Spruce Biosciences completed two key pre-BLA meetings with the FDA for the enzyme replacement therapy tralesinidase alfa for Sanfilippo syndrome type B. The FDA found the analytical comparability strategies acceptable and agreed to the planned BLA’s scope and format as well as the structure of the integrated efficacy and safety summaries. Spruce intends to submit the BLA in Q4 2026 under the accelerated approval pathway based on reductions in specific heparan sulfate biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid; the confirmatory study may begin during review. Technology transfer for commercial manufacture is complete, the first PPQ batch was produced in July 2026, the second batch is expected in Q4 2026 and is planned to be submitted before the midpoint of the BLA review. Tralesinidase alfa has received multiple accelerated regulatory designations in the US, including Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug. » Altro su de.investing.com
