Corcept Therapeutics Case Study

A case study on Quotient Sciences' accelerated approach to integrated clinical manufacturing and Phase 1 clinical trials

Corcept Therapeutics, based in California, USA, is a pharmaceutical company focused on the impact of cortisol on health and the development of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists. Following its foundation in 1998, the company successfully developed Korlym® (mifepristone), a dual GR and progesterone receptor (PR) antagonist for the treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (Hypercortisolism), a disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, the dual action of mifepristone limited the circumstances in which the drug can be used, and there was a need for a selective 'next generation' medication offering all of the benefits but without the associated risks.

Quotient Sciences were approached to help Corcept Therapeutics in their development of CORT125134. This was contracted out to us due to our ability to integrate clinical manufacturing and clinical trial dosing at the same location.
