Company overview
Corcept Therapeutics Inc. is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Redwood City, California. The company specializes in the discovery, development, and commercialization of medications that treat severe metabolic, oncologic, and neuropsychiatric disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol. Corcept's primary focus is on addressing the adverse effects of excess cortisol, which can lead to life-threatening conditions including Cushing's syndrome, various cancers, diabetes, and neurological disorders. The company's flagship product is Korlym (mifepristone), the first FDA-approved oral therapy for treating hyperglycemia in adult patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance. With approximately 500 employees, Corcept has developed a large portfolio of proprietary compounds that selectively modulate cortisol effects without compromising progesterone function. The company maintains extensive intellectual property covering its selective cortisol modulators and continues to advance clinical trials for potential treatments of hypercortisolism, advanced ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, ALS, and MASH.
