| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: The clinical features and increased mortality associated with Cushing's syndrome result from a chronic excess of circulating cortisol. As LCI699 potently inhibits 11ß-hydroxylase, which catalyzes the final step of cortisol synthesis, it is a potential new treatment for Cushing's disease, the most common cause of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. METHODS: Adult patients with moderate-to-severe Cushing's disease (urinary free cortisol [UFC] levels >1.5 × ULN [upper limit of normal]) received oral LCI699 for 10 weeks in this proof-of-concept study. LCI699 was initiated at 4 mg/d in two equal doses; the dose was escalated every 14 days to 10, 20, 40, and 100 mg/d until UFC normalized, whereupon the dose was maintained until treatment ended (day 70). The primary endpoint was UFC ≤ ULN or a ≥50% decrease from baseline at day 70. RESULTS: Twelve patients were enrolled and completed the study. Baseline UFC ranged over 1.6-17.0 × ULN. All 12 patients achieved UFC ≤ULN or a ≥50% decrease from baseline at day 70; 11 (92%) had normal UFC levels at that time. After treatment discontinuation (day 84), UFC was >ULN in 10 patients with available measurements. Mean 11-deoxycortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels increased during treatment and declined after discontinuation. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased from baseline by 10.0 and 6.0 mmHg, respectively. LCI699 was generally well tolerated; most adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate. The most common AEs included fatigue (7/12), nausea (5/12), and headache (3/12). No serious drug-related AEs were reported. CONCLUSIONS: LCI699 was efficacious and well tolerated in patients with Cushing's disease enrolled in this proof-of-concept study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
