Study summary

This is an open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term safety of relacorilant in patients with endogenous Cushing syndrome who successfully completed participation in a Corcept-sponsored study of relacorilant and may benefit from continuing treatment.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to allow continued therapy with relacorilant, a potent, selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist in patients who have successfully completed participation of a Corcept-sponsored study of relacorilant (referred to as the "parent" study). Patients may qualify to enter this extension study if they complete their last treatment visit in their parent study and in the Investigator's opinion will benefit from continued treatment.

Once-daily dosing with relacorilant may continue for patients who receive clinical benefits (as judged by the Investigator) until relacorilant is commercially or otherwise available or the study is stopped by the Sponsor. A patient's dose may be maintained, reduced, or increased based on individual response and tolerability.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Long-term safety of relacorilant

    Number of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0 or higher

    Time frame: 36 months

Other outcomes

  1. Number of patients with one or more hematology laboratory abnormality by severity grade

    The hematology laboratory abnormalities to be assessed are hemoglobin decreased, hemoglobin increased, platelet count decreased, white blood cell count decreased, leukocytosis, eosinophilia, lymphocyte count decreased, lymphocyte count increased, neutrophil count decreased. The laboratory abnormalities will be reported by worst grade of mild, moderate, severe, or life-threatening, using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 4 or higher) criteria.

    Time frame: Up to Month 99

  2. Number of patients with one or more clinical chemistry laboratory abnormality by severity grade

    The clinical chemistry laboratory abnormalities to be assessed are hypoalbuminemia, alkaline phosphatase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, creatine increased, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, blood lactate dehydrogenase increased, hypomagnesemia, hypermagnesemia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypernatremia, creatine phosphokinase increased, blood bilirubin increased, and hyperuricemia. The laboratory abnormalities will be reported by worst grade of mild, moderate, severe, or life-threatening, using the CTCAE, version 4 or higher criteria.

    Time frame: Up to Month 99

  3. Change from Baseline in oral body temperature

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Month 99

  4. Change from Baseline in respiratory rate

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Month 99

  5. Change from Baseline in blood pressure

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be assessed.

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Month 99

  6. Change from Baseline in heart rate

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Month 99

  7. Change from Baseline in electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters

    12-lead ECGs will be performed in duplicate and will be evaluated by a central reviewer. The parameters to be assessed are PR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, RR interval, QTcF interval, and QTcB interval.

    Time frame: Baseline and Month 3

  8. Change from Baseline in ECG ventricular rate

    12-lead ECGs will be performed in duplicate and will be evaluated by a central reviewer.

    Time frame: Baseline and Month 3

  9. Change from Baseline in the longest vertical diameter of pituitary tumors as determined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Pituitary MRI imaging will be used to assess changes in tumor size during dosing. A computed tomography (CT) scan can be used in patients for whom MRI is contraindicated.

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Month 72

  10. Change from baseline in the volume of pituitary tumors as determined with MRI

    Pituitary MRI imaging will be used to assess changes in tumor size during dosing. A CT scan can be used in patients for whom MRI is contraindicated.

    Time frame: Baseline and up to Month 72
