A Randomized Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Secukinumab with Tofacitinib in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Chinese Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy secukimumab versus tofacitinib in patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)in adults. It will also learn about the safety of secukimumab and tofacitinib. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Which treatment is more effective in patients with moderate to severe HS?
* What medical problems do participants have when taking secukimumab versus tofacitinib? Researchers will compare secukimumab versus tofacitinib to see which treatment works better to treat moderate to severe HS.

Participants will:

* Half of participants will take secukimumab every week in the first month and every four weeks thereafter till 1 year
* Another half of participants will take tofacitinib a tablet daily for 1 year
* Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests in the first month, and every 4 weeks thereafter
* Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use a rescue inhaler
