Corticotroph tumor progression during long-term therapy with osilodrostat in a patient with persistent Cushing's disease.

Purpose: Corticotroph tumor progression (CTP) or Nelson's syndrome (NS) can occur in patients with Cushing's disease (CD) following bilateral adrenalectomy. It has rarely been observed in patients treated with long-term medical therapy for persistent CD. Osilodrostat (LCI699) is a new steroidogenesis inhibitor of 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11β1) that induced remission of hypercortisolism in 86% of patients with refractory CD in the randomized placebo-controlled trial LINC-3 (NCT02180217).
