Edelife XLHED Clinical Trial

Now Enrolling Pregnant Women

X-Linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED), the most common form of ectodermal dysplasia, is caused by a broad spectrum of mutations in the ectodysplasin A1 (EDA-A1) gene. The main symp- toms of XLHED are hypo- or anhidrosis, oligo- or anodontia and hypotrichosis. Current treatment options are limited to managing disease symptoms and complications. Effective corrective treatment for XLHED remains a high unmet medical need.

Edelife is a clinical study of the safety and possible health benefits of an investigational medicine for pregnant women expecting an ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) affected boy.

Investigational Protein Intended to Replace EDA-A1 in utero

The Edelife investigational treatment, ER004, consists of a signaling protein replacement molecule designed for specific, high affinity binding to the endogenous receptor, intended to replace missing EDA-A1 protein in utero for patients with XLHED.

Administration at several specific points in pregnancy is essential, as ER004 impacts development of ectodermal precursors of sweat glands, teeth, etc.

NEXT STEPS: EDELIFE STUDY ENROLLMENT

Early referral is essential, as screening for Edelife must occur between weeks 19-24 of pregnancy. Contact an Edelife clinical site to refer a patient or request more information.
