Armata’s goal is to demonstrate the safety, tolerability and definitive efficacy of multiple therapeutic phage candidates in randomized controlled clinical trials required for regulatory approval and to support commercialization in both acute and chronic indications of high unmet medical need. Armata’s phage cocktails target key antibiotic-resistant and difficult-to-treat pathogens on the World Health Organization’s global priority pathogens list, inclduing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Armata’s fully integrated product development capabilities enable the discovery of optimal phage product candidates, and include the effective adaptation of phages to engineered host cells, essential for efficient process development and resulting in improved purity, stability, and manufacturability, to power rigorous clinical trials. Microbiological surveillance and synthetic biology capabilities drive long-term product life cycle management. We have completed three critical Phase 2 trials, two of which were completed in 2024, utilizing two distinct phage cocktails against two different pathogens with the potential to treat chronic pulmonary disease complicated by bacterial infection, as well as acute systemic bacterial infections. We believe we are on a critical pathway towards pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies.
