Spruce Biosciences (Nasdaq: SPRB) and HMNC Brain Health announced a strategic collaboration to develop a treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) using Spruce's tildacerfont and HMNC's Cortibon Genetic Selection Tool. The Phase 2 study is set to begin in Q4 2024. Should the study be successful, Spruce has the option to acquire exclusive rights to Cortibon. This collaboration aims to advance precision medicine in treating MDD, potentially addressing up to 50% of MDD patients worldwide. The collaboration leverages genetic markers to predict medication response, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce costs.
Spruce Biosciences presented positive results from its Phase 2 POWER study on tildacerfont, targeting polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), at ENDO 2024. 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.
Spruce Biosciences, a late-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in therapies for rare endocrine disorders, will participate in the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference.
