Collaborations

Pfizer

Pursuant to the termination agreement entered on December 8, 2016, in connection with the termination of a prior license and development agreement, Pfizer granted the Company an exclusive license to Pfizer’s proprietary rights for manufacturing materials and processes that apply to Factor VIIa variants, CB 813a and marzeptacog alfa (activated). Pfizer also transferred to the Company the IND application and documentation related to the development, manufacturing and testing of the Factor VIIa products as well as the orphan drug designation. The Company agreed to make contingent cash payments to Pfizer in an aggregate amount equal to up to $17.5 million, payable upon the achievement of clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones. Following commercialization of any covered product, Pfizer would also receive a single-digit royalty on net product sales on a country-by-country basis for a predefined royalty term. No amounts have been paid as of December 31, 2017, under this new agreement. In February 2018, the Company paid Pfizer a $1 million milestone payment based on the dosing of the first patient in the ongoing Phase 2 study.

ISU Abxis

On September 16, 2013, the Company signed a license and collaboration agreement with ISU Abxis, whereby the Company licensed its proprietary human Factor IX products to ISU Abxis for initial development in South Korea. Under the terms of the agreement, ISU Abxis is responsible for manufacturing, preclinical development activities and clinical development through completion of a proof-of-concept Phase 1/2 study in individuals with hemophilia B. The Company has the sole rights and responsibility for worldwide development, manufacture, and commercialization of Factor IX products after Phase 1/2 development. ISU Abxis may exercise its right of first refusal to acquire commercialization rights in South Korea, in which case they would be entitled to profit sharing on worldwide sales. ISU’s rights will also terminate if the Company enters into a license agreement with another party to develop, manufacture and commercialize Factor IX products in at the United States, European Union or Asia, subject to ISU’s retained rights in South Korea.

ISU Abxis paid the Company an up-front signing fee of $1.75 million and is obligated to pay to the Company contingent milestone-based payments on the occurrence of certain defined development events, and reimbursement for a portion of the Company’s costs relating to intellectual property filings and maintenance thereof on products. The Company is obligated to pay ISU Abxis a percentage of all net profits it receives from collaboration products.

Contract revenue of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, reflects the amortization of the up-front fee over the estimated period of our performance obligations, which concluded in February 2018. In addition, the Company received milestone payments from ISU Abxis of $0.9 million and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, which are recognized over the estimated remaining period of the Company’s performance obligation under the agreement, of which the Company recorded $0.7 million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The deferred revenue balance related to the ISU Abxis collaboration was $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
