Crinecerfont, sold under the brand name Crenessity, is a medication used for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[1] It is a corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1R) antagonist developed to treat classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD).[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]
The most common side effects of crinecerfont in adults include fatigue, dizziness, and arthralgia (joint pain).[2] For children, the most common side effects include headache, abdominal pain, and fatigue.[2]
Crinecerfont was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2024.[2][3]
Medical uses
[edit]Crinecerfont is indicated as adjunctive treatment to glucocorticoid replacement to control androgens in people four years of age and older with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[1][2]
Adverse effects
[edit]The US Food and Drug Administration prescription label for crinecerfont has a warning for acute adrenal insufficiency or adrenal crisis.[2]
History
[edit]Crinecerfont's approval is based on two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in 182 adults and 103 children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[2] In the first trial, 122 adults received crinecerfont twice daily and 60 received placebo twice daily for 24 weeks.[2] After the first four weeks of the trial, the glucocorticoid dose was reduced to replacement levels, then adjusted based on levels of androstenedione, an androgen hormone.[2] The primary measure of efficacy was the change from baseline in the total glucocorticoid daily dose while maintaining androstenedione control at the end of the trial.[2] The group that received crinecerfont reduced their daily glucocorticoid dose by 27% while maintaining control of androstenedione levels, compared to a 10% daily glucocorticoid dose reduction in the group that received placebo.[2]
In the second trial, 69 children received crinecerfont twice daily and 34 received placebo twice daily for 28 weeks.[2] The primary measure of efficacy was the change from baseline in serum androstenedione at week four.[2] The group that received crinecerfont experienced a statistically significant reduction from baseline in serum androstenedione, compared to an average increase from baseline in the placebo group.[2] At the end of the trial, children assigned to crinecerfont were able to reduce their daily glucocorticoid dose by 18% while maintaining control of androstenedione levels compared to an almost 6% daily glucocorticoid dose increase in children assigned to placebo.[2]
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for crinecerfont fast track, breakthrough therapy, orphan drug, and priority review designations.[2] The FDA granted the approval of Crenessity to Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.[2]
