PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

B.1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES

The Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA) of 2006 established the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and was reauthorized under the PAHPA of 2013 and again in 2019 under the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act (PAHPAIA), Public Law No. 116-22, to support development and acquisition of medical countermeasure (MCMs) to prevent or treat the medical consequences of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats, pandemic influenza (PI), and emerging infectious diseases (EID). These MCMs include vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and medical devices. Additionally, BARDA is entrusted to foster innovation of technologies that enable better manufacturing, testing, and utilization of these medical countermeasures.

ContraFect Corporation (referred to as “ContraFect”) is developing exebacase (EXE; CF-301), a protein based direct lytic agent (DLA) which is the first member of a new class of antibacterials called lysins. Exebacase is a GMP-manufactured, purified, recombinant protein therapeutic with a novel mechanism of action (MOA) against antibiotic resistant S. aureus bacteremia (SAB), a serious, life-threating and chronically neglected disease for which the few currently available antibiotic treatment options are suboptimal. The microbiologic attributes and MOA of exebacase strongly differentiate it from traditional antibiotics. These defining properties of exebacase as well as its synergy with conventional antibiotics underpin the use of clinical studies designed to show superiority of exebacase in combination with standard of care relative to standard of care alone. Exebacase has been evaluated in Phase 1 and 2 clinical studies and granted Fast Track designation in 2015 and Breakthrough Therapy designation in 2020 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The U.S. government is interested in exebacase due to its potential to meet an unmet medical need including the need for innovative antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that complicate the U.S. government’s (USG’s) response to public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The objective of this cost-share contract is to advance the development of exebacase (CF-301) as a new anti-staphylococcal treatment modality (direct lytic agent). Exebacase will be developed to be used in addition to standard of care antibiotics to combat methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and improve clinical response rates for S. aureus bacteremia and right-sided infective endocarditis (R-IE). The base period-of-performance (CLIN 1) will comprise conduct of a Phase 3 clinical trial, CMC activities including manufacturing validation, and non-clinical studies. In addition to the base, the proposed contract also includes multiple contract options that may be activated by bilateral modification to this contract that will support completing the Phase 3 clinical trial, non-clinical studies, microbiology studies, a pediatric study, manufacturing development (CMC and reformulation), and regulatory (BLA submission and approval), quality assurance, management, and administrative activities. The R&D effort for exebacase will progress in specific stages that cover the base performance period and five option periods, which are discrete work segments. CLINs 0001 through 0005 are cost shared between the U.S. government (USG) and ContraFect and CLIN 0006 is to be fully funded by the USG.

The Contractor must achieve a defined end-product in each discrete work segment, as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW) and Milestones in this contract, before the Government will consider exercising any of the follow-on options. The Contractor’s success in completing the required tasks under each work segment must be demonstrated through the Deliverables specified under Section F of this contract. The GO/NO-GO Contract Milestones and Decision Gates will constitute the basis for the Government’s decision, at its sole discretion, to exercise any follow-on option segment(s). The base and option period segments under Contract Line Item (CLIN) 0001, CLIN 0002, CLIN 0003, CLIN 0004, CLIN 0005 and CLIN 0006 are event driven work segments rather than time driven CLINs. The funds for each independent, non-severable discrete work segment (requirement), regardless of duration, shall only be used for the scope of work covered in each discrete work segment (i.e., the base period work segment and each option work segment). The periods of performance listed under each of the CLINs under Article B.2 and Article B.3 below are estimated time periods. Those individual time periods may be extended to complete the tasks required under each work segment. It is possible that more than one option period (requirement), may be awarded at one time and that individual CLINs may overlap and/or proceed concurrently.

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor, depending upon the nature of the work, is responsible for following the provisions below in conducting its own work under this contract. The Contractor also is responsible for incorporating these provisions into any subcontract awarded, if applicable to the specific nature of the work in the subcontract. Accordingly, those provisions shall be flowed-down as applicable to subcontracts funded by the Government and agreements entered into after contract award.

H.1 CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL TERMS OF AWARD

BARDA has a responsibility to obtain documentation concerning mechanisms and procedures that are in place to protect the safety of participants and animals in BARDA funded clinical trials and non-clinical studies. Therefore, the Contractor shall develop a protocol for each clinical trial and non-clinical study funded under this contract and submit all such protocols and protocol amendments to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for evaluation and comment.

Approval by the COR is required before work under a protocol may begin. The COR comments will be forwarded to the Contractor within ten (10) business days. The Contractor must address, in writing, all concerns (e.g. study design, safety, regulatory, ethical, and conflict of interest) noted by the COR.

If the draft protocols are to be submitted to the FDA, the COR review shall occur before submission, pursuant to the terms set forth by Section F.2 of this contract. The Contractor shall revise their protocols to address BARDA’s concerns and recommendations prior to FDA submission. The Contractor must provide BARDA with a copy of FDA submissions, within the time frame set forth by Section F.2 of this contract.

Execution of clinical and non-clinical studies occurring after contract award and funded by the Government requires written authorization from the Government. The Government will provide written authorization to the Contractor upon either 1) receiving documentation in which all COR comments have been satisfactorily addressed; or 2) receiving documentation that the FDA has reviewed and commented on the protocol.

The Government shall have rights to all protocols developed with USG funding under the contract, data resulting from execution of these protocols, and final reports funded by BARDA under this contract as set forth in FAR clauses 52.227-14 and 52.227-14 Alt. II of this contract. The Government reserves the right, subject to the provisions of FAR 52.227-14, FAR 52.227-14 Alt II and HHSAR 352.224-71, to request that the Contractor provide any contract deliverable in a non-proprietary form to ensure the Government has the ability to review and distribute the deliverables as the Government deems necessary except that the Government will not release or otherwise publicly disclose any protocol, data resulting from execution of these protocols or final reports prior to its initial release and public disclosure by Contractor, and all proprietary and confidential marking of shared deliverables shall be maintained and not obscured or excerpted. Important information regarding performing human subject research is available at https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/clinical-research.

Any updates to technical reports are to be addressed in the Monthly and Annual Progress Reports. The Contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer’s Representative or designee in writing and via electronic communication in a timely manner of any issues potentially affecting contract performance.

40

Before award and then with the annual progress report, the Contractor must submit to BARDA a copy of the current Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) documentation of continuing review and approval and the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) federal wide assurance number for the institution or site.

If other institutions are involved in the research (e.g., a multicenter trial or study), each institution’s IACUC must review and approve the protocol.

They must also provide BARDA initial and annual documentation of continuing review and approval and federal wide assurance number.

The Contractor must ensure that the application, as well as all protocols, are reviewed by the performing institution’s IACUC.

To help ensure the safety of animals used in BARDA-funded studies, the Contractor must provide BARDA copies of documents related to all major changes in the status of ongoing protocols, including the following:

Contractor must notify BARDA of any of the above changes within five (5) working days from the time the Contractor becomes aware of such changes by email or fax, followed by a letter signed by the institutional business official, detailing notification of the change of status to the local IACUC and a copy of any responses from the IACUC.

41

If a non-clinical protocol has been reviewed by an institutional biosafety committee (IBC) or the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC), the Contractor must provide information about the initial and ongoing review and approval, if any. See the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules.

BARDA strongly recommends continued safety monitoring for all non-clinical studies of investigational drugs, devices, or biologics. FDA expects non-clinical studies to include safety in addition to efficacy. Awardee should consider evaluation of clinical relevant safety markers in the pivotal and non-pivotal, non-clinical studies. In preparation for clinical trials of licensed or not yet licensed products, it is imperative that BARDA-sponsored studies of any type measure the risk and safety parameters that are elicited and provide a safety profile from the studies for future human risk assessment.

A risk is minimal where the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the proposed research are not greater than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. For example, the risk of drawing a small amount of blood from a healthy subject for research purposes is no greater than the risk of doing so as part of a routine physical examination (45 CFR 46.102(i)).

BARDA will work with the Contractor on decisions regarding the type and extent of safety data accrual to be employed before the start of efficacy or safety studies.

The Contractor shall inform BARDA of any upcoming site visits and/or audits of CRO facilities funded under this effort. BARDA reserves the right to accompany the Contractor on site visits and/or audits of CRO’s as BARDA deems necessary.

BARDA is under the same policy-driven assurances as NIH in that it has a responsibility to ensure that mechanisms and procedures are in place to protect the safety and welfare of animals used in BARDA-funded non-clinical trials. Therefore, before study execution, the Contractor must provide the following (as applicable) for review and comment by BARDA:

42

Documentation of each of the above items shall be submitted to BARDA for evaluation and comment in conjunction with the protocol. Execution of non-clinical studies requires written authorization from BARDA in accordance with this section of the contract.

Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/InvestigatorsNeed2Know.pdf

USDA Animal Welfare Act:

https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/downloads/bluebook-ac-awa.pdf

These Clinical Terms of Award detail an agreement between the Government and the Contractor and apply to all grants and contracts which involve clinical research funded by the Government under this Agreement.

BARDA shall have rights to all protocols, data generated from the execution of protocols, and creation of final reports, funded by BARDA under this contract, as defined in Rights in Data Clause in FAR 52.227-14. BARDA reserves the right to request that the Contractor provide any contract deliverable to ensure BARDA has the ability to review and distribute the deliverables, as BARDA deems necessary except that BARDA will not release or otherwise publicly disclose any protocol, data resulting from execution of these protocols or final reports prior to its initial release and public disclosure by Contractor and all proprietary and confidential marking of shared deliverables shall be maintained and not obscured or excerpted.

43

Within 30 days of award and then with the annual progress report, the Contractor must submit to the COR a copy of the current IRB-or IEC-approved informed consent document, documentation of continuing review and approval and the OHRP federal wide assurance number for the institution or site.

If other institutions are involved in the research (e.g., a multicenter clinical trial or study), each institution’s IRB or IEC must review and approve the protocol or have formally accepted the review of a central IRB/IEC. They must also provide BARDA initial and annual documentation of continuing review and approval, including the current approved informed consent document or federal wide assurance number.

The Contractor must ensure that the application as well as all protocols are reviewed by their IRB or IEC or a formally recognized central IRB/IEC.

To help ensure the safety of participants enrolled in BARDA-funded studies, the Contractor must provide the COR copies of documents related to all major changes in the status of ongoing protocols, including the following:

The Contractor must notify the COR and CO of any of the above changes within five (5) working days by email or fax, followed by a letter signed by the institutional business official, detailing notification of the change of status to the local IRB and a copy of any responses from the IRB or IEC.

If a clinical protocol has been reviewed by an institutional biosafety committee (IBC) or the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC), the Contractor must provide information about the initial and ongoing review and approval, if any. See the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules.

44

BARDA strongly recommends independent safety monitoring for clinical trials of investigational drugs, devices, or biologics; clinical trial of licensed products; and clinical research of any type involving more than minimal risk to volunteers. Independent monitoring can take a variety of forms. Phase III clinical trials must be reviewed by an independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB); other trials may require DSMB oversight as well. The Contractor shall inform BARDA of any upcoming site visits and/or audits of CRO facilities funded under this effort. BARDA reserves the right to accompany the Contractor on site visits and/or audits of CROs as BARDA deems necessary.

A risk is considered minimal where the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the proposed research and not greater than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. For examples, the risk of drawing a small amount of blood from a healthy individual for research purposes is no greater than the risk of doing so as part of a routine physical examination (45 CFR 46.102I).

Final decisions regarding the type of monitoring to be used must be made jointly by BARDA and the Contractor before enrollment starts. Discussions with the responsible BARDA Project Officer regarding appropriate safety monitoring and approval of the final monitoring plan by BARDA must occur before patient enrollment begins and may include discussions about the appointment of one of the following.

When a monitor or monitoring board is organized, a description of it, its charter or operating procedures (including a proposed meeting schedule and plan for review of adverse events), and roster and curriculum vitae from all members must be submitted to and approved by the COR before enrollment starts. The Contractor will also ensure that the monitors and board members report any conflicts of interest and the Contractor will maintain a record of this. The Contractor will share conflict of interest reports with the CO and COR.

Additionally, the Contractor must submit written summaries of all reviews conducted by the monitoring group to BARDA within thirty (30) days of reviews or meetings.

45

Documentation to demonstrate that each of the above items are in place shall be submitted to the COR for evaluation and comment in conjunction with the protocol. Execution of clinical studies requires written authorization from the COR in accordance with this Section of this contract.

Consistent with federal regulations, clinical research projects involving the use of investigational therapeutics, vaccines, or other medical interventions (including licensed products and devices for a purpose other than that for which they were licensed) in humans under a research protocol must be performed under a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigational new drug (IND) or investigational device exemption (IDE).

Exceptions must be granted in writing by FDA. If the proposed clinical trial will be performed under an IND or IDE, the Contractor must provide BARDA with the name and institution of the IND or IDE sponsor, the date the IND or IDE was filed with FDA, the FDA IND or IDE number, any written comments from FDA, and the written responses to those comments.

Unless FDA notifies Contractor otherwise, The Contractor must wait thirty (30) calendar days from FDA receipt of an initial IND or IDE application before initiating a clinical trial.

The Contractor must notify BARDA if the FDA places the study on clinical hold and provide BARDA any written comments from FDA, written responses to the comments, and documentation in writing that the hold has been lifted. The Contractor must not use grant or contract funds during a clinical hold to fund clinical studies that are on hold. The Contractor must not enter into any new financial obligations related to clinical activities for the clinical trial on clinical hold.

46

Under an IND or IDE, the sponsor must provide FDA safety reports of serious adverse events. Under these Clinical Terms of Award, the Contractor must submit copies to the responsible Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) as follows:

A copy of any report of unexpected or life-threatening experience or death associated with the use of an IND drug, which must be reported to FDA by telephone or fax as soon as possible but no later than [***] after the IND sponsor’s receipt of the information, must be submitted to the COR within [***] of FDA notification.

A copy of any report of unexpected and serious adverse experience associated with use of an IND drug or any finding from tests in laboratory animals that suggests a significant risk for human subjects, which must be reported in writing to FDA as soon as possible but no later than [***] after the IND sponsor’s receipt of the information, must be submitted to the COR within [***] of FDA notification. For medical devices, adverse events should be reported under the MedWatch (MDR) program with reporting timelines of 5 days for serious adverse events or 30 days for reportable events.

A copy of any reports of unanticipated adverse device effect submitted to FDA must be submitted to the COR within [***] of FDA notification.

Final decisions regarding ongoing safety reporting requirements for research not performed under an IND or IDE must be made jointly by the COR and the Contractor.

BARDA endorses the sharing of final research data to serve health. This contract is expected to generate research data that must be shared with the public and other researchers.

BARDA recognizes that data sharing may be complicated or limited, in some cases, by institutional policies, local IRB rules, as well as local, state and Federal laws and regulations, including the Privacy Rule (see HHS-published documentation on the Health Information Privacy at https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html). The rights and privacy of people who participate in BARDA-funded research must be protected at all times; thus, data intended for broader use should be free of identifiers that would permit linkages to individual research participants and variables that could lead to deductive disclosure of the identity of individual subjects.

H.22. CONTINUED BAN ON FUNDING ABORTION AND CONTINUED BAN ON FUNDING OF HUMAN EMBRYO RESEARCH, HHSAR 352.270-13 (December 2015)

53

The term “human embryo or embryos” includes any organism, not protected as a human subject under 45 CFR part 46 as of the date of the enactment of this Act, that is derived by fertilization, parthenogenesis, cloning, or any other means from one or more human gametes of human diploid cells.

The Contractor shall not use any Federal funds for the cloning of human beings.

H.23. PUBLIC ACCESS TO ARCHIVED PUBLICATIONS RESULTING FROM ASPR FUNDED RESEARCH

All ASPR-funded investigators shall submit to the NIH National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) PubMed Central (PMC) an electronic version of the author’s final manuscript, upon acceptance for publication, of any peer-reviewed scientific publications resulting from research supported in whole or in part with Federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. ASPR defines the author’s final manuscript as the final version accepted for journal publication, and includes all modifications from the publishing peer review process. The PMC archive will preserve permanently these manuscripts for use by the public, health care providers, educators, scientists, and ASPR. The Policy directs electronic submissions to the NIH/NLM/PMC: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov.

H.24. INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING CONFLICTING INTERESTS OF INVESTIGATORS

The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 45 CFR Part 94, Responsible Prospective Contractors, which promotes objectivity in research by establishing standards to ensure that investigators (defined as the principal investigator and any other person who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research funded under BARDA contracts) will not be biased by any conflicting financial interest. 45 CFR Part 94 is available at the following Web site: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=6615ebad97db608b6c5d09ab42646afc&mc=true&node=pt45.1.94&rgn=div5

As required by 45 CFR Part 94, the Contractor shall, at a minimum:

54

If a conflict of interest is identified, the Contractor shall report to the Contracting Officer, the existence of the conflicting interest found. This report shall be made and the conflicting interest managed, reduced, or eliminated, at least on a temporary basis, within sixty (60) days of that identification.

If the failure of an investigator to comply with the conflict of interest policy has biased the design, conduct, or reporting of the BARDA-funded research, the Contractor must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of the corrective action taken or to be taken. The Contracting Officer will take appropriate action or refer the matter to the Contractor for further action, which may include directions to the Contractor on how to maintain appropriate objectivity in the funded research.

The Contracting Officer may at any time inquire into the Contractor’s procedures and actions regarding conflicts of interests in BARDA-funded research, including a review of all records pertinent to compliance with 45 CFR Part 94. The Contracting Officer may require submission of the records or review them on site. On the basis of this review, the Contracting Officer may decide that a particular conflict of interest will bias the objectivity of the BARDA-funded research to such an extent that further corrective action is needed or that the Contractor has not managed, reduced, or eliminated the conflict of interest. The issuance of a Stop Work Order by the Contracting Officer may be necessary until the matter is resolved.

If the Contracting Officer determines that BARDA-funded clinical research, whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment, has been designed, conducted, or reported by an investigator with a conflict of interest that was not disclosed or managed, the Contractor must require disclosure of the conflict of interest in each public presentation of the results of the research.
