RECORLEV® was studied in patients for more than 3 years1,2

  • Up to 35 weeks in LOGICS
  • Up to 73 weeks in SONICS
  • More than 155 weeks in OPTICS

Adverse reactions occurring in ≥20% of Cushing's syndrome patients treated with RECORLEV in LOGICS and SONICS1

LOGICS

Safety Chart 1

aHemorrhage/contusion includes blood urine present, epistaxis, eye hemorrhage, gingival bleeding, hematoma, hematuria, hemorrhoidal hemorrhage, melena, and scleral hemorrhage.

SONICS

Safety Chart 2

aErythema includes flushing.
bHemorrhage/Contusion includes blood urine present, conjunctival hemorrhage, ecchymosis, epistaxis, hematoma, hyphemia, and red blood cells urine.
cAbdominal pain/dyspepsia includes abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, dyspepsia, gastritis, and other related terms.
dArrhythmia includes bradycardia, carotid pulse increased, defect conduction intraventricular, electrocardiogram QT prolonged, electrocardiogram T wave abnormal, heart rate increased, palpitations, and sinus bradycardia.

Pooled safety data (N=166) for hepatic injury and other liver-related adverse reactions and elevations in AST or ALT: at least one liver-related adverse reaction (27%), liver enzyme elevation* (20%), and AST or ALT > ULN (45%).

*Liver enzyme elevation refers to elevation in AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, or gamma-glutamyl transferase.
N=155; Not all elevations in liver enzymes were reported as adverse reactions during the studies.

Treatment discontinuation

  • In the LOGICS study, 15/84 patients (18%) discontinued Recorlev due to a TEAE; the most common TEAE leading to discontinuation was nausea in 3/84 patients (4%)3
  • In the SONICS study, 16/94 patients (17%) discontinued Recorlev due to an adverse reaction;4,5 the most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were liver-related (6/94)4

ALT=alanine aminotransferase; AST=aspartate aminotransferase; TEAE=treatment-emergent adverse event; ULN=upper limit of normal.
