Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue RevenueIn July 2022, Avalo entered into a license agreement with Apollo AP43 Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo Therapeutics Group Limited (collectively, “Apollo”) pursuant to which the Company granted Apollo a worldwide, exclusive license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize AVTX-007, an anti-IL-18 monoclonal antibody (the “Apollo License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Apollo License Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $14.5 million, which was recognized as license revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Company generates substantially all of its product revenue from sales of Millipred®, an oral prednisolone indicated across a wide variety of inflammatory conditions, which is considered a prescription drug. The Company sells its prescription drug in the United States primarily through wholesale distributors. Wholesale distributors account for substantially all of the Company’s net product revenues and trade receivables. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s two largest customers accounted for approximately 65% and 35%, respectively, of the Company’s total net product revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s two largest customers accounted for approximately 72% and 28%, respectively, of the Company’s total net product revenues. Net revenue from sales of prescription drugs was $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.6 million and $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, deferred revenue was $0.4 million due to the receipt of payment from wholesale distributors related to product that had not yet been sold to the customer.

The Company has a license and supply agreement for the Millipred® product with a wholly owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”), which expires on September 30, 2023. Beginning July 1, 2021, Avalo was required to pay Teva fifty percent of the net profit of the Millipred® product following each calendar quarter, subject to a $0.5 million quarterly minimum payment unless total net profit is below a specified threshold. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in cost of product sales related to the royalty. Dr. Sol Barer served as the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors until June 2021 and currently serves as the Chairman of Teva’s board of directors.

Aytu BioScience, Inc. (“Aytu”), to which the Company sold its rights, title, and interests in assets relating to certain commercialized products in 2019 (the “Aytu Transaction”), managed Millipred® commercial operations until August 31, 2021 pursuant to transition service agreements, which included managing the third-party logistics provider and providing accounting reporting services. Aytu collected cash on behalf of Avalo for revenue generated by sales of Millipred® from the second quarter of 2020 through the third quarter of 2021 and is obligated to transfer cash generated by such sales to Avalo. In the third quarter of 2021, Avalo finalized its trade and distribution channel to allow it to control the third-party distribution and began managing Millipred® commercial operations at that time. The current transition services agreement allows Aytu to withhold cash of $2.0 million until September 30, 2022 and $1.0 million until December 2024. The Company received $2.2 million from Aytu in first quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the total receivable balance was approximately $1.8 million. As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022 (filed September 27, 2022), Aytu concluded that substantial doubt exists with respect to their ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements were issued, or until September 2023. As such, the Company fully reserved for the $1.0 million due in December 2024 and recognized the related expense in cost of product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining $0.8 million is included within other receivables and is contractually owed in the fourth quarter of 2022.
