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.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cushing's Syndrome Drug: CORT125134 Phase 2

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.

Arm Intervention/treatment
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.
 Drug: CORT125134
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.
 Drug: CORT125134


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With One or More Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Group 1: up to Week 16; Group 2: up to Week 20 ]
    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 ]
    All treatment-emergent adverse events with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) ≥Grade 3 (severe) were recorded and summarized.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  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 ]
    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) ]
    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.
