Prostate cancer drug trialed to reduce steroids in kids with rare hormone disorder
NCT ID NCT02574910
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested a drug called abiraterone acetate (normally used for prostate cancer) in 4 children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The goal was to see if it could lower high male hormone levels and reduce the need for strong steroid medications that can slow growth. The study was stopped early because not enough children signed up, so no clear conclusions could be drawn.
