+Added: The standard adds unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service)
+Added: when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606,

−Removed: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
−Removed: 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes FASB Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors.
−Removed: The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee.
−Removed: This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.
−Removed: A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of classification.

−Removed: Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement.
−Removed: Upon the adoption of the guidance, operating leases are capitalized on the balance sheet at the present value of lease payments.
−Removed: The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 was calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption.
−Removed: The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, including several practical expedients on April 1, 2019.
−Removed: The Company elected the available package of practical expedients, which allows the Company to not reassess previous accounting conclusions around whether arrangements are or contain leases, the classification of leases, and the treatment of initial direct costs.
−Removed: The Company also made an accounting policy election to utilize the short-term lease exemption, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less will not follow the recognition and measurement requirements of the new standard.
−Removed: Upon adoption, the Company recognized total right-of-use assets of $789, with corresponding liabilities of $837 on the consolidated balance sheets.

−Removed: We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to applying our leading expertise in the field of oncolytic immunotherapy to transform the lives of cancer patients.
−Removed: We use our proprietary Immulytic platform to design and develop product candidates that are intended to maximally activate the immune system against cancer.
−Removed: Oncolytic immunotherapy, which we intend to establish as the fourth cornerstone of cancer treatment, is an emerging class of cancer treatment that exploits the ability of certain viruses to selectively replicate in and directly kill tumors, as well as induce a potent, patient-specific, anti-tumor immune response.
−Removed: Such oncolytic, or cancer killing, viruses have the potential to generate an immune response targeted to an individual patients particular set of tumor antigens, including neo-antigens that are uniquely present in tumors.
−Removed: Our product candidates incorporate multiple mechanisms of action into a practical off-the-shelf approach that is intended to maximize the immune response against a patients cancer and to offer significant advantages over personalized vaccine approaches.
−Removed: We believe that the bundling of multiple approaches for the treatment of cancer into single therapies will simplify the development path of our product candidates, while also improving patient outcomes at a lower cost to the healthcare system than the use of multiple different drugs.
−Removed: The foundation of our Immulytic platform consists of a proprietary, engineered strain of herpes simplex virus 1, or HSV-1, that has been armed with a fusogenic protein intended to substantially increase anti-tumor activity.
−Removed: Our platform enables us to incorporate various genes whose expression is intended to augment the inherent properties of HSV-1 to both directly destroy tumor cells and induce an anti-tumor immune response.
−Removed: We believe our lead product candidate, RP1, will be effective at killing tumors and inducing immunogenic, or immune-stimulating, tumor cell death and that it will be highly synergistic with immune checkpoint blockade therapies.
−Removed: We are conducting a Phase 1/2 clinical trial with RP1, our lead product candidate, in approximately 150 patients.
−Removed: We have completed enrollment of the Phase 1 dose escalation part of this clinical trial in which we assessed the safety and tolerability of RP1 administered alone in 22 patients with mixed advanced solid tumor types.
−Removed: Following the review of the data by the Safety Review Committee, or SRC, we have determined the dose regimen to be administered in the Phase 2 part of this clinical trial.
−Removed: We have also completed enrollment of the Phase 1 expansion cohort of 14 patients in which we assessed the safety and tolerability of RP1 administered in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy at the determined Phase 2 dose level.
−Removed: On November 8, 2019, we presented the safety and initial efficacy data from the Phase 1 portion of this clinical trial at The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer, or SITC, including what we believe to be encouraging efficacy data in RP1s lead indications of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, or CSCC, and melanoma.
−Removed: The Phase 2 part of this clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of RP1 in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy in four cohorts of approximately 30 patients with melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancers, bladder cancer and MSI-H/dMMR tumors.
−Removed: Following SRC review of the Phase 1 data to date, including data from the expansion cohort receiving RP1 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy, we have opened enrollment in all four cohorts, and completed enrollment in the melanoma cohort.
−Removed: In the Phase 2 part of the clinical trial, we are also evaluating efficacy as well as safety under the clinical trial protocol, primarily on the basis of the proportion of patients who respond within each tumor type cohort.
−Removed: In January 2020 we announced our intention to open a further cohort of 125 patients with anti-PD1 refractory melanoma in this clinical trial, which we believe to be potentially registrationable (in its own right or, subject to discussion with regulatory authorities, following enrollment of additional patients).
−Removed: We believe that the initial clinical data in this patient group with RP1 combined with nivolumab as presented at SITC in November 2019 was encouraging and resulted in our decision to open this further cohort.
−Removed: We expect to present data from the competed melanoma cohort (which includes uveal and mucosal melanoma patients
−Removed: in addition to cutaneous melanoma) and further data from the non-melanoma skin cancer cohort in mid-2020.
−Removed: Further, we expect to present data from the initial patients recruited into the bladder and MSI-H/dMMR cohorts in the fourth quarter of 2020.
−Removed: This Phase 1/2 clinical trial is being conducted as a collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, or BMS, under which it has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to, and is supplying at no cost, its anti-PD-1 therapy, nivolumab, for use in combination with RP1 in this clinical trial.
−Removed: We have also entered into a collaboration agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Regeneron, under which we intend to conduct clinical development of our product candidates in combination with cemiplimab, an anti-PD-1 therapy developed by Regeneron.
−Removed: For each clinical trial conducted under this collaboration, Regeneron will fund one-half of the clinical trial costs, supply cemiplimab at no cost, and grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to cemiplimab for use in the applicable clinical trial.
−Removed: The first clinical trial under this collaboration is a randomized, controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of RP1 in combination with cemiplimab, versus cemiplimab alone, in approximately 240 patients in CSCC.
−Removed: This clinical trial is currently underway in the United States and Australia.
−Removed: We recently disclosed what we believe to be encouraging initial data in this indication from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial being conducted in combination with nivolumab.
−Removed: If compelling clinical data are generated demonstrating the benefits of the combined treatment in this clinical trial, we believe the data from this Phase 2 clinical trial could support a filing with regulatory authorities for marketing approval.
−Removed: Recruitment into this controlled Phase 2 clinical trial is expected to take approximately eighteen to twenty four months and we expect the primary readout from the clinical trial in 2022.
−Removed: After assessing the initial data from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial which we presented at SITC, we recently announced our intention to initiate an additional Phase 1b clinical trial of single agent RP1 in solid organ transplant recipients with CSCC in the first quarter of 2020 which we believe to be potentially registrationable (in its own right or, subject to discussion with regulatory authorities, following enrollment of additional patients).
−Removed: We intend to enroll approximately 30 patients in this clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of RP1 in liver and kidney transplant recipients with recurrent CSCC.
−Removed: The protocol for this clinical trial has been accepted by the Federal Drug Administration, or FDA, and added to our Investigational New Drug application, or IND.
−Removed: We are also developing additional product candidates, RP2 and RP3, built on our Immulytic platform, that are further engineered to enhance anti-tumor immune responses and intended to address additional tumor types.
−Removed: RP2 has been engineered to express an antibody-like molecule that blocks the activity of CTLA-4, a protein that inhibits the immune response to tumors.
−Removed: RP3 is engineered with the intent of not only blocking the activity of CTLA-4, but also to further stimulate an anti-tumor response through activation of the immune co-stimulatory pathways through expression of the ligands for CD40 and 4-1BB.
−Removed: We initiated the Phase 1 clinical trial with RP2 in October 2019.
−Removed: The Phase 1 clinical trial of RP2 is also being conducted as a collaboration with BMS, under which BMS has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to, and will supply at no cost, nivolumab, for use in combination with RP2.
−Removed: We expect to release initial data from this Phase 1 clinical trial in the second half of 2020.
−Removed: We intend to file an IND and/or foreign equivalents for RP3 and, assuming regulatory clearance, enter clinical development during 2020.
−Removed: IND/foreign equivalent enabling studies are currently underway.

Recent Developments
−Removed: As announced at SITC, the Phase 1 part of our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of RP1 enrolled 36 patients with advanced heavily pre-treated cancers who were refractory to available therapy.
−Removed: Treatment with RP1 alone was given up to five times at various dose levels injected into a single tumor to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (N=22), following which RP1 was given up to eight times at the recommended dose in combination with nivolumab starting with the second dose of RP1 (N=14).
−Removed: Based on the data, which we believe showed a favorable safety profile for both RP1 alone and in combination with nivolumab, the RP1 dosing regimen moved forward into Phase 2 development with an initial dose of up to 10mL of 1x10 6 pfu/ml followed by subsequent doses of up to 10mL of 1x10 7 pfu/ml.
−Removed: In the dose rising monotherapy part of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial, as announced at SITC, RP1 was associated with tumor destruction, including delayed systemic post-study tumor reduction of uninjected tumors without further therapy.
−Removed: In the combination portion of the Phase 1 part of the clinical trial, evidence of anti-tumor activity was observed in multiple patients with a variety of tumor types, particularly in CSCC and melanoma, but also in microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer patients.
−Removed: Additionally, the first three of four patients with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 refractory cutaneous melanoma treated with RP1 combined with nivolumab, two from the Phase 1 part of the clinical trial and one from the Phase 2 part of the clinical trial, were observed to be responding to therapy, and clinical activity had been seen in four of the first five patients treated with CSCC.
−Removed: Of what we believe to be of particular note, substantial tumor reduction was observed in a number of patients after just the first dose of RP1, but before the introduction of nivolumab two weeks later, and multiple examples of responses of uninjected tumors were seen.
−Removed: We also announced that biomarker data further confirmed the mechanism of action of RP1 alone and in combination with nivolumab, suggesting that RP1 provides broad anti-tumor immune activation.
−Removed: These biomarkers included assessment of the levels of CD8+T cells and PD-L1, increases of which were observed in serial tumor biopsies across tumor types.
−Removed: The kinetics of virus detection also suggested that robust virus replication in tumors occurs.
−Removed: Further, we have completed the build-out of, and obtained an occupancy certificate with respect to, our approximately 63,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Framingham, Massachusetts and expect that the facility will be operational in the first half of 2020.
−Removed: On January 8, 2020, our board of directors approved the appointment of Philip Astley-Sparke as our chief executive officer in place of Dr.
−Removed: Robert Coffin, who elected to transition from the role of chief executive officer to the role of President and Chief Research and Development Officer.
+Added: During the quarter ended June 30, 2020,
+Added: we announced interim data from the Phase 2 part of our Phase 1/2 clinical trial of RP1 in which we are assessing the safety and
+Added: efficacy of RP1 in combination with nivolumab in cohorts of approximately 30 patients.
+Added: We announced that four of seven evaluable
+Added: CSCC patients in the 30-patient non-melanoma skin cancer cohort have ongoing complete responses and six of the seven evaluable
+Added: patients have either an ongoing complete response or an ongoing partial response.
+Added: We continue to believe this interim data demonstrates
+Added: that RP1 in combination with nivolumab is well-tolerated, demonstrates immune activation and continues to drive deep and durable
+Added: responses in patients with CSCC.
+Added: Of particular note, we observed clear differentiation in the number of complete responses in patients
+Added: with advanced CSCC who were treated with RP1 in combination with nivolumab as compared to the number of complete responses which
+Added: we believe would be expected in patients if they were treated with nivolumab alone.
+Added: We have enrolled and treated 36 melanoma
+Added: patients, including the six melanoma patients enrolled into the Phase 1 expansion cohort of RP1 combined with nivolumab.
+Added: with anti-PD-1 refractory cutaneous melanoma have been treated as have an additional 20 patients with anti-PD-1 naïve cutaneous
+Added: melanoma, uveal melanoma (all anti-PD-1 refractory), and mucosal melanoma (anti-PD-1 naïve or refractory).
+Added: Five of the 16
+Added: anti-PD-1 refractory cutaneous melanoma patients at the data cut-off date met the formal definition of response, with an additional
+Added: two patients remaining on treatment with the opportunity for response.
+Added: Accordingly, we will observe a final response rate from
+Added: this cohort of at least 31%.
+Added: Four of eight anti-PD-1 naïve cutaneous melanoma patients met the formal definition of response
+Added: at the data cut-off date, with an additional two patients continuing on treatment with the opportunity for response.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: two of the six mucosal melanoma patients met the formal definition of response at the data cut-off date, and two of the six uveal
+Added: melanoma patients are on study with the opportunity of response, with one such uveal melanoma patient demonstrating a 27.3% reduction
+Added: in target disease burden as of the last CT scan in April 2020.

+Added: We expect to continue to take actions as may be required
+Added: or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, the patients we serve and
+Added: other business partners in light of COVID-19.
+Added: The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed, and we expect it may continue to delay, the timing
+Added: of patient enrollment and treatment in certain of our ongoing clinical studies.
+Added: For example, the enrollment of our clinical trial
+Added: of RP1 in solid organ transplant patients with CSCC, representing a highly immunocompromised patient populations, has been slower
+Added: than expected for reasons we attribute to the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: However, the extent of such delay is currently unknown and has
+Added: and will likely continue to vary by clinical study site.
+Added: In addition, we may incur unforeseen costs as a result of disruptions
+Added: in clinical supply or preclinical study or clinical trial delays.
+Added: The impact of COVID-19 on our business future results will largely
+Added: depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic
+Added: spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries,
+Added: business closures or business disruptions, the ultimate impact on financial markets and the global economy, and the effectiveness
+Added: of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

+Added: combination with cemiplimab, an anti-PD-1 therapy developed by Regeneron, across multiple solid tumor types, the first of which
+Added: is our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial testing RP1 in combination with cemiplimab versus cemiplimab alone in patients with
+Added: Each clinical trial will be conducted pursuant to an agreed study plan which, among other things, will identify the name
+Added: of the sponsor and which party will manage the particular study, and include the protocol, the budget and a schedule of clinical
+Added: The first study plan related to the Phase 2 clinical trial in CSCC has been agreed.
+Added: Pursuant to the terms of the agreement,
+Added: each party granted the other party a non-exclusive license of their respective intellectual property and agreed to contribute the
+Added: necessary resources needed to fulfill their respective obligations, in each case, under the terms of agreed study plans.
+Added: costs of a particular clinical trial will be split equally.
+Added: The agreement contains representations, warranties, undertakings and
+Added: indemnities customary for a transaction of this nature.
+Added: The agreement also contains certain covenants that restrict us from entering
+Added: into a third-party arrangement with respect to the use of our product candidates in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy and that
+Added: restrict Regeneron from entering into a third-party arrangement with respect to the use of cemiplimab in combination with an HSV-1
+Added: virus, in each case, for the treatment of a tumor type that is the subject of a clinical trial to which the covenants apply.

+Added: Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and
+Added: Our management’s discussion and analysis
+Added: of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
+Added: accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
+Added: The preparation of our consolidated financial statements
+Added: and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
+Added: costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the
+Added: circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
+Added: are not readily apparent from other sources.
+Added: We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
+Added: Our actual results
+Added: may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
+Added: While our significant accounting policies
+Added: are described in greater detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report
+Added: Form on 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used
+Added: in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Accrued research and
+Added: development expenses
+Added: As part of the process of preparing our
+Added: consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses.
+Added: This process involves
+Added: reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our personnel to identify services that have been performed on
+Added: our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet
+Added: been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual costs.
+Added: The majority of our service providers invoice us in arrears for services performed,
+Added: on a pre-determined schedule or when contractual milestones are met;
+Added: however, some require advanced payments.
+Added: We make estimates
+Added: of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances
+Added: known to us at that time.
+Added: Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees paid to:
+Added: ● CROs in connection with performing research activities and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf;
+Added: ● CMOs in connection with the production of preclinical and clinical trial materials;
+Added: ● investigative sites or other service providers in connection with clinical trials;
+Added: ● vendors in connection with preclinical and clinical development activities;
+Added: ● vendors related to product manufacturing and development and distribution of preclinical and clinical supplies.
+Added: We base our expenses related to preclinical
+Added: studies and clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with
+Added: multiple CMOs and CROs that supply, conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf.
+Added: The financial terms
+Added: of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows.
+Added: be instances in which payments made to our vendors will exceed the level of services provided and result in a prepayment of the
+Added: Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion
+Added: of clinical trial milestones.
+Added: In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the
+Added: level of effort to be expended in each period.
+Added: If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies
+Added: from the estimate, we adjust the accrual or the amount of prepaid expenses accordingly.
+Added: Although we do not expect our estimates
+Added: to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative
+Added: to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low
+Added: in any particular period.
+Added: To date, there have not been any material adjustments to our prior estimates of accrued research and
+Added: development expenses.
Stock-based compensation
−Removed: Accordingly, we believe the policies set forth above are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: If actual results or events differ materially from the estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
−Removed: There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2019.
+Added: We measure stock-based awards granted to
+Added: employees and directors based on their fair value on the date of the grant and recognize compensation expense for those awards
+Added: over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
+Added: We have to date only issued stock-based
+Added: awards with service-based vesting conditions and record the expense for these awards using the straight-line method.
+Added: The fair value
+Added: of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires inputs
+Added: based on certain subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the option, the risk-free
+Added: interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and our expected dividend yield.
+Added: to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
+Added: are accounted for as they occur.
+Added: The fair value of each stock-based award is estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value
+Added: of our common stock on that same date.
+Added: Prior to the adoption of ASC 2018-07 on
+Added: April 1, 2019, for stock-based awards granted to consultants and non-employees, we recognize compensation expense over the
+Added: period during which services are rendered by such non-employees and consultants until completed.
+Added: At the end of each financial reporting
+Added: period prior to completion of the service, the fair value of these awards is remeasured using the then-current fair value of our
+Added: common stock and updated assumption inputs in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
+Added: After the adoption of ASC 2018-07, for stock-based
+Added: awards granted to consultants and non-employees, we measure stock-based these awards based on their fair value on the date of the
+Added: grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period
+Added: of the respective award.
+Added: We have to date only issued stock-based awards with service-based vesting conditions and record the expense
+Added: for these awards using the straight-line method.

+Added: price volatility, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term
+Added: of the option, and our expected dividend yield.
+Added: We classify stock-based compensation expense
+Added: in our consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified
+Added: or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

+Added: Emerging growth company status
+Added: As an “emerging growth company,”
+Added: the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 permits us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new
+Added: or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
+Added: We have irrevocably elected to “opt out”
+Added: of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting
+Added: standards when they are required to be adopted by public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
