Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed by BiomX Inc. (“BiomX” or the “Company”) on August 19, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had placed a clinical hold on the Company’s Phase 2b study (the “Study”) that is design to test the Company’s drug candidate BX004 (“BX004”) in treating Cystic Fibrosis (“CF”) as the FDA reviews data submitted by the Company on a third-party nebulizer used in the Study to deliver BX004. Following the FDA’s hold notification, the Company submitted additional requested data. Furthermore, as previously disclosed by the Company on October 17, 2025, the Company received additional questions from the FDA relating to the third-party nebulizer device.
On November 25, 2025, BiomX updated that the FDA is continuing its evaluation of the third-party nebulizer device used for drug administration in the Study, and the Company is working with the third-party manufacturer to address these FDA follow-up information requests in order to lift the FDA’s clinical hold with respect to the Study. BiomX considers the outstanding items readily addressable while maintaining productive ongoing dialogue with the FDA and expects enrollment in the U.S. to resume once this process is complete and pending availability of financing resources.
In addition, on November 25, 2025, BiomX announced that an independent Data Monitoring Committee (“DMC”) has conducted a safety review of the Study. The review included participants who experienced adverse events, and following its evaluation, the DMC recommended that the Study continue with an adjusted dosing regimen. In accordance with the recommendations, BiomX is updating the trial protocol, and pending availability of financial resources and other factors, topline results are now expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report contains express or implied “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by 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 refers to the possibility that the data BiomX provides will allow the FDA to lift the clinical hold, sufficiency of financial resources, resumption of patient enrollment and timing thereof, the expected timing of topline results for the Study, the impact of the FDA clinical hold on the Study, and the potential impact of the adjustment to the dosing regimen recommended by the DMC on the Study, it is using 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. 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. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, 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; decisions made by 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 March 25, 2025, and additional disclosures BiomX makes in its other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking 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.
