Corcept Therapeutics completes enrollment in Phase 3 GRADIENT trial

Corcept Therapeutics announced completion of enrollment in GRADIENT, a Phase 3 trial of its proprietary selective cortisol modulator relacorilant in patients with Cushing’s syndrome (hypercortisolism) caused by an adrenal adenoma or adrenal hyperplasia. “Hypercortisolism with adrenal etiology affects many patients and is associated with serious cardiometabolic comorbidities, including hypertension and hyperglycemia, and increased risk of premature death,” said Bill Guyer, PharmD, Corcept’s Chief Development Officer. “GRADIENT is the first prospective placebo-controlled study to be conducted exclusively in these patients with Cushing’s syndrome. We expect data from GRADIENT in the fourth quarter of this year.”
