Licensing Agreements	17. License Agreements Rumpus (AR101) In April 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Rumpus. Through this transaction the Company secured exclusive global rights to AR101 from Denovo in the fields of rare genetic pediatric onset or congenital disorders outside of oncology. AR101 is a pivotal study-ready therapeutic candidate initially targeting the treatment of VEDS. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company paid an upfront fee of $1.5 million and aggregated fees of $0.6 million to Denovo and JHU. Upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, the Company will pay Rumpus up to $67.5 million in earn-out payments, which are payable in cash or shares of common stock, generally at the Company’s option. In addition, the Company received assignments of third-party licenses from Denovo and JHU and took over royalty obligations and performance-based milestones under these licenses. On December 7, 2021 the FDA granted ODD to AR101 for the treatment of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which includes the treatment of VEDS. As a result of this designation, a milestone payment of $2.5 million is due and payable to Rumpus in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock. The $2.5 million milestone payment is included in our accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. In addition, on December 13, 2021 the FDA has cleared the IND application for AR101, enabling the Company to proceed with initiating a pivotal clinical trial for AR101 in VEDS. The PREVEnt Trial will assess the safety and efficacy of enzastaurin in COL3A1-confirmed VEDS patients. Healight In April 2020, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to secure worldwide rights to various potential esophageal and nasopharyngeal uses of Healight, an investigational medical device platform technology. Healight has demonstrated safety and efficacy in a proof-of-concept clinical study in SARS-CoV-2 patients, and the Company plans to advance this technology to further assess its safety and efficacy in additional randomized, controlled human studies, initially focused on SARS-CoV-2 patients. The agreement with Cedars-Sinai grants the Company a license to all patent and development related technology rights for the intra-corporeal therapeutic use of ultraviolet light in the field of endotracheal and nasopharyngeal applications. The term of the agreement is on a country-by-country basis and will expire on the latest of the date upon which the last to expire valid claim shall expire, ten years after the first bona fide commercial sale of such licensed product in a country, or the expiration of any market exclusivity period granted by a regulatory agency. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company paid an initial $0.3 million license fee and approximately $0.1 million in earlier patent prosecution fees. On November 23, 2021 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued a U.S. patent for the Healight ultraviolet-A light-based respiratory catheter to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The U.S. Patent Number 11,179,575, titled “Internal Ultraviolet Therapy,” is the first issued patent protecting the Healight investigational device and covers methods of treating a patient for an infectious condition inside the patient's body through the insertion of a UV-light-emitting delivery tube inside a respiratory cavity of the patient at specific UV-A light wavelengths.
