Company Overview

Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing orally delivered, nonpeptide therapies for endocrine diseases and other conditions with significant unmet medical needs. The company’s research platform is designed to create selective small-molecule medicines that can act on clinically important hormone receptors.

Crinetics’ lead product candidate is paltusotine, an oral somatostatin receptor type 2 agonist being developed for endocrine disorders including acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome. Unlike injectable therapies commonly used in these conditions, paltusotine is intended to provide an oral treatment option. The company is also advancing additional discovery and development programs targeting other endocrine and rare diseases.

Founded in 2008, Crinetics is headquartered in San Diego, California, and serves patients and healthcare markets internationally through its research and clinical development activities. The company was co-founded by Scott Struthers, Ph.D., who has served as its president and chief executive officer.
