The deal includes an upfront payment of $75 million and potential additional payments totaling $225 million, contingent upon achieving key developmental and regulatory milestones.

The financial backing and endorsement from Royalty Pharma enhance confidence in Zenas BioPharma’s future prospects, making the stock an attractive buy recommendation.
