New pill shows promise for rare hormone disorder in Long-Term trial
NCT ID NCT06712823
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of a daily pill called atumelnant for people with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The drug works by blocking a hormone receptor to help control excess androgen production. Researchers will monitor 150 participants who previously completed a Crinetics study to see if atumelnant can reduce the need for steroids and improve hormone levels over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- atumelnant (CRN04894)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option to better control hormone levels and reduce steroid use in people with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study, so it builds on earlier results. It is still in Phase 2, meaning it is not yet proven to be safe and effective long-term. Side effects or lack of benefit are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following criteria apply: 1. Participants with CAH who have completed the Treatment Period in a Crinetics parent atumelnant CAH study, and in the opinion of the Investigator had an acceptable benefit-risk assessment in the completed study and would benefit from continued dosing in this extension study. 1. Group 1: Participants meeting the above criteria and did not have study drug administration interrupted between End of Trial (EOT) of the parent study and the commencement of the OLE study. 2. Group 2: Participants meeting the above criteria but had study drug administration interrupted between EOT of the parent study and the commencement of the OLE study. 2. Female participants who engage in heterosexual intercourse must: 1. Be of nonchildbearing potential, defined as either surgically sterile (ie, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy for at least 3 months, or bilateral oophorectomy), OR 2. Be postmenopausal with at least 1 year of amenorrhea. In participants with less than 1 year of amenorrhea, confirmation is required with 2 follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) measurements. A documented, historical test result measured prior to Screening may be used as 1 of the 2 measurements. The FSH value should be ≥30 IU/L to confirm menopausal status, OR 3. Agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from the beginning of Screening until at least 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Contraceptive use by men and women also should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Periodic abstinence (ie, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. 3. Male participants agree to use a condom when sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential from Screening until at least 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug (or be surgically sterile \[ie, vasectomy with a confirmed absence of sperm in ejaculate\]; or agree to remain abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis). Male participants should also agree to not donate sperm for the duration of the study and until at least 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug. 4. Participants are willing and able to give signed informed consent, including compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the Informed Consent Form (ICF). 5. Participants are willing and able to comply with the study procedures as specified in the protocol and comply with the study treatment. Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Any medical condition(s) or laboratory findings that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might jeopardize the participant's safety or ability to complete the study. 2. Participants have known history of (that is within the past 12 months), or current alcohol or drug abuse. 3. Participants have any 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. 4. Participants have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the test materials or related compounds, including being at high risk of adrenal insufficiency as judged by the Investigator. 5. 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. 6. Participant is an employee or immediate family member of an employee of Crinetics. 7. Participants who have been dosed with an investigational drug (other than atumelnant) in any prior clinical study within 60 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to informed consent or plan to use an investigational drug in another study. 8. Participants who have had an active malignant disease within the last 5 years prior to Screening excluding dermal squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin with complete local excision or resected cervical carcinoma in situ. 9. Participants who are committed to an institution by virtue of an order issued either by the judicial or the administrative authorities. Specific for Participants Not Currently Receiving Atumelnant 10. Participants with any clinically significant abnormal laboratory test during Screening or clinically significant concomitant disease other than CAH including but not limited to cardiovascular disease; moderate or severe renal insufficiency (estimated glomerular filtration rate \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2 using Chronic Kidney Epidemiology Collaboration \[CKD-EPI\] formula) at Screening; or Significant liver disease or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>3× upper limit of normal (ULN), and/or total bilirubin \>1.5×ULN during Screening. Participants with previously diagnosed Gilbert's syndrome not accompanied by other hepatobiliary disorders and associated with total bilirubin \<3.5 mg/dL (\<51.3 μmol/L) will be permitted. 11. Participants with a history of bilateral adrenalectomy, hypopituitarism, or other condition requiring chronic glucocorticoid therapy. 12. Participants with a history of major surgery/surgical therapy for any cause within 4 weeks prior to Screening. 13. Participants with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus defined as having a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥8.5% (≥69 mmol/mL). 14. Participants with hypothyroidism who are not receiving adequate hormone replacement therapy based on thyroid hormone levels measured at the time of Screening, as determined by the Investigator. 15. Participant has an average (of 3 electrocardiograms \[ECGs\]) Fridericia's corrected QT (QTcF) interval \>450 milliseconds (msec) (men) or \>470 msec (women), time interval between P and R waves (PR interval) \>220 msec, time interval of the QRS complex (QRS) interval \>120 msec, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, left bundle branch block, or hemiblock at Screening.
