The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK, and PD of atumelnant in adults with classic CAH due to 21-OHD.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Male or female, between ≥18 to \<75 years of age at the time of signing the ICF.
- Willing and able to understand and adhere to the study procedures as specified in the protocol and comply with the study treatment.
- Have classic CAH due to 21-OHD confirmed by the Investigator.
- Participants with Visit 2 levels of morning serum A4 as follows:
- A4 \>ULN and treated with \<11 mg/m2/day (physiologic) GC doses
- OR normal A4 (\>0.5xULN to ≤1xULN) and treated with ≥14 mg/m2/day GC doses
- OR A4 \>ULN and treated with ≥11 mg/m2/day GC doses.
- On a stable (defined as no dose change of \>5 mg/day hydrocortisone equivalent within 2 months prior to Screening) regimen of GC replacement (e.g., hydrocortisone, prednisolone, prednisone, methylprednisolone, meprednisone, dexamethasone, cortisone acetate) at the time of informed consent.
- If treated with mineralocorticoids (fludrocortisone), the dose should be stable for at least 1 month prior to Screening without orthostatic hypotension, and with serum sodium and potassium in the normal range.
- If on estrogen therapy (any route), the dose must be stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening.
Exclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of any form of CAH other than classic 21-OHD.
- History of bilateral adrenalectomy, hypopituitarism, or other condition requiring chronic GC therapy.
- Clinically significant medical condition or abnormal laboratory tests, as judged by the Investigator, other than CAH.
- Concomitant mental condition rendering him/her unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study, and/or evidence of poor compliance with medical instructions.
- History of cancer excluding cured/treated dermal squamous or basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ.
- Women who are pregnant or lactating or, if of childbearing potential, who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception as described in this study. Male participants who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception as described in this study.
- Known history of, or concern for, risk of hypersensitivity reaction to atumelnant or any of its excipients.
- Participants with an increased risk of developing adrenal insufficiency as judged by the Investigator.
- Severe erythrocytosis as judged by the Investigator.
- Use of atumelnant prior to screening.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
