Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy, and safety of relacorilant to treat hypercortisolism in patients with cortisol-secreting adrenal adenoma or hyperplasia associated with diabetes mellitus/ impaired glucose tolerance and/or uncontrolled systolic hypertension.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypercortisolism Drug: relacorilant Other: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This Phase 3 study patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to treatment with relacorilant (active drug) or placebo. Patients will receive relacorilant or placebo for 22 weeks. Patients who complete the study may also be eligible to roll over into an extension study.

Estimated Study Completion Date : March 29, 2024


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Relacorilant
The dose of relacorilant will be increased sequentially from 100 mg orally once daily to a target dose of 400 mg once daily.
Drug: relacorilant
Relacorilant is supplied as 100 mg capsules for oral dosing.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo matched to study drug
Other: Placebo
Placebo is supplied as 100 mg capsules for oral dosing.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. In patients with diabetes/ impaired glucose tolerance (DM/IGT), the mean change in AUC glucose as compared between relacorilant and placebo arm [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 22 ]
  2. In patients with systolic hypertension, the change in mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) based on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) as compared between relacorilant and placebo arms [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 22 ]
  3. Rate of safety based TEAEs [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 22 ]
    Assessment of safety based on treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as graded by CTCAE v5.0.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. In patients with DM at baseline the mean change in HbA1c and fasting glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 22/ET ]
  2. Proportion of patients with IGT at Baseline who achieved normalization of 2-hour oGTT glucose [ Time Frame: Week 22/ET ]
  3. Proportion of patients with normalization of the mean SBP [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 22/ET ]
