Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin presenting with recurrent inflammatory nodules, cysts, abscesses, sinus tracts, and scar formation. Combined medical and surgical management is often required. The only Food and Drug Administration‒approved treatment for HS, adalimumab, is a mAb targeting TNF-α (Alikhan et al., 2019a, 2019b; Kimball et al., 2016). The use of golimumab, another fully humanized TNF-α inhibitor, has been described in two cases of HS with mixed results (Tursi, 2016; van der Zee and Prens, 2013). Early in vivo and in vitro studies showed that golimumab has a higher affinity for transmembrane and soluble TNF-α receptors than adalimumab and infliximab, suggesting it as a potential treatment option (Cunningham et al., 2019; Flamant et al., 2017; Shealy et al., 2010).This retrospective cohort study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Patients treated with golimumab for HS were identified through clinical tracking lists in the electronic medical record. Data collected from March 2018 to August 2020 included demographics and clinical data, including golimumab treatment history. Inclusion criteria required a minimum of 10 weeks of golimumab treatment at a dose of the higher of either 2 mg/kg or 200 mg, typically at week 0, week 2, and every 4 weeks. Selection and information biases were addressed by screening for a representative cohort and by establishing clear variables for data collection.
