Tailwinds

  • NDA submission for H. pylori in the second half of 2021.
  • Topline results for PHALCON-EE in the second half of 2021.
  • Enrollment completion of Phase 2 NERD trial in the second half of 2021.

Headwinds

  • Potential additional delays in the commencement, enrollment and completion of clinical trials due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors outside of Phathom’s control
  • Patients already enrolled in PHALCON-EE and PHALCON-HP may not complete the clinical trials or public health conditions and governmental restrictions may lead Phathom to stop such trials all together, which may adversely impact its trial results and development plans
  • Phathom’s dependence on third parties in connection with product manufacturing, research and preclinical and clinical testing
  • Unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of vonoprazan that may limit its development, regulatory approval and/or commercialization, or may result in recalls or product liability claims
  • Phathom’s ability to maintain undisrupted business operations due to the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, including delaying or otherwise disrupting its clinical trials, manufacturing and supply chain
