This study looks at how well a medicine called brensocatib works for adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). HS is a skin condition that causes painful lumps under the skin. Brensocatib is compared to a placebo, which is a pill with no medicine. To join, you need to have had HS for at least 6 months and have at least 6 inflamed lumps. You can't join if you've had certain treatments or medical conditions recently. The study will help see if brensocatib can reduce HS symptoms, but there might be risks involved. Participants are checked by doctors and may need to visit the study site several times.

• **Study Length:** Participation lasts for several months with multiple visits.
• **Compensation:** Participants may receive compensation for their time and travel.
• **Risks:** Possible side effects from the medication or placebo.
