A Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Levoketoconazole in the Treatment of Endogenous Cushing's Syndrome.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Endogenous Cushing's Syndrome
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03277690
Lead Sponsor
Cortendo AB
Brief Summary

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal and rescue/restoration study in subjects with endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (CS) previously treated with single-arm, open-label levoketoconazole that will assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of levoketoconazole.

Detailed Description

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal and rescue/restoration study in subjects with endogenous CS that will assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of levoketoconazole. There are two populations (cohorts) of subjects: (1) subjects which were previous levoketoconazole study completers and (2) subjects that are levoketoconazole treatment naïve subjects.

Study methodology varies by cohort prior to randomization only. Following initial screening (washout as needed) and Dose Titration and Maintenance Periods, as applicable, this study will be conducted in two double-blind phases (a Withdrawal Phase and a Restoration Phase). The levoketoconazole-naïve cohort will need to go through the Dose Titration and Maintenance Phase. The longest anticipated total study participation duration is approximately 51 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects With Loss of Therapeutic Response to Levoketoconazole Upon Withdrawing to Placebo Compared With the Proportion of Subjects With Loss of Therapeutic Response Upon Continuing Treatment With Levoketoconazole.max. 9.5 weeks

Urinary free cortisol (UFC) level measurement: Loss of therapeutic response is inferred based on mUFC from three 24-hour UFC measurements obtained at any visit from second through final Randomized Withdrawal Phase visits (RW1 through RW5 inclusive) when: (1) mUFC is above 1.5X the ULN of the central laboratory's reference range, OR (2) mUFC is more than 40% above the baseline (RW0) value, if the RW0 value is above the ULN (i.e. \>1.0X ULN)1, OR (3) an early rescue criterion is met.
