In the phase 3 GRACE study, treatment with the selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator relacorilant improved blood pressure and other cortisol-related comorbidities in patients with endogenous hypercortisolism. The objective of this phase 3 open-label extension study (OLE, NCT03604198) was to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of relacorilant. Patients were eligible to enter the OLE if they completed a Corcept-sponsored parent relacorilant study, including either GRACE (NCT02804750), GRADIENT (NCT03697109), or the phase 2 study (NCT04308590), and in the investigator’s opinion, might benefit from further treatment. As of September 8, 2024, there were 116 patients enrolled in the OLE. Patients’ blood pressure continued to improve during relacorilant treatment. The mean (standard deviation) change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure from OLE baseline to month 24 was −10.0 [9.51] mmHg (P=0.012) and −7.3 [7.36] mmHg (P=0.016), respectively. Daytime and nighttime blood pressure also improved during the OLE. In GRACE, patients who switched to placebo during the randomized-withdrawal phase experienced a deterioration in blood pressure. When relacorilant treatment was resumed in the OLE, their blood pressure improved. Improvements in body weight, glycemic control, and other cortisol-related comorbidities that were observed in the GRACE study were maintained in the OLE. Relacorilant was well tolerated in the OLE, consistent with the parent studies. No new safety signals were identified during up to 6 years of treatment. Long-term treatment with relacorilant led to significant and durable cardiometabolic improvements in patients with hypercortisolism and was well-tolerated.
