Crinetics Pharmaceuticals announced on Wednesday that initial results from a small study on atumelnant for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) showed "rapid, profound, and sustained suppression" of androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) levels. Results from the Phase II study will be presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting (ENDO) in June.
The study enrolled 10 patients with classical CAH on a stable dose of glucocorticoid replacement for at least six months. They received 80 mg once daily, oral atumelnant for 12 weeks. Key efficacy endpoints included early morning androstenedione and 17-OHP levels. The company reported on the first four participants and said it plans to report on additional patient data at ENDO.
The first four participants, with a median age of 34 years, had baseline morning androstenedione levels ranging from 116 ng/dL to 604 ng/dL and baseline 17-OHP levels that ranged from 4740 ng/dL to 6905 ng/dL. Treatment with atumelnant resulted in "rapid and profound" androstenedione and 17-OHP reductions "within two weeks which were maintained for the duration of therapy," the study said. Throughout the study, androstenedione reductions ranged from 74% to 99% and 17-OHP reductions ranged from 68% to greater than 99%.
"There were no serious or treatment related adverse events and atumelnant was generally well-tolerated. This ongoing study will explore further the safety and efficacy of various doses of atumelnant," the study concluded.
