"Notably, these data are the first clear evidence in a randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of phage in treating a serious systemic bacterial infection, with demonstrated efficacy regardless of antibiotic resistance patterns or site of infection. Findings from the diSArm study, including the favorable safety and tolerability profile of AP-SA02, will inform the design of a larger definitive efficacy study to demonstrate superiority of AP-SA02 in treating complicated S. aureus bacteremia, and will form the basis for an End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA which the Company intends to hold later this year. Importantly, Armata's planned superiority pivotal trial design will have the potential to change standard of care for a serious systemic pathogen that is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in the United States. We are very grateful for the ongoing support of Innoviva and the U.S. Department of Defense for providing critical funding to enable us to continue to advance this promising program."

With two promising therapeutic candidates and a state-of-the-art manufacturing platform that can achieve the high purity necessary for clinical success, we are very well positioned to address areas of high unmet need while creating significant long-term value for our company," Dr. Birx concluded.
