Its efficacy, demonstrated in clinical trials, surpasses that of traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), showcasing strong healing rates and durable results.
In addition to treating GERD, Phathom is developing vonoprazan for use in combination with antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. VOQUEZNA® TRIPLE PAK® and VOQUEZNA® DUAL PAK® are expected to be commercially available soon, providing comprehensive treatment regimens co-packaged with antibiotics.
Phathom Pharmaceuticals is actively engaged in several key initiatives and collaborations. Recent milestones include the U.S. commercial availability of VOQUEZNA, the completion of Phase 3 trials for Non-Erosive GERD, and the amendment of a term loan facility enhancing financial flexibility. Their innovative approach and dedicated national sales force have driven significant market penetration, with VOQUEZNA now estimated to cover 60 million lives through partnerships with major pharmacy benefit managers.
Phathom is committed to addressing unmet medical needs by offering co-pay assistance programs to ensure accessibility and affordability for patients. They continue to explore new treatment options and expand the indications for vonoprazan through ongoing research and development efforts.
