Crinetics Presents Clinical and Research Results at ENDO 2022

SAN DIEGO, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRNX) announced that results from the company’s Phase 1 study of CRN04894, the company’s investigational candidate for the treatment of Cushing’s disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and other conditions driven by excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), were selected for an oral presentation at ENDO 2022, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting. Crinetics recently reported that administration of CRN04894 reduced both serum cortisol levels and 24-hour urine free cortisol excretion in the presence of sustained, disease-like ACTH concentrations in multiple-ascending dose cohorts of a Phase 1 study.

Results from the company’s Phase 1 study of CRN04777, the company’s investigational candidate for the treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) will be presented as a narrated “Poster Plus.” A late-breaking Poster Plus will also be presented on the company’s preclinical-stage parathyroid hormone (PTH) antagonist for the treatment of hypercalcemia. Poster Plus presenters will participate in Meet-and-Greet sessions and their posters will be accompanied by 5-minute videos for attendees.
