Royalty Pharma plc announced on June 24, 2025, a substantial funding arrangement of up to $2 billion with Revolution Medicines. This agreement is designed to support the global development and commercialization of daraxonrasib, an experimental cancer drug, and Revolution Medicines' broader pipeline for RAS-addicted cancers. The funding package comprises a synthetic royalty of up to $1.25 billion on daraxonrasib and a senior secured loan of up to $750 million. This customized funding solution allows Revolution Medicines to retain operational control over its clinical development and commercialization efforts. Daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, is currently in Phase 3 development for RAS mutant pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These cancers represent significant unmet needs, with approximately 56,000 U.S. patients diagnosed with RAS-driven pancreatic cancer and 60,000 with RAS-driven NSCLC annually. Phase 3 results for daraxonrasib in pancreatic cancer are expected in 2026. The content on BeyondSPX is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial or investment advice.
