In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the topical drug clascoterone in patients with pilonidal disease, which is a common, benign skin condition of the gluteal cleft. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does clascoterone improve the severity of pilonidal disease as scored by a physician? * Does clascoterone improve patient symptoms due to pilonidal disease? * Does clascoterone improve the inflammation seen under the microscope in pilonidal disease removed at surgery Participants will apply clascoterone or a placebo cream to the diseased area for 3 months. They will be assessed every 4 weeks for disease severity assessed by a physician viewing patient photos and a symptom-based survey. Researchers will compare participants who received clascoterone treatment to those who received placebo.
