Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to gather safety and effectiveness information about a new formulation of Hydrocortisone (Chronocort®) used to treat patients with a disease called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Hydrocortisone is the man-made version of the hormone cortisol, which is released in the body following a regular daily pattern. The objective of the study is to measure the levels of hydrocortisone that are absorbed into the bloodstream once Chronocort® is taken and what affects it has on other hormones in the body. Since Chronocort® is anticipated to mimic the same release pattern of cortisol in the body, it is hoped that patients with CAH will be treated more effectively to manage their disease.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Hydrocortisone Modified Release Capsules
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study is a Phase 2 pilot study to characterize and examine the pharmacokinetics and efficacy profile of Chronocort® in adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). It is designed as a two-part, single cohort, open label, multiple dose Phase 2 pilot study to: (Part A) characterize and examine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and disease bio-marker behavior following short-term dosing with Chronocort®; and to (Part B) examine the disease control after six months dose titration with Chronocort® in adults with CAH.
