CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synlogic, Inc. (Nasdaq: SYBX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing medicines for metabolic and immunological diseases through its proprietary approach to synthetic biology, today announced that SYNB1353 has achieved proof of mechanism and positive results in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers treated with multiple ascending doses of SYNB1353.  SYNB1353 is an orally administered, non-systemically absorbed drug candidate designed to consume methionine in the GI tract for the potential treatment of homocystinuria (HCU). 

Key Points: 
  • SYNB1353 is an orally administered, non-systemically absorbed drug candidate designed to consume methionine in the GI tract for the potential treatment of homocystinuria (HCU).
  • The Company also shared that the FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to SYNB1353 for the treatment of HCU.
  • This dietary model was intended to capture in healthy volunteers a transient elevation in methionine following a meal challenge, in order to demonstrate proof of mechanism of consumption of methionine by SYNB1353.
  • Dosing of SYNB1353 resulted in a reduction in plasma methionine when measured over 24-hours as area under the curve (AUC) following a methionine meal challenge.
