Clostridium difficile kills 13,000 people each year in the US alone. A new antibiotic tested in mice works better than our first-line treatments against infection – and prevents reinfection too

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 08, 2023--Vedanta Biosciences, a clinical-stage company that is developing a potential new category of oral therapies based on defined bacterial consortia, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation to Vedanta’s defined bacterial consortium candidate, VE303, for the prevention of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI). Fast Track designation is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the

Vedanta Biosciences today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation to Vedanta’s defined bacterial consortium candidate, VE303, for the prevention of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI).

A novel oral microbial therapy under development by Vedanta Biosciences reduced the risk of recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection in a phase 2 clinical trial.

Small-molecule inhibitors offer many advantages for manipulating the gut microbiome, both as tool compounds and as potential therapeutics. This Review highlights recent examples of inhibitors that target gut bacterial enzymatic activity as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with their design and development.

RBX2660 and Vowst are now both approved for the prevention of recurrent C. difficile infections.

This clinical trial compares the efficacy of 2 different doses of VE303, a defined bacterial consortium of 8 strains of commensal Clostridia, and placebo in preventing recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection among adults at high risk.

A novel oral microbiome-directed therapy called VE303 successfully prevented recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection in adults at high risk for recurrence, researchers found.

Seres Therapeutics took 12 years to develop one of the first microbiome drugs in the U.S. Here's a timeline of major milestones and setbacks along the way.

About The Study: Among adults with laboratory-confirmed Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) with one or more prior CDI episodes in the last six months and those with primary CDI at high risk for recurrence, high-dose VE303 (a novel oral microbiome-directed therapy composed of nonpathogenic, nontoxigenic, commensal strains of Clostridia) prevented recurrent CDI compared with placebo. A larger, phase 3 study is needed to confirm these findings.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03788434.

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes severe diarrhea and colitis, leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and high medical costs worldwide. Oral vancomycin, a first-line treatment for CDI, is associated with a high risk of recurrence, necessitating novel therapies for primary and rec …
