Spruce Biosciences, Inc., founded in 2014 and situated in Daly City, California, operates as a biopharmaceutical enterprise. Its primary objective is to advance and bring to market innovative treatments, particularly for uncommon endocrine conditions. A central component of its therapeutic pipeline is tildacerfont, a non-steroidal drug candidate. This compound is currently undergoing Phase 2b clinical assessments in adult patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), with the aim of optimizing disease management and lessening dependence on steroid medications by examining reductions in glucocorticoid levels and their clinical consequences. Tildacerfont is also progressing through Phase 2 trials for pediatric classic CAH, as well as investigating its efficacy in women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, Spruce Biosciences maintains a collaborative licensing agreement with Eli Lilly and Company to jointly explore, formulate, and commercialize various pharmaceutical substances.
