Corcept starts pivotal Cushing’s syndrome study

In September, the company reported that the FDA had opened the investigational new drug application (IND) for Corlux for the treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome, which allowed it to initiate this 50-patient open label study. In the communication regarding the opening of the IND, the FDA indicated that a single study may provide a reasonable basis for the submission of a new drug application for the treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome.
