Forward guidance

Phathom anticipates generating stability data to support the proposed shelf life of vonoprazan and approval of its erosive esophagitis NDA. They also anticipate product launches in H. pylori and erosive esophagitis and believe they will have sufficient capital to fund operations through 2024.

Tailwinds

  • Expectations of generating stability data necessary to support the proposed shelf life of vonoprazan.
  • Potential approval of its erosive esophagitis NDA and post approval supplements for its H. pylori NDAs.
  • Anticipated product launches in H. pylori and erosive esophagitis.
  • Potential of vonoprazan to provide patients with a rapid relief agent to treat non-erosive GERD.
  • Belief that Phathom will have sufficient capital to fund operations through 2024.

Headwinds

  • Phathom may be unable to generate the required data to meet the acceptable intake of its nitrosamine impurity.
  • The FDA may disagree that the existing safety and efficacy data, together with additional data, is sufficient to approve the erosive esophagitis NDA or supplements to the H. pylori NDAs.
  • 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 access additional capital under its term loan facility and royalty interest finance agreements is subject to certain conditions.
  • Phathom’s ability to comply with its license agreement with Takeda.
