- Percentage of Participants Achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16 ]HiSCR is defined as at least a 50% reduction from Baseline in the total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count, with no increase in abscess or draining fistula counts.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 30% Reduction and ≥ 1 Unit Reduction From Baseline in Patient's Global Assessment (PGA) of Skin Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) at Week 8 Among Participants With Baseline Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ≥ 3 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 8 ]NRS30 is evaluated based on worst skin pain in a 24-hour recall period (maximal daily pain), ranging from 0 (no skin pain) to 10 (skin pain as bad as you can imagine). The percentage of participants who achieved at least 30% reduction and at least 1 unit reduction from Baseline at Week 8 in the PGA of Skin Pain (NRS30) - at worst, among participants with Baseline NRS ≥ 3, is presented.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 30% Reduction and ≥ 1 Unit Reduction From Baseline in PGA of Skin Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) at Week 16 Among Participants With Baseline Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ≥ 3 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]NRS30 is evaluated based on worst skin pain in a 24-hour recall period (maximal daily pain), ranging from 0 (no skin pain) to 10 (skin pain as bad as you can imagine). The percentage of participants who achieved at least 30% reduction and at least 1 unit reduction from Baseline at Week 16 in the PGA of Skin Pain (NRS30) - at worst, among participants with Baseline NRS ≥ 3, is presented.
- Percentage of Participants Who Experienced ≥ 25% Increase in Abscess and Inflammatory Nodule (AN) Counts in Period A With a Minimum Increase of 2 Relative to Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]
- Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of HS disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. DLQI scores range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating a more impaired QoL.
- Change From Baseline in HS-Related Swelling Based on the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Symptom Assessment (HSSA) Swollen Skin Score at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]HSSA is a 9-item participant-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire developed to assess the symptoms of HS. HS-related swelling is scored on an 11-point NRS, where 0 represents no symptoms and 10 represents extreme symptom experience.
- Change From Baseline in HS-Related Odor Based on the HSSA Bad Smell Score at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]HSSA is a 9-item PRO questionnaire developed to assess the symptoms of HS. HS-related odor is scored on an 11-point NRS, where 0 represents no symptoms and 10 represents extreme symptom experience.
- Change From Baseline in HS-Related Worst Drainage Based on the HSSA Worst Drainage Score at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]HSSA is a 9-item PRO questionnaire developed to assess the symptoms of HS. HS-related worst drainage is scored on an 11-point NRS, where 0 represents no symptoms and 10 represents extreme symptom experience.
