Summary

This trial is testing SPI-62, a possible treatment for Cushing's syndrome, in a group of people with the condition. The study includes a placebo group for comparison.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome not caused by an adrenal tumor. Participants must have consistent cortisol excess and a confirmed diagnosis. They can't join if they've had recent Cushing's surgery, are at risk of tumor growth complications, have conditions that could affect the study, are pregnant or not using contraception, or have had certain past treatments for Cushing's.
What is being tested?
The study tests SPI-62 against a placebo in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Each participant will receive both SPI-62 and a placebo for 24 weeks each, with an option to continue longer. The assignment to either SPI-62 or placebo is random.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of SPI-62 aren't listed here, clinical trials may monitor for common drug-related issues like nausea, headaches, dizziness, allergic reactions or more serious concerns depending on how the drug works.
