Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On March 2, 2021, BiomX Inc., or the registrant, announced the dosing of the first subject in a Phase 2 cosmetic clinical study of BX001 in subjects with mild-to-moderate acne. BX001 is a topical gel comprised of a cocktail of naturally-occurring phage targeting Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). C. acnes are bacteria implicated in the pathophysiology of acne vulgaris. The aim of the study is to provide clinically meaningful improvement of the appearance of acne-prone skin.

 

The Phase 2 cosmetic clinical study is a 12-week randomized, single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 140 individuals with mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris. Subjects enrolled will be randomized into two cohorts: BX001 or placebo (vehicle) in a 1:1 ratio and will self-administer BX001 or placebo twice daily. The key endpoints will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of BX001. The specific efficacy parameters include the measurements of inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions, Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) score and reduction of C. acnes bacterial levels on skin. Results from the 8-week time point are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2021 and full analysis including the 12-week time point is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  

Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K 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. For example, when the registrant discusses the safety, tolerability and efficacy of its phage therapy and the conducting, design aim and timing of its Phase 2 cosmetic clinical study and announcing results thereof, the registrant is making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on registrant’s 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 registrant’s control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. 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 registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 4, 2020 and additional disclosures the registrant makes in its 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 Current Report on Form 8-K, and except as provided by law the registrant expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements.
