Net cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and consisted primarily of a net loss of $3.8 million, capitalized debt discount of $13 thousand and a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.6 million.

Cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $154 thousand were primarily due to $78 thousand increase in collaboration revenue receivable and $379 thousand decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. These cash outflows were partially offset by a decreases of $55 thousand in royalty receivables, $67 thousand in income tax receivable, $394 thousand in accrued interest and $44 thousand in prepaid expenses and other current assets and increases of $18 thousand in other current liabilities.
