    Study to Evaluate CORT125134 in Participants With Cushing's Syndrome

    NCT02804750

    Jun 2016 to Sept 2018

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Cushing's syndrome is a relatively rare disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol. Cushing's syndrome may result from elevated endogenous or exogenous sources of cortisol. Endogenous Cushing's syndrome resulting from cortisol overproduction by the adrenal glands is the subject of this protocol. Patients with exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which develops as a side effect of chronic administration of high doses of glucocorticoids, were not eligible for enrollment in this study. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CORT125134 for treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. The multicenter study was conducted in the United States and in Europe.

Interventions

  • CORT125134Drug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Group 1: Low-dose Group

    100 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 1, then 150 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 2, then 200 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 3. There was no washout between treatment periods. Period 3 was followed by a 4-week follow-up period. Per-protocol, Group 1 did not participate in treatment Period 4.

  • Experimental

    Group 2: High-dose Group

    250 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 1, then 300 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 2, then 350 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 3, then 400 mg/day for 4 weeks in Period 4. There was no washout between treatment periods. Period 4 was followed by a 4-week follow-up period.

    Time frame · Group 1: up to Week 16; Group 2: up to Week 20

    Registry description

    All treatment-emergent adverse events were recorded and summarized.

  2. Percentage of Participants With One or More Severe (≥Grade 3) Adverse Events

    Time frame · Group 1: up to Week 16; Group 2: up to Week 20

    Registry description

    All treatment-emergent adverse events with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) ≥Grade 3 (severe) were recorded and summarized.

Secondary outcomes(2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Hypertension Who Experience Improvement in Blood Pressure Following Treatment With CORT125134

    Time frame · Group 1: Week 12 or last observation; Group 2: Week 16 or last observation

    Registry description

    Improvement in blood pressure was defined as a participant who experiences at least a 5 mmHg decrease in mean diastolic or systolic BP from baseline who has not taken an additional antihypertensive medication during the treatment period or increased the dosage of a concurrent antihypertensive medication.

  2. Percentage of Participants With IGT / T2DM Who Experienced a ≥25% Reduction in AUCglucose Following Treatment With CORT125134

    Time frame · Before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 hours after a glucose drink at Week 12 or last observation (Group 1) or Week 16 or last observation (Group 2)

    Registry description

    Improvement in glucose control was defined as a participant who experiences at least a 25% decrease from baseline in area under the concentration-time curve for blood glucose (AUCglucose) who has not taken an additional diabetes medication during the treatment period or increased the dosage of a concurrent diabetes medication.
