During the third quarter of 2021, a second Phase 1 clinical trial to assess the efficacy, acceptability, and biodistribution of multiple-ascending doses of SYN-020 in healthy volunteers is planned to begin. The clinical trial’s topline results are expected in the second quarter of 2022. SYN-020 is being developed in many possible therapeutic indications, including celiac disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and radiation enteropathy, in both Phase 1 SAD and MAD trials. Also, indications for treating and preventing metabolic and inflammatory diseases linked to aging, which are backed up by SYN’s partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital.
Steven A. Shallcross, CEO of Synthetic Biologics stated,
SYN-020 is an enticing, versatile program with the capability to become a multi-indication, platform therapeutic that can tackle a significant unmet need for innovative new therapies targeting gastrointestinal inflammation-related disorders, such as celiac disease, NAFLD, and age-related metabolic and inflammatory diseases. By 2023, the number of cases of celiac disease in the United States is anticipated to reach 4.3 million, offering a huge market potential for a highly differentiated product like SYN-020. SYN is delighted by the promising Phase 1 results and looks forward to continuing development of SYN-020, which will involve the start of a second Phase 1, multiple-ascending dosage trial in the third quarter of 2021.
