On March 5, 2026, Pomerantz LLP announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated, a company dealing in pharmaceutical development. This legal action is primarily directed at individual investors who incurred losses due to purchases of Corcept's stock during a specified class period. Investors are urged to take action promptly as certain deadlines are fast approaching.
The impetus for this lawsuit stemmed from a critical announcement made by Corcept on December 31, 2025. The company disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding Corcept's New Drug Application for relacorilant, a treatment intended for patients suffering from hypertension resulting from hypercortisolism. The letter pointed out that the FDA was unable to confirm a favorable benefit-risk evaluation for relacorilant, emphasizing that further evidence of the drug's effectiveness was required from Corcept.
Consequently, this adverse news led to a dramatic plunge in Corcept's stock price, which declined by a staggering $35.40 per share—over 50%—ending at $34.80 on the day of the announcement. This significant loss has understandably caused distress among investors, prompting Pomerantz LLP to step in and assist those who may wish to seek recompense through the legal system.
Pomerantz LLP, recognized for its strong presence in corporate, securities, and antitrust class action litigation, invites affected investors to reach out for support. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Attorney Danielle Peyton by email at

Pomerantz, often referred to as the dean of the class action bar, the firm continues his legacy of fighting for investors’ rights and holding corporations accountable for their misconduct.
