Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated discovers, develops, and commercializes drugs for the treatment of severe metabolic, oncologic, and neuropsychiatric disorders in the United States. The company offers Korlym (mifepristone) tablets as a once-daily oral medication for the treatment of hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adult patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome, who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance, and have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery. It is developing relacorilant to treat patients with Cushing's syndrome; and nab-paclitaxel in combination with relacorilant, which has completed Phase II clinical trial to treat patients with advanced ovarian tumors, as well as for the treatment of cortisol excess. The company is also developing selective cortisol modulator to treat patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; selective cortisol modulator for the treatment of antipsychotic-induced weight gain and other disorders; and FKBP5 gene expression assays. Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated was incorporated in 1998 and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California.

Recent News & Research

PubMed

Overall survival with relacorilant and nab-paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (ROSELLA): a phase 3 randomised controlled trial.

# ROSELLA Trial Summary for CORT Investors The ROSELLA phase 3 trial demonstrates that relacorilant (Corcept's selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonist) combined with nab-paclitaxel improves overall survival in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients, potentially establishing a new standard of care in a significant unmet need. This positive OS data—the primary endpoint—supports relacorilant's commercial viability beyond its established indication (adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing's syndrome) and validates the immunomodulatory mechanism in solid tumors. The result substantiates Corcept's pipeline expansion strategy and could enable label expansion into platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, opening a larger addressable market with meaningful clinical differentiation.

Efficacy and safety of relacorilant for the treatment of patients with Cushing's syndrome (GRACE): a multicentre, phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised-withdrawal study.

# GRACE Trial Summary for CORT Investors **Clinical Findings:** The GRACE trial demonstrates that relacorilant (CORT's lead candidate) met its primary endpoint, showing statistically significant efficacy in reducing cortisol levels in Cushing's syndrome patients during the randomized-withdrawal phase, with a favorable safety profile supporting differentiation from existing therapies like mifepristone. **Commercial Implications:** This Phase 3 data strengthens CORT's competitive position in the rare Cushing's syndrome market, potentially supporting FDA approval and providing clinical evidence for market adoption; however, investors should assess the magnitude of benefit versus Korlym (mifepristone) and the addressable patient population to evaluate peak sales potential and timing to commercialization. **Why It Matters:** Cushing's syndrome is a high-unmet-need, ultra-rare indication with limited treatment options

Radiographic Progression With and Without Prostate-Specific Antigen Rise in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer Treated With Enzalutamide.

# Investment Summary: Not Applicable to CORT **This research is not relevant to Corcept Therapeutics.** The study examines enzalutamide (an androgen receptor antagonist developed by Astellas/Medivation) in prostate cancer patients, which is outside CORT's therapeutic focus. CORT's pipeline centers on glucocorticoid receptor modulators for Cushing's syndrome and other endocrine/metabolic disorders, with no overlap in indication, mechanism, or competitive positioning with prostate cancer therapeutics. **Recommendation:** Flag and exclude from CORT-specific tracking.

Integrating Tumor Biology and Host Factors in mCRPC: The Prognostic Value of 'Time to Castration Resistance', Systemic Inflammation, and Comorbidity Burden in Patients Treated with Enzalutamide.

# Investment Summary: Limited Direct Relevance to CORT This study examines prognostic factors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with enzalutamide—a competitive product space where Corcept has no marketed presence. The research identifies biomarkers (time to castration resistance, systemic inflammation, comorbidity burden) that could inform patient stratification and treatment outcomes, but does not evaluate glucocorticoid receptor antagonists or address any mechanism relevant to Corcept's pipeline. **Investor Implication:** This article has minimal direct impact on CORT's valuation or clinical strategy, as it focuses on an oncology indication outside Corcept's therapeutic focus (Cushing's syndrome, PCOS, depression). Investors should continue monitoring Corcept's own clinical programs rather than this external prostate cancer literature.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor is critical for both AR-dependent and AR-indifferent enzalutamide resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer.

# Research Summary: AhR-Mediated Enzalutamide Resistance in CRPC **Summary:** This study identifies the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a critical driver of enzalutamide resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), functioning through both androgen receptor (AR)-dependent and AR-independent mechanisms. The finding suggests that dual AhR/AR targeting could overcome a major therapeutic resistance pathway affecting a significant proportion of advanced prostate cancer patients. **Investment Implications:** While this research does not directly implicate Corcept's mifepristone (glucocorticoid receptor antagonist), it highlights an emerging resistance mechanism in CRPC that could create companion diagnostic or combination therapy opportunities. For CORT investors, this underscores the competitive complexity in oncology and may indirectly validate glucocorticoid signaling as a complementary
