New pill may help adults with rare adrenal disorder cut back on steroids
NCT ID NCT07144163
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug, atumelnant, in 150 adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The goal is to see if it can safely control hormone levels and allow patients to take lower doses of their usual steroid medications. Participants will receive either atumelnant or a placebo, and researchers will monitor hormone levels and side effects over time.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female, between ≥18 to \<75 years of age at the time of signing the ICF. 2. Willing and able to understand and adhere to the study procedures as specified in the protocol and comply with the study treatment. 3. Have classic CAH due to 21-OHD confirmed by the Investigator. 4. Participants with Visit 2 levels of morning serum A4 as follows: * A4 \>ULN and treated with \<11 mg/m2/day (physiologic) GC doses * OR normal A4 (\>0.5xULN to ≤1xULN) and treated with ≥14 mg/m2/day GC doses * OR A4 \>ULN and treated with ≥11 mg/m2/day GC doses. 5. On a stable (defined as no dose change of \>5 mg/day hydrocortisone equivalent within 2 months prior to Screening) regimen of GC replacement (e.g., hydrocortisone, prednisolone, prednisone, methylprednisolone, meprednisone, dexamethasone, cortisone acetate) at the time of informed consent. 6. If treated with mineralocorticoids (fludrocortisone), the dose should be stable for at least 1 month prior to Screening without orthostatic hypotension, and with serum sodium and potassium in the normal range. 7. If on estrogen therapy (any route), the dose must be stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of any form of CAH other than classic 21-OHD. 2. History of bilateral adrenalectomy, hypopituitarism, or other condition requiring chronic GC therapy. 3. Clinically significant medical condition or abnormal laboratory tests, as judged by the Investigator, other than CAH. 4. Concomitant mental condition rendering him/her unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study, and/or evidence of poor compliance with medical instructions. 5. History of cancer excluding cured/treated dermal squamous or basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ. 6. Women who are pregnant or lactating or, if of childbearing potential, who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception as described in this study. Male participants who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception as described in this study. 7. Known history of, or concern for, risk of hypersensitivity reaction to atumelnant or any of its excipients. 8. Participants with an increased risk of developing adrenal insufficiency as judged by the Investigator. 9. Severe erythrocytosis as judged by the Investigator. 10. Use of atumelnant prior to screening.
