Brief Summary:
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.
Detailed Description:
This was a Phase 2, open-label study with two dose groups, each with a two-step dose escalation, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CORT125134 for the treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. CORT125134 was administered orally once daily for 16 weeks with dose escalations occurring every 4 weeks.
Pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles were generated at every dose level. A data review committee reviewed PK and safety data and recommended the final plan for dose escalation in Group 2.
