Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Osilodrostat in Cushing's Disease

Key inclusion criteria

• Confirmed Cushing's Disease (CD) that is persistent or recurrent as evidenced by all of the following criteria being met (i.e., a, b and c):
• mUFC > 1.3 x ULN (Mean of three 24-hour urine samples collected preferably on 3 consecutive days, during screening after washout of prior medical therapy for CD (if applicable), confirmed by the central laboratory and available before Day 1), with ≥2 of the individual UFC values being > 1.3 x ULN.
• Morning plasma Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) above Lower Limit of Normal
• Confirmation (based on medical history) of pituitary source of excess

ACTH as defined by any one or more of the following three criteria:

i. Histopathologic confirmation of an ACTH-staining adenoma in patients who have had prior pituitary surgery. OR ii. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmation of pituitary adenoma > 6 mm OR iii. Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) with either corticotropic-releasing hormone (CRH) or desmopressin (DDAVP) stimulation for patients with a tumor ≤ 6mm. The criteria for a confirmatory BIPSS test are any of the following: Pre-dose central to peripheral ACTH gradient > 2; Post-dose central to peripheral ACTH gradient > 3 after either CRH or DDAVP stimulation

• Patients that received glucocorticoid replacement therapy must have discontinued such therapy for at least seven days or 5 half-lives prior to screening, whichever is longer.
• Patients with de novo CD can be included only if they are not considered candidates for surgery (e.g., poor surgical candidates due to co-morbidities, inoperable tumors, patients who refuse to have surgical treatment, or surgical treatment is not available).

Key exclusion criteria

• Patients with pseudo-Cushing's syndrome. This may be diagnosed by a normal late night salivary cortisol value collected during the screening period and after washout of prior CD medication.
• Patients with risk factors for QT corrected (QTc) prolongation or Torsade de Pointes, including:

patients with a baseline QT corrected (Fridericia QT formula) (QTcF) > 450 ms for males and QTcF > 460 ms for females; personal or family history of long QT syndrome; concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval; patients with hypokalemia, hypocalcaemia, or hypomagnesaemia, if not corrected before pre-dose Day 1.

• Patients likely to require adrenalectomy, pituitary surgery, or radiation therapy during the placebo-controlled period (Weeks 1-12) for the treatment of severe hypercortisolism or pituitary tumor growth causing compression of the optic chiasm.
• Patients with compression of the optic chiasm due to a macroadenoma or patients at high risk of compression of the optic chiasm (tumor within 2 mm of optic chiasm).
• Patients who have a known inherited syndrome as the cause for hormone over secretion (i.e. Carney Complex, McCune-Albright syndrome, MEN-1, AIP).
• Patients with Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic ACTH secretion or ACTH independent (adrenal) Cushing's syndrome. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women. 8. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 1 week after completion of dosing. Highly effective contraception methods include: A. Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. B. Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study drug. In case of bilateral oophorectomy, documentation is required (e.g. operative report, pelvic ultrasound or other reliable imaging method). C. Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female subjects on the study the vasectomized male
