Study to Determine the Prevalence of Hypercortisolism in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Treatment With Korlym® (Mifepristone) (CATALYST)
Study of Hypercortisolism in Patients With Difficult to Control Type 2 Diabetes Despite Receiving Standard-of-Care Therapies: Prevalence and Treatment With Korlym® (Mifepristone) (CATALYST)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Jan 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This is a Phase 4 study with 2 parts: Part 1 (Prevalence Phase) is non-interventional and will assess the prevalence of hypercortisolism in a population with difficult to control type 2 diabetes (T2D) (hemoglobin A1c ≥7.5%) despite receiving standard-of-care therapies. Part 2 (Treatment Phase) is a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind multi-center trial that will assess the safety and efficacy of mifepristone treatment in patients with hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Systemic glucocorticoid medications exposure (excluding inhalers or topical) within 3 months of screening.
- Has taken any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to screening, or within less than 5 times the drug's half-life, whichever is longer.
- Has poorly controlled hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism before first dose of study drug (confirmed by TSH or free thyroxine)
- Takes drugs metabolized by CYP3A and CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic ranges
- Receiving systemic corticosteroids that cannot be discontinued
Other illness
- Has type 1 diabetes mellitus.
- New-onset diabetes less than 1 year.
- On hemodialysis or has end-stage renal disease.
- Has severe psychiatric illness by history (such as schizophrenia or dementia) as judged by the Investigator.
- Has severe medical or surgical illness as judged by the Investigator.
- Has had the diagnosis of Cushing syndrome or has used or plans to use any of the following treatments for Cushing syndrome:
- \- Mifepristone, metyrapone, osilodrostat, ketoconazole, fluconazole, aminoglutethimide, etomidate, octreotide, larazotide, pasireotide, long-acting octreotide or pasireotide.
- Has a history of hypersensitivity or severe reaction to dexamethasone
- For Part 2:
- Requires inhaled glucocorticoid use and may require systemic glucocorticoids if their condition deteriorates during study
- Has severe, poorly controlled hypertension at screening (defined as mean systolic BP \>160 mmHg or mean diastolic BP \>100 mmHg); must be able to correct to a BP of \<160/100 mmHg before first dose of study drug

Age
- Is pregnant or lactating. For women of childbearing potential, have a positive pregnancy test before dexamethasone administration. A woman of childbearing potential includes all women \<50 years old, women whose surgical sterilization was performed \<6 months ago, and women who have had a menstrual period in the last 12 months.

OR Taking 2 or more anti-hyperglycemic drugs AND a.) the presence of 1 or more micro-vascular or macro-vascular complication (retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease, diabetic neuropathy, atherosclerotic heart disease with diabetes); AND/OR b.) concomitant hypertension requiring 2 or more anti-hypertension medications.
- Women on oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) may be screened but must be willing and able to stop OCPs for at least 3 weeks prior to the dexamethasone suppression test.
- Has completed Part 1 of the study with post-DST cortisol level of \>1.8 μg/dL and dexamethasone level ≥140 ng/dL
