Introduction: The steroidogenesis inhibitor osilodrostat (OSI), indicated for the medical treatment of endogenous Cushings syndrome, exhibits significant interindividual variability regarding the response to treatment (Pivonello et al. 2020). Plasma exposure may contribute to this variability. Our objective was to investigate the effect of concomitant use of mitotane (MIT), a potent inducer of CYP450 (3A4), on circulating OSI concentrations in patients treated for an adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).
Methods: Plasma OSI concentrations were determined every 4 hours over 24 hours (sampling at 8 h, 12 h, 16 h, 20 h, 24 h and 4 h) by LCMS/MS (Balakirouchenane et al. 2023) in 27 patients (19 with Cushings disease, 4 with ectopic adrenocorticotropic secretion, 3 with macronodular bilateral adrenal hyperplasia and 1 with ACC) treated with OSI as a monotherapy (OSI group, 33 cycles), and in 3 patients treated with OSI in association with MIT (OSI-MIT group, 8 cycles) for ACC. OSI was administered twice daily. Daily doses of OSI and plasma levels of MIT were expressed as median (min-max). The area under the OSI concentration curve (AUC-OSI) was used as pharmacokinetic endpoint.
Results: The AUC-OSI was well correlated with the daily dose of osilodrostat in both the OSI group (Spearman r=0.83462; OSI 10 mg/day (240)) and the OSI-MIT group with plasma MIT level > 10 mg/l (Spearman r=0.9487; OSI 50 mg/day (2060); plasma MIT level 19.1 mg/l (13.526.6)). Normalized to the daily dose, the AUC-OSI was statistically decreased in the OSI-MIT group compared to the OSI group (medians: 14.10 vs 27.10 ng/ml.h; P<0.001), as well as the residual concentration (P=0.003). In a single patient, higher plasma MIT level seemed associated with higher reduction in OSI plasma exposure.
Discussion: Mitotane significantly decreases plasma exposure to osilodrostat in patients treated for a cortisol-secreting ACC. Monitoring plasma levels of osilodrostat could thus be particularly useful for therapeutic adaptation in these patients.
