Armata Pharmaceuticals Announces
Third Quarter 2022 Results and Provides Corporate Update
MARINA DEL REY, Calif., November 9, 2022 -- Armata
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: ARMP) ("Armata" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company focused on pathogen-specific
bacteriophage therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant and difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, today announced financial results for
its third quarter 2022 and provided a corporate update.
Third Quarter 2022 and Recent Developments:
"During the third quarter, we have made
significant progress in the SWARM-P.a. study. We now anticipate enrolling the last subject in the fourth quarter with top-line
data expected in early 2023," stated Dr. Brian Varnum, Chief Executive Officer of Armata. "Concurrently, we made progress
with our second lead program, AP-SA02 in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, enrolling in the Phase 1b portion of the diSArm study
while continuing to expand the study reach in the United States and abroad. Importantly, we achieved regulatory approvals required to
activate clinical sites in Australia, which we believe may accelerate enrollment in this difficult-to-treat patient population. Finally,
our pipeline expansion activities continue to progress, with ongoing site activation for the Tailwind study evaluating AP-PA02
in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, and study start-up activities for AP-SA02 in prosthetic joint infections."
