Effectiveness and safety data remain scarce. We investigated the impact of switching from ADAO to ABP 501 on disease severity and the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) in patients with HS. We analyzed clinical data on patients enrolled in the German HSBest registry. Evaluation outcomes were assessed at three time points (baseline of originator (t0), prior to switching to biosimilar (t1) and 12 to 14 weeks after switching (t2)) and included patient-reported AEs and disease severity using the International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4) score. In total, 94 patients were switched from ADAO to ABP 501. Overall, 33.3\% (n = 31/94) of the patients developed AEs and/or loss of response (LoR) within 12 to 14 weeks after switching. Of these, 61.3\% (n = 19/31) experienced LoR but no AEs, 22.6\% (n = 7/31) LoR combined with AEs and 16.1\% (n = 5/31) AEs only. Our study showed that switching HS patients from ADAO to ABP 501 does significantly affect treatment effectiveness. Switching patients who are on remission maintenance therapy should be viewed critically.}, language = {en} } @article{VaiopoulosKanakisKapsimalietal.2016, author = {Vaiopoulos, Aristeidis G. and Kanakis, Meletios A. and Kapsimali, Violetta and Vaiopoulos, Georgios and Kaklamanis, Phedon G. and Zouboulis, Christos C.}, title = {Juvenile Adamantiades-Beh{\c{c}}et disease}, series = {Dermatology}, volume = {232}, journal = {Dermatology}, number = {2}, issn = {1018-8665}, doi = {10.1159/000442667}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-196616}, pages = {129 -- 136}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Adamantiades-Beh{\c{c}}et disease (ABD) is a chronic, multisystemic, recurrent, inflammatory vascular disorder of unknown etiology.

JABD is relatively rare compared to ABD of adults, and only case reports and case studies have been published regarding this subtype of the disease. Epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of JABD are discussed in this review.}, language = {en} }
