Assessment of Efficacy and Safety of Topical Administration of 1% Glycopyrronium Bromide (GPB) in Patients With Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis and the Assessment of Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Topical Administration of 1% GPB Cream in Patients With Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 1% GPB cream after 4 weeks of treatment compared with placebo with a sufficient number of patients to obtain statistically significant results, and to assess the long-term safety of 1% GPB cream.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis with a HDSS score of 3 or 4
  • At least 50 mg of sweat production in each axilla measured gravimetrically at room temperature and at a humidity consistent with the normal climate in that area over a period of 5 minutes (patients should have acclimatized to that room for at least 30 minutes)
  • Men and women aged 18 to 65 years at the time of informed consent with a body mass index of 18-32 kg/m2
  • Able to comply with protocol requirements, including overnight stays, blood sample collections as defined in the protocol subjects
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • Known allergy to any of the components in the investigational product.
  • Hypersensitivity against glycopyrrolate
  • Secondary hyperhidrosis, for example, hyperhidrosis that is secondary to other underlying diseases including hyperthyroidism, lymphoma and malaria, climacteric hyperhidrosis.
  • Previous surgical treatment of hyperhidrosis including sympathectomy, surgical debulking of the sweat glands, subcutaneous tissue curettage and ultrasonic surgery.
  • Botulinum toxin treatment in the prior 4 months.
  • Angle closure glaucoma or its precipitation (narrow angle).
  • Mycotic, other skin infections and other dermal disorder including infection at anticipated application sites in either axilla.
  • Any condition or situation that, in the investigator's or sub-investigator's opinion, may interfere with the patient's participation in the study;

Primary outcomes

  1. Dose-confirming part: Absolute change in sweat production assessed by gravimetric measurement (GM) from Baseline (Day 1a) to Day 29 in the 1% GPB group compared with the placebo group.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1a), Day 29

  2. Long-term part (only for newly recruited patients): Absolute change in sweat production assessed by GM from Baseline (Day 1b) to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1b), Week 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Dose-confirming part: Percentage of responders assessed by the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) (≥2-point improvement from Baseline) on Day 29 in the 1% GPB group compared with the placebo group

    Time frame: Day 29

    The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) is a disease-specific, quick, and easily-understood diagnostic tool that provides a qualitative measure of the severity of the patient's condition based on how it affects daily activities. HDSS is a four item scale. A score of 1 or 2 indicates mild or moderate Hyperhidrosis. A score of 3 or 4 indicates severe Hyperhidrosis.

  2. Dose-confirming part: Percentage of responders assessed by GM at Day 29 (defined by sweat reduction of ≥50%, ≥75%, and ≥90% compared with Baseline) in the 1% GPB group compared with the placebo group

    Time frame: Day 29

  3. Long-term part: Percentage of responders assessed by the HDSS (≥2-point improvement from Baseline) at Week 12

    Time frame: Week 12

  4. Long-term part: Percentage of responders assessed by GM at Week 4 and Week 12 (defined by sweat reduction of ≥50%, ≥75%, and ≥90% compared with Baseline

    Time frame: Week 4, Week 12
