ArmTypeDescription
Endogenous CortisolNO_INTERVENTIONNo Study medication will be given during this study period, however various blood, urine and saliva samples will be taken in order to measure normal levels of hormones and other chemicals at several time-points.
DexamethasoneOTHER1mg Dexamethasone will be administered at 22:00 on Day 1 and at 06:00 and 12:00 on Day 2. Various blood, urine and saliva samples will be taken in order to measure normal levels of hormones and other chemicals at several time-points. Dexamethasone is considered a challenge agent and therefore a non-IMP
Infacort®EXPERIMENTAL20mg Infacort® will be administered on Day 2 at 07:00. Dexamethasone is a challenge agent and will be taken to suppress endogenous adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) and cortisol. 1mg Dexamethasone will be administered at 22:00 on Day 1 and 06:00 and 12:00 on Day 2. Various blood, urine and saliva samples will be taken in order to measure normal levels of hormones and other chemicals at several time-points.
Hydrocortisone TabletACTIVE_COMPARATOR20mg Hydrocortisone Tablet will be administered on Day 2 at 07:00. Dexamethasone is a challenge agent and will be taken to suppress endogenous ACTH and Cortisol. 1mg Dexamethasone will be administered at 22:00 on Day 1 and 06:00 and 12:00 on Day 2. Various blood, urine and saliva samples will be taken in order to measure normal levels of hormones and other chemicals at several time-points.
i.v Hydrocortisone InjectionACTIVE_COMPARATOR20mg i.v. Hydrocortisone Injection will be administered on Day 2 at 07:00. Dexamethasone is a challenge agent and will be taken to suppress endogenous ACTH and Cortisol. 1mg Dexamethasone will be administered at 22:00 on Day 1 and 06:00 and 12:00 on Day 2.

Frequently asked questions about i.v. Hydrocortisone

What is i.v. Hydrocortisone used for?

i.v. Hydrocortisone is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of adrenal insufficiency, a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol. It is administered intravenously and is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

Who makes i.v. Hydrocortisone?

i.v. Hydrocortisone is being developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NBIX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with adrenal insufficiency.

What phase is i.v. Hydrocortisone in?

i.v. Hydrocortisone is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. A Phase 1 clinical trial has been completed to assess its safety and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers.

What clinical trials is i.v. Hydrocortisone in?

i.v. Hydrocortisone has one completed clinical trial, identified as NCT01960530, titled 'An Investigational Study of Hydrocortisone.' This Phase 1 study enrolled 14 healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older in the United Kingdom and was actively controlled.
