Encore: Ecobiotics- A Novel Approach to Recurrent C. difficile infections Tuesday, March 15, 2016

This episode introduces Seres Therapeutics, a leading microbiome therapeutics company, which recently published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases positive results from an open-label Phase 1b/2 study of SER-109 for the treatment of patients with recurrent C. difficile infections (CDI). Seres Therapeutics is creating a new class of medicines to treat diseases resulting from functional deficiencies in the microbiome, a condition known as dysbiosis. New insights into the human microbiome are fundamentally reshaping how we understand and treat a wide range of diseases, creating new possibilities for patients not served by current therapeutic approaches. Ecobiotics are ecological compositions of beneficial organisms that are designed to reestablish a healthy microbiome. The discovery efforts at Seres Therapeutics currently span metabolic, inflammatory, and infectious diseases.
