Study Arms (9)

SAD Cohorts 1 through 6

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive single doses of 5 mg up to 400 mg of CORT125134 (capsule) in a dose escalation format. The doses selected will be subject to amendment based on emerging data.

Drug: CORT125134

SAD Cohorts 1 through 6 Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will receive single doses of Matching Placebo of CORT125134 (capsule).

Drug: Matching Placebo of CORT125134

Food Effect Cohort 7

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a single dose of CORT125134 (capsule) with a standard high fat breakfast. The dose will be chosen such that it has been previously administered in a prior SAD cohort.

Drug: CORT125134

Pharmacological Effect Cohort 8

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a single dose of 25 mg of prednisone on Day -19; a single dose of 25 mg prednisone and 600 mg of mifepristone on Day -12; and a single dose of 25 mg prednisone and a single dose of CORT125134 on Day 1. The dose of CORT125134 will be chosen such that it has been previously administered in a prior SAD cohort.

Drug: CORT125134Drug: MifepristoneDrug: Prednisone

Proof of Concept (POC) Cohort 9

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a single dose of 25 mg of prednisone on Day -19; a single dose of 25 mg of prednisone and 600 mg of mifepristone on Day -12; and a single dose of 25 mg prednisone and a single dose of CORT125134 on Day 1. An oral glucose tolerance test will be administered on each study day. The dose of CORT125134 will be chosen such that it has been previously administered in a prior SAD cohort.

Drug: CORT125134Drug: MifepristoneDrug: PrednisoneDrug: Glucose

MAD Cohorts 10 and 11

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive the selected dose of CORT125134 (capsule) following receipt of data from Cohorts 1-9 up to a maximum frequency of twice a day for a total of 14 days.

Drug: CORT125134

MAD Cohorts 10 and 11 Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will receive Matching Placebo of CORT125134 (capsule) up to a maximum frequency of twice a day for a total of 14 days.

Drug: Matching Placebo of CORT125134

MAD of PoPE Cohorts 12 and 13

EXPERIMENTAL

Proof of Pharmacological Effect (PoPE+POC). Participants will receive 25 mg of prednisone (both cohorts) and an oral glucose tolerance test (Cohort 13 only) on Day -5. Participants will then receive the selected dose of CORT125134 (capsule) for a total of 13 days. Participants may either receive a higher dose level than previously administered or a repeat of a dose level given in 1 of the previous 2 MAD Cohorts. Participants will then receive 25 mg of prednisone (both cohorts) and an oral glucose tolerance test (Cohort 13 only) on Day 14.

Drug: CORT125134Drug: PrednisoneDrug: Glucose

MAD of PoPE Cohort 12 and 13 Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will receive 25 mg of prednisone (both cohorts) and an oral glucose tolerance test (Cohort 13 only) on Day -5. Participants will then receive the Matching Placebo of CORT125134 (capsule) for a total of 13 days. Participants will then receive 25 mg of prednisone (both cohorts) and an oral glucose tolerance test (Cohort 13 only) on Day 14.
