XLHED Trials

The XLHED clinical trial is open to pregnant women who have not yet reached the 23rd week of pregnancy, have a genetic confirmation of their XLHED status and have their unborn son affected.

Pregnant women will be enrolled in the study at investigational centers in Europe and in the USA, under the care of clinical experts.

The trial website is currently being developed, but if you are interested in knowing more about the EDELIFE clinical trial, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov or contact the physician, principal study investigator Prof. Dr. med. Holm Schneider at holm.schneider@uk-erlangen.de

Fundraising in 2022

After starting 2021 in lockdown, it was wonderful to see so many events returning and our ED community back at it, fundraising across the country for Ectodermal Dysplasia.

February is Ectodermal Dysplasia Awareness Month, and there will be big celebrations throughout the year for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.

The TCS London Marathon, The Big Half and Swim Serpentine are all coming back in 2022.

Looking ahead to Fundraising for ED in 2022….
