LCI699, a Potent 11β-hydroxylase Inhibitor, Normalizes Urinary Cortisol in Patients With Cushing's Disease: Results From a Multicenter, Proof-of-Concept Study

摘要

Introduction:The clinical features and increased mortality associated with Cushing's syndrome result from a chronic excess of circulating cortisol. As LCI699 potently inhibits 11β-hydroxylase, which catalyzes the final step of cortisol synthesis, it is a potential new treatment for Cushing's disease, the most common cause of endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
