About Synlogic
Synlogic is a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing
novel, oral, non-systemically absorbed biotherapeutics to transform
the care of serious diseases in need of new treatment options. The
Company’s late-stage pipeline is focused on rare metabolic
diseases, led by labafenogene marselecobac (SYNB1934), currently
being studied as a potential treatment for phenylketonuria (PKU) in
Synpheny-3, a global, pivotal Phase 3 study. Additional product
candidates address diseases including homocystinuria (HCU), enteric
hyperoxaluria, gout, and cystinuria. This pipeline is fueled by the
Synthetic Biotic platform, which applies precision genetic
engineering to well-characterized probiotics. This enables Synlogic
to create GI-restricted, oral medicines designed to consume or
modify disease-specific metabolites – an approach well suited for
PKU and HCU, both inborn errors of metabolism, as well as other
disorders in which the disease–specific metabolites transit through
the GI tract, providing validated targets for these Synthetic
Biotics. Research activities include a partnership with Roche
focused on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and a collaboration
with Ginkgo Bioworks in synthetic biology, which has contributed to
two pipeline programs to date. For more information, please visit
