Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Hyperhidrosis | Drug: Dose 1 of glycopyrrolate, 2.0% QD Drug: Dose 2 of glycopyrrolate, 3.0% QD Drug: Dose 1 of glycopyrronium, 2.5% QD Drug: Dose 2 of glycopyrronium, 3.75% QD Other: Vehicle | Phase 2 |
This is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle controlled, parallel group, comparator study designed to assess the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of two doses of glycopyrrolate compared to two doses of glycopyrronium compared to vehicle, 5 treatment arms.
Efficacy will be assessed through gravimetric assessment of sweat production using Patient Reported Outcome and the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Score (HDSS).
Safety will be assessed through adverse events, local skin responses, serum chemistry and hematology laboratory testing, ECGs, physical examination and vital signs.
PK blood samples will be taken study subjects.

- Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 2-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 4/ET ]
HDSS is a disease specific diagnostic tool that provides a qualitative measure of the severity of the subjects' condition based on how it affects daily activities.
1 (Best), 2, 3, 4 (Worst)
- Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 1-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 4 ]
- Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 1-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 6 ]
- Absolute Change in the Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 4 ]Subjects are acclimated to the environment for 30 minutes. Dry gauze is weighed. The dry gauze is then applied to the subject's axilla with the arm down by the subject's side or on their lap during the 5-minute period of sweat production. The gauze with the sweat is then weighed. The difference between the Weight of the gauze with sweat and the dry gauze is the gravimetric sweat measurement in mg/5min.
- Absolute Change in the Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline to Week 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 6 ]
- Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least 50% Reduction in Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 4 ]
- Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least 50% Reduction in Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline - Week 6 ]
