Ulcerative Colitis – Landscape & Forecast – Special Topics: Microbiome Therapies for Immune & Inflammatory Diseases
MARKET OUTLOOK
Research on the human microbiome is beginning to mature, with microbiome-based therapies reaching the clinical trial phase of development for many disease areas. Significant investments have been made in this space, notably multiple deals made through the Janssen Human Microbiome Institute and several multimillion dollar IPOs, including those from Seres Therapeutics and Evelo Biosciences. Despite this activity, no microbiome-based therapy has yet received FDA approval in the immune and inflammatory disease space. With several therapies progressing to Phase II clinical trials and many more in early-phase development, understanding the potential of this emerging group of therapies is becoming increasingly important.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- How do physicians familiar with microbiome research evaluate the potential of microbiome-based therapies, and what immune and inflammatory therapies are seen as most promising?
- What diseases will benefit from microbiome-based therapies? How will such therapies fit into existing treatment algorithms?
- Will particular mechanisms of administration be more successful? Will live bacteria or microbiome-derived small molecules be effective?
- What potential hurdles will such therapies face in the market? How do physicians anticipate regulatory agencies will respond?

Kristine Mackin, Ph.D., is a director on the Immune and Inflammatory Disorders team at Clarivate. Her expertise includes emerging microbiome-based therapies, psoriatic arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma. Previously, Dr. Mackin was involved with a new company pitch focusing on the infant microbiome, now realized as Commense, during an internship at Puretech Ventures in Boston. She holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Brandeis University, where she studied the evolution of bacteriorhodopsin and the relationship between type I and type II rhodopsins.
