Objective: Improved molecular testing for common somatic mutations and the identification of mRNA and microRNA expression classifiers are promising approaches for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. However, there is a need to improve the diagnostic accuracy of such tests in identifying thyroid cancer. Recent findings have revealed a crucial role of lncRNAs in gene modulation. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of selected lncRNAs from The Atlas of Noncoding RNAs in...

Introduction: Osilodrostat (oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor) demonstrated rapid, sustained cortisol normalisation in Phase III studies (LINC 3, NCT02180217; LINC 4, NCT02697734) in patients with Cushing’s disease (CD). Relative osilodrostat bioavailability is ~20% higher in Asian patients than other ethnicities; body weight is not a major determinant of this difference. This analysis of LINC 3 and LINC 4 evaluated osilodrostat efficacy and safety in Asian and non-Asia...

Introduction: Osilodrosat is a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor. During the 24-week, single-arm, open-label period of the Phase III LINC 3 study (NCT02180217), osilodrostat treatment demonstrated rapid, sustained reduction in mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC) in most Cushing disease (CD) patients. In the subsequent 8-week, double-blind, randomized-withdrawal phase, a significantly higher proportion of patients receiving osilodrostat maintained normal mUFC at week (W)...

Introduction: In a Phase II study, osilodrostat, a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, normalized mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC) in most patients with CD. We report the efficacy and safety of osilodrostat in a large CD patient population (NCT02180217).Methods: In this study, open-label osilodrostat was initiated at 2 mg bid in 137 adults with CD and mUFC > 1.5 × ULN, with dose adjustments every 2 weeks (range 1–30 mg bid) up to ...
