The debt funding comes from Pharmakon Advisors and Athyrium Capital Management. Halozyme said the credit line is secured by future royalties of its ENHANZE products, which are coming from deals with Roche and Baxalta. The company said the funds go to support initiation of a phase 3 study in pancreatic cancer, along with studies in non-small cell lung and gastric cancers, and start of our planned trial in breast cancer in collaboration with Eisai.
