Filter by:The congenital adrenal hyperplasias (CAHs) comprise a family of autosomal recessive disorders that disrupt adrenal steroidogenesis. Three specific enzyme deficiencies are associated with virilization of affected women. The most common form is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) due to mutations in the 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) gene. Other virilizing forms include 3b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD3B2) and 11b-hydroxylase deficiencies associated with mutations in the HSD3B2 and 11b-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) genes, respectively.
With our retrospective study the investigators show the limitations of the posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy by analyzing anatomical parameters. The investigators compared the data from one patient who underwent a conversion with 13 patients without a conversion. Furthermore, they explored the influence of these parameters on the operation time and excluded the patient who had a conversion from this analysis. The investigators hypothesize that by determining anatomical characteristics on cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI), they can show the limitations of the posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy to prevent patients from being converted to lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multiple-dose, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NBI-74788 in approximately 12 pediatric female and male subjects (14 to 17 years of age) with a documented medical diagnosis of classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
Background and Rationale: The vaginoplasty remains a challenge for the surgeon. The most commonly used techniques have been: the Y-V plasty described by fortunoff for low vagina, the pullthrough operation described by Hendren and Crawford for high vagina, and the passerini-Glazer technique . None of these procedures is entirely satisfactory; with the first two, the neovagina has a tendency to become stenotic in most cases. Moreover, in the third, in addition to the high rate of stenosis, which is encountered in a third of case , the high rate of urethro-vaginal fistulas is unacceptable Objectives : To describe and evaluate a surgical technique for vaginoplasty that is easy to realize with fewer complications especially vaginal stenosis. Study population & Sample size : 24 patients suffering from congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) presenting to outpatient clinic of diabetis Endocrine And Metabolism Pediatric Unit (DEMPU) of Cairo University Specialized Pediatric Hospital will be considered. Study Design : non-controlled prospective clinical trial with all patients included in single group Methods: Cystoscopy will be done promptly before proceeding to surgery, Confluence depth more than 20 mm is considered high anomaly, feminizing genitoplasty will be done as a one-stage procedure, One month after operation, examination under anesthesia will be done with calibration of vagina. Possible Risk (s) to study population : The risk of this study is involving a vulnerable group of females which exposed to lengthy operation may complicate with bleeding and need for blood transfusion, infection early after surgery or vaginal stenosis. Outcome parameter (s): Vaginal calibration using hegars dilators Urodynamics for females older than 3 years and complaining from incontinence
This is a controlled, open study designed to compare the effects of dual-release hydrocortisone preparations versus conventional glucocorticoid therapy on clinical, anthropometric parameters, metabolic syndrome, hormonal profile, bone status, quality of life, reproductive, sexual and psychological functions and treatment compliance in patients affected by congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 OH deficiency.
This is an open-label, non-randomized crossover design feasibility trial comparing oral hydrocortisone treatment with interval bolus delivery (pulsatile) of subcutaneous hydrocortisone via infusion pump in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Eight children, ages 4-18 yrs, will have 24-hr pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of cortisol, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and androstenedione concentrations while on oral hydrocortisone therapy (admission 1), during an initial trial of the subcutaneous hydrocortisone pump (admission 2), and after 6 weeks of subcutaneous hydrocortisone pump treatment (admission 3). An integrated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic model will be used to determine cortisol, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and androstenedione parameters to compare the duration of time subjects have these concentrations outside acceptable ranges.

This is a Phase 2 study of SPR001 for the treatment of classic CAH that will provide 12 weeks of open-label treatment to eligible subjects.
This is a multicenter, intra-subject dose-titration open-label study of nevanimibe hydrochloride (HCl) for the treatment of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Following a Screening Period of approximately 2-14 weeks, eligible subjects will enter a Baseline Period of approximately 2-8 weeks and then a 16-week Treatment Period. It is anticipated that the overall duration of the study per subject will range from 24-42 weeks.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
This research uses the Liquid Chromatography coupled to tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) technique on dried blot spot samples for the neonatal screening of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that this technique allow dosage of adrenal steroids on dried blot spot samples as efficiently and with the same sensitivity than the current technic on a cohort of 132 newborns aged 2 to 5 days, with a gestational age greater than or equal to 30 weeks of amenorrhea.
