About Vedanta Biosciences, Inc.
Vedanta Biosciences is a biotechnology company that pioneers the rational design of drugs made of defined consortia of bacteria found in the gut ecosystem. It is registered in SAM.gov as a for-profit corporate entity eligible to receive federal awards.
Through prime federal contract awards, Vedanta Biosciences has been tasked with developing medical countermeasures to treat antibiotic resistant infections. Notably, it received a contract potentially worth over $104 million from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response to advance its live biotherapeutic product VE303 through clinical development for the prevention of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. The contract aims to counter biological and pandemic threats, with no set-aside designation applied. It also has a sub-contract award from Boston University to develop an orally administered investigational live biotherapeutic product (VE707) consisting of defined, well-characterized, beneficial gut bacteria to decolonize gut-dwelling multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) like carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), extended-spectrum beta lactamase producers (ESBL), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) in high-risk patients to prevent infections and restore a healthy microbiota.
Through a sub-grant award from Boston University, Vedanta Biosciences is working on developing VE707, an investigational live biotherapeutic product consisting of defined gut bacteria, to eliminate intestinal carriage of CRE, ESBL, and VRE to prevent infections with these MDROs, restore a healthy microbiota, and prevent colonization recurrence. The grant aims to address the critical need for novel therapeutics to prevent MDRO infections, which can result in life-threatening treatment delays, death, and approximately $2 billion in healthcare-associated costs due to patient isolation practices alone.
