About Royalty Pharma
Founded in 1996, Royalty Pharma is the largest
buyer of biopharmaceutical royalties and a leading funder of
innovation across the biopharmaceutical industry, collaborating
with innovators from academic institutions, research hospitals and
not-for-profits through small and mid-cap biotechnology companies
to leading global pharmaceutical companies. Royalty Pharma has
assembled a portfolio of royalties which entitles it to payments
based directly on the top-line sales of many of the industry’s
leading therapies. Royalty Pharma funds innovation in the
biopharmaceutical industry both directly and indirectly - directly
when it partners with companies to co-fund late-stage clinical
trials and new product launches in exchange for future royalties,
and indirectly when it acquires existing royalties from the
original innovators. Royalty Pharma’s current portfolio includes
royalties on more than 45 commercial products, including AbbVie and
J&J’s Imbruvica, Astellas and Pfizer’s Xtandi, Biogen’s
Tysabri, Gilead’s HIV franchise, Merck’s Januvia, Novartis’
Promacta, and Vertex’s Kalydeco, Symdeko and Trikafta, and three
development-stage product candidates.
