Balance-CAH for Kids
Ages 1 to 17

“Clinical research” is a term for when scientists create and learn about new medicines. The Balance-CAH Study is doing clinical research for CAH. Doctors want to find out if a new medicine for CAH might work in kids and teenagers like you.

What Is the Balance-CAH Study?

The Balance-CAH Study is testing an investigational study drug. This means that scientists don’t know everything about the medicine yet and need to learn more.

An investigational study drug can’t be used outside of studies yet. We hope that one day doctors can give it to kids without being in a study.

During the Balance-CAH Study, you will take a pill every day at the same time. With your parent or guardian, you will also go to a study doctor's office for check-ups.

Depending on when you join the study, you will be in it for 4 to 9 months. After this, you might have the option to join a longer study.

Who Can Join the Study?

To join in this study, you need to:

  • Be 1 to 17 years old
  • Have classic CAH
  • Be taking medicine for CAH

Not everyone will be able to join the study. The study doctor will ask more questions about you and your health, and you can choose if you want to join the study after you learn more.

What Will Happen During the Study?

The Balance-CAH Study is made up of 3 sections:

Screening

The study team will do some tests to make sure the study is a good match for you.

Treatment

If you decide to join the study, you will take a pill once every day. You will still take your regular CAH medicine. During this time, you will go to the doctor for check-ups.

After this part of the study, you may have the choice to join a longer study and keep taking the study pill.

Follow-up

If you don’t join the longer study, you will stop taking the study pill. After this, you will go to the doctor so that the study team can check your health. If you do join the longer study, you will keep taking the pills and go to see the doctor like you were before.

If you want to know more about clinical research and this study, ask your parent or guardian or talk to your doctor.
