Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an endocrine‑focused pharmaceutical company that has transitioned to commercial stage with PALSONIFY (paltusotine), its first FDA‑approved product. PALSONIFY was approved on September 25, 2025 as the first once‑daily oral somatostatin receptor ligand for adults with acromegaly who had an inadequate response to surgery or cannot undergo surgery.
The company is pursuing broader use of paltusotine, including a Phase 3 CAREFNDR trial in carcinoid syndrome and a European marketing application, where CHMP issued a positive opinion in February 2026. Crinetics is also advancing atumelnant, an oral ACTH antagonist in Phase 3 CALM‑CAH and pediatric BALANCE‑CAH studies for congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and preparing a seamless Phase 2/3 trial in ACTH‑dependent Cushing’s syndrome.
CRN09682, the first candidate from its nonpeptide drug conjugate platform for SST2‑positive tumors, entered a Phase 1/2 BRAVESST2 study after IND clearance in 2025. Crinetics holds a broad patent estate extending into the 2040s, partners selectively in Japan and certain technologies, and emphasizes rare endocrine diseases with significant unmet need.
