The company studied the experimental drug in Hidradenitis Suppurative (HS) and Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU). It was aimed at evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics profile of INF904.

While Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease that causes painful, boil-like lumps to form under the skin, Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a skin condition characterized by recurrent, itchy hives (wheals) and/or swelling (angioedema) that lasts for six weeks or longer.

The company said that the data provide a strong rationale for further development of the drug in both these diseases.
