Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 1 mg osilodrostat therapy in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), and to determine the impact on 24h urine steroid metabolome and circadian cortisol/cortisone concentrations
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provide written informed consent
- Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Diagnosed with MACS
- At least 2 abnormal post-dexamethasone cortisol results: i. 1 mg post-dexamethasone cortisol \>1.8 mcg/dL or ii. 8 mg post-dexamethasone cortisol \>1 mcg/dL
- Historical dexamethasone suppression test results can be used if performed within 24 months prior to enrollment.
- Adrenal imaging phenotype consistent with benign disease (adrenal adenoma/s, macronodular or micronodular adrenal hyperplasia)
- At least one of the following comorbidities:
- Obesity (BMI\>30 kg/m2)
- Dysglycemia
- Dyslipidemia
- Hypertension
- Osteopenia
- Osteoporosis
- Fragility fractures
- Ability to take oral medication and be willing to adhere to the study intervention regimen
- For persons of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of ≤ 5% per year during the treatment period and for 1 month after the last dose of study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Planned alternative therapy for MACS during the study period
- Current use of oral exogenous glucocorticoid therapy
- Current use of opioid therapy \>20 MME/day
- Planned use of oral exogenous glucocorticoid therapy
- Planned use of opioid therapy \>20 MME/day
- Use of injectable glucocorticoid within the last 6 weeks or anticipated glucocorticoid use during the study period.
- Hypokalemia of hypomagnesemia at baseline visit
- Prolonged QTc on baseline ECG
- Concomitant therapy with medications likely to lead to drug-drug interactions (based on PI review).
- Investigator's judgement based on history/physical examination that a comorbidity or concomitant medication may impact the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis or steroid metabolome
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:
- Ongoing or active infection
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Unstable angina pectoris
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Known allergic reactions to osilodrostat
- Suspected false positive post-dexamethasone cortisol results due to increased metabolism, poor absorption, or noncompliance with dexamethasone.
- Treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention within lower than specific therapy washout period
