ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07244263
What this study is testing
What is Zasocitinib (Dose A)?
Zasocitinib (Dose A) is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa.
Also referred to as TAK-279, NDI-034858.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
