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.

Combination Product: NOV-001
NOV-001 is an investigational combination product composed of NB1000S, a recombinant live biotherapeutic product, and NB2000P, a botanically derived polysaccharide. |
Experimental: (Optional) Stage 1 variable doses of NB1000S and NB2000P at varying dosing regimens.
Adaptive trial design supports the enrollment of additional arms with variable doses of NB1000S, NB2000P, at varying frequencies of NB1000S and NB2000P administrations.

Combination Product: NOV-001
NOV-001 is an investigational combination product composed of NB1000S, a recombinant live biotherapeutic product, and NB2000P, a botanically derived polysaccharide. |
