Study to Evaluate CORT125134 in Participants With Cushing's Syndrome

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-09-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Cushing's syndrome is a relatively rare disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol. Cushing's syndrome may result from elevated endogenous or exogenous sources of cortisol. Endogenous Cushing's syndrome resulting from cortisol overproduction by the adrenal glands is the subject of this protocol.

Patients with exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which develops as a side effect of chronic administration of high doses of glucocorticoids, were not eligible for enrollment in this study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CORT125134 for treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. The multicenter study was conducted in the United States and in Europe.
