Item 1.

 

(a)       Name of Issuer: Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Issuer”).

 

(b)      Address of the Issuer’s Principal Executive Offices: 2150 E. Lake Cook Road, Suite 800, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089

 

Item 2.

 

(a)       Name of Person Filing: This joint statement on Schedule 13G is being filed by RA Capital Management, L.P. (“Capital”), Peter Kolchinsky, and Rajeev Shah. Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.” On October 25, 2019 RA Capital Management, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability corporation (the “Predecessor Adviser”), was the general partner of the RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”), which owns 3,115,458 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, and served as investment adviser for a separately managed account (the “Account”), which owns 531,188 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Dr. Kolchinsky was the manager of Capital. On November 1, 2019, the Predecessor Adviser was replaced as general partner of the Fund by RA Capital Healthcare Fund GP, LLC and was restructured to become Capital. The general partner of Capital is RA Capital Management GP, LLC, of which Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are the controlling persons. As the investment adviser to the Fund and the Account, Capital may be deemed a beneficial owner, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), of any securities of the Issuer owned by the Fund or the Account. The Fund has delegated to Capital the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of all securities held in the Fund’s portfolio, including the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reported herein.  Because the Fund has divested itself of voting and investment power over the reported securities and may not revoke that delegation on less than 61 days’ notice, the Fund disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and therefore disclaims any obligation to report ownership of the reported securities under Section 13(d) of the Act. As managers of Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah may be deemed beneficial owners, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Capital. Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, and Mr. Shah disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported in this Schedule 13G Statement (the “Statement”) other than for the purpose of determining their obligations under Section 13(d) of the Act, and the filing of the Statement shall not be deemed an admission that either Capital, Dr. Kolchinsky, or Mr. Shah is or was the beneficial owner of such securities for any other purpose.

 

(b)      Address of Principal Business Office: The principal business office of the Reporting Persons is c/o RA Capital Management, L.P., 200 Berkeley Street, 18^th Floor, Boston, MA 02116.

 

(c)       Citizenship: Capital is a Delaware limited partnership. Dr. Kolchinsky and Mr. Shah are United States citizens.

 

(d)       Title and Class of Securities: Common stock (“Common Stock”)
