Exclusion Criteria:
- Acute or chronic medical (including COVID-19 infection), surgical, psychiatric, or social condition or laboratory abnormality (except those that can be explained by malabsorption) that may increase subject risk associated with study participation, compromise adherence to study procedures and requirements, or may confound interpretation of results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for enrollment.

- History of kidney stones.
- Subjects taking supplements that contain vitamin C should continue to use their supplements at a constant dose throughout the study, having maintained a constant dose for 2 weeks prior to screening.

- Pregnant or lactating.
- Administration or ingestion of any type of systemic (e.g., oral or intravenous) antibiotic within 5 half-lives of the agent prior to Day 1. Exception: topical antibiotics are allowed.

- Intolerance of, or allergic reaction to, EcN, all PPIs, or any of the ingredients in SYNB8802v1 or placebo formulations.
- Dependence on alcohol or drugs of abuse.
- Current, immunodeficiency disorder including autoimmune, except for controlled HIV (see inclusion Criterion #9). disorders.
- Administration or ingestion of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening visit, or current enrollment in an investigational study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1, as assessed by measuring of vital signs
Vital Signs Resting vital signs will be collected as specified in the protocol. Subjects are required to remain in the sitting position for at least 5 minutes prior to obtaining vital signs. A symptom-directed physical examination will be performed by trained medical personnel as specified in the protocol.
Safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1 by assessing clinical laboratory tests
The clinical laboratory tests listed in the protocol will be performed at the time points specified in the protocol's schedule of assessments.
Safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1, as assessed by AEs, clinical laboratory tests, and vital sign measurements
Adverse events will be assessed continuously by direct observation and subject event recording and interviews. The severity of AEs will be evaluated using the NCI CTCAE, version 5.0 criteria.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Change from baseline in 24-hour excreted UOx among SYNB8802v1-treated subjects versus those treated with placebo.
Urinary oxalate will be determined from 24-hour urine sample collections to be completed at the points specified in the Schedule of Assessments.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Study SYNB8802-CP-002 is designed to assess safety, tolerability, and oxalate lowering, in subjects with a history of gastric bypass surgery or short-bowel syndrome. In addition, this study will explore other PD effects relative to baseline as well as predictors of efficacy and tolerability.
Detailed Description
This is a double-blind (sponsor-open), randomized (3:2), placebo-controlled, inpatient study evaluating the safety and tolerability of SYNB8802v1 in subjects with a history of gastric bypass surgery or short-bowel syndrome. An interim analysis of results by an unblinded statistician will be performed after 10 subjects.
The study includes the following periods:
Screening period (27 days)
Diet run in (3 days)
Dosing Period (12 days)
Safety follow-up (28 days)
The maximum duration of the inpatient stay will be 17 days (Day -4 to Day 13). Subjects will report to the clinical research unit (CRU) on Day -4 and will complete a 3-day diet run-in period (Days -3 to -1) during which they will consume an AOLC diet (refer to Diet Manual for details). Dietary oxalate and calcium will be distributed across 3 meals per day, and subjects will maintain this diet until the end of the dosing period. A proton pump inhibitor (PPI, esomeprazole) will be administered once daily (QD), 60-90 minutes before breakfast, from the start of the diet run-in period (Day -3) until the end of the dosing period (Day 12).
On Day 1, subjects will be randomly assigned to treatment with SYNB8802v1 or placebo (collectively referred to as investigational medicinal product [IMP]). The dosing period consists of 12 days following a dose escalation plan from 1 × 1011 live cells QD to 3 × 1011 live cells TID; the dosing period for each dose level includes a 2-day dose ramp and a 3-day steady-state period. During the dose ramp, placebo will be administered such that all subjects receive IMP dosing TID. On the morning of the first day of the run-in period (Day -3), a forced void urine sample will be collected to completely empty the bladder before the first placebo dose administration. A 24-hour urine collection will then be started and will continue throughout the in-patient period. In addition, daily 24-hour fecal samples will be collected. Subjects will be released from the CRU upon the completion of safety assessments on Day 13 (the day after the last dose of IMP). Safety follow-up visits (calls) will occur every 7 (±2) days until 28 (±2) days after the last dose of IMP.

Intervention Name(s)
SYNB8802v1
Intervention Description
SYNB8802v1 is an orally administered, non-systemically absorbed live biotherapeutic developed for the treatment of EH. The strain converts oxalate to formate and CO2, two naturally occurring GI metabolites.
SYNB8802 was developed by engineering a pathway for oxalate degradation in a probiotic strain of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). It is intended to act within the GI tract to reduce the oxalate levels in patients with EH by converting oxalate to formate and CO2, two naturally occurring GI metabolites.
Intervention Type

Intervention Name(s)
Placebo
Intervention Description
placebo powder will be aliquoted into high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles and diluted in the same formulation buffer as SYNB8802v1 lyophilized powder. The placebo consists of corn starch and dyes to color match the placebo to the SYNB8802v1 powder for oral suspension
