What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Number of Participants With Hypothalmic Pituitary Adrenal Axis Function Suppression as Measured by Cortisol Response Test

    A patient will be considered to have potential HPA axis suppression if they meet at least one of the criteria:

    • their 30 minute post injection cortisol level is not at least 7 mcg/100 ml greater than the basal level (< basal + 7)
    • the post stimulation level is ≤ 18 mcg/100 ml

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse Event

    The total number of subjects experiencing adverse events.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Cpre-ss

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Number of Participants With Hypothalmic Pituitary Adrenal Axis Function Suppression as Measured by Cortisol Response Test (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2023.
