Phathom Pharmaceuticals said the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved Voquezna to treat a type of esophagus
inflammation.
The commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company said the FDA
approved the novel potassium-competitive acid blocker as a new
treatment for adults dealing with erosive esophagitis.
The approval is based on positive results from the phase 3
Phalcon-EE study, which enrolled over 1,000 patients in the U.S.
and Europe.
Voqezna is expected to be available in the U.S. in December, the
company said.
The FDA approval entitles Phathom Pharmaceuticals to receive a
$175 million payment, which will fund the commercial launch.
