The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of vonoprazan 20 mg once daily (QD) compared to placebo QD in the number of participants with a peak eosinophilic histologic response \<15 eosinophils per high-power field (eos/hpf) after 12 weeks of therapy.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Phathom Pharmaceuticals (PHAT) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company D (40/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
