Orchestra BioMed announced on August 5 it has raised $111.2 million through a hybrid equity and royalty financing structure. Medtronic and Ligand have contributed equity and royalty commitments aimed at advanced-phase trials of its AVIM therapy and Virtue SAB program. (Rhea‑AI Impact / StockTitan)

The funding positions Orchestra to continue enrollment in its AVIM atrioventricular interval modulation therapy trial and advance recruitment in its Virtue sirolimus angioplasty balloon clinical program. The financing extends the firm’s cash runway into the second half of 2027. (StockTitan)

A Strategic Financing Structure

The structure includes a $40 million public equity raise, $11.2 million private equity placements, and $55 million in royalty-based financing from Medtronic and Ligand. This hybrid model balances dilution and non-equity funding to fund late-stage medicine trials. (StockTitan)

Commercial and Clinical Landscape

Orchestra is testing its AVIM therapy under Medicare coverage expansion, aiming at a significant patient population with advanced atrioventricular interval disorders. The Virtue SAB therapy targets vascular restenosis. Success in both could position the company for pivotal licensing deals or M&A. (StockTitan)

Why This Matters

The new resources may de-risk Orchestra’s path through Phase III trials, increasing its bargaining power with pharmaceutical partners. It also signals renewed investor appetite for hybrid, royalty-backed biotech models amid volatility in pure equity markets. (StockTitan)
