Filter by:The current study design incorporates two previously developed, non-invasive approaches to characterize the phenotype of individuals affected with XLHED.
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
This Phase 2 first-in-neonate EDI200 study will enroll treatment-naïve, XLHED-affected male newborns in the first two weeks of life. All subjects will meet entry criteria including documentation of an Ectodysplasin (EDA) mutation associated with XLHED. Following Baseline evaluations, EDI200 dosing will be initiated between day-of-life 2 and 14, with each study subject receiving 2 doses/week for a total of 5 doses. The study will enroll subjects in two cohorts with subjects in cohort 1 dosed at 3 mg/kg/dose, associated with partial efficacy, and cohort 2 dosed at 10 mg/kg/dose where enhanced efficacy was demonstrated in the most relevant preclinical model. Given the challenge of identifying families where the subject is yet to be born, it is expected that cohort size and time for recruitment will be variable.
The goal of this research study is to identify genes and regulatory elements on chromosomes that cause ACC. The investigators also study tissue samples from patients to learn about the processes that lead to this disorder.
The investigators propose to obtain facial photographs for use in testing a computer algorithm that recognizes males at high risk for Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED). FDNA (www.fdna.com), a software company with expertise in the area of facial recognition, is collaborating with the Sponsor in algorithm development based on 2D photographs not requiring special photographic technologies. A frontal facial photograph will be taken at the time of study conduct. The anonymized photographs will be transmitted to FDNA for analysis. A limited number of unaffected controls will be also be recruited. A subset of affected males between ages 5 and 25 years will have the option of having a blood draw for a set of laboratory studies assessing nutritional status.
The study proposes to enroll male subjects affected by Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED). The sweat duct images will be acquired with a CE marked skin-imaging device and the sweat rate will be measured using a CE marked pilocarpine iontophoresis and collection system. The technologies for both imaging of sweat ducts and the measurement of maximal sweat rate have been used safely and without adverse events in our prior studies involving HED/XLHED subjects. Furthermore, this study will assess the feasibility of developing a non-invasive screening tool that will enable detection of clinical signs of XLHED based on an analysis of a two dimensional frontal photograph.
Following discussions with the FDA, a Phase 1 safety study is being initiated in X-Linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED)-affected adults to develop safety and exposure data for EDI200 in anticipation of dosing XLHED-affected neonates. Selecting XLHED-affected adults for this study provides a genetic match and biologic relevance to XLHED-affected neonates. Both males and females will be enrolled, providing safety experience with EDI200 that will inform the planned neonate study as well as supportive data for potential future trials of antenatal EDI200 administration.
In this survey of X-Lined Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED) carrier females, Edimer proposes to review responses to an XLHED Carrier Outlook toward Reproduction Survey in order to understand attitudes toward reproduction, potential treatments and genetic testing in order to improve the understanding of the decisions that XLHED carrier females make regarding their reproductive future.
This study is being done to collect information about people who have or may have Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) or X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED). This study will allow Edimer Pharmaceuticals to know more about HED/XLHED so that hopefully the investigators can develop a drug to treat this condition. In this study Edimer will retrospectively review and abstract (summarize) medical records of people that have or may have HED/XLHED in order to further understand the natural history and disease characteristics.
This study in affected Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) males and unaffected male controls, age 1 year and up, will use minimally invasive devices to image sweat ducts in intact skin, to measure stimulated sweat rate, and in a subset of subjects to collect clipped scalp hair samples for RNA analysis. This study is descriptive in nature and is intended to assess the ability to use innovative approaches to generate data from subjects over a wide age spectrum, with particular emphasis on phenotype variability between male siblings (same mutation).
