BiomX Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Program Updates
Rhea-AI Summary
BiomX (NYSE:PHGE) reported third quarter 2025 results and clinical updates on Nov 12, 2025. Key clinical points: positive FDA feedback on BX011 (S. aureus in diabetic foot infections) with a planned Phase 2a and FDA guidance outlining potential Phase 3 pathways for BX004 (P. aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis). The FDA has placed a U.S. clinical hold on the BX004 Phase 2b trial related to a third-party nebulizer; enrollment and dosing outside the U.S. continue and U.S. feedback is expected imminently. The company expects topline Phase 2b results in Q1 2026.
Financial highlights: cash and restricted cash $8.1M (Sept 30, 2025), sufficient to fund operations into Q1 2026; R&D $6.1M and G&A $2.4M in Q3; net loss $9.2M in Q3. Net cash used in operations was $22.0M for the nine months ended Sept 30, 2025.
Positive
- FDA feedback supports BX011 Phase 2a without extra nonclinical studies

Negative
- Cash and restricted cash $8.1M as of Sept 30, 2025 (down from $18M)
- Estimated cash runway only into Q1 2026, raising financing risk
- U.S. clinical hold on BX004 Phase 2b related to third-party nebulizer
- Net loss $9.2M for Q3 2025 reflecting continued cash burn

Positive FDA feedback confirms clear clinical pathway for BX011 targeting S. aureus in Diabetic Foot Infections, building on Company’s prior Phase 2 success
BiomX expects FDA feedback on BX004 clinical hold imminently; Enrollment and dosing of patients outside the U.S. are continuing in accordance with protocol
Positive FDA feedback received in October provided guidance for potential Phase 3 development pathways of BX004

NESS ZIONA, Israel, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BiomX Inc. (NYSE American: PHGE) (“BiomX” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage company advancing novel natural and engineered phage therapies targeting specific pathogenic bacteria, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided recent clinical and corporate updates.
“This past quarter was defined by significant advancements in our regulatory discussions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) across our pipeline,” said Jonathan Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of BiomX. “For BX004, we anticipate imminent FDA feedback regarding the clinical hold, and we have already received supportive guidance outlining potential Phase 3 development pathways that reflect recognition of the significant unmet need among cystic fibrosis patients treated with CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) modulators. In parallel, we received additional positive FDA feedback confirming a clear clinical development path for BX011, our new fixed multi-phage cocktail targeting Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in diabetic foot infections, building on the success of our prior Phase 2 trial in diabetic foot osteomyelitis.”
Clinical Program Updates
BX004 – Fixed phage cocktail for chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF)
- In July 2025, BiomX successfully initiated patient dosing in its Phase 2b trial of BX004, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study in approximately 60 CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa infections. The trial is designed to measure multiple efficacy endpoints, including reduction in bacterial burden, improvements in lung function, and enhanced quality of life.
- In October 2025, BiomX received written FDA feedback recognizing the significant unmet need among cystic fibrosis patients treated with CFTR modulators. The FDA outlined potential Phase 3 development pathways, including opportunities for population enrichment and optimized trial design.
- The FDA has placed a clinical hold on the Phase 2b study as it reviews data submitted by BiomX on third-party nebulizer used to deliver BX004; no concerns were raised in the clinical hold notification regarding the BX004 drug candidate. Enrollment and dosing of patients outside the U.S. is continuing in accordance with protocol. Feedback on the U.S. clinical hold of BX004 is expected imminently.
- The Company expects to report topline results from the Phase 2b study in the first quarter of 2026.
BX011 – Fixed phage cocktail for patients with diabetic foot infections (DFI) associated with S. aureus
- Earlier this month, BiomX announced that it has received positive feedback from the FDA on the proposed clinical development pathway for BX011, a next-generation fixed multi-phage cocktail targeting S. aureus in DFI. BiomX plans to prioritize DFI as the lead indication for regulatory development, ahead of the Company’s potential future development of BX211 in diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO).
- This plan builds on the significant positive Phase 2 results from BX211 in diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO), while enabling the Company to target the large DFI patient population.
- BiomX is currently planning a Phase 2a trial for BX011 following recent discussions and feedback from the FDA, with no additional non-clinical studies required, pending sufficiency of financial resources.
- The Company is in continued discussions with the U.S. Defense Health Agency (DHA) regarding next steps to support the utilization of phage therapy to target S. aureus-driven infections.
- In the third quarter, BiomX attended Infectious Disease Week 2025 in which the Company presented previously reported results targeting S. aureus during oral and poster presentations. Separately, during attendance at DFCon 2025 – Diabetic Foot Conference, the abstract accepted for poster presentation was awarded Best Clinical Abstract Award.

About BX004
BiomX 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<
About BX011
BX011 is a fixed multi-phage cocktail designed to treat S. aureus-associated DFI. DFI is a serious bacterial infection which frequently develops from ulcers on the foot and is a leading cause of amputation in patients with diabetes. BX011 incorporates multiple proprietary phages, including phage previously evaluated in the Company’s former DFO trial, to provide broad and potent coverage against this S. aureus in DFI patients. Following the FDA’s supportive feedback, BiomX plans to initiate a Phase 2a trial of BX011 in DFI, subject to available resources.
BiomX’s development of phage therapies for S. aureus has been supported by approximately US
About BiomX
