At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded indefinite-lived intangible assets of $45.2 million and $48.7 million, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) related to the development of CDX-3379, the anti-KIT program (including CDX-0159) and the TAM program.The Company evaluated the CDX-3379 IPR&D asset for potential impairment as a result of the discontinuation of the CDX-3379 program. The Company concluded that the CDX-3379 IPR&D asset was fully impaired, and a non-cash impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020. CDX-0159 is in Phase 1 development and the TAM program is in preclinical development. As of June 30, 2020, none of the Company’s IPR&D assets had reached technological feasibility nor did any have alternative future uses.

The Company performs an impairment test on IPR&D assets at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that IPR&D assets may be impaired. Due to the nature of IPR&D projects, the Company may experience future delays or failures to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, failures of such clinical trials or other failures to achieve a commercially viable product, and as a result, may recognize further impairment losses in the future.
