Eligibility

Recruits 7 paediatric patients.

Pregnancy Exclusion
For mother: Any pregnancy disorder associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, and/or maternal, fetal or neonatal morbidity/mortality
Vulnerable Population
The trial includes vulnerable populations (fetuses and minors). Antenatal consent procedures and antenatal ICFs are provided for the pregnant mother (treated fetal subject). Postnatal parental consent documents are provided for treated subjects; assent forms and age-specific ICFs are provided for untreated child participants (assent for ages 6-11 and 12-17) and parental consent forms for younger children; adult untreated relatives have separate adult consent forms. Consent/assent materials are available in multiple language versions (e.g., IT, FR, ES, DE) as per the provided ICF documents.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- For mother : Adult mother with confirmed pregnancy no later than week 23+6 days and genetically confirmed as carrier of an EDA mutation"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For fetus subject: Male Fetal subject with confirmed diagnosis of XLHED"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Untreated relative : Untreated male relative subject ages between 6 months and 75 years with the same EDA mutation as the treated subject"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- For mother: Any evidence of active maternal infection associated with a risk of preterm birth and/or congenital anomalies of prenatal and postnatal risk to the child. Documented maternal HIV infection."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For Untreated Relative: Previous treatment with the study intervention by any route of administration prior to study start."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For mother: Any pre-existing maternal medical condition that increases the risk of preterm birth or increases the risk of a serious untoward event occurring to the mother during pregnancy."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For mother: Any pregnancy disorder associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, and/or maternal, fetal or neonatal morbidity/mortality"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For fetal subject: Second major anatomic anomaly (not related to the underlying XLHED) that contributes to a significant morbidity or mortality risk, or echocardiogram or ultrasonography or other findings that indicate a high risk of fetal demise or risk of preterm birth"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For fetal subject: Any condition other than XLHED (i.e., other forms of ectodermal dysplasia, large orofacial clefts) that is likely to have an impact on the number of tooth germs."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For fetal subject: Any other medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not allow for safe conduct of the study for the subject, or that would interfere with efficacy assessments (e.g., any disorders that lead to reduced fetal swallowing)."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For Untreated Relative: Carrier of an hypomorphic EDA mutation."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- For Untreated Relative: Known hypersensitivity to pilocarpine or pilocarpine-like muscarinic agonists."}

Consent Approach
Antenatal informed consent is obtained from the pregnant mother for the treated fetal subject (antenatal ICF). Postnatal parental consent forms are used for treated/postnatal parental consent. Adult untreated relatives use adult ICFs. Assent forms are provided for children/adolescents (assent for ages 6-11 and 12-17) and parental consent for younger children/toddlers (documents for toddlers 2-5 and 2-6 referenced). Consent/assent documents are available in multiple language versions (Italian, French, Spanish, German and others) as indicated by multiple language-specific ICF documents.
