Trial Outcomes & Findings for Mifepristone Dynamic Testing for Diagnosis for Central Adrenal Insufficiency (NCT NCT04588688)

NCT ID: NCT04588688

Last Updated: 2023-06-12

Results Overview

Because this was a feasibility trial, the goal was to see how many participants could be successfully recruited. The original intent was for the recruitment period to be for 36 months, with a target enrollment of 26 participants. The trial opened for recruitment on February 17, 2020. Because of low enrollment, the decision to terminate was made on September 7, 2022, approximately 30 months later.

Participant Flow

The results from the insulin tolerance test (ITT) served to group the participants into two arms for analysis: high suspicion for adrenal sufficiency (maximum cortisol greater than or equal to 15 microg/dl) or high suspicion for adrenal insufficiency (maximum cortisol less than 15 microg/dl). The ITT serves as the gold standard and the cut-off of 15 microg/dl was used as a conservative cut-off in accordance with local experience with this test.

Measure
Mifepristone
Patients will be provided a single dose of 600 milligram (mg) mifepristone to be administered orally, and subjects will be instructed to take the drug between 10PM and 11PM on Day 1. Mifepristone: Mifepristone is a selective antagonist of the progesterone receptor at low doses and blocks the glucocorticoid receptor (GR-II) at higher doses. Mifepristone has high affinity for the GR-II receptor but little affinity for the GR-I (MR, mineralocorticoid) receptor.
