Phathom Pharmaceuticals clarifies no reduction in Frazier ownership

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:PHAT), which has seen its stock surge over 87% in the past six months according to InvestingPro data, announced today that an upcoming Schedule 13D filing by Frazier Life Sciences does not represent any reduction in Frazier’s ownership position in the company.

The biopharmaceutical firm explained that while the filing, expected later today, will show administrative changes to Frazier’s reporting approach, these modifications only affect how holdings are broken out between funds and persons. The company noted that differences in the treatment of warrants may reduce certain percentages in the updated filings.

"These differences are due solely to clarifying changes in Frazier’s reporting approach and not to any sale of shares," Phathom stated in its press release.

Phathom Pharmaceuticals focuses on developing and commercializing treatments for gastrointestinal diseases. The company has exclusive rights to vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) marketed in the United States under the brand names VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK.

The company’s products are used for various gastrointestinal conditions, including the relief of heartburn associated with Non-Erosive GERD in adults, healing and maintenance of Erosive GERD, and treatment of H. pylori infection.

The clarification comes as part of the company’s regular investor communications regarding significant ownership filings. With analyst price targets ranging from $12 to $29, the stock presents interesting potential for investors seeking exposure to the biotech sector.
