About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Adaptive Dose, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered CORT113176 in Healthy Subjects, With an Optional Pharmacological Effects Cohort

This is a 3-part, first-in-human study of single ascending doses (SAD; Part 1) and multiple ascending doses (MAD; Part 2) of CORT113176 in healthy participants; Part 3 is an optional part to investigate whether CORT113176 ameliorates the effects of prednisone on various pharmacodynamic (PD) endpoints. The 3 parts may not be conducted entirely sequentially provided that this is justified by pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety data obtained from completed cohorts. The first MAD cohort will not start until data are available from at least 2 SAD levels to allow MAD administration in the fasted state, or until after a food-effect cohort has been dosed in the SAD phase to allow MAD administration in the fed state. The expected exposure for the daily MAD level at steady state (taking into consideration potential accumulation on repeat dosing) must not exceed the highest exposure considered to be safe and well tolerated during preceding SAD cohorts.

Study groups in NCT04249323
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1: SAD Cohorts A through H CORT113176ExperimentalCohorts will receive a single dose of CORT113176 lipid capsule formulation by mouth on Day 1 in a fasted or fed state. Cohort A will receive a 50-mg dose in a fasted state. Cohort B will receive a ≤3-fold increase in dose from Cohort A in a fasted state; the dose will be determined after evaluation of safety and PK data for Cohort A. Subsequent cohorts will receive a ≤3-fold increase in CORT113176 dose from the previous cohort in a fasted or fed state; the dose and prandial state will be determined after evaluation of safety and PK data from previous cohorts. Following interim review of PK data, an alternative lipidic formulation may be administered beginning with Cohort B.
Receives: Drug: CORT113176 Lipid Capsule Formulation
Part 1: SAD Cohorts A through H PlaceboPlacebo comparatorCohorts will receive a single dose of placebo matching CORT113176 lipid capsule formulation by mouth on Day 1. The dose of placebo, prandial state, and choice of formulation will match that used for the corresponding SAD cohorts receiving CORT113176.
Receives: Drug: Placebo matching CORT113176 Lipid Capsule Formulation
Part 2: MAD Cohorts A through D CORT113176ExperimentalCohorts will receive once- or twice-daily doses of CORT113176 lipid capsule formulation by mouth for 14 days. The anticipated exposure will not exceed the highest exposure considered safe and well-tolerated during Part 1. The dose schedule and prandial state will be determined after evaluation of safety and PK data from Part 1. The choice of formulation of CORT113176 to be used in Part 2 will depend on data review for Part 1.
Receives: Drug: CORT113176 Lipid Capsule Formulation
Part 2: MAD Cohorts A through D PlaceboPlacebo comparatorCohorts will receive once- or twice-daily doses of placebo matching CORT113176 lipid capsule formulation by mouth for 14 days. The dose of placebo, prandial state, and choice of formulation will match that used for the corresponding MAD cohorts receiving CORT113176.
Receives: Drug: Placebo matching CORT113176 Lipid Capsule Formulation
Part 3: Single Dose Pharmacodynamic EffectExperimentalIn Period 1, participants will receive a single dose of prednisone 25 mg tablet by mouth on Day 1 in a fasted or fed state. After a 7-day washout, in Period 2, participants will receive a single dose of prednisone as in Period 1 plus a single dose of CORT113176 lipid capsule formulation by mouth on Day 1 in a fasted or fed state. The dose of CORT113176 and the prandial state will be determined after evaluation of safety and PK data from Part 1. The choice of formulation of CORT113176 to be used in Part 3 will depend on data review for Part 1. Part 3 will proceed only if sufficiently high plasma CORT113176 exposure is achieved in Part 1.
Receives: Drug: CORT113176 Lipid Capsule Formulation; Drug: Prednisone

  3. Apparent Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of Plasma CORT113176

    Measured: Before dosing and at pre-specified time points up to Day 9 (Part 1 SAD Cohorts), up to Day 23 (Part 2 MAD Cohorts), or Days 10-19 (Part 3 Cohort)

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of CORT113176

    Measured: Before dosing and at pre-specified time points up to Day 9 (Part 1 SAD Cohorts), up to Day 23 (Part 2 MAD Cohorts), or Days 10-19 (Part 3 Cohort)

  5. Serum Cortisol

    Measured: Predose on Days 1 and 14 (Part 2 MAD Cohorts)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CORT113176 Lipid Capsule Formulation and Prednisone in people with Healthy Adults, run by Corcept Therapeutics at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with One or More Adverse Events (time frame: Part 1 SAD Cohorts: up to Day 9; Part 2 MAD Cohorts: up to Day 23; Part 3 Cohort: up to Day 19). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2022.
