In its latest earnings report, Crinetics Pharmaceuticals announced the successful U.S. launch of its flagship product, PALSONIFY (paltusotine), for the treatment of acromegaly, alongside positive feedback from patients and healthcare providers, and favorable reimbursement trends.

The company reported third-quarter revenues of $0.1 million, primarily from a licensing agreement, with research and development expenses rising to $90.5 million due to increased personnel and clinical activities.
