According to a recent FiercePharma article, Ascendis Pharma has received a $150M investment from Royalty Pharma. In return, Royalty Pharma will get a 9.15% royalty on Skytrofa sales in the United States in 2025. This cash will help Ascendis lower its costs and deliver medicines to patients faster. Skytrofa is the first drug of its kind and only needs to be taken once a week, unlike the daily alternatives. It made about $39M in 2022, and is on track to outpace those sales this year.
