Senior Regional Clinical Research Associate

Corcept is leading the way in the research and development of cortisol modulators, molecules that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To date, we have discovered more than 1,000 selective proprietary cortisol modulators.

In 2012, we received FDA approval of Korlym® (mifepristone), the first approved treatment for hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome).

Today, our team and collaborators continue to unlock the possibilities of cortisol modulation as a way to treat serious diseases. With more than 30 ongoing studies across a wide range of disease areas, including endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology, we remain dedicated to advancing the possibilities of cortisol modulation.

What began as a ripple of scientific truth is now poised to unleash a sea change of discovery representing a fundamental shift in the way we understand and treat disease.

The Senior Regional Clinical Research Associate (SRCRA) serves as the primary liaison to clinical trial sites participating in Corcept-sponsored studies.

• Maintain regular communication with the Lead RCRA (LRCRA) to report on site progress and resolve issues
• Assess site readiness and resourcing (personnel, facilities, supplies) for trial conduct
• Collaborate with vendors (e.g., central lab, imaging core) to resolve operational issues
