Corcept Presents Data from Treatment Phase of CATALYST Trial at American Diabetes Association's 85

Corcept Presents Data from Treatment Phase of CATALYST Trial at American Diabetes Association's 85

Business Wire23-06-2025
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol, today presented data from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment phase of its CATALYST trial of Korlym ® in patients with hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome) and difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes at the American Diabetes Association's 85 th Scientific Sessions.
CATALYST met its primary endpoint. Patients who received Korlym exhibited a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which decreased 1.47 percent from baseline, compared to a 0.15 percent decrease in patients who received placebo (p-value: < 0.001). Of the 91 patients in the treatment group, 65 (71%) received at least 600mg of Korlym and 28 (31%) received 900mg. Patients who received 900mg of Korlym had an improvement in HbA1c of 2.01 percent, compared to a 0.16 percent decrease in patients who received placebo (p-value: < 0.001). The trial also met its secondary endpoints, as patients who received Korlym exhibited significantly reduced body weight (5.1 kg; p-value: 0.001) and waist circumference (5.1 cm; p-value: 0.002), compared to patients who received placebo. Patients receiving Korlym achieved these improvements despite reducing or discontinuing their glucose-lowering medications. Adverse events in CATALYST were manageable and consistent with Korlym's known safety profile. The most common adverse events (> 20% of participants receiving Korlym) were hypokalemia, fatigue and nausea.
The conference presentations can be found here. Results were published simultaneously in Diabetes Care, in an article titled ' Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes and Hypercortisolism: Improved Glycemia With Mifepristone Treatment.'
CATALYST is the largest and most rigorous trial ever conducted to determine the prevalence of hypercortisolism in patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes and assess the effect of treating patients found to have hypercortisolism with a cortisol modulator. The initial prevalence phase of the trial screened 1,057 patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes (i.e., patients with HbA1c greater than 7.5 percent despite receiving multiple glucose-lowering medications, including best-in-class therapies such as GLP-1 agonists) at 36 sites in the United States. Based on results from a standard 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test, 24 percent of the patients screened were found to have hypercortisolism and were eligible to enter the trial's treatment phase, where they were randomized, 2:1, to receive either Korlym or placebo for 24 weeks. One hundred thirty-six patients enrolled in the treatment phase.
'Many people with type 2 diabetes do not respond adequately to conventional glucose-lowering therapies,' said John Buse, M.D., Ph.D., director of the University of North Carolina's Diabetes Center. 'CATALYST shows that these patients should be screened for hypercortisolism and that treatment with a cortisol-directed therapy can confer significant clinical benefits, including meaningful reductions in HbA1c, body weight and waist circumference. These powerful findings provide important guidance for physicians treating patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes.'
'We urgently need all physicians, not just endocrinologists, to develop a greater understanding of Cushing's syndrome,' said Leslie Edwin, President of the Cushing's Support & Research Foundation. 'As a person who has lived with the complex and far-reaching effects of Cushing's syndrome for almost two decades, it is difficult to see that some things have been slow to change. Patients are still spending years on average searching for the cause of deceptively common symptoms, like elevated blood sugar, weight gain, depression and anxiety treated as individual diagnoses instead of parts of a bigger, more burdensome problem that carries tremendous health risk. The CATALYST data will help physicians identify and treat patients more quickly and accurately through earlier screening, and that is such an exciting prospect for all of us in the Cushing's community.'
'The CATALYST results will help physicians more accurately diagnose and treat people with hypercortisolism, a serious and deadly disease that too often goes undetected,' said Bill Guyer, PharmD, Corcept's Chief Development Officer. 'One in four patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes have hypercortisolism and treatment with a cortisol modulator can be highly effective in improving many of their signs and symptoms. Corcept is thankful to the patients who participated in CATALYST. We hope these data can help all patients with this disease.'
About Hypercortisolism (Cushing's Syndrome)
Hypercortisolism is caused by excessive activity of the hormone cortisol. Symptoms vary, but most patients experience one or more of the following manifestations: hypertension, central obesity, elevated blood sugar and difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes, severe fatigue and weak muscles. Irritability, anxiety, depression and cognitive disturbances are common. Hypercortisolism can affect every organ system and can be lethal if not treated effectively.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Korlym (mifepristone) is a cortisol receptor blocker indicated to control hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adult patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery.
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS OF USE
Do not use for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus unrelated to endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
BOXED WARNING: TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY
Mifepristone is a potent antagonist of progesterone and cortisol via the progesterone and glucocorticoid (GR-II) receptors, respectively. The antiprogestational effects will result in the termination of pregnancy. Pregnancy must therefore be excluded before the initiation of treatment with Korlym and prevented during treatment and for one month after stopping treatment by the use of a nonhormonal medically acceptable method of contraception unless the patient has had a surgical sterilization, in which case no additional contraception is needed. Pregnancy must also be excluded if treatment is interrupted for more than 14 days in females of reproductive potential.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Obtain a negative pregnancy test prior to initiating treatment with Korlym in females of reproductive potential, or if treatment is interrupted for more than 14 days.
Administer once daily orally with a meal. The recommended starting dose is 300 mg once daily. Renal impairment: Do not exceed 600 mg once daily. Mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment: Do not exceed 600 mg once daily. Do not use in severe hepatic impairment. Based on clinical response and tolerability, the dose may be increased in 300-mg increments to a maximum of 1200 mg once daily. Do not exceed 20 mg/kg per day.
Concomitant use of Korlym with a strong CYP3A inhibitor resulted in a 38% increase in mean plasma concentration of mifepristone. For patients already being treated with a strong CYP3A inhibitor, start with a Korlym dose of 300 mg per day and titrate to a maximum of 900 mg per day if clinically indicated. When a strong CYP3A inhibitor is administered to patients already receiving Korlym, adjust the dose as follows: for patients receiving a daily dose of 600 mg, reduce dose to 300 mg. For patients receiving a daily dose of 900 mg, reduce dose to 600 mg. For patients receiving a daily dose of 1200 mg, reduce dose to 900 mg. Titrate if clinically indicated and do not exceed a Korlym dose of 900 mg in combination with a strong CYP3A inhibitor.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Pregnancy; patients taking simvastatin or lovastatin and CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic ranges; patients receiving systemic corticosteroids for lifesaving purposes; women with a history of unexplained vaginal bleeding or endometrial hyperplasia with atypia or endometrial carcinoma; patients with known hypersensitivity to mifepristone or to any of the product components.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Adrenal insufficiency: Patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency.
Hypokalemia: Hypokalemia should be corrected prior to treatment and monitored for during treatment.
Vaginal bleeding and endometrial changes: Women may experience endometrial thickening or unexpected vaginal bleeding. Use with caution if the patient also has a hemorrhagic disorder or is on anticoagulant therapy.
QT interval prolongation: Avoid use with QT interval-prolonging drugs, or in patients with potassium channel variants resulting in a long QT interval.
Use of strong CYP3A inhibitors: Concomitant use increases mifepristone plasma levels. Adjust Korlym dose as described in Dosage and Administration. Use only when necessary and do not exceed a Korlym dose of 900 mg.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common adverse reactions in Cushing's syndrome (≥20%): nausea, fatigue, headache, decreased blood potassium, arthralgia, vomiting, peripheral edema, hypertension, dizziness, decreased appetite, endometrial hypertrophy.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Drugs metabolized by CYP3A: Administer drugs that are metabolized by CYP3A at the lowest dose when used with Korlym.
CYP3A inhibitors: Caution should be used when Korlym is used with strong CYP3A inhibitors. Adjust Korlym dose as described in Dosage and Administration. Use only when necessary, and do not exceed a Korlym dose of 900 mg.
CYP3A inducers: Do not use Korlym with CYP3A inducers.
Drugs metabolized by CYP2C8/2C9: Use the lowest dose of CYP2C8/2C9 substrates when used with Korlym.
Drugs metabolized by CYP2B6: Use of Korlym should be done with caution with bupropion and efavirenz.
Hormonal contraceptives: Do not use with Korlym.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Lactation: Mifepristone is present in human milk, however, there are no data on the amount of mifepristone in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production during long term use of mifepristone.

FDA Grants Priority Review for WINREVAIR™ (sotatercept-csrk) to Update Label Based on Results From ZENITH Trial

RAHWAY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted and granted priority review for a new supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) seeking approval to update the U.S. product label based on the Phase 3 ZENITH trial for WINREVAIR™ (sotatercept-csrk). In 2024, WINREVAIR was approved for the treatment of adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, Group 1 PH) to increase exercise capacity, improve WHO* functional class (FC), and reduce the risk of clinical worsening events. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), or target action date, of Oct. 25, 2025. The sBLA is based on data from the Phase 3 ZENITH trial. The ZENITH trial was the first PAH Phase 3 outcome study to use a primary endpoint comprised entirely of major morbidity and mortality events. It was also the first PAH Phase 3 study stopped early by an independent data monitoring committee for overwhelming efficacy. In ZENITH, WINREVAIR demonstrated a 76% reduction in the risk of a composite of all-cause death, lung transplantation, and hospitalization for PAH ≥24 hours compared to placebo. Improvement was observed early in treatment with increasing benefit throughout the study. The safety profile of WINREVAIR in ZENITH was generally consistent with that observed in previous studies. These results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. 'We are pleased that the FDA has accepted our sBLA for WINREVAIR and granted a priority review to consider an update to labeling for WINREVAIR to include the impressive results of ZENITH. There remains a significant unmet medical need for patients living with PAH who, despite being on background therapy, remain at higher risk of morbidity and mortality,' said Dr. Joerg Koglin, senior vice president, global clinical development, Merck Research Laboratories. 'The FDA's Priority Review designation acceptance of our sBLA reinforces our confidence in WINREVAIR for a broad range of patients and represents a critical step toward advancing the treatment of PAH.' WINREVAIR is currently approved in more than 45 countries based on the results from the STELLAR trial. *World Health Organization About ZENITH The ZENITH study (NCT04896008) is a global, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate WINREVAIR when added to maximum tolerated background PAH therapy on time to first event of all-cause death, lung transplantation, or PAH worsening related hospitalization of ≥ 24 hours, in adult participants with WHO functional class III or IV PAH at high risk of mortality. ZENITH study inclusion criteria required Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-Term PAH Disease Management (REVEAL) Lite 2.0 risk score of ≥9. The study enrolled 172 participants, who were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either WINREVAIR plus background PAH therapy or placebo plus background PAH therapy. The primary composite outcome measure was time to first confirmed major morbidity or mortality event. Events were defined as all-cause death, lung transplantation, or PAH worsening-related hospitalization of ≥ 24 hours. Secondary outcome measures included overall survival, transplant-free survival and several additional measures. The study excluded patients with PAH Group 1 subtypes: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated PAH and PAH associated with portal hypertension as well as diagnosis of pulmonary veno-occlusive diseases, pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis or overt signs of capillary and/or venous involvement. Participants who completed the ZENITH trial were offered the opportunity to receive WINREVAIR as part of the open-label, long-term extension study, SOTERIA (NCT04796337), consistent with that study's eligibility criteria. About WINREVAIR ™ (sotatercept-csrk) for injection, for subcutaneous use, 45 mg, 60 mg WINREVAIR is FDA-approved for the treatment of adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group 1) to increase exercise capacity, improve WHO functional class (FC) and reduce the risk of clinical worsening events. WINREVAIR is the first activin signaling inhibitor therapy approved to treat PAH. WINREVAIR improves the balance between pro-proliferative and anti-proliferative signaling to modulate vascular proliferation. In preclinical models, WINREVAIR induced cellular changes that were associated with thinner vessel walls, partial reversal of right ventricular remodeling, and improved hemodynamics. WINREVAIR is the subject of a licensing agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb. Selected Safety Information for WINREVAIR in the U.S. WINREVAIR may increase hemoglobin (Hgb). Severe erythrocytosis may increase the risk of thromboembolic events or hyperviscosity syndrome. Monitor Hgb before each dose for the first 5 doses, or longer if values are unstable, and periodically thereafter, to determine if dose adjustments are required. WINREVAIR may decrease platelet count. Severe thrombocytopenia may increase the risk of bleeding. Thrombocytopenia occurred more frequently in patients also receiving prostacyclin infusion. Do not initiate treatment if platelet count is <50,000/mm 3. Monitor platelets before each dose for the first 5 doses, or longer if values are unstable, and periodically thereafter to determine whether dose adjustments are required. In clinical studies, serious bleeding (eg, gastrointestinal, intracranial hemorrhage) was reported in 4% of patients taking WINREVAIR and 1% of patients taking placebo. Patients with serious bleeding were more likely to be on prostacyclin background therapy and/or antithrombotic agents, or have low platelet counts. Advise patients about signs and symptoms of blood loss. Do not administer WINREVAIR if the patient is experiencing serious bleeding. WINREVAIR may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use an effective method of contraception during treatment with WINREVAIR and for at least 4 months after the final dose. Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential before starting WINREVAIR treatment. Based on findings in animals, WINREVAIR may impair female and male fertility. Advise patients on the potential effects on fertility. The most common adverse reactions occurring in the phase 3 clinical trial (≥10% for WINREVAIR and at least 5% more than placebo) were headache (24.5% vs 17.5%), epistaxis (22.1% vs 1.9%), rash (20.2% vs 8.1%), telangiectasia (16.6% vs 4.4%), diarrhea (15.3% vs 10.0%), dizziness (14.7% vs 6.2%), and erythema (13.5% vs 3.1%). Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with WINREVAIR, and for 4 months after the final dose. About PAH Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive and life-threatening blood vessel disorder characterized by the constriction of small pulmonary arteries and elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary circulation. Approximately 40,000 people in the U.S. are living with PAH. The disease progresses rapidly for many patients. PAH results in significant strain on the heart, leading to limited physical activity, heart failure and reduced life expectancy. The five-year mortality rate for patients with PAH is approximately 43%.
