development of live biotherapeutics, a novel and emerging class of
drugs, defined by the FDA as biological products that contain a
live organism, such as a bacteria, that is applicable to the

4D's live biotherapeutic products are orally delivered single
strains of bacteria that are naturally found in the healthy human
gut. 4D currently has a pipeline of 13 preclinical programmes,
covering disease areas such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis and cancer, and is currently conducting subject trials in
Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Paediatric Crohn's Disease. The
