New treatment option for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Official title A Study in Pediatric Participants With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (Balance-CAH)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07159841

What this study is testing

What is Atumelnant?

Atumelnant is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Also referred to as CRN04894.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of atumelnant treatment in pediatric participants with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
