Study summary

This exploratory study is a proof of concept study to determine whether LCI699 can safely reduce the level of urinary free cortisol in patients with Cushing's disease.

In addition, this study evaluated the long term efficacy and safety of LCI699 including an additional 12 week of treatment followed by a 12 month long term optional extension.

A second extension provided patients who were clinically benefitting from LCI699 an opportunity to continue to have access to the drug until LCI699 was commercially available and reimbursed or through the availability of a local access program.

Read the detailed description

The Primary objective of this study was to assess the effect of 10-week treatment osilodrostat on 24 hour urine free cortisol (UFC) in patients with Cushing's disease.

The study consisted of a screening period of up to 60 days (to allow an adequate washout period for any medications that modified cortisol levels), a 10-14-day baseline period, a 10-week sequential dose escalation treatment period and a 14-day washout period followed by a Study Completion evaluation approximately 14 days after the last drug administration. Twelve patients were recruited and completed Part l of the study.

Eligible patients were dosed at 2 mg b.i.d for the first two weeks, the dose could then be increased every two weeks as necessary (to doses of 5, 10, 20 and 50 mg b.i.d). If at anytime, the subject's UFC was \< Upper Limit of Normal (ULN), dose escalation was halted and the subject remained on the current, efficacious dose through Week 10, with continued monitoring of UFC responses every 2 weeks to allow continued dose adjustments if necessary. If at any time the subject experienced side effects which were either intolerable or met dose adjustment criteria, the prescribed dose was adjusted.

The primary endpoint (UFC ≤ ULN or ≥50% decrease at Day 70) was achieved by all patients. Subsequently, in order to confirm these observations, protocol was amended (Protocol amendment 4) and new patients were enrolled and investigated for a longer treatment period.

Following Protocol amendment 4, the study design was modified to include patients in Part II of the study for evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of osilodrostat treatment for 22 weeks. Nineteen patients (15 who were treated in the expansion cohort in Part ll and 4 who participated in Part l) with Cushing's disease were enrolled as part of the Expansion cohort in Part II of the study. The 12 patients who had entered the study in Part I, were allowed to re-enter the study as the Core proof of concept (PoC) Follow-up cohort. At Day 70 ± 2 days (Week 10), all patients (both patients entering for the first time and those reentering the study) entered the 12-week assessment period. At Day 154, patients completed the End of Treatment-Core visit.

On Day 154 (Week 22), patients had the option to enter the 12-month extension phase (long-term extension 1). On Day 490, patients who continued in the study had the option to enter a second long term extension phase (extension-2) at the Investigator's discretion, provided they did not meet any of the study discontinuation criteria.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Cushing's Disease (persistent or recurrent) as evidenced by increased 24-hour urine free cortisol (UFC), normal or increased morning plasma Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), and pituitary origin of excess ACTH.
  • Patients with de novo Cushing's disease can be included only if they are not considered candidate for surgery

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients treated with mitotane 6 months prior to Visit 1
  • Patients with compression of the optic chiasm
  • Patients with a known inherited syndrome as the cause for hormone over secretion
  • Patients with Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic ACTH secretion or adrenal Cushing's syndrome
  • Patients with pseudo-Cushing's syndrome
  • Patients who are not biochemically euthyroid
  • Diabetic patients with poorly controlled diabetes ( >9%)
  • Women of , defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of during dosing and for 1 week after completion of dosing.
  • Patients who have received pituitary irradiation within five years prior to Visit 1.
  • Patients with risk factors for prolongation or Torsade de Pointes.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

QUICKI is the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index and is derived using the inverse of the sum of algorithms (base 10) of the fasting insulin and fasting glucose: 1/(log(fasting insulin mU/mL)+log(fasting glucose mg/dL)). Values typically associated with the QUICKI calculation for insulin resistance in humans fall broadly within a range between 0.45 for unusually healthy individuals and 0.30 in diabetics. So lower numbers reflect greater insulin resistance.

SecondaryActual Change From BL in Cardiovascular and Other Metabolic Parameters: Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI)

Improving metabolic abnormalities was assessed by descriptive statistics on the change from baseline. QUICKI is the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index and is derived using the inverse of the sum of algorithms (base 10) of the fasting insulin and fasting glucose: 1/(log(fasting insulin mU/mL)+log(fasting glucose mg/dL)). Values typically associated with the QUICKI calculation for insulin resistance in humans fall broadly within a range between 0.45 for unusually healthy individuals and 0.30 in diabetics. So lower numbers reflect greater insulin resistance.

SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Were Responders on 24-hour Urine Free Cortisol (UFC) at Week 22

A patient was considered to be a responder if his/her mean UFC level from the three 24-hour urine samples collected at Week 22 was ≤ ULN (as defined by the local laboratories) or represented a ≥50% decrease from baseline. Participants with controlled or partially controlled UFC were defined as: Controlled UFC: mean UFC level \<= upper limit of normal (ULN). Partially controlled UFC: mean UFC level \> ULN but with \>= 50% reduction from baseline.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 22, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
