Armata Pharmaceuticals (NYSE American: ARMP) has completed enrollment (n=50) for its Phase 1b/2a diSArm study of intravenous AP-SA02, targeting Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AP-SA02, a bacteriophage therapy, as an adjunct to standard antibiotics. Armata expects topline data in Q1 2025, which could support the initiation of a pivotal efficacy trial later that year. Initial findings show no significant adverse events and evidence of in vivo phage amplification in half of the treated subjects. The study is backed by $21.6 million from the Defense Health Agency and the Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program.
Armata Pharmaceuticals (NYSE American: ARMP) announced a publication in Communications Biology describing the structure of phage Pa193, a key component of their multi-phage clinical candidate AP-PA02. The study, utilizing cryogenic electron microscopy, focuses on treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) or non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). The research provides detailed structural analysis at single atom resolution, offering insights into phage stability and genome-delivery mechanisms. This understanding could potentially expand clinical applications to other pathogens beyond P. aeruginosa.
Armata Pharmaceuticals (NYSE American: ARMP), a biotechnology company specializing in bacteriophage therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant infections, has announced its participation in the H.C. Wainwright 26th Annual Global Investment Conference. The event is set to take place in New York from September 9-11, 2024.
Dr. Deborah Birx, Armata's Chief Executive Officer, will deliver a corporate presentation on Wednesday, September 11, from 8:00-8:30 AM ET.

Armata Pharmaceuticals (NYSE American: ARMP) announced a poster presentation at the 2024 Military Health System Research Symposium. The presentation highlights two phage development programs: inhaled AP-PA02 for Pseudomonas aeruginosa bronchiectasis and intravenous AP-SA02 for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. The company is 80% through enrollment in its Phase 1b/2a study (diSArm) of AP-SA02, expecting completion by end of 2024. AP-SA02 development is supported by a $21.6 million Department of Defense grant. Both phage candidates have been well-tolerated in clinical trials, allowing for higher doses. Armata plans to advance both candidates to pivotal Phase 3 trials in 2025. Preliminary data suggests intravenous AP-SA02 is active in all subjects, with longer persistence in some, potentially indicating in vivo amplification. Inhaled AP-PA02 shows promise as an alternative to inhaled antibiotics for P. aeruginosa bronchiectasis.
