1 DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOLOGY, ROSKILDE, DENMARK An update from the HISTORIC initiative Linnea Thorlacius, MD, PhD student CSG-COUSIN, Berlin, January 9

2 DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOLOGY, ROSKILDE HOSPITAL, DENMARK AGENDA Hidradenitis suppurativa - a deliberating skin disease The HISTORIC initiative Method Preliminary results Discussion

3 HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA (HS): Is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease, characterised by repeated outbreaks of painful inflamed lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing regions Has an estimated prevalence of 1-4 % worldwide Is associated with significant disability and handicap due to pain and subsequent loss of mobility Is often accompanied by embarrassment, disabling social stigma, low self-worth and a strong negative impact on interpersonal relationships, education and work

4 BACKGROUND Reported outcome measures for HS are numerous and diverse A recent systematic review found a total of 30 outcome measure instruments in 12 RCTs 90 % of these outcome measure instruments lacked any form of validation data

5 HISTORIC

6 First HISTORIC goal Aim To develop a Core Outcome Set (COS) suitable for trials on the management of HS. All types of interventions for all HS patients are targeted by the COS, regardless of setting or mode of administration.

7 METHOD DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOLOGY, ROSKILDE HOSPTIAL, DENMARK

8 Stakeholder involvement 6 groups of stakeholders were invited: 1.Patients 2.Dermatologist HS 3.Surgeons HS 4.Nurses HS specialist 5.Industry representatives 6.Drug regulatory authorities A 1:1 ratio of patients: health care professionals (HCPs) was aimed for Participants (Accepted/Invited) HS Experts 59/138 -Medical 49/120 -Surgical 3/11 -Nursing 4/7 Patients 45/58 Industry 2/2 Regulatory 1/3 Total 104/196 Countries 19/23 Continents 5/4.

9 Delphi Round 1: Online 9 days August Please rate each of the following outcomes listed on their importance in being measured as an outcome in all clinical trials for HS. The following scale may be used to rate importance: 1-3: not important to measure in all clinical trials for HS 4-6: important, but not essential to measure in all clinical trials for HS 7-9: essential to measure in all clinical trials for HS You may also provide a brief rationale for your score on any item. You may also suggest a modification of definition or wording of any item. You may also add any outcome which you feel are missing from the list shown, and score them using the same scale

13 HISTORIC consensus meetings I and II 39 participants from 13 countries and 4 continents

14 DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOLOGY, ROSKILDE, DENMARK HISTORIC consensus meetings I and II Main tasks Marking of items for exclusion Grouping if items into domains Mixture of formal presentations and group work based on nominal group theory

15 DEPARTMENT OF DERMATOLOGY, ROSKILDE HOSPTIAL, DENMARK Items marked for exclusion Item Self-treatment - not prescribed Biomarkers Cosmesis Washing or bathing Comedones Dyspigmentation Satisfaction with care Economic burden Comorbidities Reasoning for exclusion Too non-specific, difficult to measure For HS, there is no biomarker proven to be strongly related to disease activity and treatment response Participating patients felt that this items was not as important as other items, and felt that cosmesis was coved by other items such as scarring and number of sinus tracts Very individual. Could be an instrument to measure drainage, but would then be covered by the drainage item Participants, especially patients, felt that this item was not important enough to be a core outcome for trials Participants, especially patients, felt that this item was not important enough to be a core outcome for trials Not likely to be directly affected as an outcome by any intervention. and often depends on individual doctor-patient relationships. Difficult to measure, varies a lot from country to country, in trials treatment expenses are covered Not fair to include comorbidities as core outcomes as some treatments might improve HS but not the comorbidities. Comorbidities that might result from treatment should be captured as adverse events.
