Trial summary

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.

About this study

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.

The study proposes to enroll male subjects affected by XLHED (determined by genetic testing and restricted to age > 1 yr). 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.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collecting demographic and clinical status information in XLHED affected males and unaffected male siblings using a medical questionnaire and clinical photographs

    Measured: Study day 1 - Day of study conduct

  2. Assess the feasibility of developing a non-invasive newborn screening tool, which will enable detection of clinical symptoms of HED/XLHED at birth, based on an analysis of a two dimensional photograph

    Measured: Study day 1 - Day of study conduct

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary objective of this descriptive study is to use skin assessment techniques to characterize skin properties in male subjects affected by XLHED compared with unaffected male sibling controls, including determination of the number of sweat ducts

    Measured: Study day 1 - Day of study conduct

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia and Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, run by Edimer Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Spain.

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 11 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 28 Jun 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 Spain. 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?

Collecting demographic and clinical status information in XLHED affected males and unaffected male siblings using a medical questionnaire and clinical photographs (time frame: Study day 1 - Day of study conduct). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jun 2012.
