• Participants under glucocorticoid replacement therapy can be recruited only if this therapy has been already stopped for at least seven days or 5 half-lives prior to screening, whichever was longer
• Not taking any drug therapy for CS. The following minimum periods without these medications need to be completed before baseline assessments:

• Presence of any severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition or other conditions that could affect participation in the study
• Participants who are scheduled for a surgery to treat CS within 32 weeks of randomisation to the study drug
• Presence of a known "long term" history of both hypertension and diabetes (defined as both hypertension and diabetes diagnosed >10 years prior to the initial diagnosis of endogenous CS)
• History of cyclic Cushing's Syndrome with fluctuating clinical manifestations
• Participants with pseudo-CS
• Participants with compression of the optic chiasm due to a macroadenoma or participants at high risk of compression of the optic chiasm (tumour within 2 mm of optic chiasm)

• Ectopic ACTH syndrome or adrenocortical carcinoma with a life expectancy of <3 years or receiving chemotherapy
• Having received prior mitotane treatment
• Participants who are shift workers or have conditions that can affect the measurement of late night salivary cortisol (LNSC) or the LDDST
• Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus with a baseline HbA1c > 10.5%
• Poorly controlled BP defined as: Average SBP ≥ 170 or average DBP ≥ 110 mmHg as measured by the 24h ABPM

• History of major surgery/surgical therapy for any cause within 1 month before entering the study.
• Presence of bradycardia and/or QT-related exclusion criteria
• Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN and ALT or AST > 3 x ULN
• Participation in any clinical investigation within 4 weeks prior to screening or longer if required by local regulation (Use of an investigational drug within 1 month prior to dosing)
• Occurrence of any significant acute illness within the three weeks prior to dosing/randomisation
• Female participants who are pregnant, intending to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study or lactating, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are unwilling to use highly effective contraception methods
• Potentially unreliable or vulnerable participants (e.g. person kept in detention) and those judged by the Investigator to be unsuitable for the study
