Levoketoconazole treatment in endogenous Cushing's syndrome: extended evaluation of clinical, biochemical, and radiologic outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This extended evaluation (EE) of the SONICS study assessed the effects of levoketoconazole for an additional 6 months following open-label, 6-month maintenance treatment in endogenous Cushing's syndrome.

Design/methods

SONICS included dose-titration (150-600 mg BID), 6-month maintenance, and 6-month EE phases. Exploratory efficacy assessments were performed at months 9 and 12 (relative to the start of maintenance). For pituitary MRI in patients with Cushing's disease, a threshold of ≥2 mm denoted change from baseline in the largest tumor diameter.

Results

Sixty patients entered EE at month 6; 61% (33/54 with data) exhibited normal mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC). At months 9 and 12, respectively, 55% (27/49) and 41% (18/44) of patients with data had normal
