Sub Clinical Cushing's Syndrome
MedDRA version: 9.1 Level: PT Classification code 10011652 Term: Cushing's syndrome
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: mifedren
Product Name: HRA052015 (mifepristone)
Product Code: HRA052015
Pharmaceutical Form: Tablet
INN or Proposed INN: MIFEPRISTONE
CAS Number: 84371653

Primary Outcome(s)

Primary end point(s): the primary outcome measures are:
1) ambulatory and resting blood pressure are 8 weeks
2) 2-hour glucose tolerance at 8 weeks
Main Objective: The principle research question is, does mifepristone, a glucocorticoid (steroid) receptor antagonist, improve cardiovascular and biochemical profiles in patients with sub-clinical Cushing's Syndrome, a condition where an abnormally high level of steroids (cortisol) are being produced?
Secondary Objective: Are there biochemical markers which predict or explain the response observed with mifepristone in patients with sub-clinical Cushing's Syndrome?
