Treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia using crf1 receptor antagonist
A patent application (Publication Number: US20230414627A1) discloses a method for treating congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in humans. The method involves administering a CRF1 receptor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, along with a reduced second dose of a glucocorticoid compared to the first dose. The treatment aims to reduce levels of androstenedione (A4), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), or 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in the subject from baseline levels.
The method includes reducing A4, ACTH, or 17-OHP levels by at least 5% from baseline, with further reductions of 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25% also being claimed. The treatment not only aims to reduce these hormone levels but also maintain them at reduced levels post 24 hours, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks. The patent application specifies the use of specific glucocorticoids like hydrocortisone and CRF1 receptor antagonists like Compound 1, with dosing regimens and administration methods detailed for optimal efficacy. The method also highlights the importance of timing in administering the CRF1 receptor antagonist and glucocorticoid to achieve the desired therapeutic effects in treating CAH.
