PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: All subjects treated with the N-SWEAT Patch (roll-in and randomized) were combined into a single population for the safety analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: This was conducted on the Efficacy Cohort which included only randomized/blinded subjects. Those treated in the roll-in cohort was not included in the efficacy analyses were aware of the treatment arm to which they were assigned. Additionally, subjects who were found to have been enrolled while taking a conflicting medication were excluded from the efficacy analysis in order to isolate the true device effect.

Achievement of Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) score of 1 or 2 at 4 weeks. HDSS is a disease-specific diagnostic tool that provides a qualitative measure of the severity of the patient's condition based on how it affects daily activities. HDSS 3 or 4 are generally considered to have a clinically significant case and those with HDSS 1 or 2 are considered to have mild to no evidence of hyperhidrosis. SCALE: 1 - My sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activities 2- My sweating is tolerable but sometimes interferes with my daily activities 3- My sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities 4- My sweating is intolerable and and always interferes with my daily activities

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: The efficacy population was defined in efficacy primary outcome section. It included randomized subjects who were not taking any conflicting medications.

Two Quality of Life (QoL) Assessments were conducted as part of this endpoint. The Level of Bother: Subjects were asked how much their sweat bothered them on a Scale of 1 (not at all bothered by sweating) to 5 (extremely bothered by sweating). The Impact of Sweat on Daily Activities: Subjects were asked how much their sweating impacts their daily activities on a scale of 1 (not at all impacted) to 5 (extremely impacted). The mean improvement of each of these was calculated by comparing the mean baseline level to the mean level at 4 weeks. The mean change in the level of improvement was analyzed for significance. A larger decrease in these levels, i.e. less bother and less impact, (indicated by a larger negative number) will show the most improvement in QoL.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: This endpoint defined by the study protocol was for at least 50% of the treated subjects to achieve a reduction in GSP of 50% or more, thus, the sham population was not included in this analysis. Moreover, the GSP measurement (unlike the HDSS or the QoL measurements) required the subjects to report back to the clinic at 4-weeks. Only 43 of the 44 N-SWEAT treated subjects in the efficacy population reported for the 4-week visit.

Gravimetric Sweat Production (GSP) measures the amount of sweat that is produced in a 5-minute period. The percentage of treated subjects with at least a 50% reduction in mean GSP (mean of both axilla) from baseline to 4 weeks was analyzed for this endpoint.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4-weeks

Patients with a 2-point decrease in HDSS indicate improvement in sweating. HDSS is a disease-specific diagnostic tool that provides a qualitative measure of the severity of the patient's condition based on how it affects daily activities. HDSS 3 or 4 are generally considered to have a clinically significant case and those with HDSS 1 or 2 are considered to have mild to no evidence of hyperhidrosis. SCALE: 1 - My sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activities 2- My sweating is tolerable but sometimes interferes with my daily activities 3- My sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities 4- My sweating is intolerable and always interferes with my daily activities
