About Corcept Therapeutics
Incorporated
Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated is a pharmaceutical company engaged
in the development of drugs for the treatment of severe psychiatric and
neurological diseases. Corcept's lead product, CORLUX®, is currently
in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of the psychotic features
of psychotic major depression (PMD). The drug is administered orally to
PMD patients once per day for seven days. CORLUX, a potent GR-II antagonist,
appears to mitigate the effects of the elevated and abnormal release patterns
of cortisol seen in PMD. Corcept is also conducting a clinical trial to
evaluate the safety and efficacy of our product in improving cognition
in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. For additional
