Frequently asked questions about AP-SA02

What is AP-SA02?

AP-SA02 is an investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Armata Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, a serious bloodstream infection. It is designed as a targeted antibacterial therapy and has received Fast Track, Qualified Infectious Disease Product, and Breakthrough Therapy designations from the FDA.

What is AP-SA02 used for in bacteremia?

AP-SA02 is being developed to treat Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, a bloodstream infection caused by S. aureus. It is intended for patients with this condition and is given intravenously. The program is investigational and has not been approved for commercial use.

What does AP-SA02 target?

AP-SA02 targets Staphylococcus aureus, the bacterium responsible for the bloodstream infection it is being developed to treat. It is a monoclonal antibody directed against this pathogen, falling within the bacteriophage-derived target class. This targeted approach aims to address S. aureus bacteremia specifically rather than relying on broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.

Who is developing AP-SA02?

AP-SA02 is being developed by Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biotechnology company whose common stock trades under the ticker symbol ARMP. Armata is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating AP-SA02 in patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

What phase is AP-SA02 in?

AP-SA02 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA. The completed Phase 1 trial enrolled 56 patients and was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, evaluating safety, tolerability, and efficacy in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.

What clinical trials is AP-SA02 in?

AP-SA02 has been studied in one clinical trial, NCT05184764, titled a study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravenous AP-SA02 in subjects with S. aureus bacteremia. That Phase 1 trial is completed and enrolled 56 participants across the United States and Australia, in adults 18 years and older.
