About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind Vehicle-Controlled Comparator Study of the Effect of Glycopyrrolate and Glycopyrronium in Subjects With Axillary Hyperhidrosis

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of 2 doses of glycopyrrolate compared to 2 doses of glycopyrronium and vehicle (5 treatment arms) for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis when applied once daily for 4 weeks followed by a 2-week post-dose period.

Read the detailed description

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 2-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 4

    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)

    Measured: Baseline - Week 4/ET

  2. Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 1-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 4

    Measured: Baseline - Week 4

  3. Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 1-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 6

    Measured: Baseline - Week 6

  4. Absolute Change in the Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline to 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.

    Measured: Baseline - Week 4

  5. Absolute Change in the Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline to Week 6

    Measured: Baseline - Week 6

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least 50% Reduction in Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline at Week 4

    Measured: Baseline - Week 4

  2. Percentage of Subjects Who Had at Least 50% Reduction in Gravimetrically Measured Sweat Production From Baseline at Week 6

    Measured: Baseline - Week 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dose 1 of glycopyrrolate, 2.0% QD, Dose 2 of glycopyrrolate, 3.0% QD and Dose 1 of glycopyrronium, 2.5% QD in people with Hyperhidrosis, run by Journey Medical Corporation at 15 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Sep 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Subjects Who Have a Minimum 2-grade Improvement in HDSS From Baseline at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline - Week 4/ET). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02129660, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2025.
