Our Values


We are the leaders in discovering and developing drugs that modulate the effects of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol modulation has the potential to treat serious endocrine, metabolic, oncologic, psychiatric, and ophthalmologic disorders. We are determined to make that potential a reality.


Patients come first. We develop medications that meet their medical needs. No patient is denied a Corcept medication for financial reasons. Everyone at Corcept has the same goal; developing safe and effective medical therapies for patients who need them.


Supporting patients and advancing science form the foundation of our culture. To meet our ambitious goals, we foster a diverse and collaborative environment that values each of our employees and their unique contributions.
