At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets was $27.2 million and $30.7 million, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired 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 September 30, 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. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company decided that although it had developed promising data for the AxL target within the TAM program, it would focus its efforts on out-licensing opportunities for its TAM program. As a result, the Company evaluated the TAM program IPR&D asset for potential impairment due to the change in projected development and regulatory timelines related to the program and recorded a non-cash partial impairment charge of $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company evaluated its out-licensing progress since December 31, 2020 and the status and expectation for the TAM program. Despite the Company’s efforts to out-license, there was a lack of interest in the program from third parties. Therefore, the Company evaluated the TAM program IPR&D asset for potential impairment using a discounted cash flow fair value model and concluded that the TAM IPR&D asset was fully impaired. A non-cash impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021. 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. 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.
