Crinecerfont (CRENESSITY™) is a corticotropin releasing factor type 1 (CRF1) receptor antagonist developed by Neurocrine Biosciences for the treatment of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in adult and paediatric patients. In patients with classic CAH, circulating levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone are elevated, which traditionally has required supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids to manage. As a CRF1 receptor antagonist, crinecerfont acts by reducing systemic ACTH secretion to subsequently decrease elevated levels of steroid precursors and adrenal androgens, thereby reducing the dosage of glucocorticoids required to manage androgen levels in patients. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of crinecerfont leading to this first approval as an adjunctive treatment to glucocorticoid replacement to control androgens in adults and paediatric patients aged ≥ 4 years with classic CAH.
期刊介绍:
Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
