Phathom Pharmaceuticals Announces Initiation of Registrational Phase 3 Study of VOQUEZNA® (vonoprazan) for As-Needed Treatment of Non-Erosive GERD

$PHATPress releaseSep 29, 2026, 8:00 AM ETRead the release

Phathom Pharmaceuticals initiated patient screening in pHalcon-NERD-302, a registrational Phase 3 study of as-needed VOQUEZNA (vonoprazan) 10 mg in adults with Non-Erosive GERD, with topline results expected in Q1 2028. The trial plans to enroll approximately 500 adults across roughly 80 U.S. sites, testing whether PRN dosing provides rapid, sustained heartburn relief versus placebo, building on positive Phase 2 results. A successful readout could support a label expansion for as-needed use in NERD, a regimen not currently approved for PPIs in the U.S., potentially broadening VOQUEZNA's addressable population of an estimated 15 million U.S.
