Goodwill


In November 2018, the Company acquired IRX, which was accounted for as a business combination.  The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million related to the acquisition. The Company performed its annual qualitative assessment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and based on the assessments, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the entity exceeded its carrying value for such years and that the performance of the quantitative impairment test was not required.  Therefore, no impairment was required for any of the periods presented.


In-Process Research & Development



In 2018, 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 acquisition of IRX in November 2018 and which had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use.



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 its primary endpoint of event-free survival. 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.  Based on the totality of available information, the Company decided not to further develop IRX-2. 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 consolidated statement of operations during 2022, which reduced the value of the asset to zero.
