EBX-102 demonstrated proof-of-principle across multiple microbiome assessments, inflammatory biomarkers and clinical assessments, supporting its continued development as the first microbial therapy for individuals with liver disease

Glasgow, Scotland – 11 November 2024. EnteroBiotix Limited ('EnteroBiotix' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focussed on developing best-in-class full-spectrum microbiome therapeutics, today announced positive results from its Phase 1b IMPuLCE study evaluating EBX-102 in patients with liver cirrhosis.

EnteroBiotix's first-in-human study of EBX-102 was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Ph1b study of adult participants with stable liver cirrhosis. It was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and translational biomarker effects of two different doses of EBX-102. The study was conducted across ten sites in the United Kingdom. Participants were followed up for 12 weeks after dosing.

Dr James McIlroy MBChB, CEO of EnteroBiotix, said: “ We wish to thank the participants and the investigators for making this study possible and for their contributions to enable the development of EBX-102. In addition to safety and tolerability data supporting further studies, we observed multiple microbiome and systemic measurements supporting mechanistic proof-of-principle. There are very large unmet medical needs in the field of advanced liver disease, and it is greatly encouraging that EBX-102 has potential efficacy in this population. ”

Data highlights:

Professor Ewan Forrest, Chief Investigator of the IMPuLCE study and Honorary Professor, School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health at the University of Glasgow commented: “ These exciting data demonstrate that EBX-102 is well tolerated in patients with chronic liver disease, showing promising biological effects that strongly support further clinical development. The observed improvement in mental health scores is particularly intriguing, and we look forward to continuing to explore the potential of EBX-102 in future liver disease trials.”
