Description: CORT Corcept Therapeutics January 06, 2026
Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CORT) is a U.S.-based biopharma that discovers and develops drugs for severe endocrine, oncologic, metabolic, and neurologic disorders, with its commercial focus currently on Korlym, a tablet approved to treat hyperglycemia secondary to hypercortisolism in adult Cushing’s syndrome patients who also have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance and are not surgical candidates.
Beyond Korlym, Corcept’s pipeline includes relacorilant (Phase III for hypercortisolism and in combination with nab-paclitaxel for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer), a Phase 1b program targeting adrenal cancer and cortisol excess, a Phase II trial for prostate cancer, dazucorilant (Phase II for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and miricorilant (Phase IIb for metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis).
As of the latest 2024 filing, the company generated roughly $115 million in annual revenue, with ~ $260 million of cash and equivalents, giving it a runway of about 18 months without additional financing. The Cushing’s syndrome market is estimated at $1.5 billion globally, and glucocorticoid-receptor antagonists are a niche but growing segment within the broader endocrine-therapeutics space, which is being driven by an aging population and increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders.
Given Corcept’s reliance on a single commercial product and the high clinical-trial attrition risk inherent in its diversified pipeline, investors should closely monitor upcoming Phase III readouts for relacorilant and any FDA actions on Korlym’s labeling, as these events could materially shift the company’s cash-flow outlook.
