Approximately 88% sustained clinical response rate Response rate far exceeded FDA predefined threshold for single pivotal trial Time point SER-109 (N =89) Placebo (N =93) Relative risk (95%CI) p-value (p1/p2) n (%) of recurrences n (%) of recurrences Week 8 11 (12.4) 37 (39.8) 0.32 (0.18-0.58) <0.001 / <0.001 TRIAL DESIGN Highly Positive SER-109 Phase 3 Study Efficacy Results Primary endpoint: C. diff. recurrence, at up to 8 weeks SER-109 (n = 90) Multiply recurrent C. difficile patients (n=182) All subjects treated with standard of care antibiotics Placebo (n = 92) 0 weeks 8 weeks 24 weeks Safety follow-up to 24 weeks PRIMARY EFFICACY ENDPOINT RESULTS SER-109


Slide 10

Favorable Safety Profile Observed in Phase 3 SER-109 was well tolerated, with no treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) observed in the active arm, and an adverse event profile comparable to placebo Overall incidence of patients who experienced AEs was similar between SER-109 and placebo arms throughout the study SER-109
