Shareholder Law Firms Expand Probes of Corcept After FDA CRL for Relacorilant
The agency said it needs additional evidence of effectiveness before assessing the drug for hypertension tied to hypercortisolism.
Overview
- The Schall Law Firm announced a new investigation on January 15 into whether Corcept misled investors about relacorilant, following similar inquiries launched a day earlier by Hagens Berman and Holzer & Holzer.
- The FDA’s Complete Response Letter addressed Corcept’s NDA for relacorilant and stated the agency could not reach a favorable benefit–risk assessment without more evidence of effectiveness.
- Corcept has said the FDA acknowledged GRACE met its primary endpoint and that GRADIENT offered confirmatory data, yet the agency still requested additional proof.
- Corcept’s shares fell about 50% on December 31, 2025, erasing more than $3.6 billion in market value after the CRL disclosure.
- Law firms are urging investors with losses to contact them and, in Hagens Berman’s outreach, potential whistleblowers are being directed to the SEC Whistleblower program.
