Armata Pharmaceuticals said its experimental treatment for a serious bloodstream infection showed positive results in a recent mid-stage trial.

The Los Angeles-based biotech company said Wednesday that its drug, AP-SA02, outperformed standard antibiotics in patients with complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, a severe and often life-threatening blood infection.

In a Phase 2a study, patients receiving AP-SA02 alongside conventional antibiotics showed higher improvement rates than those given antibiotics alone. No patients in the AP-SA02 group experienced relapse or treatment failure during follow-up, compared with about 25% in the placebo group, the company said.

Chief Executive Deborah Birx said Armata plans to advance AP-SA02 into a Phase 3 trial next year, pending Food and Drug Administration review.

Shares jumped 95% to $6.78 before trading was paused for volatility.
