Seres Therapeutics to Highlight VOWST™ Data at IDWeek

Seres Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCRB) today announced multiple abstracts to be presented at IDWeek 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts (October 11-15, 2023), including two posters of post-hoc analyses from the ECOSPOR III and ECOSPOR IV Phase 3 trials, which supported the recent approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of VOWST as the first orally-administered microbiota-based therapeutic for the prevention of recurrent C. difficile infection (rCDI) in adults following antibacterial treatment for rCDI. VOWST is commercialized in collaboration with Nestlé Health Science.

“The data we are presenting this year at IDWeek build upon our earlier findings that the gastrointestinal microbiome is similarly disrupted in patients with first or multiple rCDI. The introduction of VOWST has provided a means to alleviate suffering and health risks associated with recurrent instances of this serious disease," said Matthew Henn, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Seres.

Details for illustrative Seres-sponsored oral presentation and posters are below:

  • Poster Title: Analysis of Microbiome Diversity and Secondary Bile Acid Synthesis Following SER-109 or Placebo in Patients with First Recurrent or Multiply Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection
    • Poster/Abstract Number: 655
    • Date/Time: Thursday, October 12 at 12:15 – 1:30 p.m. ET
  • Poster Title: Rapid Change in Microbiome Profiles Regardless of Diagnostic Method in a Post Hoc Comparative Analysis of Phase 3 Trials of Fecal Microbiota Spores, Live-brpk (formerly SER-109) for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection (rCDI)
    • Poster/Abstract Number: 653
    • Date/Time: Thursday, October 12 at 12:15 – 1:30 p.m. ET

About Recurrent C. difficile Infection (rCDI)

Recurrent C. difficile infection is a gastrointestinal infection caused by C. difficile bacteria. rCDI is linked to dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal microbiome and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. CDI has been characterized as an Urgent Health Threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). rCDI results in a substantial burden on the healthcare system1 with the average rCDI-related annual costs per patient at approximately $43K.2
