The company’s research is based on the role of excess cortisol activity in metabolic, psychiatric, oncologic and other serious medical conditions. Corcept’s principal commercial product is Korlym (mifepristone), a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist approved in the United States to control hyperglycemia secondary to endogenous Cushing’s syndrome in adults with type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance who are not candidates for surgery or have had unsuccessful surgery. The company also develops investigational therapies intended to selectively block cortisol’s effects while preserving other functions of the glucocorticoid receptor. Corcept was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Its commercial focus has historically been the United States, where Korlym is marketed, while its research and development programs address potential applications in several therapeutic areas. Joseph K. Belanoff, a co-founder, has served as the company’s chief executive officer.AI Generated. May Contain Errors.
