CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Edimer Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company focused on developing an innovative therapy for the rare genetic disorder X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED), today announced the enrollment and completed dosing of the first XLHED-affected neonate in a Phase 2 trial of EDI200, the company’s novel, proprietary, recombinant protein. XLHED is an ultra-rare orphan disease of ectoderm development associated with a lack of sweat glands, poor temperature control, respiratory problems, and hair and tooth malformations. Affected individuals are at risk for serious and potentially life-threatening hyperthermia and respiratory infections. EDI200 replaces EDA-A1, the protein missing in XLHED and a key regulator of skin and tooth development. If fully developed and approved, EDI200 will be the first protein therapeutic to provide a sustained correction of the symptoms of this disorder.
