Seres Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRB) today reported first quarter 2017 financial results and provided a progress update on multiple microbiome clinical programs, including three clinical-stage therapeutic candidates seeking to address serious human diseases.
“Seres is making strong progress throughout our broad pipeline of microbiome therapeutics.” said Roger J. Pomerantz, M.D., President, CEO and Chairman of Seres. “Following positive feedback from the FDA, we are working to rapidly initiate the SER-109 ECOSPOR III clinical study, and we expect study start in mid-year. This trial could potentially serve as the basis for the approval of SER-109, which may represent the first approved microbiome therapeutic. In addition, we have advanced our Phase 1b study of SER-287 in patients with ulcerative colitis, as well as our Phase 1b study of SER-262 in patients with primary C. difficile infection. We look forward to a highly data rich period ahead, with readouts from both the SER-287 and SER-262 studies expected in the second half of 2017.”
Recent Highlights and Events
Financial Results
Seres reported a net loss of $25.5 million for the first quarter of 2017, as compared to a net loss of $19.7 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in first quarter net loss was driven primarily by continued growth in clinical and development expenses as well as increased headcount, and ongoing development of the Company’s microbiome therapeutics platform. The first quarter net loss figure was inclusive of $3.0 million in revenue recognized associated with the Company’s collaboration with Nestlé Health Science.
Research and development expenses for the first quarter were $20.1 million, as compared to $15.4 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to expenses related to our microbiome therapeutics platform, the clinical development of SER-109, SER-262 and SER-287, as well as the Company’s preclinical programs.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter were $8.8 million, as compared to $7.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to increased headcount, an increase in professional fees, and facility expansion to support overall growth.
The decrease in cash balance during the quarter was $27.8 million. Seres ended the first quarter with approximately $202.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments.
