Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 16, 2023, Theriva Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the presentation of blinded safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of SYN-004 (ribaxamase) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients for the prevention of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD). These data will be featured in a poster presentation at 2023 Tandem Meetings: Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR, being held in Orlando, Florida from February 15-19, 2023.

Cohort 1 of the study enrolled 19 patients who received at least 1 dose of study drug (SYN-004 or Placebo randomized 2:1). Twelve of these patients completed two doses of IV MER to be evaluable towards the study endpoints. While the study is on-going and remains blinded, key findings showcased in the poster presentation (#LBA6) titled “Interim Analysis of SYN-004 Phase 1b/2a Trial in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) Recipients” include:

· Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) observed in Cohort 1 were typical of those observed in allo-HCT patients and no AEs or SAEs were determined to be related to study drug treatment by the investigators.

· Consistent with previous studies of SYN-004 in healthy volunteers, SYN-004 was not observed in blood samples from the majority of the evaluable patients.

· Meropenem pharmacokinetics were as expected for this patient population.

Rockville, MD, February 16, 2023 – Theriva Biologics (NYSE American: TOVX), (“Theriva” or the “Company”), a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat cancer and related diseases in areas of high unmet need, today announced the presentation of blinded safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of SYN-004 (ribaxamase) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients for the prevention of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD). These data will be featured in a poster presentation at the 2023 Tandem Meetings: Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR, being held in Orlando, Florida from February 15-19, 2023.

“SYN-004 (ribaxamase) is intended to address key limitations of broad-spectrum IV beta-lactam antibiotics and potentially improve treatment outcomes with this important and widely used class of therapeutics. We are encouraged by the favorable safety/tolerability profile and growing evidence from our initial meropenem (MER) cohort that supports the clinical advancement of SYN-004,” said Steven A. Shallcross, Chief Executive Officer of Theriva Biologics. “With our collaborators at Washington University we plan to continue to explore the therapeutic potential of SYN-004 and its ability to reduce serious adverse events in patients with hematologic cancers undergoing allogeneic HCT. Dosing is now underway for Cohort 2, which is designed to evaluate SYN-004 in combination with piperacillin/tazobactam and we look forward to providing further updates on our progress.”

Cohort 1 of the study enrolled 19 patients who received at least 1 dose of study drug (SYN-004 or Placebo randomized 2:1). Twelve of these patients completed two doses of IV MER to be evaluable towards the study endpoints.

About the Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial

The ongoing randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1b/2a clinical trial is being conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential absorption of oral SYN-004 (150 mg q.i.d. for a maximum of 28 days) into the systemic circulation of allogeneic HCT recipients who receive an IV antibiotic to treat fever. To mitigate risk, Cohort 1 of the study administered meropenem as the study-assigned antibiotic. Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic that is not metabolized by SYN-004. Patients in Cohorts 2 and 3 will be administered piperacillin/tazobactam and cefepime respectively, each of which can be metabolized by SYN-004. The trial is also designed to evaluate potential protective effects of SYN-004 on the gut microbiome as well as generate preliminary information on potential therapeutic benefits and patient outcomes of SYN-004 in allogeneic HCT recipients. The trial is expected to enroll up to 36 participants with three sequential cohorts, each evaluating a different study-assigned IV beta-lactam antibiotic. Safety and pharmacokinetic data for each cohort will be reviewed by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee that will make a recommendation on whether to proceed to the next IV beta-lactam antibiotic. More information on the study is available here (NCT04692181).

About SYN-004 (ribaxamase)

SYN-004 (ribaxamase) is an oral prophylactic therapy designed to degrade certain IV beta-lactam antibiotics within the GI tract and maintain the natural balance of the gut microbiome for the prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), overgrowth of pathogenic organisms, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Allogeneic HCT recipients routinely receive long courses of IV beta-lactam antibiotics to treat infection following conditioning therapy. Antibiotic-mediated damage of the gut microbiome in allogeneic HCT recipients may lead to adverse outcomes including CDI, VRE colonization and potentially fatal bacteremia and aGVHD. A previously completed placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial of 412 patients demonstrated SYN-004 protected the gut microbiome from antibiotic-mediated dysbiosis. Patients who received SYN-004 also demonstrated significantly better maintenance and recovery of the gut microbiome as well as lower incidences of new colonization by opportunistic and potentially pathogenic microorganisms such as VRE.

About Theriva Biologics, Inc.

Theriva Biologics (NYSE American: TOVX), is a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat cancer and related diseases in areas of high unmet need. The Company’s subsidiary Theriva Biologics, S.L. , has been developing a new oncolytic adenovirus platform designed for intravenous (IV), intravitreal and antitumoral delivery to trigger tumor cell death, improve access of co-administered cancer therapies to the tumor, and promote a robust and sustained anti-tumor response by the patient’s immune system.

Exhibit 99.2

• SYN-004 is an orally administered, β-lactamase enzyme designed to preserve the intestinal microbiome in patients receiving IV β-lactam antibiotics. • A previous study among patients with lower respiratory tract infections receiving ceftriaxone plus SYN-004 vs. placebo found decreased risk of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) among the SYN-004 group.1 • Patients who received SYN-004 also had fewer alterations to the gut microbiome and resistome, including reductions in the frequency of β-lactamase and vancomycin resistance genes.2 • Published data suggest improved outcomes among HCT recipients with a healthier microbiome at engraftment, including less GVHD and improved survival • SYN-004 may improve outcomes after HCT through microbiome preservation during IV β-lactam antibiotic administration. • This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and potential absorption of SYN-004 in HCT recipients. • Interim blinded analyses after the MER cohort suggest SYN-004 is well tolerated in HCT patients. • SYN-004 detection was uncommon by ECL. • Functional drug was not detected in blood; positive ECL may represent absorption of inactive SYN-004 fragments. • BSIs were common among HCT patients (47%); all but 1 BSI were the precipitating event for MER initiation. • The BSI that occurred after MER initiation was caused by a methicillin resistant S. epidermidis, resistant to MER. • This study is currently enrolling in the piperacillin-tazobactam cohort. • Adults undergoing allogeneic HCT with myeloablative conditioning • Preserved organ function and no known antibiotic allergy • Phase 1b/2a, triple-blinded, randomized controlled trial • Randomized 2 (SYN-004) : 1 (placebo) • 3 antibiotic cohorts: meropenem (MER), piperacillin-tazobactam, and cefepime • Cohort 1 MER was used for neutropenic fever coverage. • Study drug was started on HCT day +1 and continued until 72h after MER discontinuation. • Figure 1 provides an overview of study activities. • Schema will be the same for the PIP/TAZO and cefepime study arms. • Target enrollment per cohort = 12 participants completing at least two antibiotic PK blood draw periods. • Primary outcomes: assess potential SYN-004 systemic absorption via plasma levels; assess effects of SYN-004 on systemic antibiotic concentrations; assess incidence of BSIs and bacterial intestinal infections while receiving SYN-004; assess tolerability and grade 3 or 4 adverse events; and assess overall survival at 30 days after study drug dosing completed. Theriva Biologics, Inc. (formerly Synthetic Biologics, Inc.) • 19 patients started study drug; 12 had at least two MER PK blood draws and were considered evaluable (Table 1). • A total of 13 SAEs occurred among 10 patients (Table 2). • None were found to be related to study drug or study procedures. • 9/19 (47%) developed a BSI while on study drug (Table 3). • 8 BSIs were the precipitating event for MER initiation. • 1 patient developed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis BSI while receiving MER.
