<h3>Navigating the Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.

The primary endpoint was the reduction in hemoglobin A1c between these groups. CATALYST met its primary endpoint.

Complete results from CATALYST will be presented at a medical conference next year.
The safety profile of Korlym was consistent with the medication&#8217;s label, and no new side effects or adverse events were identified.

CATALYST is a prospective, Phase 4 study with two parts. The first part assessed the prevalence of hypercortisolism by screening 1057 patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes, defined as hemoglobin A1c greater than 7.5 percent despite receiving optimal therapies, including GLP-1 agonists. Of these patients, 23.8 percent were identified as having hypercortisolism and were eligible to enter CATALYST's treatment phase, in which 136 patients were randomized, 2:1, to receive either Korlym or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was the reduction in hemoglobin A1c between these groups.
CATALYST met its primary endpoint. Patients who received Korlym exhibited a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in hemoglobin A1c, with a decrease from baseline of 1.47 percent as compared to a decrease of 0.15 percent in patients who received placebo (placebo-adjusted reduction of 1.32 percent; p-value: &lt; 0.0001).

Corcept Announces Primary Endpoint Met In Treatment Phase Of CATALYST Trial In Patients With Hypercortisolism And Difficult-To-Control Diabetes

Corcept Therapeutics shares are trading lower after the company announced results from its Phase 2 DAZALS study evaluating two doses of dazucorilant in patients with ALS did not meet its primary endpoint.

Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORT#NASDAQ">CORT</a>), a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic, and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol, today announced results from the DAZALS study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 trial evaluating two doses (150 mg and 300 mg) of its proprietary selective cortisol modulator dazucorilant in patients with ALS. Upon completion of the trial, patients were eligible to enter an open-label, long-term extension study, in which they received 300 mg of dazucorilant.
DAZALS did not meet its primary endpoint, which was the change from baseline in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) in patients who received dazucorilant compared to those who received placebo. Patients who received dazucorilant experienced substantially more gastrointestinal upset at the onset of treatment than those who received placebo. During the 24-week study, no deaths (0/83) were observed in the 300 mg arm, compared to 5 deaths (5/82) in the placebo group (p-value: 0.02). The open-label, long-term extension study will continue and overall survival will be assessed in March 2025 after all patients have had one year pass since the onset of treatment. Dazucorilant has been granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Complete results from the DAZALS study will be presented at a medical conference next year.
