  • Patent number: 12616685
    Abstract: Relacorilant is useful in the treatment of hypercortisolism and cancer. Many drugs useful in treating hypercortisolism or cancer are metabolized by CYP2C9 enzymes. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C9 substrate are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C9 in an in vitro test, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C9 substrate would be expected to increase the CYP2C9 substrate plasma exposure more than five-fold in vivo. Significant reductions in CYP2C9 substrate doses would be expected to be required when administered with relacorilant. Surprisingly, no such increase in plasma exposure was seen in human studies. Applicant discloses that relacorilant may be safely co-administered with unmodified doses of a CYP2C9 substrate such as, e.g., tolbutamide, glimepiride, and glipizide.

  • Patent number: 12589094
    Abstract: Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant. Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone.

  • Publication number: 20250381178
    Abstract: Applicant discloses methods and compositions for treating a patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) comprising administration of a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compound. In embodiments, the heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compound is dazucorilant: (R)-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1-H-pyrazolo[3,4-g]isoquinolin-4a-yl)(pyridin-2-yl)methanone, having the chemical structure illustrated as Suitable doses include daily administration of 150 milligrams and 300 milligrams of dazucorilant. Suitable doses include daily administration of dazucorilant with food, or with water, or with food and water. Daily administration of dazucorilant is effective to increase dazucorilant exposure up to about 2-fold when continued for seven days or more. Administration of such a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compound may comprise oral administration, enteral administration, or other administration.

  • Publication number: 20250360125
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating a patient suffering from Huntington's Disease or for treating symptoms of Huntington's Disease are disclosed. The methods include administration of an effective amount of a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM) or an octahydro fused azadecalin GRM to the patient. In embodiments, the GRM is dazucorilant. In embodiments, the GRM is zavacorilant. In embodiments, the GRM is orally administered. In some embodiments, the GRM is administered daily; in other embodiments, the GRM is administered on a schedule such as, e.g., once every other day, once every three days, once per week, or other administration schedule. Symptoms of Huntington's Disease that may be treated by the present methods include, without limitation, motor symptoms (e.g., muscle weakness, postural irregularities, difficulty walking, difficulty swallowing), and neurological or psychological symptoms (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20250312312
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating a subject hosting a non-ACTH-secreting pancreatic tumor are disclosed. The methods include administering to the subject a chemotherapeutic agent and a glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM), preferably a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM), to reduce the tumor load in the subject. The GRM may be a nonsteroidal GRM, and may be a nonsteroidal SGRM. The non-ACTH-secreting pancreatic tumor may be an exocrine pancreatic tumor. The nonsteroidal SGRM may be a nonsteroidal compound comprising: a fused azadecalin structure; a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin structure; or an octahydro fused azadecalin structure. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a chemotherapeutic agent and a GRM are disclosed. The GRM in such pharmaceutical compositions may be a nonsteroidal GRM, and may be a SGRM, such as a nonsteroidal SGRM.
