dc.description.abstractBackground: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, inflammatory, burdensome skin disease where current first-line treatments are limited to topical and/or systemic antibiotics which cannot be applied for long-term disease management. Period B of the RELIEVE study analyzes whether LAight® therapy can sustain or even increase remission after a first topical antibiotic treatment cycle. Methods: The RELIEVE study was performed as a two-period multicenter randomized controlled trial with blinded assessment. For period A from week 0 to week 16, the 88 participating Hurley I and II patients were randomized to either a group receiving topical clindamycin 1% solution combined with 8 additional bi-weekly treatments with LAight® therapy (group TC + L) or a group which was treated with topical clindamycin 1% solution only (group TC). After 16 weeks, patients entered open-label period B and both groups were treated exclusively with LAight® therapy for an additional 16 weeks (8 sessions, group TC + L/L and group TC/L). Results: In total, 88 patients were enrolled in RELIEVE. Seventy-eight patients entered period B; 39 belonged to group TC + L/L and 39 to group TC/L. The IHS4-response at the start of period B was 62% (group TC + L/L) and 33% (group TC + L). During the 16 weeks of additional monotherapy with LAight, in both groups >90% of patients who responded to therapy in period A maintained their IHS4-response at week 32. IHS4 response rates continued to rise up to 79% of the TC + L/L group and up to 71% of the TC/L group during period B at week 32. Achievement of HiSCR and certain patient reported outcomes confirmed primary endpoint results. Conclusion: LAight® therapy is an effective approved therapy option for Hurley I and II HS that can be used continuously to maintain treatment success. During 16 weeks of follow-up in period B, over 90% of patients with response after period A maintained their treatment outcome, while more than 60% of prior nonresponders gained response. The fact that LAight® therapy can be applied continuously, is very effective and is well tolerated makes it a valuable treatment tool in the design of HS long- term treatment modalities.en_GB
