On secondary endpoints, all doses of sofpironium bromide significantly increased the proportion of patients achieving a ≥2-grade improvement in HDSM-Ax (p<0.001); a composite responder analysis, defined as a 50% reduction in gravimetric sweat production plus a 1- or 2-grade improvement in HDSM-Ax (p<0.0006 for 1-grade and p<0.002 for 2-grade); a 1- and 2-grade improvement in the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) (p<0.05 for 1-grade and p<0.005 for 2-grade); and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score (p<0.004) vs. vehicle. Sofpironium bromide was well tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events reported...
