↑ 5%Corcept Therapeutics is seeing divergent analyst views following legal and regulatory developments. H.C. Wainwright maintained its Buy rating but slashed its price target to $67 from $105, citing a court decision that removed the prospect of blocking Teva's generic Korlym. However, Wolfe Research upgraded the stock, viewing the risk-reward profile as more attractive at current valuations. The FDA approved Lifyorli (relacorilant) combined with nab-paclitaxel for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, based on the ROSELLA trial showing a 35% reduction in death risk. Corcept also submitted a Marketing Authorisation Application to the European Medicines Agency for the same indication. The company issued 2026 revenue guidance of $900 million to $1 billion, whilst facing a securities class action lawsuit alleging it misled investors about FDA approval risks.
Corcept Therapeutics presented final data from its pivotal Phase 3 ROSELLA trial at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2026 Annual Meeting, with simultaneous publication in The Lancet. The trial evaluated Lifyorli (relacorilant) combined with nab-paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The trial met its dual primary endpoints. Patients receiving Lifyorli plus nab-paclitaxel experienced a 35% reduction in death risk compared to nab-paclitaxel alone, with median overall survival of 16.0 months versus 11.9 months. Disease progression risk was reduced by 30%. Lifyorli, approved by the FDA in March 2026, is the first FDA-approved selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonist. The combination has been added to NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines as a preferred regimen for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The trial enrolled 381 patients across multiple countries.

According to the complaint, "Corcept is a pharmaceutical company focused on the development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol. One of its lead new product candidates is relacorilant, which is being developed for multiple indications, including as a treatment for patients with hypercortisolism (also known as "Cushing's syndrome"). The complaint further alleges that "Defendants' Class Period representations that the relacorilant NDA was supported by powerful evidence, that it was approaching approval, and that they had no concerns about the FDA's review were false. In truth, the FDA had repeatedly raised concerns about the adequacy of the clinical evidence supporting the NDA and, as a result, there was a known material risk that Corcept's relacorilant NDA would not be approved." The complaint alleges that the "[t]he truth emerged on December 31, 2025, when Corcept revealed that the FDA had issued a Complete Response Letter... regarding the NDA for relacorilant as a treatment for patients with hypercortisolism. The press release issued by the Company stated that the FDA had 'concluded it could not arrive at a favorable benefit-risk assessment for relacorilant without Corcept providing additional evidence of effectiveness.' The press release quoted Defendant Belanoff as stating that '[w]e are surprised and disappointed by this outcome.' As a result of this disclosure, the price of Corcept common stock declined by $35.40 per share, or 50.4%."

Corcept Therapeutics shares gained nearly 9% this week after receiving US Food and Drug Administration approval for Lifyorli, its leading drug candidate. The treatment was approved for use in combination with nab-paclitaxel to treat platinum-resistant fallopian tube, primary peritoneal and ovarian cancer in patients who previously received one to three systemic treatment regimes. Following the announcement on Wednesday, Wolfe Research analyst Kalpit Patel upgraded his recommendation from underperform to peerperform, though he expressed concerns about the company's Korlym drug weighing on growth potential. The approval demonstrates Corcept's cortisol-focused development approach can succeed beyond Cushing's syndrome treatment, giving the biotech a marketable product in the high-demand cancer segment.
Onco360, the largest independent specialty pharmacy in the US, has been selected as the national pharmacy partner for LIFYORLI (relacorilant) by Corcept Therapeutics. LIFYORLI is indicated in combination with nab-paclitaxel for treating adults with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. LIFYORLI is a reversible glucocorticoid receptor antagonist. Its approval was based on the phase 3 ROSELLA study, which enrolled 381 patients and met its dual primary endpoints of progression-free and overall survival. Onco360, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, operates URAC- and ACHC-accredited oncology pharmacies nationwide, providing clinical support services for oncologists, patients and healthcare facilities.
