Chemistry:Relacorilant
Relacorilant, sold under the brand name Lifyorli, is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.[1] Relacorilant is a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]
The most common adverse reactions include decreased hemoglobin, decreased neutrophils, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, decreased platelets, rash, and decreased appetite.[2]
Relacorilant was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2026.[2]
Medical uses
Relacorilant is indicated in combination with nab-paclitaxel for the treatment of adults with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens, at least one of which included bevacizumab.[1]
Adverse effects
The US prescribing information includes a contraindication for people who require corticosteroids for a lifesaving indication as well as warnings and precautions for neutropenia and severe infections, adrenal insufficiency, exacerbation of conditions treated with glucocorticoids, and embryo-fetal toxicity.[2] The most common adverse reactions include decreased hemoglobin, decreased neutrophils, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, decreased platelets, rash, and decreased appetite.[2]
