Metyrapone treatment in endogenous Cushing’s syndrome. Results from a prospective multicenter, open-label, phase III/IV study: PROMPT

Background: Metyrapone is a steroidogenesis inhibitor approved in Europe for the treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS) based on observational retrospective studies published over more than 50 years. We present data from the first prospective study designed to confirm metyrapone efficacy and good tolerance in patients with CS.

Methods: This single arm, open-label, multicenter, international trial enrolled 50 patients with CS who had three baseline 24 hours urine free cortisol (UFC) values at least 50% above the upper limit of normal (ULN = 165 nmol/24 h). Metyrapone was titrated over 12 weeks (W12) to achieve normal urine (mean of 3 values, mUFC) and serum cortisol levels. Patients whose mUFC did not exceed 2.5-fold the ULN could enter a 6-month extension period. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with mUFC ≤ ULN at W12 assessed in a central laboratory using LC-MS/MS. The most important secondary endpoint was a mUFC decrease of ≥ 50% at W12.

Results: At baseline, mean age was 47 years, mean mUFC (s.d.) was 1042 (1337) nmol/24 h and median mUFC (range) was 570 (291–8476) nmol/24 h (3.5 × ULN). Diabetes mellitus (65%) and hypertension (51%) were the most common comorbidities at baseline. At W12: 48% (23 of 48 patients) met the primary endpoint. Another 40% (19 of 48 patients) had mUFC ≤ 2 × ULN at W12. Median percentage decrease in mUFC from baseline to W12 was –74%. Secondary endpoint was met by 81% of patients who had a mUFC decrease of 50%. Final median metyrapone dose was 1500 (250; 5500) mg/day at W12. At W12, circulating cholesterol, HbA1C and fasting glucose improved with mean decrease of 12%, 3% and 6% respectively and median systolic and diastolic blood pressure also decreased by 3.4 and 3.5 mmHg respectively. At W12, ACTH increased 20% (+ 9 ng/l) from baseline. Twenty six (52%) patients experienced mild to moderate related adverse events (AEs). One patient discontinued before W12 because of an unrelated SAE on day 2 (pneumonia with septic shock). The most common AEs were nausea (24%), decreased appetite (18%), fatigue (14%), headache (10%), peripheral edema (6.0%), hypokalemia (6.0%) and hypertension (6.0%). Reversible adrenal insufficiency occurred in 6 (12%) patients.

Conclusions: This prospective study in patients with CS confirms that metyrapone effectively lowers UFC levels with a tolerability profile similar to the previously reported safety profile.
