CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seres Therapeutics Inc., (NASDAQ:MCRB), a leading microbiome therapeutics platform company, today reported fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results and provided an update on multiple clinical programs, including three clinical-stage candidates seeking to address multiple serious medical indications. In a separate announcement today, Seres provided an update on plans to initiate a new SER-109 clinical study following its positive FDA Type B meeting.
“Seres has made important progress across all of our microbiome clinical programs,” said Roger J. Pomerantz, M.D., President, CEO and Chairman of Seres. “Following the completion of our comprehensive analyses of the SER-109 study results, we had very productive discussions with the FDA, in which we gained highly positive and constructive guidance on further SER-109 clinical development. If the new ECOSPOR III study achieves a persuasive clinical effect and addresses FDA requirements, we would expect to be able to file for SER-109 product registration.”
Dr. Pomerantz continued, “We also advanced our robust pipeline of microbiome clinical candidates and we anticipate the results of two Phase 1b clinical trials during the second half of this year, including our study of SER-287 in patients with ulcerative colitis and our study of SER-262, the first synthetically derived microbiome candidate to reach clinical development, in patients with primary C. difficile infection.”
