Ferring Pharmaceuticals to Explore Strategic Options for Rebyota®29.10.2025 14:00:00 CET | 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

375ai, an edge data intelligence company transforming the physical world into structured, machine-readable insights, today announced the launch of its mainnet on Solana. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251028976994/en/ 375ai Launches Data Layer for the Physical World The physical world is generating more data than ever before, but most of it is invisible. Traffic systems, advertising platforms, and governments still rely on outdated infrastructure and fragmented data sources to understand how people and goods move through cities.
