Seres Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCRB) is a pioneering clinical-stage biotherapeutic company focused on discovering and developing Ecobiotic™ therapeutic products. These novel drugs aim to treat significant diseases by targeting the underlying biology of the human microbiome. Founded by Flagship VentureLabs, Seres is at the forefront of creating the first therapeutics that induce a shift towards health by enhancing the microbiome's biology.
The company operates primarily in the United States, leveraging its microbiome therapeutics platform to develop Ecobiotic™ microbiome therapeutics. These therapies are designed to restore health by repairing the function of a dysbiotic microbiome, particularly in the colon. Seres' lead product, SER-109, is developed to prevent the recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a severe infection of the colon. Additional product candidates include SER-262, SER-287, and SER-401.
Recently, Seres announced the sale of its VOWST assets to Nestlé Health Science under a non-binding memorandum of understanding. This transaction will provide Seres with capital infusions, including an upfront payment, and is expected to be completed in the next 90 days, subject to shareholder approval and other conditions. VOWST, the first FDA-approved oral microbiome therapy, prevents the recurrence of CDI in adults following antibacterial treatment for recurrent CDI.
Seres plans to use the capital from this transaction to retire its existing debt and strengthen its financial position. The company is also advancing SER-155, evaluated in a Phase 1b study in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. SER-155 has the potential to reduce gastrointestinal and related bloodstream infections, as well as acute graft-versus-host disease.
