Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Company is furnishing a presentation, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, summarizing the results from its controlled non-IND clinical study K031 evaluating Microbiome Metabolic Therapy (MMT™) candidate KB109 when added to Supportive Self-Care for outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 disease, which the Company intends to use from time to time in meetings with investors and others. The corporate presentation also includes information on a recently completed Food & Drug Administration (FDA) clinical inspection of the K031 study, as well as K032, a second non-IND clinical study evaluating KB109 for outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 disease. At the conclusion of the inspection, the FDA issued a Form 483 with a single observation that the Company failed to submit an IND prior to conducting a clinical investigation that the FDA concluded was of an investigational new drug. There were no findings related to the conduct or oversight of the studies.
