Corcept Therapeutics Announces Second Quarter Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

July 29, 2026 4:05 PM

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol, today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Results

“Our oncology and Cushing’s syndrome businesses delivered strong results in the second quarter.

In our oncology business, over 1,300 patients have now started treatment with Lifyorli following FDA approval in March 2026. Demand for Lifyorli has accelerated each month with physicians responding favorably to Lifyorli’s efficacy and safety profile, oral administration and lack of biomarker requirement.

Our Cushing’s syndrome business, once again, had a record number of new prescriptions written for our medications as physicians increasingly recognize hypercortisolism’s true prevalence and the necessity of appropriate treatment. We expect this trend to continue as the findings from our CATALYST and MOMENTUM studies are fully incorporated into clinical practice.

We anticipate continued strength across our businesses and have increased our 2026 revenue guidance to $1.1 – $1.2 billion,” said Joseph K. Belanoff, M.D., Corcept’s Chief Executive Officer.

Corcept’s second quarter 2026 revenue was $256.1 million, compared to $194.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Korlym and authorized generic product revenue was $208.6 million, compared to $194.4 million in the prior year period. Lifyorli product revenue was $47.6 million in its first quarter of availability.

Second quarter 2026 operating expenses were $214.8 million, compared to $167.8 million in the same period in 2025, due to increased spending to launch Lifyorli and investments in our Cushing’s syndrome business. Net income per common share (diluted) was $0.36 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.29 in the prior year period.

Cash and investments were $544.6 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $515.4 million at March 31, 2026.

Clinical Development

“The FDA’s approval of Lifyorli (relacorilant) in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is the first step in advancing glucocorticoid receptor antagonism as a treatment for many types of cancer. Our oncology development program aims to establish the broad utility of our medicines to help many more patients. We anticipate that the European Medicines Agency will approve our Marketing Authorization Application of relacorilant in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer later this year. We expect results from our trial of relacorilant with nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer by the end of this year. Our studies of relacorilant to treat platinum-sensitive ovarian, endometrial, cervical and pancreatic cancers are expected to produce results by the end of next year. Our study of nenocorilant with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab to treat a variety of solid tumors will also produce results by the end of next year,” said Dr. Belanoff.

“We resubmitted our New Drug Application (NDA) for relacorilant in Cushing’s syndrome in June. Relacorilant has the potential to help many patients and it’s important it is available as quickly as possible. We expect a decision on our NDA by December 17, 2026.

In addition, results from MONARCH, our Phase 2b trial in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are expected by the end of this year. We also plan to start a Phase 3 trial of dazucorilant in patients with ALS, with the goal of replicating the significant survival benefit observed in our Phase 2 DAZALS study,” added Dr. Belanoff.

Hypercortisolism (Cushing’s Syndrome)

“Our studies have shown that patients with hypercortisolism who receive relacorilant experience clinically and statistically significant improvements in the multiple signs and symptoms of the disease. Importantly, relacorilant delivers these improvements without the off-target effects and serious adverse events associated with currently available treatments,” said Bill Guyer, PharmD, Corcept’s Chief Development Officer. “Relacorilant has the potential to become the new standard of care.”

“The need for better treatment for patients with hypercortisolism is urgent. Our CATALYST and MOMENTUM studies demonstrate that hypercortisolism is an underlying driver of disease for many patients with diabetes and hypertension whose health is at risk because their disease isn’t adequately managed with standard-of-care treatments. These findings will lead to increased screening and improved treatment for patients with hypercortisolism,” added Dr. Guyer.

“There is tremendous potential for glucocorticoid receptor antagonism to help treat many types of solid tumors. Our Phase 3 ROSELLA trial demonstrated that adding Lifyorli to nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy reduced the risk of death in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer by 35 percent, without the need for biomarker selection. Our ongoing oncology studies, many of which will produce results by the end of next year, build on these findings by evaluating the role of our medications across a broad range of tumor types and treatment combinations. We will continue to advance and expand our research to realize the substantial opportunity before us,” added Dr. Guyer.

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH)

“Data from our Phase 1b study demonstrated that miricorilant rapidly reduced liver fat while improving fibrosis, liver enzymes and other markers of liver health, including key metabolic and lipid measures. We look forward to building on these promising findings in our Phase 2b MONARCH study, with results expected by the end of this year,” said Dr. Guyer.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

“Patients with ALS often have elevated cortisol levels. Data from our Phase 2 DAZALS study showed that patients treated with dazucorilant exhibited a profound reduction in early mortality, during a period when many patients with ALS still retain significant function and maintain good quality of life,” said Dr. Guyer. “Our ongoing dose-titration study’s goal is to improve gastrointestinal tolerability and inform next steps for this program.”
