  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Male subjects with HED or unaffected controls

Who may be able to join

  • Registered and attending the 2010 NFED Family Conference;
  • One year of age or greater;
  • Conform to one of the following requirements for providing informed consent:
  • if more than 18 years of age, subjects must provide signed informed consent;
  • if less than 18 years of age and it is determined that the subject is capable of providing assent, both the assent of the subject and consent of the parent(s) or guardian of that subject must be granted. Under this condition, both parents of the subject should give their permission, unless 1 parent is deceased, unknown, incompetent, or not available;

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Phenotypic and Genetic Properties in Male Subjects With Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia and Their Family Members

To characterize skin properties in male subjects with HED

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to obtain information from male subjects with HED and unaffected male control subjects. The study will consist of the standardized collection of data from HED medical history questionnaires and non-invasive tests. A subset of subjects will undergo genetic testing. All data will be collected from families attending the 2010 NFED Family Conference, July 22-24, 2010, in Colorado Springs, CO.

Since HED is a rare disease, it is difficult to obtain reliable data on a sufficient number of subjects in any one region. The NFED Family Conference is a location where families affected with HED come together, and therefore, presents an ideal location to obtain data needed to design future studies. As the procedures are non-invasive and are designed to take a relatively short period of time, subjects can participate in this study while attending the NFED Family Conference.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Characterization of skin properties in HED affected male subjects compared with healthy controls

    The primary objective of this descriptive study is to use skin assessment techniques to characterize skin properties in male subjects affected by HED compared with healthy controls including determination of the number of sweat glands and the rate of sweating.

    Measured: Two assessments conducted once during study day.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Collecting demographic information and clinical status in male subjects affected by HED using a medical questionnaire.

    Measured: Collected once during study day.

  2. Testing for the presence of ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene mutations in a subset of subjects enrolled in this study.

    Measured: Collected once during study day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ectodermal Dysplasia, run by Edimer Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Characterization of skin properties in HED affected male subjects compared with healthy controls (time frame: Two assessments conducted once during study day.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2012.
