Armata Pharmaceuticals Receives Agreement From FDA On Initial Pediatric Study Plan For AP-SA02 For The Treatment Of Complicated Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has received agreement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on an Agreed Initial Pediatric Study Plan, which establishes the agreed regulatory framework for the future evaluation of AP-SA02 for the adjunct treatment of complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in pediatric patients. Agreement with the FDA on an iPSP is a regulatory requirement that must be met prior to submitting a Biologics License Application. The Agreed iPSP outlines a proposed pediatric development program targeting patients up to 17 years of age with complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, the same indication that Armata is pursuing in adults. Consistent with FDA requirements under the Pediatric Research Equity Act and with established FDA and European Medicines Agency regulatory frameworks, the FDA agreed that because the disease pathophysiology and treatment response in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia are consistent across all age groups, pediatric studies should be deferred until safety and efficacy data are generated in adults in the planned Phase 3 program. Following completion of the adult Phase 3 study which is expected to initiate in the second half of 2026, the proposed program will comprise a single, multicenter, open-label, pediatric study to assess safety, tolerability, and clinical response outcomes. This strategy establishes a pathway for potential future expansion of AP-SA02 into the pediatric population while prioritizing patient safety and efficient clinical development. Armata is developing AP-SA02, a fixed multi-phage cocktail, for the adjunct treatment of complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia caused by methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. AP-SA02 has received Qualified Infectious Disease Product and Fast Track designations from the FDA. The diSArm study (NCT05184764) was a Phase 1b/2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose escalation study of the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravenous AP-SA02 in addition to best available antibiotic therapy compared to best available antibiotic therapy alone (placebo) for the treatment of adults with complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. Positive results from the Phase 2a diSArm study were highlighted in a late-breaking oral presentation at IDWeek 2025 in October 2025. The Company plans to advance AP-SA02 into a Phase 3 superiority study in complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, anticipated to initiate in the second half of 2026. Announcement • Jun 25

Armata Pharmaceuticals Highlights Positive Results from Phase 2a diSArm Study of its Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteriophage Cocktail, AP-SA02, in Late-Breaking Oral Presentation at IDWeek 2025 Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. highlighted positive results from its recently completed Phase 2a diSArm study of AP-SA02 as a potential treatment for complicated Staphylococcus aureus ("S. aureus") bacteremia ("SAB") in a late-breaking oral presentation at IDWeek 2025™. The abstract, titled, "A Phase 2a Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of an Intravenous (IV) Bacteriophage Cocktail (AP-SA02) vs. Placebo in Combination with Best Available Antibiotic Therapy (BAT) in Patients with Complicated Staphylococcus auresus Bacteremia," was accepted as a highly coveted late-breaking abstract for oral presentation, and was presented by Dr. Loren G. Miller, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and the Lundquist Institute. New findings demonstrate that the defined and reproducible genomic variants present in AP-SA02 Drug Product may provide an immediate advantage, enabling rapid, strain-specific response to each patient's S. aureus isolate. These results strongly support advancement into a pivotal Phase 3 trial that Armata plans to initiate in 2026, subject to review and feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). The Company is engaged with the FDA regarding a potential superiority trial design. Armata is developing AP-SA02, a fixed multi-phage phage cocktail, for the treatment of complicated bacteremia caused by Staphylococcus auredus (S. aureus), including methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains. The results from the diSArm study are an important step forward in Armata's effort to confirm the potent antimicrobial activity of phage therapy and the completion of the study represents a significant milestone in the development of AP-SA02, moving Armata one step closer to introducing an effective new treatment option to patients suffering from complicated S. aureus bacteremia. The Phase 1b/2a clinical development of AP-SA02 was partially supported by a $26.2 million Department of Defense (DoD) award, received through the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) and managed by the Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) - Naval Advanced Medical Development (NAMD) with funding from the Defense Health Agency and Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program.

Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Positive Topline Data from the Phase 1B/2A diSArm Study of Intravenous Administration AP-SA02 in Complicated Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced positive topline results from its Phase 1b/2a diSArm trial which evaluated AP-SA02, a novel intravenous ("IV") administered multi-phage therapeutic for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus ("S. aureus") bacteremia ("SAB"), in the intent-to-treat ("ITT") population. The primary clinical efficacy endpoint for the Phase 2a portion of the diSArm study was clinical outcome (responder rate) in subjects with complicated bacteremia, measured at (i) Test of Cure ("TOC") for AP-SA02, defined as one week following the end of IV treatment with AP-SA02 (day 12), (ii) TOC for BAT, defined as one week following of IV BAT, and (iii) end of study ("EOS"), defined as four weeks following the end of IV BAT. A statistically significant increase in investigator-assessed responder rate was observed at TOC for AP-SA02 (day12) in AP-SA02 treated subjects (88%) versus placebo (58%) (p = 0.047). At TOC for BAT and at EOS, 100% of the AP-SA02 treated subjects had clinically responded (p = 0.017) versus 25% of placebo subjects considered non-responsive due to either relapse or treatment failure, consistent with the non-responder rate reported in the literature for recent phase 3 trials. Of note, the clinical response with AP-SA02 occurred regardless of whether subjects were infected with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus ("MSSA") or methicillin-resistant S. aureus ("MRSA"). This clinical trial is groundbreaking in two fundamental ways: firstly, this is the first clear evidence in a randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of phage against a serious systemic pathogen that is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in the United States, and secondly, Armata was able to successfully produce high titer phage with high purity allowing for repetitive IV administration every six hours without significant safety concerns.

Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Encouraging Results from the Phase 2 Tailwind Study of Inhaled AP-PA02 in Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Subjects with Chronic Pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced encouraging topline results from its Phase 2 ("Tailwind") trial evaluating AP-PA02, a novel, inhaled multi-phage therapeutic for the treatment of chronic pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa ("P.a." or "P. aeruginosa") infections in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis ("NCFB") patients. This is the second successful clinical trial AP-PA02, Armata's lead pulmonary candidate, which was first evaluated in cystic fibrosis patients in the Phase 1b/2a SWARM-P.a. trial, completed in 2023. The Tailwind study (NCT05616221) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of inhaled AP-PA02. The Tailwind study was conducted in two cohorts running in parallel: subjects in one cohort (cohort A) received inhaled AP-PA02 as monotherapy, while subjects in another cohort (cohort B) received inhaled anti-pseudomonal antibiotic treatment. The study data indicate the potential for phage therapy to reduce reliance on chronic antibiotic use. Safety data indicate that inhaled AP-PA02 was well-tolerated with treatment-emergent adverse events mild and self-limiting. The company believe the safety and tolerability of AP-PA02 exhibited a promising profile for treating chronically infected NCFB patients. Announcement • Dec 06

Armata Pharmaceuticals Announces the Completion of Enrollment of its Phase 1b/2a diSArm Study Evaluating Intravenous AP-SA02 as a Potential Treatment for Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that it has achieved full enrollment (n=50) of its Phase 1b/2a diSArm study of intravenous AP-SA02 as a potential treatment for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteremia. Armata anticipates topline data from the diSArm study in the first quarter of 2025. During the Phase 2a portion of diSArm, Armata focused on evaluating clinical safety of higher intravenous doses of AP-SA02 and accelerating enrollment to arrive at topline data expeditiously. The manufacture of highly purified phages using Armata's proprietary methods enabled dose escalation to 5E10 PFU every six hours (2E11 PFU every 24 hours) for five days without clinically significant adverse events. In parallel with dose escalation, the evolution of two distinct blinded subsets of subjects receiving phage has been observed. One subset, comprising approximately half of the treated group, has evidence of persistence of detectable phage in the blood providing early evidence of in vivo phage amplification and resultant release of phage progeny. The Company anticipates topline data from the diSArm study in the first quarter of 2025 where it can explore the two aforementioned subsets in an unblinded manner. Topline results are also expected to inform the optimal dose of AP-SA02 to be evaluated in the larger definitive efficacy study. Armata remains committed to developing a pivotal S. aureus bacteremia trial in 2025 to evaluate the intravenous phage product candidate, AP-SA02, as an adjunct to standard of care broad-spectrum antibiotics and/or potentially as an alternative to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Modern medicine requires a hard look at reliance on broad-spectrum antibiotics and their detrimental impact on the healthy human microbiome. The Company plans to discuss its pivotal trial design with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The clinical development of AP-SA02 is supported in part by $21.6 million funds from the Defense Health Agency and Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program received through the MTEC and managed by the NMRC-NAMD. The diSArm study is a Phase 1b/2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose escalation study of the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravenous AP-SA02 as an adjunct to best available antibiotic therapy (BAT) compared to BAT alone for the treatment of adults with bacteremia due to S. aureus. The Phase 1b portion evaluated the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending intravenous doses of AP-SA02 or placebo as an adjunct to BAT compared to BAT alone in subjects with S. aureus bacteremia. The Phase 2a portion evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of multiple doses of intravenous AP-SA02 or placebo as an adjunct to BAT compared to BAT alone in subjects with complicated S. aureus bacteremia.

Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Clearance of Investigational New Drug Application to Initiate Phase 2 Clinical Trial of AP-PA02 in Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Armata Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared Armata's Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate a clinical trial of its optimized lead therapeutic candidate, AP-PA02, in a second indication, non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). The company plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in 2022. In patients with NCFB, lung infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often associated with frequent pulmonary exacerbations, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality, and may require hospital admission for treatment. Although chronic inhaled antibiotics are recommended for long-term management of NCFB with frequent exacerbations, there is currently no approved therapy. In addition to the upcoming trial of AP-PA02 in NCFB, Armata is also conducting a Phase 1b/2a trial (SWARM-P.a.) of AP-PA02 targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients, and a Phase 1b/2a trial (diSArm) of AP-SA02 targeting Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

Armata Pharmaceuticals Provides Update on Pseudomonas Respiratory Programs Armata Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced the modification of its lead bacteriophage product candidate, AP-PA02, to include additional phage genera that increase potency and broaden coverage of strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa found in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). The improvements in AP-PA02 reflect Armata's core strategy of utilizing clinical isolate surveillance data to drive enhancement of product composition. Prior to initiating the SWARM-P.a. trial, Armata's clinical isolate screening and phage collections yielded a three-phage cocktail with compelling host-range coverage. Since then, Armata's ongoing discovery efforts have resulted in a P. aeruginosa phage library that encompasses more than 600 unique phages and a P. aeruginosa isolate collection that represents contemporary and historical clinical isolates with geographic diversity from relevant respiratory sources (CF, NCFB, and pneumonia). This library of more than 2,000 clinical isolates (1,000 genomes sequenced) has powered Armata's ability to strengthen the profile of AP-PA02. The optimized phage cocktail introduces two new phage genera, which provides coverage of at least 90% of tested P. aeruginosa clinical isolates and has shown superior in vitro potency as well as improved efficacy in an animal model of infection. Utilizing Armata's in-house capabilities, the two new phages were rapidly advanced through manufacturing and regulatory review and are now entering the ongoing SWARM-P.a. study. Screening P. aeruginosa isolates from people diagnosed with NCFB revealed that the five-phage AP-PA02 cocktail offers broad coverage and robust potency in this indication as well. NCFB is a serious respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammation of airways, decline of lung function, and frequent lung infections with P. aeruginosa. There are currently no approved inhaled antibiotics for the treatment of NCFB patients with chronic P. aeruginosa respiratory infections. Recognizing this high unmet medical need, Armata plans to advance quickly into a Phase 2 trial in NCFB in 2022. Conversely and representing the different physiology of acute pneumonia lung infections as compared to chronic CF and NCFB respiratory infections, a novel cocktail is in development for the clinical indication of pneumonia. Armata has deployed its extensive clinical isolate collection and phage library to identify a candidate 5-phage cocktail (AP-PA03) that is entering manufacturing with a regulatory filing expected in 2022.
