Ended Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

This is a randomized, double-blinded, Placebo controlled trial with a 3-part treatment period that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of up to 70 weeks of treatment with tildacerfont in subjects with classic Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) who have elevated blood hormones at baseline.

EU CTIS ID: 2023-503770-21-00

What this study is testing

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1.Male and female subjects ≥ 18 years old at screening.
  • 2.Has a known childhood diagnosis of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency based on genetic mutation in CYP21A2 and/or documented (at any time) elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone and currently treated with hydrocortisone, hydrocortisone acetate, prednisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone (or a combination of the aforementioned glucocorticoids).
  • 3. Has been on a stable, supraphysiologic dose of glucocorticoid replacement for ≥1 month before screening.
  • 4. Has androstenedione >upper limit of normal at both screening and Week 4 if daily glucocorticoid dose <30 mg OR has androstenedione >2.5x upper limit of normal at both screening and Week 4.
  • 5.For subjects with the salt-wasting form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, the subject is on a stable dose of mineralocorticoid replacement for ≥1 month before screening.
  • 6.Agrees to follow contraception guidelines. Male subjects must also agree to refrain from donating sperm throughout the treatment period and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug.

You likely can't join if

  • 1.Has a known or suspected diagnosis of any other known form of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (not due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency).
  • 7.c.Current or history of liver disease (with the exception of Gilbert’s syndrome).
  • 7.d.History of alcohol or substance abuse within the last year, or any significant history of alcohol or substance abuse that would likely prevent the subject from reliably participating in the study, based on the opinion of the Investigator.
  • 7.e.Active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus at screening.
  • 7.f. Subjects who plan to undergo bariatric surgery during the study are excluded.
  • 7.g.Any other condition that would impact subject safety or confound interpretation of study results.
