Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 4 study with 2 parts: Part 1 (Prevalence Phase) is non-interventional and will assess the prevalence of hypercortisolism in a population with difficult to control type 2 diabetes (T2D) (hemoglobin A1c ≥7.5%) despite receiving standard-of-care therapies. Part 2 (Treatment Phase) is a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind multi-center trial that will assess the safety and efficacy of mifepristone treatment in patients with hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypercortisolism Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Drug: Mifepristone 300 MG [Korlym] Drug: Placebo for mifepristone Phase 4

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 4 study with 2 parts at approximately 30 sites in the United States (US).

Part 1 (Prevalence Phase) is non-interventional and will assess the prevalence of hypercortisolism in a population with difficult to control T2D (HbA1c ≥7.5%) despite receiving standard-of-care therapies.

Patients from Part 1 Prevalence Phase who meet eligibility requirements can then enroll in Part 2 and will be randomized 2:1 to receive mifepristone or placebo once daily with food. Randomization will be stratified by presence of adenoma (yes/no).

Part 2 (Treatment Phase) is a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind multi-center trial that will assess the safety and efficacy of mifepristone treatment in patients with hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Mifepristone 300 mg
Patients who meet the entry criteria for the Study C-1073-310 will be randomized to receive 600 mg mifepristone for 24 weeks.
Drug: Mifepristone 300 MG [Korlym]
Mifepristone tablets for once daily oral dosing

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Patients who meet the entry criteria for the Study C-1073-310 will be randomized to receive placebo for 24 weeks.
Drug: Placebo for mifepristone
Placebo tablets for once daily oral dosing




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Prevalence of Hypercortisolism [ Time Frame: Screening ]
    Prevalence (percentage) of patients with hypercortisolism defined by dexamethasone suppression test (DST) >1.8 μg/dL with dexamethasone level ≥140 ng/dL in patients with difficult to control T2D, defined as HbA1c ≥7.5%. despite receiving standard-of-care therapies.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Effect of Treatment on Neoplastic Hypercortisolism [ Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 to week 24 ]
    Change in HbA1c from baseline (at randomization) to 24 weeks in patients with neoplastic hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies, treated with mifepristone versus placebo.

  2. Effect of Treatment on Non-neoplastic Hypercortisolism [ Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 to week 24 ]
    Change in HbA1c from baseline (at randomization) to 24 weeks in patients with non-neoplastic hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies, treated with mifepristone versus placebo.

  • Is a night shift worker, i.e., is awake from approximately 11 PM to 7 AM.
  • Has taken any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to screening, or within less than 5 times the drug's half-life, whichever is longer.
  • Has had the diagnosis of Cushing syndrome or has used or plans to use any of the following treatments for Cushing syndrome:

    - Mifepristone, metyrapone, osilodrostat, ketoconazole, fluconazole, aminoglutethimide, etomidate, octreotide, larazotide, pasireotide, long-acting octreotide or pasireotide.

  • Has a history of hypersensitivity or severe reaction to dexamethasone
