Additionally, an interim analysis revealed a significant extension in overall survival, with patients in the combination group reaching a median of 16.0 months versus 11.5 months for the control group. Analysts from H.C. Wainwright maintained their Buy rating and a $145 price target, emphasizing the potential impact of these findings on Corcept’s stock valuation. Meanwhile, Piper Sandler reiterated an Overweight rating with a $131 price target, noting the company’s strong performance in the hypercortisolism market and potential growth from relacorilant.
