Study of SPR001 in Adults with Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia; CAH - Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
• Interventions: Drug: SPR001

• Registration Number: NCT03257462
• Lead Sponsor: Spruce Biosciences

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter Phase 2, multiple dose, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of SPR001 in adult patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

Detailed Description

This is a 6-week, multiple-dose, dose escalation study of SPR001 for the treatment of adults with classic CAH. After screening, eligible patients will be enrolled into a 6-week treatment period followed by a 4-week washout/safety follow-up period.

It is initially planned that up to approximately 18 patients in 2 dose cohorts will be enrolled. Additional patients or dose groups may be considered based upon specific safety, PK/PD, and/or efficacy findings, or if an active dose has not yet been reached.

SPR001 will be administered as an oral daily dose. Patients will undergo titration of SPR001 through three escalating dosage strengths at 2-week intervals. Patients will have overnight PK/PD assessments performed at baseline, which include an pre-dose overnight assessment and a post-dose overnight assessment for PK/PD following administration of the first dose. At the end of each 2-week dosing period, patients will return for single overnight visits for steady-state PK/PD assessments.

A follow-up outpatient visit will occur 30 days after their last dose.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Cohort A	SPR001	The first cohort of 9 patients will be administered SPR001 at dose strength of Dose A daily for 2 weeks, and escalating through Dose B per day for 2 weeks and Dose C per day for 2 weeks.
Cohort B	SPR001	Cohort B will begin enrollment after Cohort A has been fully enrolled. Starting dose selection and the stepwise dosing paradigm for Cohort B will be determined by an interim review of safety and PK/PD data from from Cohort A.
Cohort C	SPR001	Cohort C will begin enrollment after Cohort B has been fully enrolled. Starting dose selection and the stepwise dosing paradigm for Cohort C will be determined by an interim review of safety and PK/PD data from from Cohort A and B.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in 17-hydroxyprogesterone	6 weeks	Change in 17-hydroxyprogesterone from Baseline to End-of-study
Safety of SPR001 in patients with CAH	6 weeks	Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events; changes from Baseline to End-of-study in clinical laboratory parameters, physical examination findings, vital signs, ECG parameters

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in pharmacodynamic (PD) markers	6 weeks	Changes in ACTH and androgens from Baseline to End-of-study
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)	6 weeks	To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of SPR001 in patients with CAH
Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)	6 weeks	To evaluate the PK parameter of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of SPR001 in patients with CAH
PK/PD relationships	6 weeks	To explore the potential relationships between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
