Abstract
Pituitary tumors may be reduced in size by administration of relacorilant. Pituitary tumors include, without limitation, non-secreting tumors, hormone-secreting tumors, adenomas, and carcinomas. Relacorilant administration may be effective to reduce hormone secretion from a hormone-secreting pituitary tumor, e.g., to reduce adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) secretion. A pituitary tumor may be imaged before and/or after relacorilant administration. Relacorilant may be administered independent of surgery, and before, during, or after surgery to treat a pituitary tumor. Relacorilant may aid or improve surgical outcomes, and may reduce the size or growth of pituitary tumor tissue before surgery, and any tumor tissue remaining following surgical treatment. Relacorilant may be orally administered for the treatment of pituitary tumors. Relacorilant may be orally administered to a fasted patient, or to a fed patient. Relacorilant may be administered in conjunction with other pituitary tumor targeting treatments, including surgical treatments, radiation treatments, chemotherapy for carcinomas, and other pharmaceutical treatments.
