Spruce Biosciences (NASDAQ: SPRB) has announced a strategic transformation with the acquisition of tralesinidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy (TA-ERT) for treating Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B (MPS IIIB). The company plans to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA in the first half of 2026.
TA-ERT has shown promising results in clinical studies, significantly normalizing cerebral spinal fluid heparan sulfate levels over five years. The FDA has confirmed that this biomarker could serve as a basis for accelerated approval. The therapy has received fast-track designation, rare pediatric disease designation, and orphan drug status in both the U.S. and EU.
Financially, Spruce reported $38.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, with an expected runway through the end of 2025. The company has 42.2 million shares outstanding and 21.4 million shares reserved for warrants and equity securities.
Spruce Biosciences (NASDAQ: SPRB) announced disappointing topline results from two clinical trials evaluating tildacerfont for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). The CAHmelia-204 Phase 2b study failed to meet its primary endpoint of reducing glucocorticoid usage in adult CAH patients. The trial showed a minimal placebo-adjusted reduction of 0.7mg in daily glucocorticoid dose.
The CAHptain-205 Phase 2 study suggested that higher doses and twice-daily (BID) dosing may be necessary for efficacy. While tildacerfont was generally safe and well-tolerated in both trials, the company will discontinue these clinical trials and wind down its investment in tildacerfont for CAH treatment while evaluating strategic options and implementing cost-reduction measures.
Spruce Biosciences (SPRB) reported Q3 2024 financial results and provided corporate updates. The company anticipates topline data from two key clinical trials of tildacerfont in December 2024: the CAHmelia-204 study in adult CAH patients and the CAHptain-205 study in adult and pediatric CAH patients. Financial highlights include cash position of $60.1 million, expected to fund operations through end of 2025. Q3 collaboration revenue was $0.6 million, while R&D expenses decreased to $6.6 million. Net loss for Q3 was $8.7 million, improved from $12.4 million in the same period of 2023.

Tildacerfont, a CRF1 receptor antagonist, significantly reduced DHEAS levels and increased SHBG levels versus placebo in women with elevated baseline DHEAS. These results suggest potential therapeutic benefits, including a reduction in health risks linked to hyperandrogenism. The study involved 27 women and showed that tildacerfont was well-tolerated with no serious adverse effects.
