Brief Summary

This phase 2, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study is to assess the safety and efficacy of miricorilant in obese adult with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotic medications.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will assess the safety, efficacy, and PK of miricorilant in obese patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who are currently taking oral or injectable atypical antipsychotic medication.

Patients who meet the criteria for the Study CORT118335-876 will be randomized on Day 1 to receive 600 mg miricorilant or placebo for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 12 for 600 mg Miricorilant Versus PlaceboBaseline Day 1 and Week 12
Number of Patients With One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse EventsUp to Follow-up Visit (Week 16)
Number of Patients With One or More Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse EventsUp to Follow-up Visit (up to Week 16)
Number of Patients With One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Leading to Early Study DiscontinuationUp to Follow-up Visit (up to Week 16)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients Achieving More Than or Equal to 5% Weight LossBaseline Day 1 to Week 12
Change From Baseline in HOMA-IR at Week 12Baseline Day 1 and Week 12

HOMA-IR = \[fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL) X fasting insulin (µU/mL)\]/405. HOMA-IR is a method to evaluate insulin sensitivity. The HOMA-IR score should be ≤1.0 to be considered normal. A score \>1.9 indicates early insulin resistance and a score \>2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance.

Change From Baseline in Waist-to-hip Ratio at Week 12Baseline Day 1 and Week 12

Waist-to-hip ratio compares the circumference of the waist to the circumference of the hips. The ratio is calculated by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement, using the same units of measurement for both. A waist-to-hip ratio \<0.95 in men and \<0.80 in women is considered healthy.
