Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

7.	Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into agreements with various research organizations for pre-clinical and clinical development studies, which have provisions for cancellation. Under the terms of these agreements, the vendors provide a variety of services including conducting research, recruiting and enrolling patients, monitoring studies and data analysis. Payments under these agreements typically include fees for services and reimbursement of expenses. The timing of payments due under these agreements is estimated based on current study progress. As of December 31, 2016, we have clinical research study obligations of $3.3 million, $3.2 million of which are expected to be complete within a year. Should the timing of the clinical trials change, the timing of the payment of these obligations would also change.

We lease facilities for our headquarters office location as well as international office locations. As of December 31, 2016, we have remaining lease obligations of $1.8 million, all of which is expected to be completed within a year. Rent expense, which includes common area maintenance, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

We are party to an agreement with Roche Diagnostics Corporation, our sole supplier of reagents, which requires us to make certain product purchase minimums. Pursuant to the agreement, as of December 31, 2016, we have a minimum purchase obligation as follows:

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to legal proceedings. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions. Management assesses the probability of loss for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances, as appropriate. Management believes that any liability to us that may arise as a result of currently pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations as a whole.
