Commitments and Contingencies	Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies We have contracted with various consultants and third parties to assist us in pre-clinical research and development and clinical trials work for our leading drug compounds. The contracts are terminable at any time, but obligate us to reimburse the providers for any time or costs incurred through the date of termination. We also have employment agreements with certain of our current employees that provide for severance payments and accelerated vesting for share-based awards if their employment is terminated under specified circumstances. Presage License Agreement As discussed in Note 4, we are party to a license agreement with Presage under which we may be required to make future payments upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as potential future royalties based upon net sales. As of June 30, 2021, we had not accrued any amounts for potential future payments. SBio Purchase Agreement We are party to a definitive asset purchase agreement with SBio, pursuant to which we acquired certain assets comprised of intellectual property and technology including rights to pracinostat. We agreed to make certain milestone payments to SBio based on the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and net sales-based milestones, as well as to make certain contingent earnout payments to SBio. Milestone payments will be made to S*Bio up to an aggregate amount of $75.2 million if certain U.S., E.U. and Japanese regulatory approvals are obtained and if certain net sales thresholds are met in North America, the E.U. and Japan. The first milestone payment of $200,000 plus 166,527 shares of our common stock having a value of $500,000 was paid in August 2017 upon the first dosing of a patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial. Subsequent milestone payments will be due upon certain regulatory approvals and sales-based events. As of June 30, 2021, we had not accrued any amounts for potential future payments. COVID-19 As a result of the ongoing and rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, various public health orders and guidance measures have been implemented across much of the United States, and across the globe, including in the locations of our office, clinical trial sites, key vendors and partners. Despite the relaxation of many governmental orders earlier this year, COVID-19 still impacts the normal conduct of business. While we continue to enroll and dose patients in our clinical trials, our clinical development program timelines may continue to be subject to potential negative impacts from the ongoing pandemic in the U.S. and globally. We may experience enrollment delays and suspensions, patient withdrawals, postponement of planned clinical or preclinical studies, redirection of site resources from studies, and study deviations or noncompliance. We may also need to maintain or implement study modifications, suspensions, or terminations, the introduction of additional remote study procedures and modified informed consent procedures, study site changes, direct delivery of investigational products to patient homes or alternative sites, which may require state licensing, and changes or delays in site monitoring. The foregoing may require that we consult with relevant review and ethics committees, IRBs, and the FDA. The foregoing may also impact the integrity of our study data. The COVID-19 outbreak may further increase the need for clinical trial patient monitoring and regulatory reporting of adverse effects, and may delay regulatory authority meetings, inspections, or the regulatory review of marketing or investigational applications or submissions. Not only might the continuing COVID-19 pandemic impact the conduct of our clinical trials, but it may also impact our ability to procure the necessary supply of our investigational drug products, as well as any ancillary supplies necessary for the conduct of our studies. Third party manufacturers may also need to implement measures and changes, or deviate from typical manufacturing requirements that may otherwise adversely impact our product candidates. Government stimulus programs enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have not had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Legal Proceedings On August 10, 2020, Guy Bahat, an individual who allegedly purchased 50 shares of our common stock filed a putative securities class action lawsuit (the “Securities Class Action”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against the Company, Dr. Daniel P. Gold, and Mr. Brian G. Drazba, asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Mr. Bahat did not seek appointment as lead plaintiff, and the court appointed another individual, Ramesh Mahalingham, as lead plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks to sue on behalf of all purchasers of our securities from August 2, 2017 through July 1, 2020 and alleges, among other things, that we made false and misleading statements relating to pracinostat during the proposed class period. On February 16, 2021, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice, thereby concluding the class action litigation. On October 21, 2020, Peter D’Arcy, an individual who alleges that he is a Company stockholder, filed a putative stockholder derivative action nominally on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Derivative Action”) against Dr. Gold, Mr. Drazba, Mr. Charles V. Baltic, III, Dr. Kevan E. Clemens, Mr. Frederick W. Driscoll, Dr. Nicholas R. Glover, Ms. Tamar D. Howson, Dr. Thomas C. Reynolds, Mr. William D. Rueckert, and Dr. Christine A. White, and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. Additional putative stockholder derivative suits were filed in the same court naming the same defendants plus Dr. Robert D. Mass on December 2, 2020 and December 15, 2020 by Gerald Wright and William Trablicy, respectively, who also allege that they are Company stockholders, and these additional suits were consolidated into the Derivative Action by court order. The Derivative Action is based upon the pracinostat-related allegations in the Securities Class Action described above, and alleges claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, corporate waste, and contribution. On February 24, 2021, following the resolution of the class action litigation, the parties stipulated request for voluntary dismissal without prejudice, which the court granted on February 25, 2021.
