Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
  A. Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BiomX Israel, APT and RondinX Ltd., through the date of the voluntary liquidation of RondinX Ltd. on December 3, 2025. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
  B. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reported years. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, business combination, warrants fair value revaluation and estimates used in the IPR&D impairment assessment for calculating the fair value of the Company’s assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.

Functional currency and foreign currency translation
  C. Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) since the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company has operated and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Transactions and balances originally denominated USD are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-USD currencies are translated into USDs using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-USD transactions and other items in the consolidated statements of operations (indicated below), the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions – exchange rates at transaction dates or average exchange rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation and amortization) – historical exchange rates. Currency transaction gains and losses are presented in financial expense (income), net as appropriate.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
  D. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

The Company considers cash equivalents to be all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include money market funds, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Restricted cash consists of bank guarantee due to rental agreement and as of December 31, 2024, funds that were contractually restricted to a credit line for outstanding short-term foreign exchange contracts. The Company has presented restricted cash separately from cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company includes its restricted bank deposits in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Concentrations of credit risk
  E. Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. These amounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits are invested in major banks in the U.S. and Israel. Management believes that the credit risk with respect to the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is low. Refer to note 2J.

Property and equipment
  F. Property and equipment

Property and equipment are presented at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or terms of the related leases, as follows:

   Estimated Useful Lives
    
Laboratory equipment  7 years
Computers and software  3 years
Equipment and furniture  15 years
Leasehold improvements 
Shorter of lease term or useful life
Other long-lived asset impairment
  G. Other long-lived asset impairment

In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If so indicated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. See Note 11 for information regarding impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Income taxes
  H. Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

The Company is subject to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a more likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. On a yearly basis, the Company undergoes a process to evaluate whether income tax accruals are in accordance with ASC 740 guidance on uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company presents unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward that are available, under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction, to offset any additional income taxes that would result from the settlement of a tax position.

Derivative activity
  I. Derivative activity

The Company uses foreign exchange contracts (option and forward contracts) to hedge cash flows from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, the Company recognizes gains or losses that offset the revaluation of the cash flows also recorded under financial expenses (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes these derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. Derivatives in a gain position are reported in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and derivatives in a loss position are recorded as other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding short-term foreign exchange contracts for the exchange of USD to NIS in the amount of approximately $2,413 with a fair value asset of $19.

Fair value of financial instruments
  J. Fair value of financial instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices in non-active markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, observable inputs other than quoted prices, and inputs that are not directly observable but are corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

There were no changes in the fair value hierarchy levelling during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

   December 31, 2025 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value 
Assets:

    2,364    2,364 

Financial instruments with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current assets, trade accounts payable and other current liabilities, due to their short-term nature.

1.The Company determined the fair value of the liabilities for the Warrants using the Black-Scholes model, a Level 3 measurement, within the fair value hierarchy.

The main assumptions used are as follows:

   December 31,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
Underlying value of Common Stock ($)   1.87      13.87 
Exercise price ($)   17.68-43.91    43.91 
Expected volatility (%)   126.46-141.48    120.1 
Expected terms (years)   0.52-4.31    1.5 
Risk-free interest rate (%)   3.59-3.66    4.1 

The changes in the fair value of the Company’s Warrants which are measured as Level 3 and on a recurring basis are as follows:

   Year ended
December 31,
2025
   Year ended
December 31,
2024
 
Beginning balance   2,287    
-
 
Issuance of Private Placement Warrants   
-
    28,745 
Issuance of Common Warrants   4,531    
-
 
Repricing of warrants under the Inducement Letter Agreements (*)   3,300    
-
 
Common Warrants exercise   (1)   
-
 
Change in fair value   (9,411)   (26,458)
Ending balance   706    2,287 
(*) Repricing and exercise of the warrants under the Inducement Letter Agreements, which was charged to profit and loss. See Note 12A for further information.
2.The Company determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in consolidated statements of operations. Following BiomX Israel’s filing for the commencement of insolvency proceedings, the Company concluded that the likelihood of achieving the milestones is remote; therefore, the fair value of the contingent consideration is zero. See note 8E for further information.
3.As of December 31, 2025, the IPR&D and Property and equipment were assessed for impairment and measured at fair value, as described in Note 11 below.
Defined contribution plans
  K. Defined contribution plans

Under Israeli employment laws, employees of BiomX Israel are included under Section 14 of the Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (“Section 14”) for a portion of their salaries. Pursuant to Section 14, these employees are entitled to monthly deposits made by the Company on their behalf with insurance companies.

Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments (under the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963) with respect of those employees. The aforementioned deposits are not recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet, and there is no liability recorded as the Company does not have a future obligation to make any additional payments. The Company’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to the consolidated statements of operations as and when the services are received from the Company’s employees. Total expenses with respect to these contributions were $354 and $389 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For U.S. employees the Company has a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees of BiomX Inc in the U.S. who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis.

The Company has not elected to match any of the employees’ deferral. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company did not record any expenses for 401(k) match contributions.

Financial instruments
  L. Financial instruments

When the Company issues freestanding instruments, it first analyzes the provisions of ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” (“ASC 480”) in order to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in each period. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the provisions of ASC 815-10 in order to determine whether the instrument is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and qualifies for classification within equity.

When the Company issues preferred shares, it first considers the provisions of ASC 480, in order to determine whether the preferred shares should be classified as a liability. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the instrument’s characteristics in order to determine whether it should be classified within temporary equity (mezzanine) or within permanent equity in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480-10-S99. The Company reassesses the classification of a contract over its own equity under the guidance above at each balance sheet date. If classification changes as a result of events during the reporting period, the Company reclassifies the contract as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

When the Company issues warrants, it first considers the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) in order to determine whether the warrants should be classified as equity. Equity classification is permitted when warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares and meet the classification requirements for stockholders’ equity classification under ASC 815-40. If the warrants are not within the scope of ASC 815-40, the Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Research and development expenses, net
  M. Research and development expenses, net

Research and development costs are charged to statements of operations as incurred. Royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) and grants from the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”) are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs incurred and applied as a deduction from research and development expenses.

Basic and diluted loss per share
  N. Basic and diluted loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year, fully vested warrants with no exercise price for the Company’s Common Stock and fully vested Pre-Funded Warrants for the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.019 per share, as the Company considers these shares to be exercised for little to no additional consideration. The calculation excludes shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock had been issued, using the treasury stock method, in accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share.”

The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between shares of Common Stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considers its Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares to be participating securities as the holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.

Stock compensation plans
  O. Stock compensation plans

The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Stock-Based Payment,” (“ASC 718-10”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans based on estimated fair values.

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards granted to employees and non-employees on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of operations using the graded vesting method. The Company accounts for stock-based payment awards classified as equity awards. The Company recognizes stock-based award forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate by applying a forfeiture rate.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted as equity awards using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). The Company uses an average of its historical stock price volatility. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated for all stock option grants using the “simplified” method. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the options granted and the results of operations of the Company.

Leases
  P. Leases

Under Accounting Standards Update, “Leases” (“ASC 842”), the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes a liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, and concurrently recognizes a right-of-use asset at the same amount of the liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. The subsequent measurement depends on whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. During the reporting periods, the Company has only operating leases. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expenses for operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has made a policy election not to capitalize leases with a term of 12 months or less.

In accordance with ASC 360-10, management reviews operating lease assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If so indicated, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.

For leased properties where the Company plans to cease use of the property, as well as have the intent and ability to sublease the property, the Company tests the right-of-use asset for impairment to determine if a loss has occurred. The carrying value of the right-of-use asset is adjusted based on the net present value of the future cash flows expected from a sublease agreement over the remaining lease term. As of December 31, 2025, the Company terminated all its remaining lease agreements and, accordingly, no longer maintains any leased properties.

Business Combination
  Q. Business Combination

The Company allocates the fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed in the acquired business is recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the consideration transferred included equity securities. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The cumulative impact of revisions during the measurement period is recognized in the reporting period in which the revisions are identified. The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the respective dates of acquisition.

Intangible Assets
  R. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets

IPR&D assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, on the last day of the third quarter of the fiscal year or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. To conduct impairment tests of IPR&D, the fair value of the IPR&D asset is compared to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company records an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value of the IPR&D asset exceeds its fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded IPR&D impairment in amount of $11,842 and $3,237, respectively. See Note 11 for further information.

New accounting pronouncements
  S. New accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring its fair value. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. ASU 2022-03 also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The Company adopted ASU 2022-03 on January 1, 2025 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company implemented the new income tax disclosures retrospectively. The implementation of ASU 2023-09 affected disclosures only and had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. See Note 16 Income Taxes.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income— Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 “Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract”. The ASU excludes from the derivative accounting certain non-exchange-traded contracts with contracts with underlying that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Further, the ASU clarifies that an entity should apply the guidance in ASC 606 to a contract with stock-based noncash consideration. The guidance in other Topics (such as ASC 815 or ASC 321) does not apply to such consideration unless and until the entity’s right to receive or retain the consideration is unconditional. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment can be applied either prospectively to new contracts entered into on or after the date of adoption or on a modified retrospective basis through cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the ASU on its contracts.
