Liscense Agreement [Abstract]
License and Collaboration Agreements	NOTE 11-LICENSE AND COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS Allergan/AbbVie Agreement In October 2016, the Company entered into the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement and granted Allergan (now part of AbbVie) an exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize pharmaceutical products that contain RTGel and clostridial toxins (including BOTOX^®), alone or in combination with certain other active ingredients, referred to as the Licensed Products, which are approved for the treatment of adults with overactive bladder who cannot use or do not adequately respond to anticholinergics. Additionally, the Company granted Allergan a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use certain of the Company’s trademarks as required for Allergan to practice its exclusive license with respect to the Licensed Products. Under the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement, Allergan is solely responsible for costs and development of the Licensed Products and obtaining all regulatory approvals for Licensed Products worldwide, as well as worldwide commercialization of the Licensed Products after receiving the regulatory approval to do so. Allergan is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the Licensed Products for overactive bladder in certain major market countries. The Company will supply Allergan with certain quantities of RTGel for development of Licensed Products through Phase 2 clinical trials using BOTOX together with RTGel in patients with overactive bladder, at Allergan’s request and expense. Allergan has the right to reduce the next milestone payment if there is a material supply failure from the Company. Prior to completion of the first Phase 2 clinical trial, Allergan has the right to request that the Company transfers to Allergan the Company’s manufacturing process for RTGel and Allergan will assume the responsibility to manufacture RTGel and Licensed Product for its own development and commercialization activities. Further, the Company is eligible to receive additional material milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $200.0 million upon the successful completion of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones. As of September 30, 2020, since inception of the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement the Company has received a total of $25.0 million in milestone payments from Allergan. Allergan will pay the Company a tiered royalty in the low single digits based on worldwide annual net sales of Licensed Products, subject to certain reductions for the market entry of competing products and/or loss of the Company’s patent coverage of Licensed Products. The Company is responsible for payments to any third party for certain RTGel-related third-party intellectual properties. Under the Allergan/AbbVie Agreement, Allergan granted the Company a non-exclusive, sublicensable, fully paid-up, perpetual, worldwide license under any improvements Allergan makes to the composition, formulation, or manufacture of RTGel for the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of any product containing RTGel and any active ingredient (other than a clostridial toxin) for all indications other than indications covered by the agreement and an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing (in low single digits), perpetual worldwide license under such improvements for use in the prevention or treatment of oncology indications. In August 2020, the Company announced that the Phase 2 APOLLO trial did not meet the primary endpoint, believed to be the result of BOTOX not effectively permeating the urothelium. UroGen and AbbVie will continue to explore the use of RTGel with AbbVie’s portfolio of toxin proteins. Agenus Agreement In November 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with Agenus Inc, pursuant to which Agenus granted to the Company an exclusive, worldwide (not including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and their respective territories and possessions), royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under Agenus’s intellectual property rights to develop, make, use, sell, import, and otherwise commercialize products incorporating a proprietary antibody of Agenus known as AGEN1884 for the treatment of cancers of the urinary tract via intravesical delivery. AGEN1884 is an anti-CTLA-4 antagonist that is currently being evaluated by Agenus as a monotherapy in PD-1 refractory patients and in combination with Agenus’ anti-PD-1 antibody in solid tumors. Initially, the Company plans to develop AGEN1884 in combination with UGN-201 for the treatment of high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Pursuant to the license Agreement, the Company paid Agenus an upfront fee of $10.0 million and has agreed to pay Agenus up to $115.0 million upon achieving certain clinical development and regulatory milestones, up to $85.0 million upon achieving certain commercial milestones, and royalties on net sales of licensed products in the 14%-20% range. The Company will be responsible for all development and commercialization activities. Under the terms of the license agreement, Agenus has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply AGEN1884 to the Company for use in preclinical studies or clinical trials. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the license agreement, the license agreement will expire on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis at the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire valid claim of a licensed patent right that covers the licensed product in such country or (b) 15 years after the first commercial sale of the licensed product in such country. The Company may terminate the license agreement for convenience upon 180 days’ written notice to Agenus. Either party may terminate the license agreement upon 60 days’ notice to the other party if, prior to the first commercial sale of a licensed product, the Company substantially ceases to conduct development activities of the licensed products for nine consecutive months (and during such period, Agenus has complied with its obligations under the license agreement) other than in response to a requirement of an applicable regulatory authority or an event outside of the Company’s control. In addition, either party may terminate the license agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of the other party. As of September 30, 2020, since inception of the Agenus Agreement, the Company has paid a total of $10.0 million in milestone payments, which was recognized in acquired in-process research and development expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
