4. Significant Collaborative Research and License Agreements

Incyte Collaboration

In September 2021, the Company entered into the Incyte License with Incyte, covering the worldwide development and commercialization of axatilimab. Also in September 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Incyte, or the Incyte Share Purchase Agreement. These agreements are collectively referred to as the Incyte Agreements. Under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, Incyte received exclusive commercialization rights outside of the United States, subject to certain royalty payment obligations set forth below. In the United States, Incyte and the Company are co-commercializing and co-promoting axatilimab as

Niktimvo™ (axatilimab-csfr). The Company and Incyte share equally the profits and losses from co-commercialization efforts in the United States.

The Company and Incyte have agreed to continue to co-develop axatilimab and to share development costs associated with global and additional U.S.-specific clinical trials, with Incyte responsible for 55% of such costs and the Company responsible for 45% of such costs. Each company will be responsible for funding any of its own independent development activities. Incyte is responsible for 100% of future development costs for trials that are specific to ex-U.S. countries. All development costs related to the collaboration will be subject to a joint development plan.

Under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, in December 2021, Incyte paid the Company a non-refundable cash payment of $117.0 million and the Company issued 1,421,523 shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $35.0 million, or $24.62 per share. Additionally, under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, the Company is eligible to receive up to $220.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones and up to $230.0 million in commercialization milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging in the mid-teens percentage on net sales of the licensed product comprising axatilimab in Europe and Japan and low double digit percentage in the rest of the world outside of the United States. The Company’s right to receive royalties in any particular country will expire upon the last to occur of (a) the expiration of licensed patent rights covering the licensed product in that particular country, (b) a specified period of time after the first post-marketing authorization sale of a licensed product in that country, and (c) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for that licensed product in that country.

In August 2024, the FDA approved Niktimvo for the treatment of cGVHD after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs). As a result of the approval of Niktimvo, the Company earned a revenue milestone of $12.5 million, which was received in the third quarter of 2024. Upon the achievement of $150.0 million in net sales of Niktimvo, the Company recognized a $5.0 million milestone receivable in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was received in the first quarter of 2026.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company has recognized collaboration revenue of $18.1 million and $34.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $9.4 million and $9.1 million of collaboration revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has recorded approximately $26.4 million as a collaboration receivable due from Incyte related to the Company's portion of the profit share, commercialization and development costs under the Incyte Agreements and has recorded approximately $4.0 million as a collaboration payable due to Incyte for development and commercialization costs incurred by Incyte. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded $28.1 million as a collaboration receivable due from Incyte related to the Company's portion of the profit share, commercialization and development costs under the Incyte Agreements and has recorded approximately $4.4 million as a collaboration payable due to Incyte for development and commercialization costs incurred by Incyte.

The Company’s share of collaboration profit or loss is based on net sales of Niktimvo and the collaborative commercialization expenses.

Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In October 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement, or the Vitae License Agreement, with Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Vitae, a subsidiary of AbbVie, Inc., or AbbVie, under which the Company was granted an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license to a portfolio of preclinical, orally available, small molecule inhibitors of the Menin–KMT2A binding interaction, or the Menin Assets. Upon execution of the Vitae License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Allergan (the predecessor in interest to AbbVie) up to $99.0 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the Vitae License Agreement, subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes the Menin Assets, the Company will also be obligated to pay Vitae low single to low double-digit percentage royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $70.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of the Menin Assets. Each party may terminate the Vitae License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency, and the Company may terminate the Vitae License Agreement at any time upon advance written notice to Vitae. Vitae may terminate the Vitae License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the Vitae License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country.

As of the date of the Vitae License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, in 2017, the upfront payment of $5.0 million was recorded as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Since the inception of the Vitae License Agreement, the Company achieved certain development and regulatory milestones resulting in $38.0 million in expense, which includes an $18.0 million milestone expense in 2024 and a $12.0 million expense in 2025, related to the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, for Revuforj and the first United States sale of Revuforj in its second indication.

UCB Biopharma Sprl

In 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement, or the UCB License Agreement, as amended from time to time, with UCB Biopharma Sprl, or UCB, under which UCB granted to the Company a worldwide, sublicensable, exclusive license to UCB6352, which the Company refers to as axatilimab, an anti-CSF-1R monoclonal antibody. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay UCB up to $119.5 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the UCB License Agreement, subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes axatilimab, the Company will also be obligated to pay UCB low double-digit percentage royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $250.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to share a percentage of non-royalty income from sublicensees, subject to certain deductions, with UCB. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of axatilimab, except that UCB was responsible for performing a limited set of transitional chemistry, manufacturing and control tasks related to axatilimab. Each party may terminate the UCB License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency, and the Company may terminate the UCB License Agreement at any time upon advance written notice to UCB. UCB may terminate the UCB License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the UCB License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country.

As of the date of the UCB License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, in 2016, the upfront payment of $5.0 million was recorded as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In connection with its most recent amendment of the UCB License Agreement, in the second quarter of 2022 the Company paid UCB $5.8 million, which was recognized as a milestone expense. Since the effective date of the license agreement, the Company achieved certain development and regulatory milestones and has recorded $41.0 million as research and development expense, which includes a $15.0 million milestone paid during the third quarter of 2024 upon the approval of Niktimvo and a $10.0 million milestone recognized in the first quarter of 2025 for the first patient dosed in a Phase III study with the compound in a combination with another agent. The Company also recognized a $10.0 million commercial milestone expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 upon the achievement of $150.0 million in net sales of Niktimvo.
