Corcept Therapeutics
Corcept Therapeutics is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of drugs that modulate the effects of cortisol. High cortisol activity is linked to various severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic, and neurological disorders. The company's approved product, Korlym (mifepristone), is an oral cortisol receptor blocker prescribed for hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery. Corcept also develops a pipeline of proprietary selective cortisol modulators targeting clinical indications in Cushing's syndrome, solid tumors, liver disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
