Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CORT) has launched the MOMENTUM clinical trial to investigate the prevalence of endogenous hypercortisolism (Cushing's syndrome) in patients with resistant hypertension. The study will enroll 1,000 patients across 45 U.S. sites.
The trial follows the successful CATALYST study, which found that one in four patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes has hypercortisolism, with higher prevalence in patients requiring three or more hypertension medications. Patients will be identified as having hypercortisolism if they show dexamethasone suppression test values >1.8 µg/dL and dexamethasone levels >140 ng/dL.
Led by Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt, Director of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, the study aims to better understand treatment opportunities for resistant hypertension patients. Results are expected by year-end.

Corcept Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CORT) presented results from its Phase 3 long-term extension study of relacorilant for treating hypercortisolism at WCIRDC. The study, involving 116 patients with treatment duration up to six years, demonstrated significant cardiometabolic improvements. At month 24, patients showed notable reductions in mean systolic blood pressure (10.0 mm Hg; p=0.012) and mean diastolic blood pressure (7.3 mm Hg; p=0.016).
The drug was well-tolerated, and patients maintained improvements in various cardiometabolic measures, including glycemic control and body weight. Patients who resumed relacorilant after receiving placebo showed both reversal of deterioration and additional improvement. The company plans to submit a new drug application (NDA) this month.
