Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Safety

To investigate if a reduced dexamethasone dose is effective and non-inferior to the currently experimentally used high (“standard”) dose regimen in preventing prenatal virilization in females with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and to investigate the effect on maternal weight gain during gestation (GWG)

Secondary objectives 1

  1. To investigate safety of treated mothers and children (stillbirths, miscarriages, maternal side effects, maternal quality of life, maternal mental health and sleep, child´s birth weight and height at birth, week of gestation at birth, infant nervous system development, malformations in the child)

Exclusion criteria 8

  1. Co-morbid condition requiring daily administration of a medication (or use of any medications/supplements) that interferes with the metabolism of glucocorticoids
  2. Clinical or biochemical evidence of hepatic or renal disease. Creatinine over twice the upper limit of normal (ULN) or elevated liver function tests (ALT or AST >2 times ULN])
  3. Subjects on regular daily inhaled, topical, nasal or oral steroids for any indication other than therapy of CAH in the fetus or in the CAH affected mother herself

  7. Subjects unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol
  8. Pregnancy with twins or multiples

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 2

  2. Gestational weight gain (GWG) of mother

Secondary endpoints 2

  1. Parameters of treatment consequences/safety in treated mothers and children
  2. safety parameters: stillbirths, miscarriages, maternal side effects and adverse events, serious adverse events (AEs, SAEs) in treated mothers and children, maternal quality of life, maternal mental health and sleep, child´s birth weight and height at birth, week of gestation at birth, infant nervous system development, malformations in the child)
