Relacorilant

Relacorilant is used together with another medicine called nab-paclitaxel to treat specific types of ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer in adults.

Relacorilant is given when other treatments have not worked or have stopped working.

Relacorilant may also be used for reasons not mentioned in this medication guide.

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Relacorilant is taken with food on the day before, the day of, and the day after your nab-paclitaxel treatment.

Swallow the capsule whole and do not crush, chew, break, or open it.

If you vomit shortly after taking relacorilant, do not take another dose. Take your next dose as scheduled.

Your blood may need to be tested often.

Tell your doctor if you have a planned surgery.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Relacorilant can cause serious side effects. You may get infections more easily. Call your doctor if you have fever, chills, or feel sick. Relacorilant can lower your adrenal hormone levels, especially during stress, if you are sick, have an infection, or after surgery. Call your doctor if you feel very tired, dizzy, or nauseous.

You should not use relacorilant if you are receiving certain steroid medicines to save your life. Relacorilant can make those steroids less effective.

You should not use relacorilant if you are allergic to it, or if you:

• need steroid medicines taken by mouth or given by injection for a life-threatening condition such as after an organ transplant or to treat an autoimmune disease.

• planned surgery or surgery within the past 30 days; or

Relacorilant can harm an unborn baby if the mother or the father is using this medicine.

Sometimes it is not safe to use certain medicines together. Some drugs can change the blood levels of other drugs you are taking, which may increase side effects or make the medicines work less effectively.

• seizure medicines;
• certain antibiotics;
• HIV medicines;
• cancer medicines;
• herbal products like St. John's wort; or
