion of patients with 2 grade improvement in Hidradenitis Suppurativa as assessed by physicians global assessment score
The proportion of patients achieving a clinical response - defined as at least a 2-grade improvement in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Physician's Global Assessment (HS-PGA) score relative to baseline at 6 months. HS-PGA is an anchored 6-stage HS-specific physician global assessment scale that was defined for use in a phase-II clinical trial. It is based on the number and type of nodules, abscesses, and fistulas.

Study visit timeline: initial visit \[consent and enrollment followed by baseline exam (0 months), 3 months, 6 months, and follow up at 7 months, with optional treatment extension period for up to one year of total treatment during which patients will follow up every 3 months The drug will be taken via oral tablets once daily for a duration of 6 months. Patients will be instructed to continue any current treatment regimen for hidradenitis suppurativa that was initiated at least 4 weeks prior to their enrollment in the study. Patients will be instructed to avoid potassium supplements and foods containing high levels of potassium, including salt substitutes, which could potentially lead to hyperkalemia. They will be instructed to avoid medications listed in the exclusion criteria.
