    Abstract: Methods and uses are disclosed for treating a subject suffering from a disorder selected from a liver disorder, Cushing's syndrome, or Cushing's Disease, cancer, an infection, an inflammatory condition, a cardiovascular, endocrine, or kidney disease, and combinations thereof, or other disorder for which they may be administered a drug which may cause liver toxicity, without adverse effects on the liver. Such liver disorders include fatty liver diseases are effective for reducing high levels of liver enzymes with a favorable safety profile. The methods and uses comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of a selective nonsteroidal glucocorticoid receptor modulator such as relacorilant, including methods and uses in combination with another drug, without adverse effects on liver enzyme levels, or on liver function. In embodiments, the other drug may be a drug that may cause liver toxicity, such as drugs that inhibit CYP3A enzymes, e.g., itraconazole or ketoconazole.

    Abstract: Applicant discloses methods and compositions for treating a patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) comprising administration of a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compound. In embodiments, the heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compound is dazucorilant: (R)-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) sulfonyl)-4, 4a, 5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1-H-pyrazolo[3,4-g]isoquinolin-4a-yl) (pyridin-2-yl)methanone, having the chemical structure illustrated as




    Suitable doses include daily administration of 150 milligrams and 300 milligrams of dazucorilant. Suitable doses include daily administration of dazucorilant with food, or with water, or with food and water. Daily administration of dazucorilant is effective to increase dazucorilant exposure up to about 2-fold when continued for seven days or more. Administration of such a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin compound may comprise oral administration, enteral administration, or other administration. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising dazucorilant are useful in the treatment of patients suffering from ALS. Suitable pharmaceutical compositions comprising dazucorilant include, e.g., pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration and pharmaceutical compositions for enteral administration.

    Abstract: Applicant discloses methods and compositions for reducing liver fat and for treating fatty liver diseases (e.g., non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and nonalcoholic cirrhosis; alcohol related fatty liver diseases including, alcohol fatty liver disease (AFL), alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH), and alcoholic cirrhosis; and liver fibrosis). Significant liver fat reductions were obtained in human patients after only between 30 to 44 days of administration of 600 mg/day or 900 mg/day of the cyclohexyl pyrimidine glucocorticoid receptor modulator miricorilant. Liver fat reductions ranged from 38.5% to 73.8% (magnetic resonance imaging measurements in 4 of 5 patients receiving miricorilant, measured between 16-64 days after cessation of miricorilant administration). A further effect of miricorilant was an increase in liver alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST). Mouse studies showed that miricorilant reduced measures of NAFLD, body weight, liver weight, and liver collagen and galectin-3 levels.

    Abstract: Methods of improving immune function in a cancer patient having a solid tumor are disclosed. The improvement in immune function may slow or stop tumor growth, and may reduce tumor load. Methods include administering effective amounts of a cancer treatment and a nonsteroidal glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM) or selective GRM (SGRM). The cancer treatment may include administration of a checkpoint inhibitor. GRM or SGRM administration may induce checkpoint-inhibitor sensitivity in the cancer. Improved immune function may include increased CD8+ T-cell activation, increased pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, increased TNFα secretion, increased IFNy secretion, and other changes as compared to such activation and secretion prior to GRM administration. In embodiments, immune function is improved after 1, 2, 3, or more days of GRM administration. Other patient characteristics may also be improved by the methods disclosed herein. GRMs include heteroaryl-ketone fused azadecalin and octahydro fused azadecalin GRMs. GRM administration includes oral GRM administration.

    Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for diagnosing a patient suspected of suffering from, and for treating a patient suffering from, a disorder such as hypercortisolemia, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, Cushing's Disease, hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolemia, a liver disease, a cardiac disorder, high blood pressure, a blood clotting disorder, a cancer, a psychological disorder, weight gain, a disorder of glucose control, a bone disorder (e.g., osteoporosis), hypogonadism, pseudoacromegaly, pituitary tumors, functional hypercortisolism, ACTH secreting tumors, peripheral neuropathy, dyslipidemia and other disorders.
    The methods and compositions include administration of a heteroaryl-ketone fused azadecalin glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM). The preferred heteroaryl-ketone fused azadecalin GRM is relacorilant ((R)-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-((1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)sulfonyl)-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-g]isoquinolin-4a-yl)(4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)methanone). In some cases, the GRM (e.g., relacorilant) is orally administered. In some cases, the GRM (e.g., relacorilant) is orally administered without food.
