| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Percentage of Participants Who Were Biochemical Responders at Week 28 | Week 28 | Biochemical response was defined as a participant who a) was in biochemical control at the 08:00 assessment and b) was receiving a total daily dose of hydrocortisone of not more than 25 mg if the participant was in biochemical control at baseline or not more than 30 mg if the participant was not in biochemical control at baseline. Biochemical control was defined as both a 17-OHP concentration equal to or below the upper limit for optimal control (1200 ng/dL \[36.4 nmol/L\]) and an A4 concentration equal to or below the upper limit of the reference range (150 ng/dL \[5.2 nmol/L\] for men and 200 ng/dL \[7.0 nmol/L\] for women). Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants Who Were Dose Responders at Week 28 | Week 28 | Dose response was defined as a participant who a) was receiving a total daily dose of hydrocortisone of not more than 25 mg and b) was in biochemical control at the 08:00 assessment. Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Total Daily Dose of Hydrocortisone at Week 28 | Week 28 | Least squares (LS) mean was assessed using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM). Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants in Biochemical Control | Baseline and Week 28 | Biochemical control was defined as both a 17-OHP concentration (assessed at 08:00) equal to or below the upper limit for optimal control (1200 ng/dL \[36.4 nmol/L\]) and an A4 concentration equal to or below the upper limit of the reference range (150 ng/dL \[5.2 nmol/L\] for men and 200 ng/dL \[7.0 nmol/L\] for women). Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Mean of 08:00 and 13:00 17-OHP Levels at Week 28 | Baseline, Week 28 | LS mean was assessed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Mean of 08:00 and 13:00 A4 Levels at Week 28 | Baseline, Week 28 | LS mean was assessed using ANCOVA. Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Menstrual Regularity (Females of Childbearing Potential Only) at Week 28 | Week 28 | Data are presented for the number of participants with more than monthly menstrual cycles, monthly menstrual cycles, and number of participants with oligomenorrhoea and amenorrhoea. Oligomenorrhoea was defined as fewer than 9 menstrual cycles per year or cycle length \>35 days and amenorrhoea as absent menses for ≥ 3 months. Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Luteinizing Hormone Levels (Males Only) at Week 28 | Baseline, Week 28 | LS mean was assessed using ANCOVA. Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Percent Change From Baseline in Size of Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors at Week 28 (Males Only) | Week 28 | Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Hirsutism at Week 28 Using the Ferriman-Gallwey Score (Females Only) at Week 28 | Baseline, Week 28 | Ferriman-Gallwey score is a method used to assess and quantify hirsutism in women. A total score \< 8 is considered normal whereas a score of 8 to 15 indicates mild hirsutism. A score \>15 indicates moderate or severe hirsutism. The Ferriman-Gallwey score ranged from 0 to 36. Higher score indicated more hirsutism. Change from baseline is reported (negative change from baseline indicated improvement). LS mean was assessed using ANCOVA. Assessment of efficacy at Week 28 was a composite of each participant's on-treatment visit closest in time to 28 weeks post randomization. |
