Near term Catalysts; Second Phase 2a Clinical Tria
Post# of 219
In June 2015, we initiated a second Phase 2a clinical trial of SYN-004 to evaluate the GI antibiotic-degrading ability and the safety of SYN-004, in the presence of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI), esomeprazole. Topline data is expected from the second Phase 2a clinical trial during the first half of 2016.
Phase 2b Clinical Trial Design
In September 2015, we initiated a Phase 2b proof-of-concept clinical trial of SYN-004. This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial is expected to enroll approximately 370 patients at up to 75 global clinical sites. This clinical trial is intended to evaluate the ability of SYN-004 to prevent CDI, C. difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) and AAD in patients hospitalized for a lower respiratory tract infection and receiving IV ceftriaxone. Once 120 patients are enrolled and there are 10 confirmed cases of CDI, an interim analysis to evaluate baseline rate of CDI in the placebo group is anticipated to be conducted during the first half of 2016. The interim analysis will be performed by an independent data monitoring committee. As of March 8, 2016, 98 patients are enrolled in the SYN-004 Phase 2b clinical trial.
