Osilodrostat and steroid replacement for Cushing syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new approach, called 'block-and-replace', for treating Cushing syndrome. You will take osilodrostat to lower high cortisol levels, along with a glucocorticoid (a steroid) to replace what your body needs. This study may help control the disease if surgery hasn't worked or isn't an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome caused by your body making too much cortisol (endogenous Cushing syndrome).
- Your doctor is already considering osilodrostat as part of your treatment.
- You have had surgery for Cushing syndrome that didn't fix it, or you are not able to have surgery.

This study tests whether a combination of a drug called osilodrostat (which lowers cortisol levels) and a special PET scan can help find small pituitary tumors that MRI misses. This may help guide surgery or treatment for Cushing's disease.
This trial compares two steroid medicines (hydrocortisone and methylprednisolone) to see which one works better for people whose adrenal glands have stopped working properly after taking high doses of steroids for a long time. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to replace the missing hormones.
This study tests a wearable patch that measures cortisol and aldosterone levels continuously through skin fluid, aiming to improve management of adrenal disorders. If you have Addison's disease, Cushing syndrome, or primary aldosteronism, this could offer a more convenient way to monitor your condition.
This trial tests whether hydrocortisone (a cortisol replacement) helps people who feel symptoms of adrenal insufficiency after they stop long-term prednisolone. It compares hydrocortisone versus placebo to see if symptoms improve and dosing is safer/effective.
This study tests a new medicine called Lu AG13909 for adults with Cushing's disease caused by a pituitary tumor. It aims to see if the medicine can lower cortisol levels and help control the disease.
This study tests a drug called osilodrostat (a pill) to see if it can lower blood pressure in people with Cushing's syndrome. If you have Cushing's and your blood pressure is still high despite medication, this trial might help you find better control.
