Official Title: Diagnosis of Central Adrenal Insufficiency in Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine presence of central adrenal insufficiency in children with Prader Willi Syndrome using low dose (1 mcg) ACTH stimulation test compared to results of overnight metyrapone test.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Nationwide Children's Hospital

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Presence of central adrenal insufficiency using low dose (1 mcg) ACTH stimulation test [ Time Frame: 40 minutes ]
  • Prescence of central adrenal insufficiency using overnight metyrapone test [ Time Frame: 8 hours ]


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Determine peak cortisol value on low dose (1 mcg) ACTH stimulation test that can accurately predict central adrenal insufficiency based on overnight metyrapone test with good sensitivity and specificity. [ Time Frame: 0 ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
