Cushing's syndrome (CS), secondary to paraneoplastic syndrome, is more commonly seen in small cell lung cancer but never before reported in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated adenocarcinoma of the lung. Here, we present a case of a patient whose symptoms of hypokalemia, hypertension, and progressive abnormal glucose levels led to further workup that revealed adrenocorticotropic hormone-dependent hypercortisolism. Her cortisol levels dropped after 1 month of osilodrostat treatment, while lu ...[more]

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the long-term efficacy and tolerability of osilodrostat, a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, for treating Cushing's disease (CD).Design/methodsA total of 137 adults with CD and mean 24-h urinary free cortisol (mUFC) > 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) received osilodrostat (starting dose 2 mg bid; maximum 30 mg bid) during the prospective, Phase III, 48-week LINC 3 (NCT02180217) core study. Patients benefiting from osilodrostat at week 48 could enter the optional extension (ending when all patients had received ≥ 72 weeks of treatment or discontinued). Efficacy and safety were assessed for all enrolled patients from the core study baseline.ResultsMedian osilodrostat exposure from the core study baseline to study end was 130 weeks (range 1-245) and median average dose was 7.4 mg/day (range 0.8-46.6). The reduction in mean mUFC achieved during the core was maintained during the extension and remained ≤ ULN. Of 106 patients, 86 (81%) patients who entered the extension had mUFC ≤ ULN at week 72. Improvements in cardiovascular/metabolic-related parameters, physical manifestations of hypercortisolism (fat pads, central obesity, rubor, striae, and hirsutism in females), and quality of life in the core study were also maintained or improved further during the extension. No new safety signals were reported; 15/137 (10.9%) and 12/106 (11.3%) patients discontinued for adverse events during the core and extension, respectively. Mean testosterone in females decreased towards baseline levels during the extension.ConclusionsData from this large, multicentre trial show that long-term treatment with osilodrostat sustains cortisol normalisation alongside clinical benefits in most patients with CD and is well tolerated.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough surgery is considered the first-line treatment for patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS), medical therapy is often required to control severe hypercortisolism. Metyrapone and osilodrostat are both steroidogenic inhibitors targeting the 11β-hydroxylase, however, their therapeutic effectiveness has not yet been directly compared. This study aimed to evaluate metyrapone and osilodrostat in the short-term therapy of CS.MethodsRetrospective analysis of patients with endogenous CS treated with metyrapone or osilodrostat as monotherapy for at least 4 weeks. Main outcome measures were serum cortisol and 24h urinary free cortisol (UFC) at baseline (T0) and after 2 (T1), 4 (T2), and 12 weeks (T3) of therapy.Results16 patients with endogenous CS were identified (pituitary n=7, adrenal n=4, ectopic CS n=5). Each 8 patients were treated with metyrapone and osilodrostat. Despite heterogeneity, both groups showed comparable mean UFC levels at T0 (metyrapone: 758 µg/24h vs osilodrostat: 817 µg/24h; p=0.93). From T0 to T1, the decrease of UFC was less pronounced under metyrapone than osilodrostat (-21.3% vs -68.4%; median daily drug dose: 1000 mg vs 4 mg). This tendency persisted at T2 (-37.3% vs -50.1%; median drug dose: 1250 mg vs 6 mg) while at T3 a decrease in UFC from T0 was more pronounced in the metyrapone group (-71.5% vs -51.5%; median dose 1250 mg vs 7 mg). Under osilodrostat, a QTc-interval prolongation was identified at T3 (mean 432 ms vs 455 ms). From T0 to T2, the number of antihypertensive drugs remained comparable under metyrapone and decreased under osilodrostat (n= -0.3 vs n= -1.0).ConclusionAlthough both drugs show comparable therapeutic efficacy, osilodrostat seems to reduce cortisol levels and to control blood pressure faster.

Project description:PurposeIn a 10-week proof-of-concept study (LINC 1), the potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor osilodrostat (LCI699) normalized urinary free cortisol (UFC) in 11/12 patients with Cushing's disease. The current 22-week study (LINC 2; NCT01331239) further evaluated osilodrostat in patients with Cushing's disease.MethodsPhase II, open-label, prospective study of two patient cohorts. Follow-up cohort: 4/12 patients previously enrolled in LINC 1, offered re-enrollment if baseline mean UFC was above ULN. Expansion cohort: 15 newly enrolled patients with baseline UFC > 1.5 × ULN. In the follow-up cohort, patients initiated osilodrostat twice daily at the penultimate efficacious/tolerable dose in LINC 1; dose was adjusted as needed. In the expansion cohort, osilodrostat was initiated at 4 mg/day (10 mg/day if baseline UFC > 3 × ULN), with dose escalated every 2 weeks to 10, 20, 40, and 60 mg/day until UFC ≤ ULN. Main efficacy endpoint was the proportion of responders (UFC ≤ ULN or ≥50% decrease from baseline) at weeks 10 and 22.ResultsOverall response rate was 89.5% (n/N = 17/19) at 10 weeks and 78.9% (n/N = 15/19) at 22 weeks; at week 22, all responding patients had UFC ≤ ULN. The most common AEs observed during osilodrostat treatment were nausea, diarrhea, asthenia, and adrenal insufficiency (n = 6 for each). New or worsening hirsutism (n = 2) and/or acne (n = 3) were reported among four female patients, all of whom had increased testosterone levels.ConclusionsOsilodrostat treatment reduced UFC in all patients; 78.9% (n/N = 15/19) had normal UFC at week 22. Treatment with osilodrostat was generally well tolerated.

Project description:Abstract Background: Cushing’s disease (CD) is a rare disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with 2-5 new cases per million per year, of which 10% occur in children (Stratakis CA. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am 2012;41:793-803). In children, CD presents with a combination of weight gain and slowed linear growth. First-line surgery is the treatment of choice for most patients, with a success rate of 60-98% in pediatric patients if performed by an expert pituitary surgeon (Keil MF. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2013;98:2667-78). When surgery is not successful, patients require additional pharmacologic interventions, which are currently limited in children. Osilodrostat is a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of CD. This Phase II, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and safety/tolerability of osilodrostat in patients aged 6-<18 years with Cushing’s disease (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03708900). Methods: This single-arm study will enroll 12 evaluable patients aged 6-<18 years with confirmed CD for whom pituitary surgery is not an option, for whom surgery has failed, or who are awaiting surgery. CD will be confirmed by the clinical criteria of decreasing growth percentiles with increasing weight (defined by height SDS <0, BMI SDS >0, and a strong clinical suspicion of CD), an abnormal low-dose dexamethasone suppression test, measurable morning ACTH levels, and two 24-hour UFC measurements >1.3 x ULN. This study consists of two phases: a 12-week core phase and an optional 9-month extension period for patients who obtain a clinical benefit from osilodrostat as judged by the investigator. The primary objective is to assess the PK (Cmax and Ctrough) of osilodrostat during the 12-week core study. A secondary objective is to assess the proportion of patients with normal mean UFC (mUFC; determined from two 24-hour UFC samples) at weeks 6 and 12. Other secondary objectives include: assessment of safety and tolerability up to week 12 of the core phase and up to month 12 of the extension phase; assessment of efficacy up to month 12. The starting dose of osilodrostat will be 1 mg once daily and 1 mg twice daily for patients weighing <60 kg and ≥60 kg, respectively. The dose may be titrated based on mUFC response. PK parameter estimates will be calculated by pooling individual plasma osilodrostat concentration-time data and analyzed using non-compartmental analysis. Conclusion: This Phase II, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative study will be the first study of osilodrostat in pediatric patients with CD. The results of this study may allow further clinical development of osilodrostat in children with CD.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of osilodrostat in patients with Cushing's disease.MethodsThe multicenter, 48-week, Phase III LINC 4 clinical trial had an optional extension period that was initially intended to continue to week 96. Patients could continue in the extension until a managed-access program or alternative treatment became available locally, or until a protocol amendment was approved at their site that specified that patients should come for an end-of-treatment visit within 4 weeks or by week 96, whichever occurred first. Study outcomes assessed in the extension included: mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC) response rates; changes in mUFC, serum cortisol and late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC); changes in cardiovascular and metabolic-related parameters; blood pressure, waist circumference and weight; changes in physical manifestations of Cushing's disease; changes in patient-reported outcomes for health-related quality of life; changes in tumor volume; and adverse events. Results were analyzed descriptively; no formal statistical testing was performed.ResultsOf 60 patients who entered, 53 completed the extension, with 29 patients receiving osilodrostat for more than 96 weeks (median osilodrostat duration: 87.1 weeks). The proportion of patients with normalized mUFC observed in the core period was maintained throughout the extension. At their end-of-trial visit, 72.4% of patients had achieved normal mUFC. Substantial reductions in serum cortisol and LNSC were also observed. Improvements in most cardiovascular and metabolic-related parameters, as well as physical manifestations of Cushing's disease, observed in the core period were maintained or continued to improve in the extension. Osilodrostat was generally well tolerated; the safety profile was consistent with previous reports.ConclusionOsilodrostat provided long-term control of cortisol secretion that was associated with sustained improvements in clinical signs and physical manifestations of hypercortisolism. Osilodrostat is an effective long-term treatment for patients with Cushing's disease.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT02180217.

Project description:PurposeCushing's disease is associated with substantial morbidity and impaired quality of life (QoL) resulting from excess cortisol exposure. The current study explored improvements in clinical signs and additional specific manifestations of hypercortisolism during osilodrostat (potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor) therapy by degree of control of mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC).MethodsLINC 3 (NCT02180217) was a prospective, open-label, 48-week study of osilodrostat (starting dose: 2 mg bid; maximum: 30 mg bid) that enrolled 137 adults with Cushing's disease and mUFC > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). mUFC (normal range 11‒138 nmol/24 h), cardiometabolic parameters (blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, body mass index, total cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, glycated haemoglobin), physical manifestations of hypercortisolism (facial rubor, striae, fat distribution, bruising, hirsutism [females], muscle atrophy) and QoL were evaluated. mUFC was defined as controlled if ≤ ULN, partially controlled if > ULN but ≥ 50% reduction from baseline, and uncontrolled if > ULN and < 50% reduction from baseline. Concomitant medications were permitted throughout the study.ResultsAt weeks 24 and 48, respectively, mUFC was controlled in 93 (67.9%) and 91 (66.4%) patients, partially controlled in 20 (14.6%) and 13 (9.5%), and uncontrolled in 24 (17.5%) and 33 (24.1%). Overall, mean improvements from baseline in cardiometabolic at week 24 were greater in patients with controlled or partially controlled versus uncontrolled mUFC; at week 48, improvements occurred irrespective of mUFC control. Generally, physical manifestations and QoL progressively improved from baseline irrespective of mUFC control.ConclusionsImprovements in clinical signs and additional specific manifestations of hypercortisolism associated with Cushing's disease occurred alongside decreases in mUFC. Trial registration NCT02180217 (first posted July 2014).

Project description:Adrenal Cushing's syndrome is a rare cause of endogenous hypercortisolism in neonatal and early childhood stages. The most common causes of adrenal CS are hyperfunctioning adrenal tumours, adenoma or carcinoma. Rarer causes are primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBAMH), primary pigmented adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) and McCune Albright syndrome. The diagnosis represents a challenge for clinicians. In cases of clinical suspicion, confirmatory tests of hypercortisolism should be performed, similarly to those performed in adults. Radiological imaging should be always combined with biochemical confirmatory tests, for the differential diagnosis of adrenal CS causes. Treatment strategies for adrenal CS include surgery and in specific cases medical drugs. An adequate treatment is associated to an improvement of growth, bone health, reproduction and body composition from childhood into and during adult life. After cure, lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy and endocrine follow-up are required, notably in patients with Carney's complex disease.

Project description:Abstract Background: In a Phase II study, osilodrostat, a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, normalized mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC) in most patients with CD (Fleseriu M et al. Pituitary 2016;19:138-48). We report the efficacy and safety of osilodrostat in a large CD patient population in the first randomized withdrawal Phase III study in this rare, serious disorder (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02180217). Methods: Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, randomized withdrawal study following a 24-week, open-label, single-arm treatment phase. Open-label osilodrostat was initiated at 2 mg bid in 137 adults with CD and mUFC (mean of three 24-h samples) >1.5xULN (ULN=50.0 µg/24h), with dose adjustments every 2 weeks (dose range 1-30 mg bid) up to week (W) 12 based on efficacy (if mUFC >ULN) and tolerability. At W26, 71 eligible patients (mUFC ≤ULN at W24 without a dose increase after W12) were randomized to continue osilodrostat (n=36) or matching placebo (n=35) for 8 weeks, followed by open-label osilodrostat until W48. Patients who remained on treatment at W26 but were not eligible for randomization continued open-label osilodrostat (n=47). Primary endpoint: patients in each randomized group with mUFC ≤ULN at the end of the randomized withdrawal phase (W34) without a dose increase after W26. For all mUFC assessments, patients who discontinued were classed as non-responders at subsequent time points. Results: At baseline, median (range) mUFC was 3.5xULN (0.3-69.6) in enrolled patients. At the end of the randomized withdrawal period (W34), significantly more patients maintained mUFC ≤ULN (without a dose increase after W26) in the osilodrostat group than in the placebo group (86% vs 29%; OR 13.7, P<0.001). Other endpoints: at W24, 53% of enrolled patients had mUFC ≤ULN without a dose increase after W12 (key secondary endpoint); at W48, 66% of enrolled patients had mUFC ≤ULN; 96% of enrolled patients had mUFC ≤ULN at least once during the study; median time to first mUFC ≤ULN was 41 days. Median (range) duration of osilodrostat exposure was 75 weeks (1-165). By W48, 24 (18%) patients had discontinued the study, 15 (11%) because of AEs. Overall, the most common AEs were nausea (42%), headache (34%) and fatigue (28%). AEs related to hypocortisolism and adrenal-hormone-precursor accumulation occurred in 51% and 42% of patients, respectively. The most common AEs reported in the osilodrostat group during the randomized withdrawal period were nausea (11% vs 0% for placebo), anemia (8% vs 9%), arthralgia (8% vs 0%) and headache (8% vs 0%). Conclusion: Osilodrostat was significantly superior to placebo at maintaining mUFC ≤ULN after randomized withdrawal and normalized mUFC in two-thirds of enrolled patients at W48, with few patients discontinuing treatment because of AEs. This randomized withdrawal study demonstrates osilodrostat to be a highly effective treatment for CD, with good tolerability.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the effect of osilodrostat and hypercortisolism control on blood pressure (BP) and glycemic control in patients with Cushing's disease.MethodsPooled analysis of two Phase III osilodrostat studies (LINC 3 and LINC 4), both comprising a 48-week core phase and an optional open-label extension. Changes from baseline in systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were evaluated during osilodrostat treatment in patients with/without hypertension or diabetes at baseline.ResultsOf 210 patients, 82.9% met criteria for hypertension and 40.0% for diabetes at baseline. In patients with hypertension, reductions in mean SBP/DBP were observed from week (W)12 to W72, and 49.1%/58.5% of patients with high SBP/DBP (> 130/>90 mmHg) at baseline had normotensive levels at W72. Antihypertensive medication dose was reduced/stopped in 26.8% of patients, and the proportion taking antihypertensive medication decreased from 54.3% at baseline to 47.3% at W72. In patients with diabetes, mean FPG and HbA1c decreased from W12 to W72, and 33.3%/61.5% with high FPG/HbA1c (≥ 100 mg/dL/≥6.5%) at baseline had normal levels at W72. Antihyperglycemic medication dose was reduced/stopped in 35.7% of patients, and the proportion taking antihyperglycemic medication decreased from 21.9% at baseline to 17.1% at W72; improvements in SBP/DBP and FPG/HbA1c were correlated with improvement in mean urinary free cortisol but not weight change. BP/glycemic parameters generally remained normal in patients without hypertension/diabetes at baseline.ConclusionsPatients with Cushing's disease and comorbid hypertension/diabetes receiving osilodrostat had rapid and sustained improvements in SBP/DBP and glycemic control, respectively.
