COVID-19 Pandemic and CARES Act	11. COVID-19 Pandemic and CARES Act The COVID-19 pandemic has presented substantial public health and economic challenges and is affecting economies, financial markets and business operations around the world. While the Company has implemented additional health and safety precautions and protocols in response to the pandemic and government guidelines, the Company has not experienced a significant impact on its business and operations. However, the Company may experience disruptions that could adversely impact its business operations as well as its preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company is currently continuing the clinical trials it has underway in sites across the U.S., and, although there has been no significant impact to date, the Company expects that COVID-19 precautions may directly or indirectly impact the timeline for some of its clinical trials. Some of the Company’s clinical trial sites, including those located in areas severely impacted by the pandemic, placed new patient enrollment into clinical trials on hold or, for patients traveling from out-of-state, implemented a 14-day self-quarantine before appointments. In addition, some clinical trial sites imposed limited accessibility to conduct clinical monitoring and training on-site. As the accessibility of vaccines against COVID-19 and the number of adults who have received a vaccine has increased, several of the restrictions have been eased or lifted entirely. The Company considered the impacts of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used to prepare its consolidated financial statements and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at September 30, 2021. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact its business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s social security payments, net operating loss utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property (QIP). The CARES Act had no material impact on the Company’s income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2020 or the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The programs under the CARES Act expired on September 6, 2021.
