Janssen License Agreement
On April 23, 2024, the Company reacquired all rights to develop and commercialize CD388 when the Company and Janssen entered into the Janssen License Agreement, which also effectively terminated the Janssen Collaboration Agreement (as defined below), including the license granted by the Company to Janssen.
Under the Janssen License Agreement, the Company assumed responsibility for further clinical development, manufacture, registration and commercialization of DFCs based on the Company’s Cloudbreak platform for the prevention and treatment of influenza, including CD388 and products or compounds containing CD388. Janssen granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide, fee-bearing royalty-free license for certain Janssen-controller technology to develop, manufacture, and commercialize compounds and products, including CD388. Janssen agreed to (i) transfer and disclose to the Company certain Janssen-controlled know-how related to CD388, including manufacturing know-how, data and documentation, (ii) transfer all existing quantities of CD388 clinical materials, and (iii) transfer the cell banks used by or on behalf of Janssen for the production of CD388.
The Company paid Janssen an upfront payment of $85.0 million on April 24, 2024. The Company is also obligated to pay Janssen up to $150.0 million in development and regulatory milestone payments and up to $455.0 million in commercialization milestone payments, with respect to CD388. The Company has no obligation to pay any royalties to Janssen for future sales of any commercialized CD388 product. The Company’s contingent future obligation to pay Janssen with respect to CD388 will be recognized if and when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable.
As the Company had an existing license and collaboration agreement with Janssen, or the Janssen Collaboration Agreement, the Company considered the contract modification and consideration payable to a customer guidance in ASC 606. The Company determined this bundled arrangement would be accounted for as a termination of the existing revenue contract and the creation of a new arrangement. No amounts paid or payable to Janssen were recorded against revenue as the consideration payable to Janssen does not exceed the fair value of the distinct assets acquired in the Janssen License Agreement.
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer and substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in the acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, of CD388. The reacquired license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize activities of CD388 is part of the acquired IPR&D. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The acquired IPR&D did not have an alternative future use as of the acquisition date. Therefore, the initial purchase price of $85.4 million, inclusive of $0.4 million in direct transaction costs, was expensed as of the acquisition date as acquired IPR&D in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the second quarter of 2024.
Prior to the acquisition, the Company had $0.5 million in contract liabilities related to deferred revenue balances and unearned cancelled performance obligations associated with the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. The settlement of the preexisting contract liabilities was recorded as an offset to the Janssen License Agreement’s initial purchase price resulting in $84.9 million expensed as acquired IPR&D in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Janssen Collaboration Agreement
In March 2021, the Company and Janssen entered into the Janssen Collaboration Agreement to develop and commercialize one or more DFCs based on the Company’s Cloudbreak platform, for the prevention and treatment of influenza, including CD388.
Collaboration. The Company and Janssen collaborated in the research, preclinical development and early clinical development of CD388, or the Development Candidate, under a mutually-agreed R&D plan, or the Research Plan, with the objective of advancing such Development Candidate through the completion of mutually-agreed Phase 1 clinical trials and the first Phase 2 clinical trial, or Phase 2 Study. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Company was responsible for performing, or having performed, all investigational new drug application, or IND, -enabling studies and clinical trials under the Research Plan, and the Company was the IND holder for the Research Plan clinical trials. Both parties were responsible for conducting certain specified chemistry, manufacturing and controls, or CMC, development activities under the Research Plan.
In September 2023, Janssen delivered its Election to Proceed Notice for CD388, whereby Janssen assumed the future development, manufacturing and commercialization activities of CD388 under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. The Company continued to work in collaboration with Janssen to complete the Phase 1 and Phase 2a clinical trials and was reimbursed for all ongoing development activities by Janssen as per the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. Following Janssen’s Election to Proceed Notice, Janssen was obligated at its sole expense to diligently continue development and commercialization.
Termination. The Janssen Collaboration Agreement was terminated upon the effectiveness of the Janssen License Agreement on April 24, 2024, and all potential future milestone payments and royalties were forfeited by the Company.
Revenue Recognition
Prior to the Janssen Collaboration Agreement termination on April 24, 2024, the Company determined the transaction price is equal to the up-front fee of $27.0 million, plus the R&D funding of $47.8 million, plus milestones achieved of $10.0 million. The transaction price included the total estimated costs related to R&D and clinical supply services. No revenue was reversed due to the change in transaction price as revenue is recognized based on actual amounts billed. The transaction price was allocated to the performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price estimated for each performance obligation. In estimating the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, the Company utilized discounted cash flows and developed assumptions that required judgment and included forecasted revenues, expected development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success, costs to continue the R&D efforts and costs for manufacturing clinical supplies.
A description of the distinct performance obligations identified under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement was as follows:
Licenses of Intellectual Property. The license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, represented a distinct performance obligation. The license and associated know-how was transferred to Janssen in May 2021.
Research and Development Services. The R&D services performed represented a distinct performance obligation. The Company recognized revenue based on actual amounts incurred as the underlying services were provided and billed at fair value.
Clinical Supply Services. The Company’s initial obligation to supply drug supply for ongoing development represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company recognized revenue based on actual amounts incurred as the underlying services were provided and billed at fair value.
Milestone Payments. In March 2022 and September 2023, the Company achieved milestones under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement that the Company deemed to be tied to all the performance obligations identified in the original agreement. Revenue associated with these milestones was allocated proportionately to the original transaction price which was allocated to the performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price estimated for each performance obligation. In conjunction with the performance obligations already delivered, revenue was recognized based on the progress of these performance obligations, the unrecognized portion was recorded as contract liabilities at the reporting period end and was expected to be recognized as revenue over the remaining progress of these performance obligations.
Royalties. As the license was deemed to be the predominant item to which sales-based royalties related, the Company recognized royalty revenue when the related sales occurred.
As of the termination date of the Janssen Collaboration Agreement, there was no aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded no accounts receivable or contract liabilities associated with the Janssen Collaboration Agreement.
