Cash and Cash Equivalents of $148.6 million<\/i><\/p>\n
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– \n\u201cThroughout the first quarter of 2021, Spruce Biosciences made substantial progress in our efforts to advance new treatment options for people living with rare endocrine disorders and to maximize the potential of tildacerfont as a therapeutic to treat people living with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or CAH, and other diseases impacted by ACTH,\u201d said Richard King, Chief Executive Officer of Spruce Biosciences. \u201cWe continue to advance enrollment into our late-stage CAHmelia program in adult classic CAH and remain encouraged with the level of patient interest registered with our study investigators. Looking ahead, we remain on track to initiate our Phase 2 program in children with classic CAH in the second half of this year. In the pediatric classic CAH population, the imbalance between excess adrenal androgens and glucocorticoids can lead to irreversible impacts on childhood development. Tildacerfont has the potential to ease the disease and steroid burden for children, which may enable normal growth progression through childhood and adolescence.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Corporate Highlights<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Anticipated Upcoming Milestones<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n First Quarter 2021 Financial Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Cash and Cash Equivalents: <\/b>Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021, were $148.6 million.\n<\/p>\n Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: <\/b>R&D expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $6.7 million compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2020.

Spruce is initially developing its wholly-owned product candidate, tildacerfont, as the potential first non-steroidal therapy for patients suffering from classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Classic CAH is a serious and life-threatening disease with no known novel therapies approved in approximately 50 years. Spruce is also developing tildacerfont for women suffering from a rare form of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with primary adrenal androgen excess, representing 3-5% of females with PCOS (estimated to be 150,000 to 200,000 patients in the United States).
