Cambridge, Mass. (PR Newswire) November 10, 2021 – Synlogic, Inc. (Nasdaq: SYBX), a clinical-stage company bringing the transformative potential of synthetic biology to medicine, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and provided an update on clinical programs.
“We are very pleased to be moving our Phenylketonuria (PKU) program into late-phase clinical development with the goal of bringing forward a clinically meaningful and differentiated medicine to the PKU community. The positive interim analysis from the Phase 2 SynPheny-1 study gives us confidence as we prepare to launch a Phase 3 program in PKU in 2022,” said Aoife Brennan, M.B. Ch.B., Synlogic President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to advance oral metabolic programs in other areas of high unmet need as well as drive our research engine forward, including achieving an important early milestone in our IBD collaboration with Roche. The Synthetic BioticTM platform is proving to be a potent and rapid source of novel therapeutic candidates.”
Recent Portfolio Highlights
Metabolic Portfolio
Phenylketonuria (PKU): Proof of concept of SYNB1618 achieved in an interim analysis. Full study results of both SYNB1618 and SYNB1934, and advancement of Phase 3 program, expected in 2022.
| • | In September, the Company reported SYNB1618 demonstrated proof of concept in PKU patients, with a clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction of plasma phenylalanine (Phe) levels in an interim analysis of the Phase 2 SynPheny-1 study. |
Page 1 of 7
| • | SYNB1934, an optimized strain of SYNB1618, further demonstrated a two-fold increase in biomarkers of Phe metabolism compared to SYNB1618 in a head-to-head healthy volunteer study. |
| • | The Phase 2 SynPheny-1 study has been amended to incorporate SYNB1934, with results expected in the first half of 2022. |
| • | Synlogic is preparing to start a Phase 3 program with the preferred strain based on the SynPheny-1 study data in phenylketonuria (PKU) in 2022. |
| • | Further data on the Synlogic PKU program will be presented at the 14th International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (ICIEM) meeting to be held in Sydney, Australia and virtually on November 21 – 24, 2021. |
Enteric Hyperoxaluria: Proof of concept data of SYNB8802 anticipated in 2022.
| • | In April, the Company reported that SYNB8802 demonstrated proof of mechanism in Part A of an ongoing Phase 1 study, with robust and dose-dependent evidence of urinary oxalate lowering in healthy volunteers given a high oxalate diet. |
| • | Part B of the study is continuing to evaluate of SYNB8802 in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria secondary to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, with data expected next year. |
| • | Further data on SYNB8802 and enteric hyperoxaluria were presented at the American Urological Association 2021 Annual Meeting and the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2021, including real-world evidence demonstrating a relationship between higher urinary oxalate levels and increased incidence of chronic kidney disease. |
