Description

To test the hypothesis that the regimen of flutamide (an antiandrogen), testolactone or letrozole (an inhibitor of androgen-to-estrogen conversion), and reduced hydrocortisone dose can normalize the growth and adult stature of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and can avoid the complications of supraphysiologic glucocorticoid dosage, 60 children with this disorder will be randomized to receive either the above regimen or conventional treatment until they have reached age 13 years in a girl or age 14 in a boy.

  • Subjects will be boys with bone ages 2 to 13 years and girls with bone ages 2 to 11 years with classic 21-hydroxylase.
  • Subjects must either not yet have undergone pubertal activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, or, if pubertal activation has occurred, must be receiving an LHRH agonist to suppress secondary central precocious puberty.
  • Children with a bone age of 1 to 2 years may enroll in the protocol for optimization of conventional therapy, but will not be randomized to a study arm until the bone age reaches 2.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
