Any other concomitant skin disorder that may interfere with and confound the evaluation of HS or compromise participant safety. b. Current and/or history of active TB. Or current and/or history of latent TB unless adequately treated. c. Immunocompromised (eg, lymphoma, immunosuppression associated with organ transplantation, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome). d. Chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before Day 1. e. Active acute bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection (eg, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, chickenpox, clinically infected AD, impetigo) within 2 weeks before Day 1.\n-Current or history of any of the following conditions: a. Uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, including unstable angina, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, or New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, as well as uncontrolled arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, arrythmia requiring therapy or uncontrolled hypertension including elevated blood pressure (> 150 mmHg systolic or > 100 mmHg diastolic at screening and/or Day 1).

When in doubt, the investigator should consult with the medical monitor to clarify eligibility.\n-Any of the clinical laboratory test results at screening defined in protocol.\n-Positive for HIV antibody.\n-Current, acute or chronic, active HBV or HCV infection. Participants who have recovered or have been successfully treated with no evidence of active HBV or HCV infection and those who are immune due to hepatitis B vaccination can enroll. Participants who are positive for HBsAg will be eligible if they are negative for HBV DNA; participants who are positive for the anti-HCV antibody will be eligible if they are negative for HCV RNA.\n-Any other clinically significant laboratory result that, in the opinion of the investigator, poses a significant risk to the participant.\n-History of treatment failure (as assessed by the investigator through participant interview) for HS with any systemic or topical JAK inhibitor."}
