First Patient Dosed in Ph 1b Trial, MELODY-1 of MB097 Precision Microbiome Co-Therapy in Advanced Melanoma
Ron Carter, Microbiotica’s Chief Medical Officer, said, “The gut microbiome, the community of bacteria in the gut, plays a crucial role in digesting food and protecting people from infections, but it also interacts very closely with the immune system. In cancer patients, the bacteria in MB097 appear to be associated with better response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies, such as anti PD-1 drugs. MB097, with its precisely selected microbes based on data from responsive patients, in combination with ICIs, could therefore activate a therapeutic benefit for non-responding patients with advanced melanoma. Moreover, as the MB097 bacteria are found in healthy subjects as well as in patients who responded to ICIs, we anticipate a favourable safety profile.”
