Introduction: Patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) require glucocorticoid (GC) therapy to replace cortisol insufficiency and reduce excess adrenal androgens, usually necessitating supraphysiologic GC doses. CAHtalog™, developed in partnership with CARES Foundation using the PicnicHealth platform, is a real-world US patient registry that characterizes the natural history of classic CAH. This study explored changes in health states ba...

Introduction: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is a rare, autosomal disorder characterized by deficiency of cortisol and oftentimes aldosterone, elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and excess androgen production. In a phase 2 study of adolescents with classic 21OHD, 14 days of treatment with the corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1) antagonist, crinecerfont, led to median percent red...

Introduction: Children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CAH) require glucocorticoid (GC) therapy to replace cortisol insufficiency and reduce excess adrenal androgens. Supraphysiological GC doses are typically required, predisposing patients to GC-related comorbidities. In Phase 2 studies, participants with CAH who received crinecerfont, a novel oral CRF1 antagonist, experienced reduction of the adrenal a...
