The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and potential absorption into the systemic circulation (if any) of 150 mg oral SYN-004 administered to allogeneic HCT recipients who receive an IV beta-lactam antibiotic to treat fever. Study participants will be enrolled into three sequential cohorts, with each receiving a different study-assigned IV beta-lactam antibiotic. Eight participants in each cohort will receive SYN-004 and four will receive placebo. <\/p>\n<p>Safety and pharmacokinetic data for each cohort will be reviewed by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee that will make a recommendation on whether to proceed to the next IV beta-lactam antibiotic. The study will also evaluate potential protective effects of SYN-004 on the gut microbiome as well as generate preliminary information on potential therapeutic benefits and patient outcomes of SYN-004 in allogeneic HCT recipients. Enrollment is expected to begin during the first quarter of 2021, pandemic conditions permitting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Approval of the Phase <span class=\"xn-money\">1b<\/span>\/2a clinical protocol by <span class=\"xn-org\">Washington University&#8217;s<\/span> IRB is an important step in pursuing a potentially more cost-effective development strategy for SYN-004, targeting a highly specialized patient population,&#8221; stated <span class=\"xn-person\">Steven A. Shallcross<\/span>, Chief Executive and Financial Officer of Synthetic Biologics. &#8220;Broad spectrum IV beta-lactam antibiotics used to treat infection following conditioning chemotherapy for allogeneic HCT patients is a necessary and oftentimes lifesaving intervention. However, this may have the unintended consequence of causing dysbiosis of the microbiome which may lead to infection by opportunistic pathogens such as <i>C. difficile<\/i> (CDI) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). In <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3019878-1&amp;h=1818859790&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.syntheticbiologics.com%2Fnews-media%2Fpress-releases%2Fdetail%2F230%2Fsynthetic-biologics-syn-004-ribaxamase-achieves-primary&amp;a=previously+completed+clinical+trials\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">previously completed clinical trials<\/a>, SYN-004 demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of CDI and VRE in treated patients versus placebo and has the potential to significantly improve outcomes for allogenic HCT recipients. We expect to commence enrollment of patients in the first quarter of 2021 and look forward to providing further updates as we advance this exciting program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"xn-org\">Washington University<\/span> IRB is a committee established to review and approve research involving human subjects. The purpose of the IRB is to ensure that all human subject research is conducted in accordance with all federal, institutional, and ethical guidelines. The primary goal of an IRB is to safeguard the rights, safety and welfare of participants in research studies.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About SYN-004 (ribaxamase)<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>SYN-004 (ribaxamase) is an oral prophylactic therapy designed to degrade certain IV beta-lactam antibiotics within the GI tract and maintain the natural balance of the gut microbiome for the prevention of <i>Clostridioides difficile<\/i> infection (CDI), overgrowth of pathogenic organisms, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Allogeneic HCT recipients routinely receive long courses of IV beta-lactam antibiotics to treat infection. Antibiotic-mediated damage of the gut microbiome in allogeneic HCT recipients has been strongly associated with adverse outcomes including CDI, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization and potentially fatal bacteremia and aGVHD. A previously completed placebo-controlled Phase <span class=\"xn-money\">2b<\/span> clinical trial of 412 patients demonstrated SYN-004 protected the gut microbiome from antibiotic-mediated dysbiosis. Patients receiving SYN-004 also demonstrated significantly better maintenance and recovery of the gut microbiome as well as lower incidences of new colonization by opportunistic and potentially pathogenic microorganisms such as VRE. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Synthetic Biologics, Inc.<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Synthetic Biologics, Inc.
