About this trial
The aim of this study is to assess the real-world effects of secukinumab in adult participants with moderate-to-severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), particularly focusing on its potential impact on coronary atherosclerotic plaque progression or stability. Participants will be enrolled at a single dermatology and cardiology center in Italy and will receive secukinumab as part of their routine clinical care
