$XERS $CORT Pretty cool story. Seems Strongbridge(Merged with Xeris) followed a similar path with Ketoconazole by purifying it into the levo enantiomer and getting it approved for Cushings syndrome for a relatively low cost. It is important when investing to not only worry about a rising stock price but also the people who's lives have been drastically changed by these medications. The work Corcept and now Xeris is doing to change how these patients are identified allows more people to find a path to having a life they actually want to be alive for. The focus here should be on posting facts instead of attacking each other with outright falsehoods or half-truths. https://kffhealthnews.org/news/how-a-drugmaker-turned-the-abortion-pill-into-a-rare-disease-profit-machine/#:~:text=When%20the%20Food%20and%20Drug,1%2C000%20patients%20in%20the%20U.S.)

$XERS $CORT At the end of the day, the main goal should be access and options for patients needing medicine for these awful conditions. Corcept did a disservice to both themselves and patients by not heeding the FDA's warnings. Patients currently have 3 options and one of them has a generic which is great to help reduce costs over time. This market still has a lot of room to grow as more patients are identified. I could care less about CORT's stock price or their revenue as I am not an investor. It does look like it could 10x from here in 10 years just like XERS will most likely do as well in 5 to 10 years. Maybe split your investment across these 2 if you are worried one way or the other.

$XERS $CORT Recorlev's upside is substantial, to say the least, because it is a direct cortisol-lowering treatment and therefore a primary therapy, addressing approximately 75–80% of the patient population. The growth potential there is significant. Korlym, by contrast, is a secondary treatment, addressing roughly 20–25% of patients, primarily those who cannot tolerate direct cortisol-lowering therapies due to issues such as liver toxicity or other contraindications. In other words, Recorlev addresses the majority of the treatable Cushing's patient population (roughly ~75–80%), as it directly lowers cortisol and fits first-line treatment paradigms, while Korlym is more naturally positioned for a smaller subset (~25–30%) of patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond to direct cortisol-lowering therapies. And they are not even in competition with each other, the 20-25% that can not tolerate Recorlev/Direct cortisol-lowering, will go naturally to Korlym/etc. Simple equation.

$XERS $CORT (Gemini) ​2. Why Korlym is Holding Steady ​The expected "threat" from Recorlev has been mitigated by a few key factors: ​Different Mechanisms of Action: Korlym is a cortisol receptor blocker (it stops the hormone from working), while Recorlev is a steroidogenesis inhibitor (it stops the body from making cortisol). Doctors often view them as complementary or for different patient profiles rather than direct "either/or" substitutes. ​Market Expansion: Increased awareness and better diagnostic tools are identifying more Cushing’s patients than ever before. This "rising tide" is lifting both boats. ​Generic Buffer: Corcept’s launch of its own authorized generic of Korlym has helped it retain budget-conscious patients who might have otherwise switched to newer or different therapies.

$XERS $CORT (Gemini) While Recorlev (marketed by Xeris Biopharma) has seen explosive growth since its 2022 launch, it has not "cannibalized" Korlym’s sales in a way that has led to a decline. Instead, both drugs are growing simultaneously as the overall market for Cushing’s syndrome treatments expands. ​Here is a breakdown of how the competition is playing out as of early 2026: ​1. The Financial Reality ​Despite Recorlev's rapid adoption, Korlym (and its authorized generic) continues to hit record revenues. ​Korlym (Corcept): In 2024, Korlym generated $675 million (a 40% increase over 2023). For 2025, Corcept projected revenues between $800 million and $850 million, showing that Korlym's market position remains dominant. ​Recorlev (Xeris): Recorlev is growing even faster by percentage, with 2025 revenues reaching approximately $139 million (a 100%+ year-over-year increase).

$AQST one note just to be objective. It looks like $CORT ankounced the December CRL before it was public. The letter is dated Dec 30 but the announcement by the company was at 8 on Dec 31 and there was no press before then. May have something to do with the CRL last summer.

$CORT Okay, the reality of Relacorilant CRL has completely soaked in. Most likely additional trial is needed pushing resubmission and approval from late 2027 to 2028. Let's scale back our expectation accordingly. Korlym should support a SP around $50 to $60. Relaorilant+chemo for PROC will be approved by 7/11/26, which should add $50 to the SP in 2027. Relacorilant for Cushing will be approved in 2028, which should add another $100 to the SP in 2028/29. Dazucorilant for ALS will be approved in 2028, which should add another$100 to the SP in 2028/29. From these 4 drugs, TP of $300 is realistic. There are other cancer drugs under clinical trials, and will add $100's to the SP in 3 to 5 years.

$CORT Recorlev vs. Relacorilant (3): Form Gemini, we didn't see liver injury as one of the reasons for the FDA CRL as other so-called experts sent by Xeris Biopharma (XERS) shouted out loudly here. "Enriched" cohorts is not the poor design and/or management's fault, but the natural progression of the trial. The small sample size is more ridiculous: Recorlev: SONICS ~ 94, LOGICS ~ 79 w/ 44 randomized. Relacorilant: GRACE ~ 152, GRADIENT ~ 137 Even if 45% made to the randomized phase, it was 68 in GRACE, which is 24 more than in LOGICS. So, FDA god, what is your standard to call it "small?" So, I got it, the FDA god wants to deny or delay Relacorilant for Cushing by another 18 to 24 months, and in the meantime, 1) Force Cushing sufferers to take Korlym with low risk or Recorlev with 13% risk of liver injury and some of them would require an organ transplant, and 2) For all other Cushing sufferers, especially for the female population, go without treatment for at least next two years.

$CORT Recorlev vs. Relacorilant according to Gemini (2): 2. The Hurdle: Why Relacorilant was Denied: In contrast, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for relacorilant on 12/30/25. The issue wasn't necessarily that the drug was "dangerous," but that the data was seen as inconclusive: - "Enriched" Population Problem: In the pivotal GRACE trial, the FDA noted that while the primary endpoint was met, it was conducted in a "highly enriched" population (only 45% of patients made it to the randomized withdrawal phase). The FDA argued this "likely overestimates the treatment effect" and doesn't represent for the general patient population. - "Failed" Confirmatory Trial: The GRADIENT trial, failed its primary endpoint. Corcept tried to show success through a subgroup - dismissed by FDA as "unreliable" due to small sample & missing data. - Prior Warnings: FDA actually warned Corcept multiple times during development that their trial designs might be insufficient to prove effectiveness.

$CORT I asked Gemini AI "Is FDA fair to approve recorlev but deny relacorilant?" Here is the results (1): 1. The Evidence: Why Recorlev was Approved Recorlev (levoketoconazole) was approved in December 2021. The FDA's decision was based on two Phase 3 studies (SONICS and LOGICS) that showed clear, statistically significant results: - Demonstrated Efficacy: It successfully lowered and normalized urinary free cortisol (UFC) levels in a consistent manner across the study population. - Clear Benefit-Risk: While Recorlev has serious risks (like liver toxicity and heart rhythm issues), the FDA determined these could be managed through a REMS program (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) because the drug’s ability to control cortisol was undeniable.

$CORT Absolutely, from Gemini 3 AI (note the "Gold Standard"): In the world of oncology, a 30% reduction in the risk of death (often reported as a Hazard Ratio of 0.70) is generally considered clinically significant and is often the "gold standard" target for new, practice-changing therapies. 1. Relative vs. Absolute Gain This is the most critical distinction to understand when reading about cancer drug breakthroughs. Relative Risk (The 30%): This tells you how much better the new drug is compared to the old one. If the "hazard" of dying at any given moment is 30% lower, the drug is considered very potent. Absolute Gain (The "Actual Time"): A 30% reduction in risk looks very different depending on the type of cancer: In aggressive, late-stage cancer: If the median survival is 6 months, a 30% risk reduction might only extend life by ~2 months. In slower-growing or early-stage cancer: If the median survival is 10 years, that same 30% reduction could mean 3 extra years of life.
