E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The study aim is to assess and compare treatment effect of MWT and BTX-A for axillary hyperhidrosis with focus on longevity. We also aim to assess patient satisfaction, local skin responses and adverse reactions in relation to treatment. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Substudy, V1, 16.02.21 Optionally, up to 12 patients will be included in a sub-study investigating the axillary tissue characteristics with histological assessment with punch biopsies, and supplemented by OCT-imaging, both at baseline and after treatment with MWT and BTX-A. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Eligible patients for this study must meet the following criteria: 1) Subject has provided written informed consent 2) Subject is 18 years of age or older 3) A unilateral HDSS score of 3 or 4 for each axilla 4) A gravimetric measurement of at least 50 mg/5 min for women and 100 mg/5 min for men in at least one axilla. The contralateral axilla should not be below 40 mg (women) and 80 mg (men). 5) Women of childbearing potential must be confirmed not pregnant by a negative u-HCG prior to study treatment and must use a safe contraceptive method at baseline. |
