Diurnal to present research into the treatment of congenital
adrenal hyperplasia at 24(th) European Congress of Endocrinology
meeting
Diurnal Group plc (AIM: DNL), the specialty pharmaceutical
company targeting patient needs in chronic endocrine (hormonal)
diseases, will be presenting research findings on the treatment and
management of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) at this year ' s
European Congress of Endocrinology, which takes place 21-24 May
2022 in Milan, Italy.
Over the four-day meeting, the following topics will be
presented:
-- Findings in fertility in CAH patients on Modified-Release
Hydrocortisone Capsules (MR-HC, Efmody (R) ).
-- Findings on control of CAH on MR-HC.
-- The burden of illness associated with adolescent and adult CAH.
-- Literature review on supraphysiological g lucocorticoid dosing in CAH.
-- MR-HC effects on mineralocorticoid requirements.
CAH occurs when the production of cortisol from the adrenal
gland is limited due to a genetic deficiency. CAH is associated
with over-production of male sex hormones resulting in ambiguous
genitalia at birth, precocious sexual development, infertility in
men and women, and increased mortality through adrenal crisis.
Around 450,000 people globally are estimated to be living with a
CAH disorder yet there is no standard treatment. Instead, a variety
of steroids are used but data shows around two thirds of people
living with CAH still have problems with disease control[i].
" Diurnal is committed to supporting research into diseases of
cortisol deficiency, and developing solutions to support patients
with these life-long disorders," said Richard Bungay, Interim Chief
Executive Officer of Diurnal. " The ECE meeting marks a significant
opportunity to contribute to the discussion by the medical
community of recent research and developments in an area which has
historically had very few advances. The Diurnal team is excited to
be part of this event as we continue to focus on progress in the
treatment and management of diseases of cortisol deficiency."
