Study of Atumelnant for Cushing's Syndrome

This study is testing a new oral medication called atumelnant for people with Cushing's syndrome, a condition caused by too much cortisol. Atumelnant works by blocking the action of ACTH, a hormone that tells your body to make cortisol. Researchers want to see how safe atumelnant is and how your body handles it. You may be able to join if you are an adult with active ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome, including Cushing's disease or Ectopic ACTH Syndrome, and are currently taking certain other medications for it. The study will look at side effects, adrenal insufficiency (when your adrenal glands don't make enough hormones), and other lab test results to understand the drug's safety. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 18 participants.

Study design
This is an open-label study, meaning you and your doctors will know what treatment you are receiving. It's an early-stage study (Phase 1b/2a) exploring different doses of the medication.
What's involved
You would take oral atumelnant once daily for either 10 or 14 days. This would be followed by a monitoring period of 4 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your safety will be monitored for up to 15 days after starting treatment.

Where you'd take part

This study runs at 1 site. They're the same protocol — you choose where, and that choice sets who your contact draft is addressed to.
