Ferring Pharmaceuticals to Explore Strategic Options for Rebyota ®29.10.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
As part of our ongoing transformation to sharpen our focus, we have decided to explore strategic options for Rebyota® (faecal microbiota, live – jslm). To date, more than five thousand patients suffering from recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) have found new hope when treated with Rebyota®. Without commercial critical mass in this therapy area at Ferring, we believe that this first-in-class, innovative product could benefit many more patients with a new approach to its continued commercialisation. As a result, Ferring will reduce commercial efforts in the United States while ensuring uninterrupted access for patients. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022, Rebyota® was the first FDA-approved faecal microbiota transplant, indicated for the prevention of rCDI in adults following antibiotic treatment for recurrent CDI. This milestone marked a significant advancement in understanding the role of the human microbiome in health and disease. Ferring
