\n\u201cAs we continue to progress the execution of the CAHmelia clinical program in adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), we were also pleased with the FDA\u2019s clearance of our investigational new drug (IND) application for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This milestone allows us to continue fulfilling our strategy of advancing tildacerfont as a potential treatment for patients with rare endocrine disorders with significant unmet medical need,\u201d said Richard King, Chief Executive Officer of Spruce Biosciences. \u201cWe believe that tildacerfont may provide a therapeutic option to treat the underlying pathophysiology of disease through reduction of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and therefore adrenal hyperandrogenism in this population. With no therapies currently approved in the U.S. to treat hyperandrogenism due to adrenal dysfunction in females with PCOS, the clearance of our IND brings us one step closer to developing a potential new treatment option for these patients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

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.

Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, the results, conduct, progress and timing of Spruce\u2019s clinical trials, the regulatory approval path for tildacerfont, the strength of Spruce\u2019s balance sheet and the adequacy of Spruce\u2019s cash position. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Words such as \u201cplans,\u201d \u201cwill,\u201d \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201cpotential\u201d and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon Spruce\u2019s current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with Spruce\u2019s business in general, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the other risks described in Spruce\u2019s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date on which they were made and are based on management\u2019s assumptions and estimates as of such date.

This release and the reconciliation tables included herein include non-GAAP total operating expenses and non-GAAP G&A expenses, both of which exclude depreciation and stock-based compensation. Spruce excludes depreciation and stock-based compensation because management believes the exclusion of these items is helpful to investors to evaluate Spruce’s recurring operational performance. Spruce management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate its operating results and trends on an on-going basis, and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.\n<\/p>\n SPRUCE
