What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called miricorilant in 175 adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a serious fatty liver disease. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers measure changes in liver fat using MRI scans over 24 to 48 weeks. The goal is to see if miricorilant can safely reduce liver fat and improve liver health.

Why investors are watching

Corcept Therapeutics is running a Phase 2b trial of miricorilant in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a common liver disease. For a small company, this mid-stage readout is a major test of whether the drug can treat the condition better than a placebo. The result will help investors judge the drug's commercial potential.

If it works: A positive result could show miricorilant works and is safe, which might support further development and eventual approval. That would give Corcept a new product in a large patient population.

If it fails: The trial could fail to show miricorilant beats placebo, or safety problems could emerge. Many Phase 2 trials fail, and a negative result would likely hurt the company's prospects for this drug.
