Adrenas CAH (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia) Study

This is a Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BBP-631 administered to up to 25 adult participants diagnosed with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) (simple virilizing or salt-wasting, Group 1) or with classic salt-wasting CAH (Group 2) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) and who are monitored for 24 weeks post-treatment. All participants who receive BBP-631 will be followed for an additional 4.5 years for safety and efficacy in a separate long term follow up protocol (Study CAH-399). In total, all participants will be followed for at least 5 years after the date of treatment with BBP-631.

Pyeloplasty Database

There is currently a lack of information on critical questions surrounding laterality of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic obstruction, the utility of retrograde pyelogram, and the appropriate management for patients with concurrent UPJO and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO). Therefore, we propose first a retrospective study of all pyeloplasty’s completed at CHLA for UPJO to answer some of these critical questions. The results of this study may inform future studies in this realm. We will retrospectively review all cases of pyeloplasty completed at CHLA (from 2000 through present) to identify differences in outcomes.

Tumor Registry

The primary aim of this registry will be to identify genes and/or biologic and environmental factors that either cause these tumors or increase one's risk for developing them. Ultimately, research using this registry may result in improved diagnosis, more effective treatments and possibly prevention.

Abiraterone Acetate in Children with Classic 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency

The purpose of this study is to (1) determine the minimum effective dose of abiraterone acetate that normalizes androstenedione levels in prepubertal children with CAH secondary to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (Phase 1 trial), and (2) assess the utility of abiraterone acetate in prepubertal children with CAH as adjunctive therapy to minimize excessive androgen secretion and allow more physiological glucocorticoid replacement (Phase 2 trial).
