Mifepristone Dynamic Testing for Diagnosis for Central Adrenal Insufficiency
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The researchers propose the use of mifepristone as an alternative way to test for Central Adrenal Insufficiency (CAI). They want to assess the feasibility of recruitment and the efficacy of the purposed method.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Mifepristone Patients will be provided a single dose of 600 milligram (mg) mifepristone to be administered orally, and subjects will be instructed to take the drug between 10PM and 11PM on Day 1. |
Drug: Mifepristone
Mifepristone is a selective antagonist of the progesterone receptor at low doses and blocks the glucocorticoid receptor (GR-II) at higher doses. Mifepristone has high affinity for the GR-II receptor but little affinity for the GR-I (MR, mineralocorticoid) receptor.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of study participants recruited [Study completion, approximately 36 months]
- Number of study participants with complete study data captured [Study completion, approximately 36 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Peak cortisol measured [Day 2]
Serum cortisol will be collected the day after mifepristone administration and insulin tolerance test insulin tolerance test (ITT) if available
