$450 million
Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (NYSE: BHVN) and Royalty Pharma (Nasdaq: RPRX) announced today that Biohaven has secured up to $250 million in funding to advance the company's CGRP receptor antagonist program through the development of zavegepant (formerly known as vazegepant). The zavegepant program encompasses intranasal zavegepant as well as oral zavegepant for migraine prevention and non-migraine indications. In exchange for these funds, Royalty Pharma will obtain a 0.4% royalty on annual worldwide net sales of Nurtec® ODT  and if certain zavegepant regulatory approvals are achieved, a royalty of up to 3% on annual worldwide net sales of zavegepant and success-based milestone payments. The success-based milestone payments range from 0.6x to 2.95x of the zavegepant funded amount depending on the number of regulatory approvals achieved for zavegepant (including 1.9x for the first zavegepant migraine regulatory approval) and would be paid over a ten-year period
