Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) in Subjects With CAH
Over 12 weeks

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events including any serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and adverse events leading to discontinuation of study drug.

Safety of SPR001 in Patients With CAH
6 weeks

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, changes from Baseline to End-of-study in clinical laboratory parameters, physical examination findings, vital signs, ECG parameters

Change in 17-hydroxyprogesterone
Cohort A: Baseline/2a (Day -1-0), First dose/2b (Day 0-1), Visit 3 (Day 13-14), Visit 4 (Day 27-28), Visit 5 (Day 41-42). Cohort B and Cohort C: Visit 2 (Day 0-1), Visit 3 (Day 8), Visit 4 (Day 14-15), Visit 5 (Last dose +30d)

Change in 17-hydroxyprogesterone from Baseline to End-of-study. Results are expressed as mean percent change from baseline. Reductions in 17-OHP are indicators of better disease control.

Cohort AEXPERIMENTALThe first cohort of 9 patients will be administered SPR001 at dose strength of Dose A daily for 2 weeks, and escalating through Dose B per day for 2 weeks and Dose C per day for 2 weeks.
Cohort BEXPERIMENTALCohort B will begin enrollment after Cohort A has been fully enrolled. Starting dose selection and the stepwise dosing paradigm for Cohort B will be determined by an interim review of safety and PK/PD data from from Cohort A.
Cohort CEXPERIMENTALCohort C will begin enrollment after Cohort B has been fully enrolled. Starting dose selection and the stepwise dosing paradigm for Cohort C will be determined by an interim review of safety and PK/PD data from from Cohort A and B.

Frequently asked questions about SPR001

What is SPR001 used for in congenital adrenal hyperplasia?

SPR001 is an investigational small molecule being developed for classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an endocrine disorder. It has been studied in adults 18 years and older with classic CAH, including cases associated with 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Both of its Phase 2 trials enrolled adults in the United States.

What does SPR001 target?

SPR001 targets the hCRF1 receptor, a receptor in the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor family. By acting on this receptor, the small molecule is designed to modulate the hormonal signaling pathway relevant to congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The hCRF1 receptor is the stated molecular target for SPR001.

Who is developing SPR001?

SPR001 is being developed by Spruce Biosciences, Inc., which trades under the ticker SPRB. The company is the sponsor behind the clinical program evaluating SPR001 in classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an endocrine condition affecting adults.

What phase is SPR001 in?

SPR001 is in Phase 2 development. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed, and no trials are currently active. SPR001 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for congenital adrenal hyperplasia or any other indication.

What clinical trials is SPR001 in?

SPR001 has been evaluated in two completed Phase 2 trials: NCT03687242, a study of safety and efficacy in subjects with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which enrolled 11 participants, and NCT03257462, a study in adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which enrolled 24 participants. Both were conducted in the United States.

How many patients were enrolled in SPR001 trials?

The two completed Phase 2 trials of SPR001 enrolled a combined total of 35 participants. NCT03687242 enrolled 11 subjects and NCT03257462 enrolled 24 subjects. Both studies were controlled, enrolled adults aged 18 years and older, and included all sexes.
