Trial summary

The risk of adrenal insufficiency in patients with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is not well documented. Indication of cortisol replacement therapy in situation of acute stress or at long term is thus controversial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Adrenocortical Functions by Insulin Tolerance Test and Sodium Depletion in Women With Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-hydroxylase Deficiency in Comparison With Healthy Volunteers.

The risk of adrenal insufficiency in patients with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is not well documented. Indication of cortisol replacement therapy in situation of acute stress or at long term is thus controversial. The mineralocorticoid reserve of these patients has never been evaluated.

Hypothesis: The glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid function of the adrenal glands in women with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency is comparable with the adrenal functions of healthy age- sexe- and BMI-matched subjects.

Read the detailed description

The primary end-point of the study is to evaluate the glucocorticoid function of the adrenal glands in women with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency (= patients) by comparing the maximal cortisol concentrations obtained during insulin tolerance test (ITT) in the patients and in the healthy volunteers.

The secondary end-point of the study is to determine the % of patients with a maximal plasma cortisol concentration greater or equal to 18μg/dL during ITT; compare the maximal plasma ACTH and salivary cortisol concentration during ITT in the two study groups; to evaluate the mineralocorticoid function of the patients by comparing the variations (changes from baseline) of the plasma renin, aldosterone, urinary aldosterone, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse wave velocity in response to sodium depletion in the patients and in the healthy volunteers.

Women with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency followed in the Endocrinology and reproduction illnesses Service of the BICETRE Hospital, LE KREMLIN-BICETRE, France and female healthy volunteers will be proposed to participate.

Before inclusion patients must be genotyped and both patients and healthy volunteers must undergo an ACTH (Synacthen 250 μg IV) test for plasma cortisol and 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentration assessments.

After inclusion:

  • ITT: IV injection of 0.10-0.2U/kg of insulin (ACTRAPID) at 09h00, dose adapted to BMI, with repeated measures 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after insulin injection for assessment of the glucocorticoid function, at the One Day Hospital of the Endocrinology and reproduction illnesses Service of the BICETRE Hospital, LE KREMLIN BICETRE.
  • Sodium depletion test: obtained by PO administration of 40 mg of furosemide (LASILIX) at 09h00 in combination with low sodium diet (20mmol of Na/day) with repeated measures for assessment of the mineralocorticoid function during 24 hours after the drug administration at the Clinical Investigation Center of The George POMPIDOU Hospital, Paris.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximal plasma cortisol concentration (time frame: Before and up to two hours after Insulin injection (Insulin tolerance test)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
