Sponsor decision to discontinue study.

The first stage of this study is a prospective, adaptive, Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, controlled study evaluating safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of NOV-001 in adult healthy volunteers.

The second stage of this study is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled study of safety, tolerability, and early efficacy in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria.

This study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and early efficacy of NOV-001. NOV-001 is an investigational combination product composed of NB1000S, a recombinant live biotherapeutic product, and NB2000P, a botanically derived polysaccharide. In Stage 1, NB1000S (or placebo) is administered on the first day of treatment and NB2000P is administered once daily, or as indicated in the adaptive study design. In Stage 2, NB1000S (or placebo) is administered two times per day on the first day of the treatment and NB2000P (or placebo) is administered once daily for 28 days, at doses determined in Stage 1.

Stage 1 Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Oral or parenteral antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to Screening, or anticipation of the need for such antibiotics during the Screening or treatment periods of the study.
• Current or history of any clinically significant medical illness or disorder the Investigator considers should exclude the subject from the study.
• Participation in any investigational intervention study within 30 days prior to study product administration in this study.
• Known hypersensitivity to omeprazole.
• Applicable only to certain study groups depending on emerging Stage 1 data: no current or anticipated use during the screening or treatment periods of the study of medications that have the potential for drug-drug interactions (DDI) with omeprazole.

Stage 2 Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Ages 18 to 65.

• Must, in the opinion of the Investigator, be in otherwise good health.
• Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including dietary restrictions, daily study product administration, pregnancy testing and contraception (if applicable), stool collections, and blood and 24-hour urine collections.

Stage 2 Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Chronic kidney disease with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening.
• Evidence of current acute renal injury or ongoing clinically significant renal disease.
• Oral or parenteral antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to Screening, or anticipation of the need for such antibiotics during the Screening or treatment periods of the study (topical antibiotics are permissible.)
• Taking during the study any treatment for hyperoxaluria except for NOV-001, other than stable treatments for the management of kidney stones.
• Taking Vitamin C ≥ 300 mg/day for > 10 days within 7 days prior to Screening; unwilling or unable to discontinue and/or avoid Vitamin C supplementation for the duration of study product treatment.
• Known active autoimmune disorder or other condition requiring high dose of systemic corticosteroids (i.e., > 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressant therapy.
• Current or history of any clinically significant medical illness or disorder other than enteric hyperoxaluria that the Investigator considers should exclude the patient from the study.
• Participation in any investigational intervention study within 30 days prior to study product administration in this study.
• Known hypersensitivity to omeprazole.
