ISTURISA (osilodrostat phosphate)

First-in-Class Orphan Drug
Endocrine Approved 2020-03-06

Isturisa treats adults with Cushing’s syndrome who suffer from endogenous hypercortisolemia. It is used for patients who are unable to undergo surgery or for those whose surgical procedures were not curative. This medication helps manage the condition by controlling the overproduction of cortisol in the body.

How ISTURISA Works

This drug works by inhibiting 11beta-hydroxylase, which is the enzyme responsible for the final step of cortisol synthesis in the adrenal gland. By blocking this specific enzyme, the medication reduces the body's ability to produce cortisol.
