Study summary

The InMode radio frequency Pro System with the Morpheus8 Applicator is a computerized system generating radio frequency energy, based on the underlying technology of Fractional RF. The Morpheus8 Applicator and 24 pin tip is used for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis of the axillae

Read the detailed description

Study subjects will be consecutively screened and enrolled into the study. The study will consist of an active group that will receive 2 treatments with the InMode radio frequency Pro System with the Morpheus8 Applicator (with the 24 pin tip) and a sham group that will receive 2 sham treatments with the same InMode radio frequency Pro System and Morpheus8 Applicator (with a sham 24 pin tip). Treatment will be performed in a preheated controlled environment (T°≥22°C). Follow up visits will occur at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post treatment

Inclusion criteria

Subject is 18 years of age or older at the time of consent.

  • Subject reports a quality-of-life rating of 3 or 4 on the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS).
  • Subject has primary focal axillary hyperhidrosis evidenced by at least 6 months of visible, detectable, focal, exaggerated sweating without any apparent explanation and at least two of the following:
  • Bilateral and relatively symmetric
  • Impairs daily activities
  • Frequency of at least one episode per week
  • Age of onset less than 25 years old

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Subject has secondary hyperhidrosis due to medications, infections, or endocrinopathy.

  • Poorly controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid dysfunction and hormonal virilization.
  • Severe concurrent conditions such as cardiac disorders epilepsy, uncontrolled hypertension, and liver or kidney diseases.
  • Any active skin condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema and rash.
  • Swollen axillary lymph nodes.
  • History of skin disorders, keloids, abnormal wound healing, as well as very dry and fragile skin.
  • Impaired immune system due to diseases such as AIDS and , or use of immunosuppressive medications.
  • History of bleeding coagulopathies or use of anticoagulants in the last 10 days.
  • Prior endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, liposuction or other surgery for hyperhidrosis in the treated area. Injection of botulinum toxin in the treated area within one year
  • Use of Isotretinoin (Accutane®) within 6 months prior to study
  • Oral anticholinergic medication use (e.g., Robinul) or cholinomimetic medication use within the last 4 weeks or planned use during the study's follow up phase.
  • Currently participating in or recently participated in another clinical trial (within the last 30 days).
  • History of or current neurologic deficit in the treatment limb.
  • Known resistance to or history of difficulty with local anesthesia (lidocaine with epinephrine).
  • Current or history of cancer, including skin cancer, or premalignant moles.
  • Injury in the treatment area or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might make treatment unsafe.
  • Subject has a pacemaker, defibrillator or other electronic implant anywhere in the body.

  • Females who are pregnant or nursing
  • Female subjects of not willing to use an acceptable form of for the duration of the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
