In other recent news, Phathom Pharmaceuticals has seen significant developments in its revenue and drug exclusivity. The company’s third-quarter earnings revealed a notable revenue outperformance, primarily driven by its drug Voquezna. The net revenue of $16.4 million for Voquezna exceeded both analysts’ and consensus estimates. This boost was linked to robust growth in Erosive Esophagitis treatment and increased demand following the expansion of Voquezna’s label to include Non-Erosive Reflux Disease.
Further, Phathom Pharmaceuticals has filed a Citizen’s Petition with the FDA, striving for alignment of the exclusivity period for its VOQUEZNA tablets with that of the VOQUEZNA Dual and Triple Pak, which currently stands at 10 years. This move is based on advice from legal and regulatory consultants who suggest that VOQUEZNA tablets should receive the same 10-year exclusivity as the VOQUEZNA Paks.
