MaaT Pharma Announces €18 Million Series B Financing Round to Support Further Clinical Development of Microbiome Biotherapeutics

Lyon, France, February 5, 2020 – MaaT Pharma announced today an €18 million Series B financing round including a microbiome-focused US investor, SymBiosis, LLC, and support from its existing investors Seventure Partners, Crédit Mutuel Innovation, and Biocodex. The funding will enable the continued clinical development of the company’s current pipeline, as well as the expansion into additional oncological indications where restoring a functional microbiome could provide significant therapeutic benefit when combined with other cancer treatments such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

“We are excited to have added a US-based investor to our syndicate based on the strategic importance of the US market for our future development. I would like to thank our existing investors and our network of scientific advisors for their continued support as we enter into this next development phase for the company,” said Hervé Affagard, co-founder and CEO of MaaT Pharma. “A growing body of evidence suggests that a functional microbiome can improve cancer outcomes, and we look forward to continue building on our initial proof of concept by going beyond hematological malignancies into solid tumors.”
