Forward Guidance

Phathom anticipates potential approval of its Erosive GERD NDA and prior approval supplements for its H. pylori convenience pack NDAs, and product launches in H. pylori and Erosive GERD. A regulatory submission for Non-Erosive GERD is expected, and the company believes it has sufficient capital to fund operations through the end of 2025.

Positive Outlook

  • Potential approval of Erosive GERD NDA.
  • Potential approval of H. pylori convenience pack NDAs.
  • Anticipated product launches in H. pylori and Erosive GERD.
  • Potential regulatory submission for Non-Erosive GERD.
  • Sufficient capital to fund operations through the end of 2025.

Challenges Ahead

  • Inability to generate required data to meet acceptable nitrosamine impurity intake.
  • Inability to reduce impurity to an acceptable level throughout the shelf life of the product.
  • FDA may not accept H. pylori convenience pack supplements for review.
  • Risks associated with product manufacturing or formulation changes.
  • FDA may disagree that existing data is sufficient for approval.
