Corcept Completes Enrollment in Pivotal Phase 3 Rosella Trial of Relacorilant in Patients With Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer - Seite 2

About Relacorilant
Relacorilant is a selective cortisol modulator that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), but does not bind to the body's other hormone receptors. Corcept is studying relacorilant in a variety of serious disorders, including ovarian, adrenal and prostate cancer and Cushing’s syndrome. Relacorilant is proprietary to Corcept and is protected by composition of matter, method of use and other patents.

About Corcept’s Oncology Programs
Cortisol activity allows solid tumors that express the GR to resist treatment. In some cancers, cortisol inhibits cellular apoptosis — the tumor-killing effect many treatments are meant to stimulate. In other cancers, cortisol activity promotes tumor growth. Cortisol also suppresses the body’s immune response, weakening the body’s ability to fight certain cancers. Modulating cortisol’s activity may reduce these adverse effects and help anti-cancer treatments achieve their intended effect.

Corcept is conducting clinical trials of its proprietary compound, relacorilant, in combination with three different anti-cancer treatments in patients with ovarian, adrenal and prostate cancers.
