  • Patent number: 11944617
    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: 20240091385
    Abstract: Combined administration of a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM; e.g., relacorilant or exicorilant) and a cancer therapeutic (e.g., a taxane or antiandrogen) is useful for identifying elevated cortisol activity in patients with cancer or with Cushing's syndrome, and for treating patients with cancer (e.g., ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer). An at least 40% change in RNA levels encoding CDKN1C, TNFRSF17, BRIP1, PDK1, CLEC10A, FPR3, CCR2, LTLRB4, or CD86 indicates that the patient with cancer is likely to benefit from the combined treatment (e.g., likely to have longer survival than similar patients not receiving combined treatment). An active SGRM dose is identified where RNA levels encoding CDKN1C, TNFRSF17, BRIP1, or PDK1 decrease, or where RNA levels encoding CLEC10A, FPR3, CCR2, LTLRB4, and CD86 increase, by at least 40%. Changes in RNA levels encoding CLEC10A, FPR3, CCR2, LTLRB4, and CD86 identify patients with cancer or with Cushing's having elevated cortisol activity.

  • Patent number: 11903945
    Abstract: Methods of Treating Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain with Miricorilant 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.

  • Publication number: 20230355610
    Abstract: Methods for treating a subject having a cancerous tumor are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of a non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM) and an effective amount of a chemotherapeutic agent. The tumor may be cervical cancer. The SGRM may be a fused azadecalin. In embodiments, the SGRM may be a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin or an octahydro fused azadecalin.

  • Publication number: 20230285361
    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.
