Abstract: Applicant discloses methods and compositions for reducing liver fat and for treating fatty liver diseases (e.g., non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and nonalcoholic cirrhosis; alcohol related fatty liver diseases including, alcohol fatty liver disease (AFL), alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH), and alcoholic cirrhosis; and liver fibrosis). Significant liver fat reductions were obtained in human patients after only between 30 to 44 days of administration of 600 mg/day or 900 mg/day of the cyclohexyl pyrimidine glucocorticoid receptor modulator miricorilant. Liver fat reductions ranged from 38.5% to 73.8% (magnetic resonance imaging measurements in 4 of 5 patients receiving miricorilant, measured between 16-64 days after cessation of miricorilant administration). A further effect of miricorilant was an increase in liver alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST).

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating a subject at risk of, or suffering from antipsychotic-induced weight gain are disclosed. The methods include administration of a cyclohexyl pyrimidine glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM) such as miricorilant (CORT118335) to a patient receiving, or who has received, or who is expected to receive, an antipsychotic drug such as olanzapine, risperidone, clozapine, or other weight-inducing antipsychotic medication. The GRM (e.g., miricorilant) may be orally administered. Administration of such a GRM along with antipsychotic medication may reduce the amount of weight, or reduce the rate of weight gain, or prevent weight gain, otherwise due to antipsychotic medication alone. The methods may reverse weight gain in a patient previously administered antipsychotic medication.
