OptiBiotix has whole genomic sequencing, built on a strong scientific and clinical evidence base, obtained FDA GRAS, and pharmaceutical GMP manufacture validation for LPLDL® which has created the potential for LPLDL® to be commercialised as a pharmaceutical drug product.  Seed are one of a number of partners OptiBiotix is working with to bring a range of cardiovascular, general health, and IBS applications to supplement and pharmaceutical markets around the world."

The regulatory acceptance enables DS-01 to enter a Phase II randomised, triple-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the role of the gut microbiome in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome ("IBS") and the impact of DS-01™ on intestinal microbial communities.

OptiBiotix previously announced (RNS: 22 May 2018) that it had entered into a non-exclusive agreement with Seed to produce, promote, market and commercialise products containing LPLDL® in the USA and the launch of Seeds Daily Synbiotic™ (RNS: June 7 2018) to consumers on its online platform www.seed.com. This FDA authorisation extends the opportunity into new drug and application areas for IBS.

Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: "We are pleased to see that Seed has achieved FDA authorisation for an IND in a product containing OptiBiotix's Lactobacillus plantarum LPLDL®. OptiBiotix has whole genomic sequencing, built on a strong scientific and clinical evidence base, obtained FDA GRAS, and pharmaceutical GMP manufacture validation for LPLDL® which has created the potential for LPLDL® to be commercialised as a pharmaceutical drug product.  Seed are one of a number of partners OptiBiotix is working with to bring a range of cardiovascular, general health, and IBS applications to supplement and pharmaceutical markets around the world."
