6) | IN-PROCESS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT AND GOODWILL
In 2018, the Company acquired IRX Therapeutics (“IRX”), which was accounted for as a business combination. The Company recorded IPR&D in the amount of $6.0 million, which represented the fair value assigned to technologies that were acquired in connection with the IRX acquisition and which have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IPR&D assets acquired in a business combination are considered to be indefinite lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs upon regulatory approval, and the Company is able to commercialize products associated with the IPR&D assets, these assets are then deemed definite-lived and are amortized based on their estimated useful lives beginning at that point in time. If development is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full or partial impairment charge related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of carrying value of the IPR&D assets over fair value. The Company also recorded goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million related to the IRX acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite-lived IPR&D assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying values. In June 2022, the Company received results from the INSPIRE phase 2 trial of IRX-2, a multi-cytokine biologic immunotherapy, in patients with newly diagnosed stage II, III or IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The IRX-2 multi-cytokine biologic immunotherapy represents substantially all the fair value assigned to the technologies of IRX that the Company acquired. Despite outcomes that favored IRX-2 in certain predefined subgroups, the INSPIRE trial did not meet the primary endpoint of Event-Free Survival (at two years of follow up). Significant additional clinical development work would be required to advance IRX-2 in the form of additional Phase 2 and 3 studies to further evaluate the treatment effect of IRX-2 in patient subgroups and in combination with checkpoint inhibitor therapies. The INSPIRE trial was the only Company-sponsored study of IRX-2. IRX-2 has been studied externally in other clinical settings outside of head and neck cancer in the form of investigator sponsored trials, which have either ended or are not currently active. Based on the totality of available information, the Company currently does not have plans to further develop the IRX-2 product candidate. As such, the Company determined that the carrying value of the IPR&D asset was impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $6.0 million on the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the second quarter of 2022, which reduced the value of the asset to zero. As of September 30, 2022, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying value of goodwill. Such qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant events. As a result of the decline in the Company’s stock price from $10.40 per share as of June 30, 2022 to $4.94 per share as of September 30, 2022, the Company determined that there were indications of impairment. Accordingly, the Company proceeded to the first step in the quantitative assessment of impairment and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount of goodwill, and therefore, the goodwill was not impaired as of September 30, 2022.
