Continued market adoption of VOWST® with approximately 1,411 patient enrollment forms received, approximately 1,083 new patient starts, and net sales of $10.1 million during Q1 2024, and accelerated net sales in March and April
SER-155 Phase 1b placebo-controlled Cohort 2 clinical readout expected end of Q3 2024
Further microbiome therapeutic candidates have potential to expand product franchise into additional medically vulnerable patient populations
Conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET today
Seres Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCRB), a leading microbiome therapeutics company, today reported first quarter 2024 financial results and provided business updates.
"With a broad indication and compelling clinical profile to prevent the recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in adults following antibacterial treatment for recurrent CDI (rCDI), VOWST enables healthcare providers to fundamentally transform how they treat this life-threatening disease. Along with our collaborators at Nestlé Health Science, we have continued to make progress with the launch of VOWST. Nestlé continues to refine its launch execution, and we have seen a resulting acceleration of VOWST sales during March and April,” said Eric Shaff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seres.
“Additionally, we completed enrollment of Cohort 2 in our ongoing SER-155 Phase 1b study and look forward to sharing a comprehensive topline dataset during the third quarter. These clinical results could further validate the vast potential of microbiome therapeutics in preventing adverse outcomes linked to gastrointestinal pathogens,” continued Mr. Shaff. “Our goal remains to leverage Seres’ industry-leading microbiome capabilities to advance the development of SER-155 and other product candidates in additional indications such as chronic liver disease, cancer neutropenia, and solid organ transplants, which could protect millions of medically vulnerable patients from life-threatening infections. In support of this objective, we are evaluating various options to provide the Company with additional capital and to advance our pipeline.”
VOWST Commercial Performance
Commercial adoption of VOWST has continued since its June 2023 launch in the U.S., with increasing breadth of utilization across healthcare providers. Metrics are noted below as provided by Nestlé Health Science:

Cash Runway
As of March 31, 2024, Seres had $111.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared with $128.0 million at the end of 2023.

The Company’s operating plans include drawing down the $45 million Tranche B under the Company’s existing senior secured debt facility with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. if the net sales and other conditions are met, as well as alternate plans if such conditions are not met. Operating plans may include selling shares under the Company’s at the market (ATM) equity offering, implementing additional cost reduction initiatives, and other measures.
