About this trial

A Phase 1b/2a, first-in-disease, open-label, multiple-ascending dose exploratory study to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic biomarker responses associated with CRN04894 (an adrenocorticotropic hormone \[ACTH\] receptor antagonist) in participants with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (Cushing's disease or Ectopic ACTH Syndrome \[EAS\])

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult male or female, aged 18 years or more

Evidence of chronic 'active' ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome

Evidence of acutely 'active' ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome within 10 days of Day 1

Participants with documented ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome taking short-acting steroidogenesis inhibitors (ketoconazole, levoketoconazole, osilodrostat, or metyrapone) may participate after a washout period of at least 5 days, if they meet other study inclusion criteria, relative to Investigator's judgment. Participants with documented ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome taking cabergoline may participate after a washout period of at least 14 days, if they meet other study inclusion criteria

Disqualifiers

Women who are pregnant or lactating

History of bilateral adrenalectomy

Previous pituitary MRI findings of a putative ACTH-secreting lesion within 3 mm of the optic chiasm

Presence of any known malignancy

Trial design

Design model
