Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

On June 4, 2011, we issued a press release announcing detailed findings from our Phase 3 study of CORLUX for the treatment of Cushing’s Syndrome, which show that CORLUX significantly improves clinical and metabolic manifestations of Cushing’s Syndrome, and that CORLUX was well tolerated and enabled almost 50% of patients taking anti-diabetic, insulin and hypertensive medications at enrollment to reduce the dosage by study’s end. The Phase 3 study data were presented as part of a session titled “Will Medical Management Replace Surgery for Cushing Syndrome ” on June 4th at the Endocrine Society’s 93rd Annual Meeting held June 4 – 7, 2011 in Boston.

The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Statements made in this current report on Form 8-K, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, for example, statements relating to the ability of CORLUX to significantly improve clinical and metabolic manifestations of Cushing’s Syndrome in future patients or for an extended period of time and the potential benefit of CORLUX for patients diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that might cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. For example, we cannot assure you that the extension study will receive positive results or that CORLUX will be a beneficial treatment for future patients with Cushing’s Syndrome, that the FDA’s review of our New Drug Application for CORLUX in Cushing’s Syndrome will be favorable or that we will pursue further activities with respect to the development of CORLUX. These and other risk factors are set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and subsequent SEC filings. We disclaim any intention or duty to update any forward-looking statement made in this current report on Form 8-K.
