SPI-62, a potent and selective HSD-1 inhibitor, for the treatment of autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS), a prevalent yet serious condition caused by the overproduction of cortisol from a benign tumor of the adrenal gland.
SPI-62 is Sparrow’s potent and selective investigational HSD-1 inhibitor, which is investigated in combination with prednisolone for the treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) to include a third cohort.
SPI-62 demonstrated the ability to reduce intracellular cortisol in the liver and to inhibit HSD-1 in both the brain and adipose tissue, which is investigated for the treatment of ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome.
SPI-47 combines HSD-1 inhibitor, SPI-62, with an effective glucocorticoid medicine, prednisolone. While prednisolone serves to relieve pain and inflammation, SPI-62 lowers active steroid levels within vital organs, and thereby mitigate the side effects of prednisolone.
SPI-62 is an oral, small molecule, potent HSD-1 inhibitor that is in a Phase 2 clinical trial with prednisolone for polymyalgia rheumatica, a prevalent autoimmune disease that mainly affects people over 50.
SPI-47 combines SPI-62 with an efficacious glucocorticoid medicine to potentially relieve debilitating inflammation with fewer side effects,aims to achieve the same efficacy of glucocorticoids while mitigating their associated toxicities.
SPI-62 is potent HSD-1 inhibitor for treatment of Cushing’s syndrome and autonomous cortisol secretion, In prior clinical trials SPI-62 was generally well tolerated and associated with maximal liver and brain HSD-1 inhibition.
SPI-62, is an oral, small molecule, novel therapeutic treatment designed to target the source of active intracellular glucocorticoids in key tissues. SPI-47 is a fixed-dose-combination of SPI-62 and the glucocorticoid medicine prednisolone.
SPI-47 (SPI-62) prevented several CORT adverse effects, demonstrating that by blocking local intracellular glucocorticoid activation with a HSD-1 inhibitor in target tissues, it can mitigate glucocorticoid toxicity.
SPI-62 is a potent HSD-1 inhibitor in clinical development for treatment of Cushing’s syndrome and autonomous cortisol secretion, and as adjunctive therapy to prednisolone in polymyalgia rheumatica.
