The PR calls these data positive, but that’s simply spin.
I’ve previously posted (#msg-114249260, bottom) that RVNC ought to abandon RT001—the topical botulinum toxin—and just focus on RT002—the injected botulinum toxin that was recently tested against Botox in glabellar lines (#msg-118159012).
Even if RT001 were to have efficacy, I question whether the product would be approved; bad stuff can happen while a patient is sitting for 30 minutes with exposed botulinum toxin while waiting for the RT001 gel to sink in.
Nevertheless, according to the above PR RVNC plans to advance RT001 to a larger phase-2 trial in hyperhidrosis. I think they’re making a mistake.
p.s. No CC for today's data as there was for the BELMONT study of RT002. It would be tough to defend some of the stuff stated in today's PR on a CC!
