* Patients with confirmed pituitary origin Cushing syndrome defined as 1, 2\& 3 or 4 \& 5 below:

  1. Persistent hypercortisolism defined as a mean of 3 consecutive 24h UFC at baseline assessment ≥ 1.3x ULN
  2. Normal or elevated plasma ACTH levels
  3. Pituitary adenoma \> 4mm visible on MRI or inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) central to peripheral ACTH gradient \>2 at baseline and/or \>2 after DDAVP stimulation.
  4. Recurrent or persistent CD defined as pathologically confirmed previously resected pituitary ACTH-secreting tumor, and 24 hour UFC \>ULN at least 4 weeks after pituitary surgery.
  5. Patients on medical treatment for CD. Washout periods will be completed as below before screening: Inhibitors of steroidogenesis (metyrapone, ketoconazole, osilodristat,

     * Dopamine agonists (cabergoline): 4 weeks
     * CYP3A4 strong inducers or inhibitors: varies between drugs; minimum 5-6 times the half-life of drug

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with compromised visual fields, or evidence of visual changes within past 6 months
* Patients with sellar tumor abutting or compressing the optic chiasm on MRI and normal visual fields
* Patients with Cushing's syndrome not due to an ACTH-secreting pituitary tumor
* Patients who have undergone major surgery including pituitary surgery within 1 month of screening or who have any major surgical procedures planned across the study period
* Patients with serum potassium \< 3.5 mEq/L unless stably controlled on potassium supplementation
* Patients with poorly-controlled Diabetes mellitus evidenced by HbA1c levels \>8
* Patients with poorly controlled hypertension (i.e. blood pressure ≥ 160/100 mm Hg)
* Patients who have clinically significant cardiovascular impairment, as evidenced by the presence of bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia, history of myocardial infarction within past year, or any other cardiovascular impairment that may pose significant health risk in view of the investigator.

Male participants must utilize a condom with spermicidal cap/jelly and agree to not donate sperm for up to 3 months beyond main study period.
* Patients who have participated in any clinical investigation with an investigational drug within 1 month prior to screening or within 5 half-lives of the investigational treatment whichever is longer.
* Patients with concomitant treatment of strong CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors.
