--Positive results in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 demonstrate KB109's potential to reduce healthcare utilization and recovery time; initiating IND application to support further development--
--Topline data from a clinical study of KB295 in patients with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis on track for mid-2021--
LEXINGTON, Mass., May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaleido Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:KLDO), a clinical-stage healthcare company with a differentiated, chemistry-driven approach to targeting the microbiome to treat disease and improve human health, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
"Kaleido is off to a strong start in 2021 marked by positive results from our 350-patient clinical study with KB109 in outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and a recently completed financing, which will support the continued expansion of our novel, targeted Microbiome Metabolic TherapyTM (MMT) candidates," said Dan Menichella, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kaleido. "Consistent with the interim findings we reported earlier this year, results from the full dataset demonstrated that KB109 has a favorable safety and tolerability profile and reduced COVID-19 related healthcare utilization and recovery time in patients with one or more comorbidity. Based on these results, we are investing in the manufacturing of KB109 and are initiating an IND application with the FDA."
Continued Mr. Menichella: "Beyond our COVID-19 program, we have a robust pipeline of MMT-based candidates that holds immense potential. We continue to make progress enrolling patients in our non-IND study evaluating KB295 in individuals with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis with topline data anticipated mid-year. We believe these data are critical as patients and clinicians express interest in novel, oral therapeutic options with a strong safety and tolerability profile."
Recent Program and Corporate Highlights
- An analysis from the full dataset (n=350) of the K031 controlled non-IND study of KB109 in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 demonstrated a reduction in overall COVID-19 related healthcare utilization—comprised of hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and urgent care visits. The study also demonstrated a significant reduction in recovery time for patients age 45 and older or with one or more comorbidity who received KB109 plus self-supportive care as compared to patients receiving self-supportive care alone.
- In February, Kaleido closed a public offering with gross proceeds of approximately $69.4 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
- In April, Kaleido announced a research collaboration with researcher Robert Jenq, M.D. Professor of Genomic Medicine, at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, to explore the potential of Kaleido's novel MMT in preventing febrile neutropenia—a serious complication associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT).
First Quarter Financial Results
Kaleido reported a net loss of $23.0 million, or $0.58 per common share, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $19.6 million, or $0.64 per common share, for the same period in 2020. The first quarter net loss includes non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $4.2 million, as compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $17.2 million and $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased spend relating to our two COVID-19 studies and the modification of the vesting provision of stock options and restricted stock units related to the resignation of our former CMO.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $5.5 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2010, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to reduced headcount and lower utilization of outside contractors.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $92.4 million. The Company continues to manage its operating expenses and, as a result, has cash runway into the first quarter of 2022.

LEXINGTON, Mass., April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaleido Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:KLDO), a clinical-stage healthcare company with a small molecule driven approach to targeting the microbiome to treat disease and improve human health, today announced a research collaboration with researcher Robert Jenq, M.D. Professor of Genomic Medicine, at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, to explore the potential of Kaleido's novel Microbiome Metabolic Therapies (MMT™) in preventing febrile neutropenia—a serious complication associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT).
Approximately 60,000 patients undergo HSCT annually in the U.S. and Europe, which includes patients with myeloid disorders, lymphoid disorders and plasma cell disorders. Recent scientific findings have demonstrated that treatment regimens given to HSCT patients have a profound detrimental effect on their microbiome, putting them at increased risk of bacterial infections, febrile neutropenia and ultimately, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
"Today, standard-of-care for patients with hematological cancers includes radiation and chemotherapy to eliminate malignant cells. This may lead to significant side effects including severe damage to the gut epithelium, and major disruption to a patient's microbiome," said Johan van Hylckama Vlieg, Chief Scientific Officer at Kaleido Biosciences. "Additionally, treatment combinations with broad-spectrum antibiotics used in the conditioning process, leave patients increasingly more susceptible to neutropenic fever. We are eager to work with Dr. Jenq to explore the potential of Kaleido's MMTs to selectively support the restoration of the microbiome and gut barrier integrity, with the aim of ultimately improving treatment outcomes for patients undergoing HSCT."
Within the collaboration, selected MMTs will be evaluated in disease animal models developed by Dr. Jenq, to further explore the molecular mechanisms by which MMTs act on the microbiome and gut barrier function and support the identification of a lead compound from Kaleido's compound library.
