At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets was $30.7 million. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) related to the development of the anti-KIT program (including CDX-0159) and the TAM program, a broad antibody discovery effort to generate antibodies that modulate the TAM family of RTKs, comprised of Tyro3, AXL and MerTK. CDX-0159 is in Phase 1 development and the TAM program is in preclinical development. As of March 31, 2021, 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. As a result of the discontinuation of the CDX-3379 program in the second quarter of 2020, 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 in the second quarter of 2020. As a result of a change in the projected development and regulatory timeline related to the TAM program in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that the TAM IPR&D asset was partially impaired and a non-cash impairment charge of $14.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. 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.
