From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Royalty Pharma

  • ... that by its own count, Royalty Pharma owns partial rights to 7 of the top 30 selling drugs in the United States?
  • Source: "Cashing in on rising drug prices often unleashes an outcry from consumers and politicians. But a little-known private equity investor, Royalty Pharma, has built an unusual investment portfolio valued at $15 billion — it buys up the rights to royalties on future drug sales — while largely avoiding public controversy. By its own count, Royalty Pharma owns partial rights to seven of the 30 top-selling drugs in the United States, including giants like Humira, the arthritis treatment that is the single biggest-selling medication in America. And its deals have been getting larger." NY Times

  • QPQ done, article seems long enough and decently sourced, no copyvio concerns. However, per the original source and your excerpt, the claim is specifically By its own count, Royalty Pharma owns partial rights to seven of the 30 top-selling drugs in the United States (emphasis mine). Also, change "seven" to "7" for consistency per MOS:NUM. Change these here and in the article and I'll finish this review. Departure– (talk) 19:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
@Departure–: Thank you for your review! I have made the changes you recommended. Thriley (talk) 04:33, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
@Thriley: Sorry for not getting to this sooner, I didn't get your ping. I'll take a second look at this tomorrow and more than likely support. Cheers! Departure– (talk) 02:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Approved on all criteria (I've been busy with things on- and off-wiki, so sorry for the long wait time!), no copyvio and viable as moved to mainspace within a week of this nomination. Good to go! Departure– (talk) 13:31, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
@Thriley: Actually, I'm going to scrutinize this a bit more. The hook itself is lifted directly out of the source. Do you have a fair rephrasing of it so the DYK hook itself isn't a copyvio concern? Departure– (talk) 13:37, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
@Thriley: Courtesy ping to reword the hook or propose an ALT, as your reviewer has unapproved. Cielquiparle (talk) 13:13, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
I am going to add a new hook later today. Best, Thriley (talk) 18:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
