Summary

This study is a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase III study of Chronocort® compared with immediate-release hydrocortisone replacement therapy in participants aged 16 years and over with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female participants must be aged 16 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent/assent.
  • In participants aged 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or elevated liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >2 times the ULN).
  • History of bilateral adrenalectomy.
  • History of malignancy (other than basal cell carcinoma successfully treated >26 weeks prior to entry into the study).
  • Participants who have type 1 diabetes or receive regular insulin, have uncontrolled diabetes, or have a screening HbA1c greater than 8%.
  • Persistent signs of adrenal insufficiency or the participant does not tolerate treatment at the end of the 4-week run-in period.
  • Participants with any other significant medical or psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator would preclude participation in the study.
  • Participants on regular daily inhaled, topical, nasal or oral steroids for any indication other than CAH.
  • Co-morbid condition requiring daily administration of a medication or consumption of any material that interferes with the metabolism of glucocorticoids.
  • Participants who are receiving <10 mg hydrocortisone dose at screening or the hydrocortisone dose equivalent.
  • Participants anticipating regular prophylactic use of additional steroids e.g. for strenuous exercise.
  • Participation in another clinical study of an investigational or licensed drug or device within the 12 weeks prior to screening.
  • Inclusion in any natural history or translational research study that would require evaluation of androgen levels during the study period outside of this protocol's assessments.
  • Participants who have previously been exposed to Chronocort in any Diurnal study.
  • Participants who routinely work night shifts and so do not sleep during the usual night-time hours.
  • Participants, who in the opinion of the Investigator, will be unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Participants with a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the Chronocort capsules, the Cortef tablets, or the placebo capsules.
  • Participants with congenital galactosemia, malabsorption of glucose and galactose, or who are lactase deficient.
  • Participants with a body weight of 45 kg or less.
