Safety and Efficacy of LCI699 for the Treatment of Patients With Cushing's Disease

Summary

The study aimed to confirm long-term efficacy and safety of LCI699 for the treatment of patients with Cushing's disease. It was a pivotal trial which supported the registration of LCI699 for the treatment of patients with Cushing's disease in the US and the EU. This is a phase lll, multi-center, double-blind, randomized withdrawal study of LCI699 following a 24 week, single-arm, open-label dose titration and treatment period which evaluated the safety and efficacy of LCI699 for the treatment of patients with Cushing's disease.
