Description: CORT Corcept Therapeutics

Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated is a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company that develops medications targeting severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic, and neurologic disorders. Its flagship commercial product, Korlym, is an oral therapy approved to treat hyperglycemia in adult patients with endogenous Cushings syndrome who also have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance and are not candidates for surgery. The company is headquartered in Redwood City, California, and has been incorporated since 1998, trading on NASDAQ under the ticker CORT since its 2004 IPO.

Corcepts pipeline centers on a portfolio of proprietary selective cortisol modulators, including relacorilant (for hypercortisolism), miricorilant (currently in a Phase 1b trial for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, or MASH), and candidates such as nenocorilant and dazucorilant being explored for Lou Gehrigs disease (ALS). As a clinical-stage biopharma with a niche specialty drug franchise, Corcept operates in the GICS Pharmaceuticals sub-industry, where its business model combines revenue from a single approved orphan-indication product with ongoing R&D investment across multiple therapeutic areas driven by cortisol-receptor science.
