Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT) today announced positive top-line results from its Phase 3 study of CORLUX for the treatment of Cushing's Syndrome. The study evaluated the response of two patient groups to CORLUX treatment: one included patients who were glucose intolerant and one included patients who were hypertensive. Statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint was achieved for both groups: with 60% responding in the glucose intolerant group and 43% in the hypertensive group. An initial review of safety data indicates that CORLUX was well tolerated by Cushing's Syndrome patients in this Phase 3 study. "The results of the study demonstrate that CORLUX has the potential to become an important treatment option for patients suffering from Cushing's Syndrome," said Joseph Belanoff, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Corcept. "We remain on track to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for CORLUX in Cushing's Syndrome by the end of the first quarter of 2011 and continue to work toward our goal of making CORLUX available to patients with this severe disease."
