Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults with a confirmed diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency CAH who are stable on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients without a confirmed diagnosis of CAH or those with other significant health issues may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the effects of varying doses of Lu AG13909 in adults diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a rare genetic disorder affecting hormone production. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Lu AG13909, as well as the body's response to the treatment. Participants will be monitored for their hormone levels and overall health during the trial. The study is divided into phases to ensure thorough evaluation of the drug's effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve hormone regulation and quality of life for patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on CAH treatments, the specific approach with Lu AG13909 is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior trials.

Inclusion Criteria:

Parts A and B:

* Confirmed diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency CAH (based on a pathogenic CYP21A2 variant and/or elevated 17-OHP).
* Morning (pre-glucocorticoid \[GC\] replacement dose) blood concentrations of 17-OHP \>4-times upper limit of normal (ULN).
* Body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 kilograms (kg)/square meter (m\^2) (minimum 50 kg) and ≤40 kg/m\^2.
* Stable GC replacement therapy for ≥1 month prior to the Screening Visit.
* For the salt-wasting form of CAH, the participant must have been on a stable dose of mineralocorticoid replacement for ≥3 months prior to the Screening Visit.
* Apart from CAH, the participant is generally healthy in the opinion of the investigator and based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, ECGs, and the results of the safety laboratory tests.

Part C:

* Confirmed diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency CAH (based on a pathogenic CYP21A2 variant and/or elevated 17-OHP).
* For Cohort C1 only: Morning (pre-GC replacement dose) blood concentrations of androgens (A4) \> ULN for age and sex.
* For Cohort C2 only: Morning (pre-GC replacement dose) blood concentrations of androgens (A4) ≤ ULN for age and sex and the participant is treated with high doses of GC.
* Stable GC replacement therapy for ≥1 month prior to the Screening Visit.
* For the salt-wasting form of CAH, the participant must have been on a stable dose of mineralocorticoid replacement for ≥1 month prior to the Screening Visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

* The participant is pregnant or breastfeeding.
* The participant has a clinically significant abnormal laboratory value, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameter, or vital signs value, or other safety findings at the Screening Visit that indicate a potential risk for the participant if enrolled, in the opinion of the investigator.
* The participant has a history of known hypersensitivity or intolerance to Lu AG13909 or its excipients.

Part C Only:

* The participant has received at least one dose of Lu AG13909 in Part A or Part B.

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
