About this study

Official title: Investigation of Chronic Inflammatory Processes in the Respiratory Tract and the Eyes of Male Individuals With X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia

X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by lack of sweat, sebaceous, submucous, Meibomian and mammary glands, sparse hair and eyebrows, and oligodontia. Insufficient function of the respective glands may lead to chronic inflammatory processes in airways and eyes of the affected individuals. The investigators will quantify sweat glands of XLHED patients, assess chronic conjunctivitis and blepharitis in conjunction with quantitative and/or qualitative alterations of lacrimal fluid in these subjects, evaluate lung function and assess chronic inflammatory processes in the airways by NO measurements. The data should provide a basis for genotype-phenotype correlations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, run by University Hospital Erlangen at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 8 Jan 2014. 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 Germany. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01308333, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2014.
