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 CORT125329 in Healthy Subjects, With an Optional Pharmacological Effects Cohort

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-related safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacological effects (PD) of CORT125329 after single and multiple ascending oral doses of CORT125329 lipid capsule formulations in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a 3-part, single-center study of single and multiple ascending doses of CORT125329 in healthy participants.

Part 1 will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled assessment of single ascending doses (SAD) of CORT125329 lipid capsule formulations. Participants will be enrolled sequentially into 1 of up to 8 cohorts, each containing 8 participants.

Part 2 will be double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled assessments of multiple oral ascending doses (MAD) of CORT125329 lipid capsule formulations. Participants will be enrolled sequentially into 1 of up to 4 cohorts, each containing 8 participants.

Optional Part 3 will be an open-label, 2-way fixed sequence cross-over study and will serve as proof of PD (glucocorticoid receptor modulation) for CORT125329 lipid capsule formulations. Participants will be enrolled in a single cohort of 10 participants.

Throughout the study, routine safety tests will be performed. In selected parts of the study, assessments of PK (CORT125329), changes in serum cortisol and plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), and changes in hematological and bone biomarkers will be measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CORT125329 lipid capsule formulation and Prednisone in people with Healthy, 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 4 inclusion and 21 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 9 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?

Percentage of Participants with One or More Adverse Events (time frame: SAD Cohorts: up to Day 11; MAD Cohorts: up to Day 23; PD Effect Cohort: up to Day 2 in Period 1 and up to Day 11 in Period 2). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Feb 2022.
