Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed April 13, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Royalty Pharma plc (RPRX) filed this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to disclose that Revolution Medicines, Inc. announced positive Phase 3 results from the RASolute 302 trial of daraxonrasib, an oral RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, in patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
The trial met all primary and key secondary endpoints, including progression-free survival and overall survival. Revolution Medicines intends to submit the data to global regulatory authorities, including the FDA, as part of a future New Drug Application under a Commissioner's National Priority Voucher. The filing describes the $2 billiona funding agreement announced in June 2025, consisting of a synthetic royalty of up to $1.25 billion on daraxonrasib and a senior secured loan of up to $750 million.
Royalty Pharma funded $250 millionb upfront, and the announcement triggered an additional $250 million tranche. Following this second tranche, Royalty Pharma's total tiered royalty on daraxonrasib sales (and zoldonrasib if approved in an overlapping indication) is 4.55% on sales from $0 to $2 billion, 2.50% on sales from $2 billion to $4 billion, and 1.00% on sales from $4 billion to $8 billion. The filing also describes up to $750 million in additional synthetic royalty funding at Revolution Medicines' option upon certain regulatory, commercial and clinical milestones, including the next $250 million on FDA approval in metastatic PDAC.
If fully drawn, the royalty rates would increase to 7.80%, 4.55% and 2.40% across the same sales bands. Separately, Royalty Pharma is providing a senior secured term loan of up to $750 millionc in three tranches; the first $250 million must be drawn following FDA approval of daraxonrasib for metastatic PDAC, and the two remaining $250 million tranches are at Revolution Medicines' option based on trailing four-quarter net sales milestones.
