The current clinical focus of our rare endocrine franchise is on developing new therapies to treat rare endocrine disorders, such as Cushing's syndrome. Our lead product candidate is RECORLEV® (levoketoconazole), an investigational cortisol synthesis inhibitor for endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by sustained elevated cortisol levels, presents unique clinical challenges to patients and healthcare providers.

The focus of our rare neuromuscular franchise is Primary Periodic Paralysis (PPP). Our commercial effort is on KEVEYIS® (dichlorphenamide), the first and only FDA-approved treatment for hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and related variants of PPP.
Primary Periodic Paralysis (PPP) is a spectrum of rare and chronic, genetic disorders that cause recurrent, progressive, and debilitating attacks of muscle weakness and temporary paralysis.1,2 PPP often interferes with daily activities as attacks are unpredictable and vary in severity and duration. As they age, patients may experience permanent muscle weakness.3 Symptoms are often nonspecific with varying clinical presentations; PPP is not easily diagnosed and may go untreated for many years.3,4 Although there are related variants, the most common forms are hyperkalemic and hypokalemic PPP.5-9
