2. COLLABORATIONS AND ALLIANCES

 

Daiichi Sankyo Tivantinib Agreement

 

As previously reported, on December 18, 2008, we entered into a license, co-development and co-commercialization agreement with Daiichi Sankyo to conduct research, clinical trials and the commercialization of tivantinib in human cancer indications in the U.S., Europe, South America and the rest of the world, excluding Japan, China (including Hong Kong), South Korea and Taiwan, where Kyowa Hakko Kirin has exclusive rights for development and commercialization.

 

Under the terms of our tivantinib collaboration agreement with Daiichi Sankyo we shared development costs equally with our share of Phase 3 costs funded solely from milestones and royalties. In each quarter the tivantinib collaboration costs we incurred were compared with those of Daiichi Sankyo. If our costs for the quarter exceeded Daiichi Sankyo’s, we recognized revenue on the amounts due to us under the contingency adjusted performance model. Revenue was calculated on a pro-rata basis using the time elapsed from inception of the agreement over the estimated duration of the development period under the agreement. If our costs for the quarter were less than those of Daiichi Sankyo, we reported the amount due to Daiichi Sankyo as contra-revenue in that quarter. To the extent that our share of Phase 3 collaboration costs exceeded the amount of milestones and royalties received, that excess was netted against milestones and royalties earned and was not reported as contra-revenue.

 

Our cumulative share of the Daiichi Sankyo Phase 3 costs through March 31, 2017 totaled $107.7 million. Our cumulative share of Phase 3 collaboration costs has exceeded the amount of milestones received through March 31, 2017 by $67.7 million which are not required to be repaid upon expiration of the agreement.

 

Revenue for this agreement was recognized using the contingency-adjusted performance model with an estimated development period through December 31, 2016. On February 17, 2017, we and Daiichi Sankyo announced that the METIV-HCC trial did not meet its primary end point of improving OS. As a result, we do not anticipate receiving further royalties or milestones in connection with the agreement.

 

For the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, zero and $0.7 million, respectively, were recognized as net revenue.

 

Kyowa Hakko Kirin Licensing Agreement

 

As previously reported, on April 27, 2007, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin to develop and commercialize tivantinib in Japan and parts of Asia. Revenue for this agreement was recognized using the contingency-adjusted performance model with an estimated development period through December 31, 2016. On March 27, 2017, we reported that our partner, Kyowa Hakko Kirin, announced top-line results of the JET-HCC Phase 3 trial of tivantinib in Japan, and that the trial did not meet its primary endpoint of improving PFS. As a result, we do not anticipate receiving further royalties or milestones in connection with the agreement.

 

For the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, zero and $0.5 million, respectively, were recognized as revenue.
