Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Randomized Participants With a Complete Response
at Week 12

A complete responder at week 12 is defined as a participant who had a mean urine free cortisol ≤ upper limit of normal (mUFC ≤ ULN) at Week 12. Participants who had a missing mUFC assessment at Week 12 were counted as non-responders for the primary endpoint.

Percentage of Primary Efficacy Responder at Week 34 by Randomized Treatment and Strata
Week 34 (8 weeks)

To compare the complete response rate at the end of the 8-week period of randomized withdrawal between randomized patients.A primary efficacy responder is defined as a randomized patient who has mUFC ≤ ULN at Week 34 and who was neither discontinued (study or RW treatment) nor had osilodrostat dose increase above the level at Week 26 during the RW Period of the study. mUFC: mean urinary free cortisol; ULN: Upper Limit of Normal

Percent Change in the Mean Urine Free Cortisol (mUFC) at the Individual Level at Week 12
Baseline, 12 weeks

Percent change from baseline in the mUFC at the individual patient level

Percentage of Responders to LCI699 Based on the Change in Mean Urinary Free Cortisol (UFC) From Baseline to Week 10
10 weeks

A patient was considered to be a responder if his/her mean UFC level from the three 24-hour urine samples collected at Week 10 was ≤ Upper Limit of Normal (ULN), as defined by the local laboratories, or represented a ≥50% decrease from baseline. Patients who discontinued for a disease or treatment related reason (e.g. death, adverse event, clinical disease progression etc.), or whose mean Week 10 24-hour UFC levels were higher than the normal limit and experienced \<50% decrease in UFC were classified as non-responders.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of LCI699 With Respect to Effect on the Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)-Stimulated Cortisol Response Following ACTH Stimulation in Hypertensive Participants
Up to Week 6

As per the protocol, MTD is the dose at which 4 participants exhibited ACTH-stimulated cortisol results \<400 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). The change in the distribution across the treatments were analyzed using 1- way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables.

Change From Baseline in MSSBP at Week 8 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
Baseline, Week 8

Arterial blood pressure (BP) determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the American Heart Association guidelines using a calibrated standard aneroid or mercury sphygmomanometer or a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer. The change in the MSSBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from Baseline in MSSBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and country as factors and Baseline MSSBP as a covariate.

Core Period: Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (MSDBP) at Week 8 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF), as Measured by Office Blood Pressure (OBP)
Baseline, Week 8

Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSDBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from baseline in MSDBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and region as factors and baseline MSDBP level as a covariate.

Frequently asked questions about osilodrostat

What is osilodrostat used for?

Osilodrostat is being studied for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome and Cushing's disease, including cases caused by ectopic corticotropin syndrome, adrenal adenoma, adrenal carcinoma, AIMAH, and PPNAD. It is also being evaluated in people with hepatic impairment and renal impairment. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved for these uses.

What does osilodrostat target?

Osilodrostat targets CYP11B1, an enzyme involved in cortisol synthesis, and acts as an inhibitor. By inhibiting CYP11B1, osilodrostat is designed to reduce excessive cortisol production, which is the underlying problem in Cushing's syndrome and Cushing's disease.

Who is developing osilodrostat?

Osilodrostat is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating the drug in Cushing's syndrome, Cushing's disease, hepatic impairment, and renal impairment.

What phase is osilodrostat in?

Osilodrostat is in Phase 2 development according to the overall program status, although individual completed trials have reached Phase 3 and Phase 1. It is an investigational drug and is not approved for any indication. The clinical program includes both Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies that have been completed.

What clinical trials is osilodrostat in?

Osilodrostat has been studied in completed trials including NCT02697734, a Phase 3 trial in Cushing's disease with 73 participants, and NCT02468193, a Phase 2 trial in Cushing's syndrome and related conditions with 9 participants in Japan. Phase 1 trials NCT02399202 and NCT02372084 evaluated the drug in renal and hepatic impairment, respectively.

Is osilodrostat the same as LCI699?

Yes, osilodrostat is also known as LCI699. The alternative name LCI699 appears in the titles of the Phase 1 trials NCT02399202 and NCT02372084, which studied osilodrostat in healthy volunteers and subjects with impaired renal or hepatic function.
