“This study, which seeks to better understand the potential of KB109 in COVID-19 and expand our understanding of its applicability to other viral infections, is the largest study to be conducted by Kaleido to date,” commented Dan Menichella, President and CEO of Kaleido.
“Reaching this point of full enrollment positions us to deliver on the goal of reporting topline results later this quarter. We also continue to expect topline data from our smaller study of KB109 in the first quarter of 2021,” added Menichella.
Kaleido said KB109 was selected for evaluation in COVID-19 based on its ability to increase microbiome production of short-chain fatty acids, which act as modulators of the immune response.
