Summary
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of intralesional triamcinolone for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)
Participants: Patients diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa that have active inflammatory HS lesions. Up to 60 lesions will be treated. Between 20 and 60 patients will be enrolled dependent on the number of lesions they have treated. (up to 3 per patient)
Procedures (methods): Injection of triamcinolone or placebo into active lesions of hidradenitis suppurativa
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Male and females > or = 16 years of age
- Diagnosis or history of clinical features consistent with hidradenitis suppurativa for >1 year
- Patient must have an inflammatory lesion at the time of treatment. This can be an inflammatory nodule defined by a tender, palpable subcutaneous nodule, or an abscess defined as as fluctuant, painful, subcutaneous nodule. Lesions greater than 2 centimeters in size will not be excluded. Inflammatory nodules or abscesses can be treated if they are associated with a sinus tract, which is a chronic HS lesion defined by tunneled lesion with multiple openings to the surface of the skin. Sinus tracts without associated nodules or abscesses will not be treatment targets.
- Patient must be off of antibiotics or on a stable course of oral antibiotics for >4 weeks prior to the baseline visit. Allowable antibiotics during treatment course are topical clindamycin, topical chlorhexidine gluconate, oral doxycycline, oral minocycline, or oral clindamycin +/- rifampin.
- Must be able to provide adequate informed consent for themselves
Exclusion Criteria
- Any patient with signs of active infection at the time of screening that is not related to their hidradenitis suppurativa
- Patients who have been on non-permitted antibiotics in the 4 weeks prior to baseline. Allowable antibiotics during treatment course are topical clindamycin, topical chlorhexidine gluconate, oral doxycycline, oral minocycline, or oral clindamycin +/- rifampin.
- Patients who have had surgical intervention of the treated body region (i.e., right axilla) beyond incision and drainage procedures in the last 8 weeks or with open surgical wounds in the treatment region.
- Patients who have been started on immunomodulatory or biologic treatment (i.e., adalimumab, infliximab) in the past 4 weeks
- Patients on non-stable doses of opiate analgesics for the last 14 days prior to screening
- Patients with history of hypersensitivity reactions to triamcinolone
- Ongoing health or physical exam concerns which the investigator feels may put the patient at significant risk
