Hi All - I reached out to Revance, the company that is working on a long lasting Botox and a Topical Botox (RT001 and RT002). Please see the communcation below. I think that everyone should reach out to this company to express the need for a topical solution.
My initial inquiry:
Hello, I am writing to see if there is a contact person who is able to give updates on the current clinical trials. I know that there is some research being done on Hyperhidrosis and I am wondering if there is any intention of researching the topical gel for palmar/plantar hyperhidrosis as well. I would like to express that there is an extreme need amongst palmar/plantar hyperhidrosis patients for a long-lasting topical solution to blocking sweat glands. Current treatment options are very limited or typically reserved for axillary HH, so please consider researching this for patients suffering from this condition. Any information or a direct contact would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Revance's Response:
At this time, we do not have any hyperhidrosis clinical trials slated for 2018 and no current plans for palmar/plantar hyperhidrosis studies. If that should change, I will reach out. Please note that we also update clinicaltrials.gov with the studies we ae conducting. The International Hyperhidrosis Society (https://www.sweathelp.org/) is also a great resource for the latest information about hyperhidrosis clinical trials. I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Melissa
