Study Summary

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal and rescue/restoration study in subjects with endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (CS) previously treated with single-arm, open-label levoketoconazole that will assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of levoketoconazole.

Primary Outcome

Urinary free cortisol (UFC) level measurement: Loss of therapeutic response is inferred based on mUFC from three 24-hour UFC measurements obtained at any visit from second through final Randomized Withdrawal Phase visits (RW1 through RW5 inclusive) when: (1) mUFC is above 1.5X the ULN of the central laboratory's reference range, OR (2) mUFC is more than 40% above the baseline (RW0) value, if the RW0 value is above the ULN (i.e. \>1.0X ULN)1, OR (3) an early rescue criterion is met.
