Osilodrostat has proven clinical efficacy and tolerability in phase 2 and 3 trials with CD patients who had an inadequate or reoccurring response to transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) and conventional first-line treatment. The phase 3 trial (LINC3) had 86% of the treatment group respond with normal urinary free cortisol (UFC) level compared to 29% in the placebo group (p < 0.001). Deemed as well-tolerated in all current pivotal trials, oral osilodrostat provides a noninvasive option for patients who cannot undergo surgery or patients who have reoccurring hypercortisolemia.
