The claim that met my eye, on Cortene's website, was, 'We believe that a short course of treatment with CT38 may be curative.' OTOH, this seems to be some sort of commercial enterprise, being (I think) a drug company, or at least one that looks for uses for drugs (?), so maybe a bit of a pinch of salt to go with that.
Cort just started a series of three blog posts about this on Health Rising. There's info on Cortene's site, though (but not tons):

The gist is:
I'm a biomedical ignoramus. Anybody got any opinions? These guys seem to have come out of nowhere.
@Jonathan Edwards?

Cortene said:Our research suggests that the upregulation of a single, stress-related receptor, CRF2, (in the raphe nuclei and limbic system of the brain) can explain the symptoms and anomalies of ME/CFS. Overstimulating this receptor induces many of the symptoms of ME/CFS in healthy animals, and we have developed a therapeutic candidate (CT38) that downregulates the receptor.
