Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 22, 2010 we issued a press release announcing positive top-line results from our Phase 3 study of CORLUX for the treatment of Cushing's Syndrome. The study evaluated the response of two patient groups to CORLUX treatment: one included patients who were glucose intolerant and one included patients who were hypertensive. Statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint was achieved for both groups: with 60% responding in the glucose intolerant group and 43% in the hypertensive group. An initial review of safety data indicates that CORLUX was well tolerated by Cushing's Syndrome patients in this Phase 3 study.

The information in this Item 7.01 and the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K are being "furnished" pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed "filed" for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
