    Time-to-loss of control of mUFC during the RW Period, defined as the time (in days) from randomization to the first evidence of loss of control (defined as mUFC assessment >1.5 ULN based on central laboratory result & at least 2 of the associated individual urine samples showing UFC >1.5×ULN) within the RW period. A patient without evidence of loss of control was censored at the date of the last assessment with mUFC ≤ 1.5 ULN. If a patient discontinued randomized treatment without having a UFC assessment, they were censored at the date of randomization. The measure type (number) refers to an Event probability estimate 8 weeks after randomization.

  • Actual Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes (Cushing's Health-Related Quality of Life (QoL)) - Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week (W) 48, W72, Last available assessment ]
    Cushing's Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire was developed to evaluate quality of life in patients with Cushing's syndrome. It is comprised of 12 items that capture patient responses on 7 concepts: daily activities, healing & pain, mood & self-confidence, social concerns, physical appearance, memory & concern about the future. These items are measured on a 5- point Likert-type scale assessing how often or how much each item has been related to the patient's Cushing's disease in the previous 4 weeks. The raw score is calculated by summing the individual item scores prior to being standardized so that the total score ranges from 0 to 100. Content reliability, sensitivity to change & psychometric properties have been validated in patients with Cushing's disease. Patients were asked to complete the questionnaire prior to clinical assessments being undertaken. Increases from baseline are indicative of an improvement.
  • Actual Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes: Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) [ Time Frame: Baseline, W48, W72, Last available assessment ]
    BDI-II is a patient-reported instrument developed to measure the severity of depression in adults & adolescents aged 13 years & older. It is designed to be completed by the patient on paper & takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. The BDI-II consists of 21 items designed to assess the intensity of depression in clinical & normal patients in the preceding 2 weeks. Items are rated on a 4-point severity scale of 0 ('not at all') to 3 ('extreme' form of each symptom) with differing response options for each item. A global score ranging from 0 to 63 is calculated with a higher score representing a greater level of depression. The following scoring guidelines for interpretation of BDI-II have been suggested (Smarr, 2011): Minimal range =0-13, Mild depression =14-19, Moderate depression =20-28 and Severe depression = 29-63. Patients were asked to complete the questionnaire prior to clinical assessments being undertaken. A reduction from baseline in BDI-II is indicative of an improvement.

    The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire is a standardized measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. It is cognitively undemanding, taking only a few minutes to complete. Instructions to respondents are included in the questionnaire. The EQ-5D-5L measures 5 items on mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, measured on 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, & extreme problems. A utility index can be computed from the EQ 5D-5L descriptive system with utility scores ranging from -0.281 (worst imaginable health state) to 1 (best imaginable health state), with -0.281 representing an "unconscious" health state. A single index value is analyzed for the EQ-5D-5L score. An increase from baseline in the EQ-ED-5L utility index is indicative of an improvement.
  • Actual Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes: EQ-5D-5L Vascular Analog Scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, W48, W72, Last available assessment ]
    The EQ-5D-5L also includes a 20 cm vertical, VAS (visual analogue scale) with on a scale of 0-100, with endpoints labeled 100 = 'the best health you can imagine' and 0 = 'the worst health you can imagine'. A single index value is analyzed for the VAS score. An increase from baseline in the EQ-ED-5L VAS is indicative of an improvement.

Brief Title  ICMJE Safety and Efficacy of LCI699 for the Treatment of Patients With Cushing's Disease
Official Title  ICMJE Phase III, Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized Withdrawal Study of LCI699 Following a 24 Week, Single-arm, Open-label Dose Titration and Treatment Period to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of LCI699 for the Treatment of Patients With Cushing's Disease
Brief Summary

The study aimed to confirm long-term efficacy and safety of LCI699 for the treatment of patients with Cushing's disease. It was a pivotal trial which supported the registration of LCI699 for the treatment of patients with Cushing's disease in the US and the EU.

This is a phase lll, multi-center, double-blind, randomized withdrawal study of LCI699 following a 24 week, single-arm, open-label dose titration and treatment period which evaluated the safety and efficacy of LCI699 for the treatment of patients with Cushing's disease.

Detailed Description

The primary objective compared the complete response rate at the end of the 8-week period of randomized withdrawal (Week 34) between patients randomized to continued osilodrostat therapy vs.

placebo. The key secondary objective assessed the complete response rate at the end of individual dose titration and treatment with osilodrostat in the initial single-arm, open label period (Week 24).

Eligible patients were randomized in a double-blinded fashion at Week 26 at a 1:1 ratio either to continue treatment with osilodrostat at the same dose or to matching placebo. Randomization was stratified by osilodrostat dose at Week 24 (≤ 5mg bid vs. >5mg bid); and history of pituitary irradiation (yes/no).

The study had four periods combined in the Core Period (Study Period 1 to 4) and an optional Extension Period. The optional Extension Period starting at Week 48.

Study Period 1 consisted of a single-arm, open-label, osilodrostat dose-titration in individual patients (Week 1 to Week 12). Dose adjustments were based on the mean of three 24-hour UFC (mUFC) values as measured by the central laboratory.

During study Period 2 (Week 13 to Week 24), osilodrostat efficacy and safety were assessed at the therapeutic dose determined during study Period 1. Patients whose mUFC became elevated during this period had their osilodrostat dose increased further, if it was tolerated, up to 30 mg bid. Such patients were followed for long-term safety and efficacy and were not considered responders for the key secondary endpoint, hence were not randomized in Study Period 3.

Study Period 3 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized withdrawal (RW) Period (Week 26 to Week 34). In order to be eligible for randomization in study Period 3, patients had to have completed dose titration during study Period 1, and had to be classified as complete responders at Week 24 of study Period 2. Patients not eligible for randomization received open-label osilodrostat until the end of the Core Period (Week 48), unless there was a reason to discontinue from the study prematurely.

During study Period 3, mUFC was measured at scheduled visits every 2 weeks. However, patients were also allowed to have unscheduled visits at any time during the RW if they reported symptoms of hypercortisolism or hypocortisolism.

The dose of study drug remained unchanged for patients who maintained a normal mUFC and did not develop adverse events (AEs) related to study drug during RW. The Investigator could reduce or temporally withhold a dose of study drug for safety reasons at any time during the study, including the RW Period.

During this study period, a patient was discontinued from the RW Period and declared a nonresponder, if the mUFC increased to >1.5×ULN. After discontinuation from RW treatment, or at the end of the RW Period (Week 34), whichever came first, the patient resumed open-label osilodrostat at a dose selected by the Investigator.

Patients who discontinued from the study during the RW Period were no longer in the study, and consequently were not permitted to receive open-label osilodrostat and could not move to study Period 4.

Patients who discontinued from RW treatment due to lack of efficacy resumed open-label osilodrostat at the time of discontinuation, which could occur before Week 34. Patients who were not discontinued during RW resumed open-label osilodrostat at the end of RW (Week 34) and continued osilodrostat thereafter (study Period 4).

The Novartis study team, the patient, the Investigator, and all other site staff remained blinded to treatment assignment from the time of randomization to the time of database lock at the end of the Core Period. Novartis Drug Supply Management department members were unblinded in order to prepare the study drug supplies.

Study Period 4 was a single-arm, open-label therapy (end of Week 34 to Week 48). At the end of Week 34, all patients received open-label osilodrostat treatment. The Investigator had the discretion to select the dose during this period.

Patients continued open-label therapy until Week 48. At Week 48, patients had the option to enter an Extension Period, or discontinue osilodrostat at Week 48 to conclude with an end of Core Period visit 4 weeks off study drug (at Week 52).

Patients who continued to receive clinical benefit, as assessed by the study Investigator, and who wished to enter the Extension Period were re-consented at Week 48. Patients entered the Extension period without interruption of study drug or assessments. At the end of the study, patients who continued to benefit from treatment were offered to participate in a separate long-term safety follow-up study. The optional Extension Period ended after all patients completed Week 72 or discontinued early.
