/EINPresswire.com/ -- FORT COLLINS, CO--(Marketwired - February 07, 2018) - Armis Biopharma, Inc. ("Armis" or the "Company"), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company with a growing pipeline of targeted anti-infective therapeutics designed to address antibiotic resistance and healthcare-associated infections, a serious and rapidly growing phenomenon, announced today that Mike Handley, Chief Executive Officer of Armis, will present at the BIO CEO & Investor Conference on Monday, February 12, 2018 at 3:15 p.m. EST in New York, NY.

As part of his presentation, Mr. Handley will provide a corporate overview as well as discuss the Company's plans to advance its lead product candidate Ximycin™, initially being developed for targeted prophylaxis of surgical site infections in elective colorectal resection procedures typically related to inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis or colon cancer. Armis is on track to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 registration study for its lead indication of Ximycin in 2018.

Ximycin, the Company's lead product candidate, is a patented, first-of-its-kind localized antimicrobial therapy derived from a combination of a gram-positive agent, vancomycin, and a gram-negative agent, gentamicin, two potent well-established and accepted agents. Ximycin utilizes a proprietary sustained-release delivery method via gel formulation, enabling temporally-extended, broad spectrum polymicrobial coverage in the incision site.

The Company recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated Ximycin as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for prophylactic treatment of surgical site infections in high-risk patients undergoing non-emergent colorectal surgery.

In addition to the presentation, management will be available to participate in one-on-one meetings with qualified members of the investor community who are registered to attend the conference. To schedule a meeting, please contact the Company through the one-on-one meeting portal.
