Clinical Trial Summary

This is an open label, single sequence, crossover study. In Part 1, eligible subjects will participate in 3 treatment periods, in which they will receive the following treatments in turn: 1) In Period 1, a single 350-mg dose of relacorilant administered alone, 2) In Period 2, once daily 200-mg doses of itraconazole administered for 3 days; 3) In Period 3, single 350-mg dose of relacorilant administered with a concomitant 200-mg dose of itraconazole and continued once daily 200-mg doses of itraconazole for three additional days.

If Part 2 is conducted, eligible subjects will participate in 2 treatment periods, in which they will receive the following treatments in turn: 1) In Period A, once daily 300-mg doses of relacorilant alone for 10 days; 2) In Period B, once daily 300-mg doses of relacorilant in combination with once daily 200-mg doses of itraconazole for 10 days.

Description:

This is an open label, single sequence, crossover study. In Part 1, eligible subjects will participate in 3 treatment periods, in which they will receive the following treatments in turn: 1) In Period 1, a single 350-mg dose of relacorilant administered alone, 2) In Period 2, once daily 200-mg doses of itraconazole administered for 3 days; 3) In Period 3, single 350-mg dose of relacorilant administered with a concomitant 200-mg dose of itraconazole and continued once daily 200-mg doses of itraconazole for three additional days.

Part 2 of the study may be conducted if the results of Part 1 indicate that itraconazole has a clinically meaningful effect on exposure to relacorilant and metabolites. If Part 2 is conducted, eligible subjects will participate in 2 treatment periods, in which they will receive the following treatments in turn: 1) In Period A, once daily 300-mg doses of relacorilant alone for 10 days; 2) In Period B, once daily 300-mg doses of relacorilant in combination with once daily 200-mg doses of itraconazole for 10 days.

Blood samples will be collected before dosing and at intervals up to 96 hours after relacorilant dose in Part 1, and up to 24 hours after the last dose of relacorilant in each study period in Part 2. In Part 1 only, additional samples will be collected during the itraconazole dosing to confirm exposure.

Safety and tolerability will be monitored using AEs, clinical laboratory evaluations, 12-lead ECG recordings, vital signs, and and physical examinations.

Subjects will be admitted to the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) on the morning of Day −1 following an 8-hour fast for baseline assessments and will remain confined until completion of procedures. Each subject will have a follow-up (FU) visit 14 ± 2 days (Part 1) or 7 ± 2 days (Part 2) after the last dose of relacorilant.

2. Give written informed consent.

3. Be males or nonpregnant, nonlactating females judged to be in good health, based on the results of medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory findings.

4. Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 32 kg/m2, inclusive, and a body weight more than 50 kg (110 pounds).

6. Be willing to comply with study restrictions

7. Have suitable veins for multiple venipuncture/cannulation.

8. Female subjects must be either of nonchildbearing potential (ie, postmenopausal or permanently sterilized) or use highly effective contraception with low user-dependency.

• The only acceptable method of highly effective contraception with low user-dependency is an intrauterine device (IUD). Use of hormonal contraception (by any route, including intrauterine hormone releasing systems) or hormone replacement therapy is NOT acceptable.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Be an employee or immediate family member of the Clinical Research Unit or Corcept.

2. Have been previously enrolled in any study of relacorilant.

3. Have multiple drug allergies, or be allergic to any of the components of Relacorilant and/or itraconazole.

4. Have a condition that could be aggravated by glucocorticoid blockade (eg, asthma, any chronic inflammatory condition).

5. Have a history of malabsorption syndrome or previous gastrointestinal surgery, with the exception of appendectomy and cholecystectomy, which could affect drug absorption or metabolism.

6. Current alcohol or substance abuse.

7. In the 2 calendar months before first study drug administration, have donated/lost blood or plasma in excess of 400 mL.

8. In the 30 days before first study drug administration, have participated in another clinical trial of a new chemical entity or a prescription medicine.

9. Have a positive test for alcohol or drugs of abuse at screening or first admission.

10. Have clinically relevant abnormal findings on vital signs, physical examination, laboratory screening tests, or 12-lead ECG, at screening and/or before first study drug administration, including but not limited to**:

1. QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) using Fridericia's equation (QTcF) >450 ms (from mean of 3 supine ECGs, performed at least 2 minutes apart)

2. Stage 2 or higher hypertension (supine/semi-recumbent systolic blood pressure [SBP] >160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure [DBP] >100 mmHg; based on mean of duplicate values recorded at least 2 minutes apart)

3. Stage 1 hypertension (supine/semi-recumbent SBP 140-160 mmHg, DBP 90-100 mmHg; based on mean of duplicate values recorded at least 2 minutes apart) associated with indication for treatment ie, evidence of end-organ damage, diabetes, or a 10-year cardiovascular risk, estimated using a standard calculator, (eg, QRISK2-2016) greater than 20%

4. Glomerular filtration rate, estimated using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology (collaboration) (CKD-EPI) method (eGFR; Levey 2009) <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2

5. Hypokalemia (potassium below lower limit of normal)

6. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), and/or gamma- glutamyltransferase (GGT) >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

7. Seropositive for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency (HIV) viruses **For purposes of qualifying any given subject for study participation, out-of-range values may be repeated once.

11. Have any medical or social reasons for not participating in the study raised by their primary care physician.
