This is a double blind (sponsor unblind), repeat dose, randomized, parallel group, placebo controlled study to assess the pharmacokinetic parameters, safety, tolerability, and clinical effect of topically applied umeclidinium following once daily topical administration to axilla for 14 days in subjects with primary axillary hyperhidrosis. This study will determine whether topically applied umeclidinium can decrease hyperhidrosis without systemic anticholinergic effects (ie. in the range or lower to those obtained after inhaled route) at the highest possible concentration. Subjects will be dosed by site staff each night immediately before bedtime for 14 days. Subjects will complete gravimetric and Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) measurements, patient reported outcomes (PRO), safety assessments, and/or pharmacokinetic sampling. Follow up visits will occur on days 15, 16, 19, 23 and 28. The total duration of the study will be approximately 6 to 8 weeks. The study is planned to enroll approximately 24 subjects.

Umeclidinium (GSK573719) 1.85% will be supplied as a clear, colorless solution, free from visible particulates, for topical application. This formulation will be available at a concentration of 18.5 milligrams (mg) umeclidinium parent per gram. 2 mg of this formulation will be applied per square centimeter of the axilla, once a day at night before going to bed for 14 days. The total amount of formulation applied daily to both axillae is expected to range between approximately 204 and 680 mg. Total daily dosage of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (umeclidinium parent) to both axillae will range between approximately 3.8 and 12.6 mg. If certain pre-specified criteria for safety and tolerability are met, consideration will be given to decreasing the dose by decreasing the concentration of the topical formulation to 1.15% for the remaining subjects. This lower strength formulation will contain 11.5 mg parent per gram.
The vehicle will be supplied as a clear, colorless solution, free from visible particulates, for topical application. This formulation will be similar to the umeclidinium formulation except that it will be devoid of the umeclidinium parent. 2 mg of the vehicle will be applied per square centimeter of the axilla, once a day at night before going to bed for 14 days. The total amount of vehicle applied daily to both axillae is expected to range between approximately 204 and 680 mg.

Change From Baseline in Amount of Sweat Produced at Day 15
Amount of sweat produced was determined by gravimetry analysis for axilla. Filter paper in a sealed container was weighed. After drying the axillary surface, the filter paper was removed from the container and applied to the axilla. The paper was covered with plastic wrap and tape around the edges with paper tape. The filter paper was left in contact with the axilla for a period of 5 minutes as measured by a stopwatch. The filter paper was then replaced in the sealed container and re-weighed. Rate of sweat production was calculated in milligrams/minute (mg/min). Participants remained at rest for 20-30 minute before the measurements in order to reduce external interference. Measurements were carried out in a climate-controlled environment (21-24°C). Assessments conducted at Day 1, Pre-dose time point (average pre-dose measurements for both left and right measurements) were considered as Baseline values. Change from baseline was calculated as Day 15 value minus Baseline value.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose, Day 1) and Day 15

The filter paper was left in contact with the axilla for a period of 5 minutes as measured by a stopwatch. The filter paper was then replaced in the sealed container and re-weighed. Rate of sweat production was calculated in milligrams/minute. Assessments conducted at Day 1, Pre-dose time point (average pre-dose measurements for both left and right measurements) were considered as Baseline values. Percent change from Baseline= 100 x ( Day 15 value - Baseline value) / Baseline value. The percentage of participants with cutpoints (-30%, -50, -75%) for percent change from Baseline in sweat production were presented.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose, Day 1) and Day 15
Change in Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) at Day 15
The HDSS is a 4-point scale which used to assess the impact of disease. The scores were define as, 1- My (underarm) sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily Activities; 2- My (underarm) sweating is tolerable but sometimes interferes with my daily activities; 3- My (underarm) sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities; 4- My (underarm) sweating is intolerable and always interferes with my daily activities. Average score of both left and right underarms were used for analysis. The possible average score range from 1 (minimum) to 4 (maximum). The reduction in score on the scale presents betterment and increase in the score represents worsening. Assessments conducted at Day 1, pre-dose time point (average pre-dose measurements for both left and right underarm measurements) were considered as Baseline values. Change from baseline was calculated as Day 15 Visit Value minus Baseline values.
