Abstract

Adalimumab is the only FDA- and EMA-approved treatment for moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), where etanercept and certolizumab-pegol have been shown to be inefficacious, suggesting that the mechanism of action (MOA) of adalimumab is distinct in HS and may contribute to improved wound healing. We have demonstrated that adalimumab, but neither etanercept nor certolizumab-pegol, induces a wound healing profile in vitro by regulating macrophage differentiation and matrix metalloproteinase expression which may underlie the difference in efficacy between various anti-TNF agents.
