Overview
Sponsor-declared trial summary
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
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)

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
- 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)
