    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Methods and compositions for treating a subject at risk of, or suffering from antipsychotic-induced weight gain are disclosed. The methods include administration of a cyclohexyl pyrimidine glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM) such as miricorilant (CORT118335) to a patient receiving, or who has received, or who is expected to receive, an antipsychotic drug such as olanzapine, risperidone, clozapine, or other weight-inducing antipsychotic medication. The GRM (e.g., miricorilant) may be orally administered. Administration of such a GRM along with antipsychotic medication may reduce the amount of weight, or reduce the rate of weight gain, or prevent weight gain, otherwise due to antipsychotic medication alone. The methods may reverse weight gain in a patient previously administered antipsychotic medication. Administration of such a GRM with antipsychotic medication may reduce, or reduce gain in, or prevent gain in, or reverse gain in, insulin resistance or blood levels of liver enzymes (AST, ALT), triglycerides, or insulin.

    摘要: Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein.
    Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant.
    Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone. Relacorilant and such reduced doses of paclitaxel may be co-administered to treat cancer, e.g., ovarian or pancreatic cancer.
