Study summary

The proposed natural history study will enroll male and female patients, ages 36 months and younger, who have a diagnosis of XLHED based on genetic testing and who have not received an investigational study drug. The study protocol will include collection of all relevant medical history and documentation of clinical outcomes using age-appropriate, minimally invasive technologies. Data will be collected both retrospectively, back to pregnancy assessments that may be available, and prospectively through age 5 yrs.

Read the detailed description

Important to the development and regulatory approval of therapies for XLHED will be the collection of data on the clinical history and prospective health of those affected by XLHED. The proposed natural history study will enroll male and female patients, ages 36 months and younger, who have a diagnosis of XLHED based on genetic testing and who have not received an investigational study drug. The study protocol will include collection of all relevant medical history and documentation of clinical outcomes using age-appropriate, minimally invasive technologies. Data will be collected both retrospectively, back to pregnancy assessments that may be available, and prospectively through age 5 yrs. Genotype-phenotype correlations in XLHED, based on well-documented health records and prospective assessments on genetically-confirmed individuals, may now provide new and clinically-predictive information for the benefit of patients, families, health care providers and clinical investigators designing trials for therapeutic interventions.

Study population

Those with the condition of XLHED up to age 36 months

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study:

  1. Confirmed genetic diagnosis of XLHED
  2. Written of both parents (if reasonably available)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects who meet any of the following criteria cannot be enrolled in this study:

  1. Medically-significant complications or congenital anomalies outside of those considered to be associated with the diagnosis or status of XLHED
  2. Having received an study drug prior to enrollment. For subjects less than 6 months of age, the mother cannot have taken an investigational drug during her pregnancy.
  3. Known to pilocarpine or pilocarpine-like muscarinic agonists
  4. Presence of pacemakers
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To assess clinical course of untreated XLHED individuals

    To characterize the clinical course of untreated XLHED male and female subjects in early childhood, capturing data from physician and hospital records, medical history including growth and development, and family interviews.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years of life

  2. To assess the phenotype of untreated XLHED individuals

    To characterize the phenotype of untreated XLHED male subjects and female in early childhood with endpoint assessments including sweat (males only), dentition, craniofacial development, pulmonary and ocular health.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years of life

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (growth and development)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly up through 5 years of age

  2. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (Mortality/Hospitalizations/Infections/Fevers/Heat Intolerance)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly up through 5 years of age

  3. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (sweat rate)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly through 5 years of age

  4. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (Dentition)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly through 5 years of age

  5. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (dry eye)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly through 5 years of age

  6. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (skin, hair and nail health)

    Time frame: Baseline through 5 years of age

  7. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (respiratory health)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly through 5 years of age

  8. To assess changes in endpoint assessments over time (craniofacial development)

    Time frame: Baseline and yearly through 5 years of age

  9. To assess genotype-phenotype correlation in XLHED affected individuals

    To correlate clinical course and endpoint outcomes with EDA genotype in untreated XLHED-affected male and female subjects.

    Time frame: Baseline through 5 years of age

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 5, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
