Significant adoption of VOWST since commercial launch in June 2023 through year-end 2023 with 2,833 patient enrollment forms received and 2,015 new patient starts
SER-155 Phase 1b placebo-controlled Cohort 2 data readout anticipated in third quarter of 2024
Seres to Present at 42nd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on January 10, 2024
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 9, 2024 — Seres Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCRB), a leading microbiome therapeutics company, today announced preliminary key VOWST (fecal microbiota spores, live-brpk) launch metrics and receipt of US FDA Fast Track Designation for SER-155 ahead of its presentation at the 42nd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, January 10th. VOWST, the first FDA approved orally administered microbiome therapeutic, received FDA approval in April of 2023 and is indicated to prevent the recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in adults following antibacterial treatment for recurrent CDI (rCDI). VOWST is being commercialized by Nestlé Health Science in collaboration with Seres. SER-155 builds upon the clinical success of VOWST and is an investigational oral, cultivated microbiome therapeutic designed to prevent GI-associated bacterial infections, including blood stream infections, and to reduce the incidence of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in immunocompromised patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
“In 2023, VOWST received FDA approval with a broad indication, which includes use in first recurrence patients. We are thrilled, along with our collaborators at Nestlé Health Science, to help patients exit the vicious cycle of recurrence that happens far too often with CDI,” said Eric Shaff, President and Chief Executive Officer at Seres. “The strong adoption of VOWST since launch is indicative of the high unmet need in this category, the highly compelling clinical profile of VOWST, and the early success we have demonstrated in educating healthcare providers, payers and patients about this new treatment option.”
“Seres is looking forward to 2024 as we continue to build on our initial VOWST commercial success. The SER-155 Cohort-2 readout is expected in the third quarter, and we are excited to announce receipt of Fast Track Designation for SER-155 to reduce the risk of infection and GvHD in allo-HSCT patients. Fast Track Designation is awarded to expedite both drug development and FDA review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fulfill an unmet medical need.”
