ERIN’S STORY:
EROSIVE ESOPHAGITIS
Erin healed her Erosive Esophagitis with VOQUEZNA.
Individual results will vary. Erin was compensated by Phathom for sharing her experience with VOQUEZNA.
VOQUEZNA (vonoprazan) is a prescription medicine for adults, used for 8 weeks to heal acid-related damage to the lining of the esophagus (called Erosive Esophagitis) and relieve heartburn as well as used for up to 6 months for the maintenance of healing and relief of related heartburn. It is not known if VOQUEZNA is safe and effective in children.
Erin’s Erosive Esophagitis story
“My name is Erin, and I grew up in Colorado, born and raised there, and now I live in Austin, Texas. VOQUEZNA helped treat my Erosive Esophagitis.”
Erin, Real Patient with Erosive Esophagitis
Individual results will vary. Erin was compensated by Phathom for sharing her experience with VOQUEZNA.
“I co-host a podcast with my sister; it is an incredible heart project that we do together, really honors the life and legacy of our mom, and it's just a way for us to not only share our own story, but then also hold space for other people to share their stories. It's an incredible project.
I became aware that something was wrong really in my 20s. I started having reflux-related symptoms in my 20s. My symptoms got worse, and I was able to manage them really effectively with over-the-counter medications.
I experienced a pretty significant health incident that prompted me to go see my doctor, my primary care physician.
When I went to see him, I expressed that I had also been experiencing chronic heartburn. It seemed to be happening more frequently and regularly. And so that was when he prescribed my first PPI.
When he did that and I started taking it, it really helped control my symptoms at first. It worked pretty well—until it didn't.
At my last endoscopy, I was diagnosed with grade D Erosive Esophagitis.
The symptoms that I really experienced consistently were just the acid reflux, the burning, just the constant feeling like acid was coming into my esophagus, and just the pain. Without seeing what it looked like from the inside, I just imagined that it was inflamed, and it was just painful. I mean, I just experienced chronic heartburn.
I was not sleeping well at night, waking up with all of the breakthrough heartburn, and so I never really felt well-rested, which affected, you know, my daytime just functioning and performance at work and all of that and trying to be a mom and trying to work and trying to live my life and just wasn't really well-rested.
I first heard about VOQUEZNA from my GI doctor. And so he explained to me that it worked a little bit differently than the standard medications that I had been taking, that it worked differently than PPIs that I had been on, that it blocked acid in a different way.
I was shocked at how well VOQUEZNA controlled my chronic heartburn.”
Individual results will vary.
In a clinical study, heartburn relief was measured in patients with Erosive GERD during two treatment phases, a 2-month healing phase and a 6-month maintenance treatment phase. During the healing phase, an average of 67% of days spent on VOQUEZNA 20 mg were heartburn free for 24 hours (compared to 64% of days on lansoprazole 30 mg). During the maintenance phase, an average of 81% of days spent on VOQUEZNA 10 mg were heartburn free for 24 hours (compared to 79% of days on lansoprazole 15 mg).
“Honestly, this has been the first time that it's not something that I've had to learn how to manage every single day.
I think that my condition was concerning to a lot of my family members, you know, who were watching me struggle on a daily basis and really deal with so many of the symptoms that I was dealing with.
But now, you know, experiencing what I've experienced and, having so much control over my symptoms, my family has seen that, my loved ones have seen that.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
VOQUEZNA is associated with certain serious side effects. Do not take VOQUEZNA if you are allergic to it or if you take a medicine containing rilpivirine.
Please see additional Important Safety Information later in this video.
“My experience with actually obtaining VOQUEZNA and having access to it is a big part of my story.
My pharmacy actually called to make sure that I wanted it filled because my insurance had denied it, and they were calling to make sure that I wanted it filled because it was going to be pretty expensive.
So I was thankful for that phone call, for them to give me an upfront price. It was unfortunately very far out of my budget. And so I called my doctor's office to see what my options were. The nurse that I spoke to told me that they had another patient who took this medication, who received it from an online pharmacy, and that she was gonna do some digging and then circle back with me.
She did that. Within 10 minutes, I had a text message to set up an account with BlinkRx. And Blink had a cash pay option for me outside of insurance coverage that made the medication very affordable to me, and they ship it directly to my door.”

This is just one patient's experience.
“You know, I tell anybody that I can who is experiencing the same symptoms that I was that I want them to at least try VOQUEZNA, to ask their doctor about it. I know that it may not be the right medication for everybody, but I believe that everybody deserves to know that this exists.”

JUDY’S STORY:
HEARTBURN DUE TO NON-EROSIVE GERD
Judy experienced relief of her heartburn with VOQUEZNA.
Individual results will vary. Judy was compensated by Phathom for sharing her
experience with VOQUEZNA.
VOQUEZNA (vonoprazan) is a prescription medicine used for 4 weeks for heartburn relief in adults with Non-Erosive GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). It is not known if VOQUEZNA is safe and effective in children.
Judy’s Non-Erosive GERD story
“Hi, I'm Judy, and VOQUEZNA helped treat my GERD.”
Judy, Real Patient with Non-Erosive GERD
Individual results will vary. Judy was compensated by Phathom for sharing her experience with VOQUEZNA.
“I grew up in rural north Georgia. We were very, very poor and never went to the doctor unless something was bleeding or cut off. So I learned to just deal with any kind of pain or uncomfort. I think that prepared me for what was to come with suffering with GERD.
My husband and I have a beautiful home on a small lake and 14 acres of property, and it's just a very relaxed, good life.
One of the things that we love to do is invite the entire family over and have a big meal every other Thursday night. It's a family event that we like to continue. It keeps the family close.
I became aware of my issues in my early 20s, actually. I was at that time, a single mother. I was raising my child and working, so I started to suffer from heartburn all the time. I would wake up during the night.
I would sit on the sofa and take pillows and prop them up around me so that I didn't slide down during the night.
Of course, you wanna go out with your friends and eat and go to the lake and experience life, but I would pass on a lot of those experiences just because I didn't feel well or I was suffering from heartburn at the time.
It gradually got worse and worse as I entered my 30s and then into my 40s. I suffered with it for probably 40 some odd years.
I finally got to the point where I spoke to my doctor about my issues and he started a treatment plan. So I tried many different avenues to address the GERD and the heartburn, and each time it would work for a little while and then the symptoms would return, and I would have to keep antacids along everywhere I went.
I would keep them at work, in my car, at home, and use those to supplement whatever treatment I was taking at the time.
My husband called my daughter, who works in GI, and told her... He said, "Kayla, you've got to fix your mom. You fix everyone else, so you've got to help her." Kayla had just been approached by a representative from VOQUEZNA.
I decided to do a little research, so I went to VOQUEZNA.com and read a little bit about the medication and how it worked.
When I first began taking VOQUEZNA, I noticed my symptoms began to get better. I rarely felt the heartburn and the acid. I began to feel better within the first few days.”
In a clinical study of patients with Non-Erosive GERD, heartburn relief was measured over 4 weeks of treatment. During the 4-week clinical trial, an average of 45% of days spent on VOQUEZNA 10 mg were heartburn free for 24 hours (compared to 28% of days on placebo).
“I went back to inviting the family over for big dinners.”

“It was a very easy process for me to obtain the VOQUEZNA. The insurance person at the doctor's office got it approved through my insurance. She applied for a coupon to help with the co-pay, and they ordered it through BlinkRx, an online pharmacy, and it just began coming in the mail.”
Scan the code for more details on the range of savings options available.
This is just one patient's experience.
“When I reflect on my journey with GERD, I wish that I had found VOQUEZNA sooner. I know a lot of people who are suffering from the symptoms that I had, and I ask them to try VOQUEZNA. I tell them to speak to their doctor and see if it's appropriate for them.
I have learned to be my own advocate, to speak up and let my doctor know when I am not getting better, and try to find answers, to research and ask and advocate for myself because that's what I had to do. And I'm so glad that I discovered VOQUEZNA.”

CARSON’S STORY: HEARTBURN RELATED TO
NON-EROSIVE GERD
Carson, a patient in the clinical trials, found heartburn relief with VOQUEZNA.
Individual results may vary. The patient was compensated by Phathom for his time sharing his individual experience in the trial.
Carson’s Story: Heartburn Related to Non-Erosive GERD
Carson, an avid cycler and improv actor, began to experience heartburn related to Non-Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in 2022. He noticed heartburn that became increasingly irritating. Eventually, Carson became concerned and was referred to a gastroenterologist.

My heartburn became more severe, so I made an appointment with a
gastroenterologist who diagnosed me with heartburn related to Non-Erosive GERD.
After discussing treatment options with his doctor, Carson was prescribed a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). He also tried cutting out acidic foods to control his heartburn. But unfortunately, his heartburn persisted. After trying different PPIs and over-the-counter antacids with little relief, Carson knew it was time for a different treatment.

I was looking for a different treatment option, and my doctor suggested I sign up for the VOQUEZNA clinical trial.
Carson was enrolled in the VOQUEZNA clinical trial for patients with heartburn related to Non-Erosive GERD, and over time his heartburn began to lessen. These days, Carson is looking ahead and hopes to keep pedaling into the future with the wind at his back.

I’m happy to report that, thanks to VOQUEZNA, my heartburn no longer
takes the center stage in my life.
KEVIN’S STORY:
EROSIVE ESOPHAGITIS
Kevin, a patient in the clinical trials, healed his EE with VOQUEZNA.
Individual results may vary. The patient was compensated by Phathom for his time sharing his individual experience in the trial.
Kevin’s Erosive Esophagitis story
Kevin
Age: 33
Living with heartburn for years.
Later diagnosed with Erosive Esophagitis (EE).
VOQUEZNA is a prescription medicine for adults, used to heal acid-related damage to the lining of the esophagus (called Erosive Esophagitis) and relieve related heartburn as well as for the maintenance of healing and relief of related heartburn.
‘‘I’m Kevin, I’m 33 years old. I’m a woodshop teacher in a junior high school.
So it first started when I was in college—I don’t know, 18, 19, 20-ish, around there. It started out with just kind of a pain in my throat and then steadily got worse until it was to the point where I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I didn’t realize what I was experiencing could be Erosive Esophagitis. Then I heard about the VOQUEZNA clinical trial.’’
Hear more from Kevin next
Kevin took an investigational treatment that was later approved as VOQUEZNA® (vonoprazan) tablets to treat all grades of Erosive Esophagitis as part of the pHalconEE Phase 3 clinical trial.
VOQUEZNA® (vonoprazan) tablets was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on November 1, 2023 for the treatment of Erosive Esophagitis in adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not take VOQUEZNA if you:
- are allergic to vonoprazan or any of the other ingredients in VOQUEZNA. Allergic reaction symptoms may include trouble breathing, rash, itching and swelling of your face, lips, tongue or throat.
- are taking a medicine that contains rilpivirine (EDURANT, COMPLERA, JULUCA, ODEFSEY) used to treat HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
Please see additional Important Safety Information later in this video.
The patient was compensated by Phathom for his time sharing his individual experience in the trial. Individual results vary and are not generalizable across the entire study population.
“I signed up for a clinical trial, and one of the first things they did was an endoscopy that confirmed I had Erosive Esophagitis.
I was pretty happy finding out about a trial that I could participate in for a drug that wasn’t on the market.
The first two weeks, I was on a 20-milligram dose; then I went for another endoscopy where they saw my erosions were healed. At that point, I started taking a 10-milligram dose of VOQUEZNA. I was on that lower dose for the rest of the trial.
At the end of the trial, they gave me another endoscopy and found I had maintained healing.
I would definitely say to anyone that’s suffering from Erosive Esophagitis: Honestly, it worked really well for me. I even suggested to my brother, who also has EE, that he should try to get into the clinical study.
If you have Erosive Esophagitis, consider asking your doctor if VOQUEZNA is right for you.”
