Revenue Recognition [Abstract] |
Collaborative Research and Development Agreements | Collaborative Research and Development Agreements GlaxoSmithKline Collaboration In March 2014, we entered into a Collaboration and Exclusive License Agreement (the “GSK Agreement”) with TESARO, Inc., an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company now a part of GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”). Under the terms of the GSK Agreement, we agreed to perform certain discovery and early preclinical development of therapeutic antibodies with the goal of generating immunotherapy antibodies for subsequent preclinical, clinical, regulatory, and commercial development to be performed by GSK. Under the terms of the GSK Agreement, GSK paid an upfront license fee of $17.0 million in March 2014 and agreed to provide funding to us for research and development services related to antibody discovery programs for three specific targets. In November 2014, we and TESARO, Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 to the GSK Agreement to add an antibody discovery program against an undisclosed fourth target for an upfront license fee of $2.0 million. For each development program, we are eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $18.0 million if certain preclinical and clinical trial events are achieved by GSK, up to an additional $90.0 million if certain U.S. and European regulatory submissions and approvals in multiple indications are achieved, and up to an additional $165.0 million upon the achievement of specified levels of annual worldwide net sales. We will also be eligible to receive tiered single-digit royalties related to worldwide net sales of products developed under the collaboration. Unless earlier terminated by either party upon specified circumstances, the GSK Agreement will terminate, with respect to each specific developed product, upon the later of the 12th anniversary of the first commercial sale of the product or the expiration of the last to expire of any patent. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we determined that the upfront license fees and research funding under the GSK Agreement, as amended, should be accounted for as a single unit of accounting and that the upfront license fees should be deferred and recognized as revenue over the same period that the research and development services are performed. In December 2015, we determined that the research and development services would be extended through December 31, 2016. As a result, the period over which the unrecognized license fees and discovery milestones were recognized was extended through December 31, 2016 and have since been recognized in full. We assessed this arrangement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, GSK, is a customer. We identified the following material promises under the GSK Agreement: (1) the licenses under certain patent rights relating to six discovery programs (four targets) and transfer of certain development and regulatory information, (2) research and development (“R&D”) services, and (3) joint steering committee meetings. We considered the research and discovery capabilities of GSK for these specific programs, GSK’s inability to sub-license, and the fact that the discovery and optimization of these antibodies is proprietary and could not, at the time of contract inception, be provided by other vendors, to conclude that the license does not have stand-alone functionality and is therefore not distinct. Additionally, we determined that the joint steering committee participation would not have been provided without the R&D services and license agreement. Based on these assessments, we identified all services to be interrelated and therefore concluded that the promises should be combined into a single performance obligation at the inception of the arrangement. As of September 30, 2020, the transaction price for the GSK Agreement includes the upfront payment, research reimbursement revenue, and milestones earned to date, which are allocated in their entirety to the single performance obligation. We earned and recognized two clinical milestones for $15.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. No other future clinical or regulatory milestones have been included in the transaction price, as all milestone amounts were subject to the revenue constraint. As part of the constraint evaluation, we considered numerous factors including the fact that the receipt of milestones is outside of our control and contingent upon success in future clinical trials, an outcome that is difficult to predict, and GSK’s efforts. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones, including royalties, will be recognized when the related sales occur as they were determined to relate predominantly to the intellectual property license granted to GSK and therefore have also been excluded from the transaction price. We will re-evaluate the variable transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. Milestones recognized through September 30, 2020 under the GSK Agreement are as follows:
| Anti-PD-1 (GSK4057190A/Dostarlimab) |  | Anti-TIM-3 (GSK4069889A/Cobolimab) |  | Anti-LAG-3 (GSK40974386)
Milestone Event | Amount | Quarter Recognized |  | Amount | Quarter Recognized |  | Amount | Quarter Recognized
Initiated in vivo toxicology studies using good laboratory practices (GLPs) | $1.0M | Q2'15 |  | $1.0M | Q4'15 |  | $1.0M | Q3'16
IND clearance from the FDA | $4.0M | Q1'16 |  | $4.0M | Q2'16 |  | $4.0M | Q2'17
Phase 2 clinical trial initiation | $3.0M | Q2'17 |  | $3.0M | Q4'17 |  | $3.0M | Q4'19
Phase 3 clinical trial initiation - first indication | $5.0M | Q3'18 |  | — | — |  | — | —
Phase 3 clinical trial initiation - second indication | $5.0M | Q2'19 |  | — | — |  | — | —

Filing of the first MAA - first indication | $5.0M | Q1'20 |  | — | — |  | — | —
Milestones achieved during the discovery period were recognized as revenue pro-rata through December 31, 2016. Milestones achieved during fiscal 2017 were recognized as revenue in the period earned, while milestones after December 31, 2017 are recognized upon determination that a significant reversal of revenue would not be probable. Cash is generally received within 30 days of milestone achievement. We recognized $0 and $15.0 million in revenue under the GSK Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $0 and $5.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Antibody Generation Agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb In December 2011, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “BMS Agreement”) with Celgene, now a part of Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”), to develop therapeutic antibodies against multiple targets. We granted BMS the option to obtain worldwide commercial rights to antibodies generated against each of the targets under the agreement, which option was triggered on a target-by-target basis by our delivery of antibodies meeting certain pre-specified parameters pertaining to each target under the agreement. The BMS Agreement provided for an upfront payment of $6.0 million from BMS, which we received in 2011 and recognized through 2014, milestone payments of up to $53.0 million per target, low single-digit royalties on net sales of antibodies against each target, and reimbursement of specified research and development costs. We assessed this arrangement in accordance with ASC Topic 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, BMS, is a customer. We identified the following material promises under the BMS Agreement: (1) the licenses under certain patent rights relating to four targets and transfer of certain development and regulatory information, (2) R&D services, (3) a written report documenting findings, and (4) steering committee meetings. We considered the research and discovery capabilities of BMS, BMS’s inability to sub-license the four targets, and the fact that the discovery and optimization of these antibodies is proprietary and could not, at the time of contract inception, be provided by other vendors, to conclude that the license does not have stand-alone functionality and is therefore not distinct. Additionally, we determined that the report of findings and steering committee participation would not have been provided without the R&D services and license agreement. Based on these assessments, we identified all services to be interrelated, and therefore concluded that the promises should be combined into a single performance obligation at the inception the arrangement. As of September 30, 2020, the transaction price of the BMS Agreement includes the upfront payment, success fees, expense reimbursement, and milestones earned to date, which are allocated in their entirety to the single performance obligation. None of the future clinical or regulatory milestones have been included in the transaction price, as all milestone amounts were subject to the revenue constraint. As part of the constraint evaluation, we considered numerous factors, including the fact that the receipt of milestones is outside of our control and contingent upon success in future clinical trials and BMS’s efforts. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones, including royalties, will be recognized when the related sales occur as they were determined to relate predominantly to the intellectual property license granted to BMS and therefore have also been excluded from the transaction price. We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. Milestones achieved through September 30, 2020 under the BMS Agreement are as follows:
| Anti-PD-1 (CC-90006)
Milestone Event | Amount | Quarter Recognized
Completion of first in vivo toxicology studies using GLPs | $0.5M | Q2'16
Phase 1 clinical trial initiation | $1.0M | Q4'16
Revenue from future contingent milestone payments will be recognized when it is more likely than not that the revenue will not be reversed in future periods. Cash is generally received within 30 days of milestone achievement. There was no revenue recognized under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
