The human body hosts various communities of microbes, encompassing both beneficial and harmful species, collectively known as microbiota. Similarly, the ecosystem of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms within a host system is termed the microbiome. The role of microbiota in disease development and pathogenesis has led to growing interest in microbiome-based therapeutics within the medical science community. Over the past two decades, significant advancements have been made in microbiome therapy research and its therapeutic applications. Live biotherapeutic products (LBPs), a category of microbiome therapy, utilize live microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, to prevent or treat various diseases. LBPs are specifically designed for therapeutic purposes and are regulated as medicinal products or biologics in many countries. These therapeutic modalities consist of well-characterized specific strains of microorganisms extensively researched for their intended medical applications, followed by rigorous testing and clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy in treating or preventing specific medical conditions. Furthermore, the microbiome-based therapeutic approach holds potential in profiling the patient's microbiome composition using gene sequencing, leading to the development of tailored treatment options.

It is noteworthy that in November 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first microbiome-based therapy, RBX2660 (developed by Rebiotix), for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. With several promising microbiome-based live biotherapeutic products advancing through clinical pipelines, this emerging therapeutic segment is expected to become one of the fastest-growing global markets within the pharmaceutical industry in the coming years. Despite numerous developments in microbiome-based therapies and decades of experience in growing bacteria to produce biologics, the biotech industry still lacks sufficient infrastructure for microbiome manufacturing, including live biotherapeutic products manufacturing. Large-scale manufacturing of live bacterial therapies faces various challenges. Some key concerns for contemporary innovators include prolonged development timelines, stringent temperature control requirements, complex engineering of diverse aerobic/anaerobic strains (depending on the type of microbe), and inconsistencies related to the quality attributes of the final product. Consequently, outsourcing microbiome therapeutics manufacturing to Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) has emerged as a lucrative option for developers of human microbiome therapies to address existing manufacturing issues. These CMOs and CDMOs, part of the broader biologics contract manufacturing market, are increasingly focusing on enhancing their offerings by incorporating novel technologies to streamline microbiome manufacturing processes, increase production efficiency, and improve quality. This trend is expected to further drive growth in both the microbiome and microbiome manufacturing markets.Report Coverage
