About Corcept Therapeutics Incorporat

About Corcept Therapeutics Incorporat

Corcept Therapeutics has marketed Korlym (mifepristone) in the United States for hypercortisolism since 2012, adding an authorized generic in June 2024; all revenue flows from these two products for Cushing's syndrome. On December 30, 2025, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter declining to approve relacorilant for hypercortisolism, while a second relacorilant NDA for ovarian cancer — accepted in September 2025 — carries a PDUFA date of July 11, 2026.

Korlym and its generic are distributed through Curant Health Georgia, LLC, which became the primary specialty pharmacy vendor in Q4 2025 following termination of the Optime Care relationship in October 2025; the Curant agreement runs to June 2028. Curant collects payments from insurers representing more than 99% of Corcept's revenue. The company's sales model targets physicians via sales representatives and medical science liaisons, with patient assistance programs funding co-pay support. Payer mix includes Medicare and Medicaid; the Inflation Reduction Act's Part D price negotiation program currently exempts orphan drugs indicated for only one rare disease — covering Korlym — and drugs with less than $200 million in annual Medicare expenditures. Generic competition from Teva entered in January 2024; the Federal Circuit affirmed no patent infringement on February 19, 2026, and litigation settlements with Sun Pharmaceutical and Hikma Pharmaceuticals allow those companies to enter commercially if Teva remains in the market.

Show full overview

The December 30, 2025 Complete Response Letter for the hypercortisolism NDA is the most immediate binary risk to Corcept's pipeline; the FDA required additional efficacy evidence despite the GRACE trial meeting its primary endpoint and the GRADIENT trial providing confirmatory data in patients with adrenal-etiology disease. The ovarian cancer indication carries a separate risk profile: the ROSELLA trial met dual primary endpoints for progression-free survival (hazard ratio 0.70, March 2025) and overall survival (hazard ratio 0.65, January 2026), supporting the July 11, 2026 PDUFA date, but any additional FDA request before that date could delay approval.
