Overview
ANIMA-R is an observational, prospective, non-interventional, multicenter study to assess real-world effectiveness of secukinumab in the treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).
Description
The index date will be the date of secukinumab initiation. During the study, data will be collected from patients receiving routine secukinumab treatment, which is representative of the actual patient population.
The attending physician will decide whether to prescribe secukinumab based on the approved instructions for medical use in a routine clinical setting, regardless of the patient's participation in a non-interventional study.
