Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, study of SPI-62 in subjects with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome caused by a non-adrenal tumor. Subjects will receive each of the following 2 treatments for 24 weeks: SPI-62 and matching placebo with the option of long-term extension.

Description:

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study to evaluate the pharmacologic effect, efficacy, and safety of SPI-62 in subjects with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Each subject who provides consent and meets all inclusion and exclusion criteria will participate in a screening period (Days -35 to -8), a baseline period (Days -7 to -1), and a treatment period (Day 1 of Week 1 to Day 168 ± 3 days of Week 24) and, the option of long-term extension. Subjects have the option to continue with the study on active study drug and return to the site every 3 months for blood tests and study drug dispensing. The visits may be conducted remotely if testing can be arranged.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• History of bilateral adrenalectomy or exogenous, pseudo, cyclic, or non-ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (including certain inherited conditions).

• High risk of acute morbidity from corticotroph adenoma growth (similar to that which occurs with Nelson's syndrome) defined as current evidence of macroadenoma at risk of impingement of vital structures.

• Any current or prior medical condition, medical or surgical therapies, or clinical trial participation expected to interfere with the conduct of the study or the evaluation of its results, including but not limited to poor venous access or recent receipt or donation of blood products.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from baseline in urinary HSD-1 ratio	The urinary HSD-1 ratio (tetrahydrocortisol + allotetrahydrocortisol ) / tetrahydrocortisone will be used as a biomarker of HSD-1 activity in liver. The primary analysis will include only subjects with Cushing's disease.	Baseline to 6 weeks
Secondary	Treatment emergent adverse events	Adverse events including clinically significant abnormal values on clinical laboratory evaluations, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), 12-lead ECGs, vital signs measurements (including orthostatic vital sign measurements), physical examinations, and HPA and HPG axis biomarkers	Baseline through 24 weeks of treatment
