- Patients with life or limb threatening traumatic injury to an arterial vessel in the limb or torso, other than the heart, which requires replacement or reconstruction.
- Preoperative imaging or clinical examination indicates the damaged vessel has a defect length of ≤ 38cm and is appropriately size matched to the 6mm Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) per the judgment of the treating surgeon taking into account vasoconstriction and situational inflow and outflow considerations.
- Autologous vein graft is either not feasible in the judgment of the treating surgeon (e.g., because of lack of availability of suitable conduit, presence of severe venous insufficiency) or is not desirable because of the urgency of revascularization.
- Aged 18 to 85 years old, inclusive.
- Able to communicate meaningfully with investigative staff, and able to comply with entire study procedures. If the patient is unconscious, then information from a reliable witness indicates that the patient would normally be able to comply with study procedures.
- Patient or relative is able, willing and competent to give informed consent.
- Life expectancy of at least 1 year.
- Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) of ≥ 7.
- Limb at high risk of amputation despite vascular reconstruction (e.g., because of crush injury).
- Catastrophic injuries that make survival unlikely (e.g., Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) > 5 or Injury Severity Score (ISS) > 60).
- HAV may not be used for coronary artery repair.
- Known pregnant women.
- Known medical condition which would preclude long term antiplatelet therapy after resolution of acute injuries.
- Any other condition which in the judgment of the investigator would preclude adequate evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the HAV.
- Previous exposure to HAV.
- Known participation in any investigational study within the last 30 days.
- Employees of the sponsor or patients who are employees or relatives of the investigator.

last year and puberty must be completed (Tanner stage V).
- Participants with known classic CAH due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency diagnosed in
childhood with documented (at any time) elevated 17-OHP and with or without elevated
A4 and currently treated with hydrocortisone, prednisone, prednisolone or
dexamethasone (or a combination of the aforementioned glucocorticoids) and on stable
glucocorticoid therapy for a minimum of 3 months.

a minimum of 3 months prior to enrollment and must have stable renin levels at
screening.

the use of an accepted method of contraception during the study.
- A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not
breastfeeding, and she is either not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or has
a negative pregnancy test at entry into the study. Note: females presenting with
oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea who are aged ≤55 years should be considered potentially
fertile and therefore should undergo pregnancy testing like all other female
participants.
- Capable of giving signed informed consent/assent which includes compliance with
requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this
protocol.
- Clinical or biochemical evidence of hepatic or renal disease e.g. creatinine >2 times
the upper limit of normal (ULN) or elevated liver function tests (alanine
aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >2 times the ULN).
- History of bilateral adrenalectomy.
- History of malignancy (other than basal cell carcinoma successfully treated >26 weeks
prior to entry into the study).
- Participants who have type 1 diabetes or receive regular insulin, have uncontrolled
diabetes, or have a screening HbA1c greater than 8%..
- Persistent signs of adrenal insufficiency or the participant does not tolerate
treatment at the end of the 4-week run-in period.
- Participants with any other significant medical or psychiatric conditions that in the
opinion of the Investigator would preclude participation in the study.
- Participants on regular daily inhaled, topical, nasal or oral steroids for any
indication other than CAH.
- Co-morbid condition requiring daily administration of a medication or consumption of
any material that interferes with the metabolism of glucocorticoids.
- Participants who are receiving <10 mg hydrocortisone dose at screening or the
hydrocortisone dose equivalent.
- Participants anticipating regular prophylactic use of additional steroids e.g. for
strenuous exercise.
- Participation in another clinical study of an investigational or licensed drug or
device within the 12 weeks prior to screening.
- Inclusion in any natural history or translational research study that would require
evaluation of androgen levels during the study period outside of this protocol's
assessments.
- Participants who have previously been exposed to Chronocort in any Diurnal study.
- Participants who routinely work night shifts and so do not sleep during the usual
night-time hours.
- Participants, who in the opinion of the Investigator, will be unable to comply with
the requirements of the protocol.
- Participants with a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the Chronocort
capsules, the Cortef tablets, or the placebo capsules.
- Participants with congenital galactosemia, malabsorption of glucose and galactose, or
who are lactase deficient.
- Participants with a body weight of 45 kg or less.
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
