Spruce Biosciences

Spruce Biosciences Where science meets compassion to deliver targeted therapies for serious neurological disorders.

Spruce Biosciences is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapies for neurological disorders with significant unmet medical need. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to patients and their families. They inspire us to go beyond incremental progress to develop transformative therapies born from thoughtful science that leads to meani

ngful changes in their lives. Our initial focus is developing tralesinidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy (TA-ERT) for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidoses type IIIB (MPS IIIB), or Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B, a devastating pediatric neurodegenerative disorder for which there are no FDA-approved therapies.

We are grateful for Dr. Nicole Maria Muschol’s presentation of long-term clinical data on Tralesinidase Alfa Enzyme Replacement Therapy (TA-ERT) in patients with in patients with Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B (MPS IIIB) over the weekend at the 18th International MPS Symposium.

Sustained normalization of CSF HS-NRE, the anticipated surrogate marker for accelerated approval, alongside long-term stabilization of cognitive function, communication, and motor skills strengthens our confidence in the potential of TA-ERT and reinforces our dedication to working closely with the Sanfilippo community to responsibly advance this program through a biologics license application submission and potential U.S. FDA approval.

We are also incredibly grateful to the children, families, caregivers, and study investigators who participated in the TA-ERT clinical development program.
