Study summary

Study SYNB8802-CP-002 is designed to assess safety, tolerability, and oxalate lowering, in subjects with a history of gastric bypass surgery or short-bowel syndrome. In addition, this study will explore other PD effects relative to baseline as well as predictors of efficacy and tolerability.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind (sponsor-open), randomized (3:2), placebo-controlled, inpatient study evaluating the safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1 in subjects with a history of gastric bypass surgery or short-bowel syndrome. An interim analysis of results by an unblinded statistician will be performed after 10 subjects.

The study includes the following periods:

  • Screening period (27 days)
  • Diet run in (3 days)
  • Dosing Period (12 days)
  • Safety follow-up (28 days)

The maximum duration of the inpatient stay will be 17 days (Day -4 to Day 13). Subjects will report to the clinical research unit (CRU) on Day -4 and will complete a 3-day diet run-in period (Days -3 to -1) during which they will consume an AOLC diet (refer to Diet Manual for details). Dietary oxalate and calcium will be distributed across 3 meals per day, and subjects will maintain this diet until the end of the dosing period. A proton pump inhibitor (PPI, esomeprazole) will be administered once daily (QD), 60-90 minutes before breakfast, from the start of the diet run-in period (Day -3) until the end of the dosing period (Day 12).

On Day 1, subjects will be randomly assigned to treatment with SYNB8802v1 or placebo (collectively referred to as investigational medicinal product [IMP]). The dosing period consists of 12 days following a dose escalation plan from 1 × 1011 live cells QD to 3 × 1011 live cells TID; the dosing period for each dose level includes a 2-day dose ramp and a 3-day steady-state period. During the dose ramp, placebo will be administered such that all subjects receive IMP dosing TID. On the morning of the first day of the run-in period (Day -3), a forced void urine sample will be collected to completely empty the bladder before the first placebo dose administration. A 24-hour urine collection will then be started and will continue throughout the in-patient period. In addition, daily 24-hour fecal samples will be collected. Subjects will be released from the CRU upon the completion of safety assessments on Day 13 (the day after the last dose of IMP). Safety follow-up visits (calls) will occur every 7 (±2) days until 28 (±2) days after the last dose of IMP.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute or chronic medical (including COVID-19 infection), surgical, psychiatric, or social condition or laboratory abnormality (except those that can be explained by malabsorption) that may increase subject risk associated with study participation, compromise adherence to study procedures and requirements, or may confound interpretation of results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for enrollment.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

CD4 count

The number of CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell, in a given amount of blood. It is used to follow how well the immune system is doing in HIV.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Interventions

  • DrugSYNB8802v1

    SYNB8802v1 is an orally administered, non-systemically absorbed live biotherapeutic developed for the treatment of EH. The strain converts oxalate to formate and CO2, two naturally occurring GI metabolites. SYNB8802 was developed by engineering a pathway for oxalate degradation in a probiotic strain of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). It is intended to act within the GI tract to reduce the oxalate levels in patients with EH by converting oxalate to formate and CO2, two naturally occurring GI metabolites.

  • OtherPlacebo

    placebo powder will be aliquoted into high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles and diluted in the same formulation buffer as SYNB8802v1 lyophilized powder. The placebo consists of corn starch and dyes to color match the placebo to the SYNB8802v1 powder for oral suspension

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1, as assessed by measuring of vital signs

    Vital Signs Resting vital signs will be collected as specified in the protocol. Subjects are required to remain in the sitting position for at least 5 minutes prior to obtaining vital signs. A symptom-directed physical examination will be performed by trained medical personnel as specified in the protocol.

    Time frame: 17 days

  2. Safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1 by assessing clinical laboratory tests

    The clinical laboratory tests listed in the protocol will be performed at the time points specified in the protocol's schedule of assessments.

    Time frame: 17 days

  3. Safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1, as assessed by AEs, clinical laboratory tests, and vital sign measurements

    Adverse events will be assessed continuously by direct observation and subject event recording and interviews. The severity of AEs will be evaluated using the NCI CTCAE, version 5.0 criteria.

    Time frame: 43 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in 24-hour excreted UOx among SYNB8802v1-treated subjects versus those treated with placebo.

    Urinary oxalate will be determined from 24-hour urine sample collections to be completed at the points specified in the Schedule of Assessments.

    Time frame: 17 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 17, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
