CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seres Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRB) today reported first quarter 2017 financial results and provided a progress update on multiple microbiome clinical programs, including three clinical-stage therapeutic candidates seeking to address serious human diseases.
“Seres is making strong progress throughout our broad pipeline of microbiome therapeutics.” said Roger J. Pomerantz, M.D., President, CEO and Chairman of Seres. “Following positive feedback from the FDA, we are working to rapidly initiate the SER-109 ECOSPOR III clinical study, and we expect study start in mid-year. This trial could potentially serve as the basis for the approval of SER-109, which may represent the first approved microbiome therapeutic. In addition, we have advanced our Phase 1b study of SER-287 in patients with ulcerative colitis, as well as our Phase 1b study of SER-262 in patients with primary C. difficile infection. We look forward to a highly data rich period ahead, with readouts from both the SER-287 and SER-262 studies expected in the second half of 2017.”
