Corcept is leading the way in the research and development of cortisol modulators that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To date, we have discovered more than 1,000 selective proprietary cortisol modulators. In 2012, we received FDA approval of Korlym® (mifepristone), the first approved treatment for hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome). Today, our team continues to unlock the possibilities of cortisol modulation as a way to treat serious diseases across more than 30 ongoing studies encompassing endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology.
