This study of exebacase in patients with chronic PJI provides the opportunity to demonstrate clinical efficacy in a new setting and build on the positive data we have seen through compassionate use. Currently, prosthetic joint infections are extremely difficult and expensive to treat as antibiotics fail to clear the bacterial biofilms on the prostheses, often resulting in multiple surgeries, or revisions, of the prosthetic implant. Patients suffer tremendous loss of mobility and are often immobilized prior to and during the surgical procedures. The high infection recurrence rate leaves physicians and patients with no other options. We hope to bring a new treatment modality to this patient population that has the potential to clear biofilms and greatly improve their quality of life,\u201d said Roger J. Pomerantz, MD, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of ContraFect. \u201cWe are all excited to be back in the clinic and look forward to having two programs in clinical development with the expected advancement of our second program, CF-370, for the potential treatment of respiratory and other infections due to Gram-negative pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains, into a Phase 1 study later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Phase 1b\/2 study of exebacase is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study conducted in France to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of intra-articularly administered exebacase in patients with chronic PJI of the knee due to <em>S. aureus<\/em> or CoNS. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part I will assess efficacy at an early, six-week timepoint in addition to safety and PK. Part II will be a long-term clinical safety and efficacy follow-up for a period of up to two years. Patients entering the study will be randomized 3:1 to either exebacase or placebo, with all patients receiving study drug in the setting of a DAIR Procedure.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Data from compassionate use cases is available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrafect.com\/technology\/publications-posters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Publications &amp; Posters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.contrafect.com\/presentations\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Presentations<\/a> sections of the Company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About ContraFect<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">ContraFect is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of DLAs, including lysins and amurin peptides, as new medical modalities for the treatment of life-threatening, antibiotic-resistant infections. An estimated 700,000 deaths worldwide each year are attributed to antimicrobial-resistant infections. We intend to address life threatening infections using our therapeutic product candidates from our platform of DLAs, which include lysins and amurin peptides. Lysins are a new class of DLAs which are recombinantly produced antimicrobial proteins with a novel mechanism of action associated with the rapid killing of target bacteria, eradication of biofilms and synergy with conventional antibiotics. Amurin peptides are a novel class of DLAs which exhibit broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, including\u00a0<em>P. aeruginosa<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Acinetobacter baumannii<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Enterobacter<\/em>\u00a0species. We believe that the properties of our lysins and amurin peptides will make them suitable for targeting antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as MRSA and\u00a0<em>P. aeruginosa<\/em>, which can cause serious infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia and osteomyelitis. We have completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of\u00a0<em>Staph aureus<\/em>\u00a0bacteremia, including endocarditis, with our lead lysin candidate, exebacase, which is the first lysin to enter clinical studies in the U.S. Exebacase was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for the treatment of MRSA bloodstream infections, including right-sided endocarditis, when used in addition to SOC anti-staphylococcal antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Follow ContraFect on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ContraFectCorp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@ContraFectCorp<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/contrafect-corp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>F<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>orward-Looking Statements <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This press release contains, and our officers and representatives may make from time to time, \u201cforward-looking statements\u201d within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.
