Corcept: Leading the Way in Cortisol Modulation

Corcept is at the forefront of research and development of cortisol modulators, molecules that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). We have discovered over 1,000 proprietary cortisol modulators to date.

In 2012, we received FDA approval for Korlym (mifepristone), the first treatment approved for hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome).

Our team and collaborators continue to explore cortisol modulation as a treatment for serious diseases. With over 30 ongoing studies across endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology, we are committed to advancing this field.

What started as scientific discovery is now poised to revolutionize our understanding and treatment of disease.
