Inclusion criteria

1. Be in good general health. 2. Have a medically confirmed diagnosis of classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency CAH. 3. Be on a stable regimen of steroidal treatment for CAH that is expected to remain stable throughout the study. 4. Participants of childbearing potential must be instructed on the proper use of barrier methods of contraception and agree to use hormonal or two forms of nonhormonal contraception (dual contraception) consistently from screening until the final study visit or a prespecified window after the last dose of study drug, whichever is longer. 5. Participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and negative urine pregnancy test at baseline. 6. Have a negative urine drug (for illegal drugs) and alcohol breath test at screening and baseline. 7. Be willing and able to adhere to the study regimen and study procedures described in the protocol and informed consent/assent form, including all requirements at the study center and return for the follow-up visit.

Exclusion criteria

1. Have a clinically significant unstable medical condition or chronic disease, or malignancy. 2. Had a medically significant illness within 30 days of screening. 3. Have a known or suspected differential diagnosis of any of the other known forms of classic CAH. 4. Have a history that includes bilateral adrenalectomy, hypopituitarism, or other condition requiring daily therapy with orally administered glucocorticoids. 5. Are pregnant or lactating females. 6. Have a history of epilepsy or serious head injury. 7. Have a known history of long QT syndrome or cardiac tachy-arrhythmia. 8. Have hypersensitivity to any corticotropin releasing hormone antagonists. 9. Test positive at screening for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or have a history of a positive result. 10. Have a recent history of alcohol or drug abuse, or current evidence of substance dependence or abuse criteria. 11. Used any anticoagulants or antiplatelet therapies within 30 days before screening. 12. Have an active bleeding disorder. 13. Used any other investigational drug within 30 days before initial screening, or plans to use an investigational drug (other than the study drug) during the study. 14. Have a blood loss ≥250 mL or donated blood within 56 days or donated plasma within 7 days before baseline.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent Change From Baseline to Day 14 in Serum 17-OHP Concentrations (Morning Window Average)Baseline, Day 14Percent changes in 17-OHP were assessed through the collection of samples from 0700 hours to 1000 hours (morning window) both prior to study drug administration (i.e., baseline) and after 14 days of study drug dosing. The 2 samples collected during this morning window at each visit were averaged and used to determine the percent change from baseline.
