Summary

This study tested a drug called abiraterone acetate in 4 children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a condition that causes hormone imbalances and early growth problems. The goal was to see if it could lower the dose of hydrocortisone needed to control the disease. The study was stopped early due to low enrollment, so no clear conclusions could be drawn.
