About BX004BiomX is developing BX004, a fixed
multi-phage cocktail, for the treatment of CF patients with chronic
pulmonary infections caused by P. aeruginosa, a main contributor to
morbidity and mortality in patients with CF. In November 2023,
BiomX announced positive topline results from Part 2 of the Phase
1b/2a trial where BX004 demonstrated improvement in pulmonary
function associated with a reduction in P. aeruginosa burden
compared to placebo in a predefined subgroup of patients with
reduced lung function (baseline FEV1<70%).
BiomX expects to initiate a randomized, double blind,
placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2b trial in CF patients with
chronic P. aeruginosa pulmonary infections in the fourth quarter of
2024. The trial is designed to enroll approximately 60 patients
randomized at a 2:1 ratio to BX004 or placebo. Treatment is
expected to be administered via inhalation twice daily for a
duration of 8 weeks. The trial is designed to monitor the safety
and tolerability of BX004 and is designed to demonstrate
improvement in microbiological reduction of P. aeruginosa burden
and evaluation of effects on clinical parameters such as lung
function measured by FEV1 and patient reported outcomes. Trial
results are expected in the third quarter 2025. The FDA has granted
BX004 Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug Designation.
About BiomXBiomX is a clinical-stage company
leading the development of natural and engineered phage cocktails
and personalized phage treatments designed to target and destroy
harmful bacteria for the treatment of chronic diseases with
substantial unmet needs. BiomX discovers and validates proprietary
bacterial targets and applies its BOLT (“BacteriOphage Lead to
Treatment”) platform to customize phage compositions against these
targets. For more information, please visit www.biomx.com, the

Safe HarborThis press release contains express

words such as: “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “may,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” and
other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or
trends or that are not statements of historical matters. For
example, when BiomX discusses the expected timing of clinical
trials, key data readouts and topline results and the potential
benefits of BX004, BiomX is making forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor
assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on
BiomX management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions.
In addition, past and current pre-clinical and clinical results, as
well as compassionate use, are not indicative and do not guarantee
future success of BiomX clinical trials. Because forward-looking
statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent
uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are
difficult to predict and many of which are outside of BiomX’s
control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from
those indicated in the forward-looking statements, as a result of
various important factors, including risks and uncertainties
related to the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the
merger with APT; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be
instituted against BiomX following the merger and related
transactions; the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the
common stock of BiomX on the NYSE American following the merger;
costs related to the merger; changes in applicable laws or
regulations; the possibility that BiomX may be adversely affected
by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, including
risks inherent in pharmaceutical research and development, such as:
adverse results in BiomX’s drug discovery, preclinical and clinical
development activities, the risk that the results of preclinical
studies and early clinical trials may not be replicated in later
clinical trials, BiomX’s ability to enroll patients in its clinical
trials, and the risk that any of its clinical trials may not
commence, continue or be completed on time, or at all; decisions
made by the FDA and other regulatory authorities; investigational
review boards at clinical trial sites and publication review bodies
with respect to our development candidates; BiomX’s ability to
obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property rights for its
platform and development candidates; its potential dependence on
collaboration partners; competition; uncertainties as to the
sufficiency of BiomX’s cash resources to fund its planned
activities for the periods anticipated and BiomX’s ability to
manage unplanned cash requirements; and general economic and market
conditions. Therefore, investors should not rely on any of these
forward-looking statements and should review the risks and
uncertainties described under the caption “Risk Factors” in BiomX’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on April 4, 2024, and additional disclosures
BiomX makes in its other filings with the SEC, which are available

statements are made as of the date of this press release, and
except as provided by law BiomX expressly disclaims any obligation
or undertaking to update forward-looking statements.
