Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Operations Overview
Research and Development Expenses, page 132
1.We acknowledge your statement that you do not track all of our internal research and
development expenses on a program-by-program basis. In future filings, please quantify
your internal research and development costs separately from the external costs incurred,
and provide a further breakdown for each category. For example, you could provide a
breakdown of your internal costs by nature of the expense incurred, and could disclose a
breakdown of your external costs for each ongoing major clinical trial, instead of, or in
addition to a breakdown by program area. Explain to us and revise your disclosures to
clarify how the cost sharing arrangements with your collaboration partners, such as Pfizer,
are recorded and reported in your financial statements, or direct us to existing disclosure.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue, page F-10
2.We note that you recognize revenues from several research collaboration and license
agreements, and that such revenues are recognized on either a straight-line basis over the
estimated performance period under the arrangement or over the estimated performance
period based on your best estimate of costs to be incurred. We also note that your
revenues could represent amounts from up front fees, option fees, research funding fees,
milestone payments, or royalties. Please explain to us your consideration of
providing disaggregated revenue disclosures into categories that enable the users of your
financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from your contracts with customers. Please refer to the
guidance in ASC 606-10-50-5 and ASC 606-10-55-89 through 91 in your response.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Ibolya Ignat at 202-551-3636 or Daniel Gordon at 202-551-3486 with any
questions.
Sincerely,
