Treat-to-target: optimizing outcomes for hidradenitis suppurativa
Abstract
The concept of treat-to-target (T2T) is described in the setting of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a condition requiring this approach to improve symptoms and potentially prevent disease progression and scarring. A T2T algorithm is outlined using the Investigator’s Global Assessment and HiSQOL to measure disease activity and drive treatment switches when the response is insufficient.
