Background: Osilodrostat is an oral inhibitor of 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), the enzyme that catalyses the final step in cortisol biosynthesis. In a 22-week, phase II study, osilodrostat treatment normalised mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC) in 78.9% (15/19) of patients with uncontrolled Cushing’s disease and was well tolerated. The present phase 3 study is designed to confirm the safety and efficacy of osilodrostat in patients with uncontrolled Cushing’s disease...

Background: A proof-of-concept study (LINC 1) demonstrated that after 10 weeks, LCI699 normalized UFC in 11/12 patients with Cushing’s disease. This interim analysis of the first eight patients enrolled into a longer-term study (LINC 2) further evaluates LCI699 in Cushing’s disease; the full analysis on all 19 enrolled patients is expected in time for the congress.Methods: There were two study groups. Previous LINC 1 participants (follow-up coh...
