corticosterone and Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion

corticosterone has been researched along with Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion in 7 studies

Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion: A disease of the PITUITARY GLAND characterized by the excess amount of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secreted. This leads to hypersecretion of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) by the ADRENAL GLANDS resulting in CUSHING SYNDROME.

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants That Experience Changes in Clinical Signs of Hypercortisolemia

The number of participants that achieved a urinary free cortisol level above the upper limit of the normal range but reduced by ≥50% from baseline at week 4. (NCT02160730)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 4

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
R-roscovitine2

Number of Participants That Have a Visible Change in Tumor Size

A visible change in tumor size as determined by the investigator after reviewing MRI reports between baseline and 4 weeks of treatment. (NCT02160730)
Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
R-roscovitine0

Number of Participants With a Normalized 24 Hour Urinary Free Cortisol After 4 Weeks

"To evaluate the efficacy of R-roscovitine 400 mg oral administration twice daily for 4 days every week for total of 4 weeks on normalizing 24 hour urinary free cortisol (24 h UFC) levels in CD patients. Normalizing is defined as having urine free cortisol levels within the normal range for that lab value." (NCT02160730)
Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
R-roscovitine0

Number of Participants With Adverse Events
