Introduction: Alleviating the burden of comorbidities such as hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM), through control of hypercortisolism, is an important treatment goal in the management of Cushing’s syndrome. Osilodrostat, a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, provided rapid, sustained cortisol normalization in Cushing’s disease (CD) patients (pts) in two Phase III studies (LINC 3, NCT02180217; LINC 4, NCT02697734), with improvements in clinical manifestations of hypercortisolism. Here, we report on the long-term changes in blood pressure (BP) and markers of glucose homeostasis in a large, pooled pt population from both trials at weeks (W) 48 and 72. Methods: LINC 3 comprised a 48W core phase, including an 8W randomized withdrawal phase for eligible pts. LINC 4 included an upfront 12W, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled period and 36W of open-label osilodrostat. Both studies had an optional extension. Baseline (BL) HTN was defined as prior diagnosis, taking antihypertensive medication, and/or systolic/diastolic BP (SBP/DBP) >130/>90 mmHg. BL DM was defined as prior diagnosis, taking antidiabetic medication, HbA1c ≥6.5%, and/or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL. Data from LINC 3 and LINC 4 were pooled in a secondary exploratory analysis for all pts with data at BL and the given visit, excluding periods where pts were randomized to placebo. No formal statistical hypothesis testing was performed; all analyses are descriptive. Results: In pts with BL HTN (n=174/210; 82.9%), mean (95% CI) change in SBP/DBP was -13.9 (-18.5, -9.4)/-9.1 (-12.4, -5.8) mmHg at W48 and -14.7 (-20.1, -9.4)/-9.4 (-13.0, -5.7) mmHg at W72 for those not receiving antihypertensive medication during the study, and -8.4 (-11.9, -4.9)/-5.3 (-7.5, -3.1) mmHg at W48 and -10.1 (-14.3, -5.8)/-5.7 (-8.1, -3.2) mmHg at W72 for those who received antihypertensives. Of pts with BL SBP >130 mmHg (n=110), 50.0% had SBP ≤130 mmHg at W48 and 49.1% at W72. Of pts with BL DBP >90 mmHg (n=65), 64.6% had DBP ≤90 mmHg at W48 and 58.5% at W72. The proportion of pts taking antihypertensive medication declined from 54.3% at BL to 47.3% at W72. Mean (95% CI) change in potassium levels was -0.1 (-0.1, 0.0) mmol/L at W48 and 0.0 (-0.1, 0.1) mmol/L at W72 in pts with BL HTN, and -0.1 (-0.3, 0.1) mmol/L at both W48 and W72 in pts without BL HTN. 40.0% (n=84/210) of pts had BL DM. Of pts with BL FPG ≥100 mg/dL (n=60), 43.3% and 33.3% had FPG <100 mg/dL at W48 and W72, respectively. The proportion of pts taking antidiabetic medication declined from 21.9% at BL to 17.1% at W72. Conclusions: Many pts with CD and HTN or DM showed improvements during osilodrostat therapy, which were maintained or further improved with long-term therapy. Cortisol normalization is associated with improvements in hypercortisolism-associated comorbidities in pts with CD. Presentation: 6/2/2024

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
