License Agreements [Abstract] |
Regents of the University of California License Agreement (the “UC Agreement”) | Regents of the University of California License Agreement (the “UC Agreement”) In 2015, we entered into the UC Agreement to obtain an exclusive, worldwide license relating to the use of certain patents and technology relating to αvß1 compound in fibrosis indications. Pursuant to the UC Agreement, we made a $2.4 million milestone payment upon the close of our IPO in June 2020. Subsequently, we determined the licensed technology was no longer relevant to the development of our product candidates and, therefore, we exercised our right to terminate the UC Agreement which became effective in the first quarter of 2021. No further obligations or financial commitments survive the termination.
