Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	5. Principles of consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and expenses of Sun BioPharma, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Beneficial c onversion f eature For convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below fair market value for our common stock, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount which is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. Debt issuance costs Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the related debt. Research and development costs Research and development costs include expenses incurred in the conduct of our Phase 1 third 101 101 We charge research and development costs, including clinical trial costs, to expense when incurred. Our human clinical trials are, and will be, performed at clinical trial sites and are administered jointly by us with assistance from contract research organizations (“CROs”). Costs of setting up clinical trial sites are accrued upon execution of the study agreement. Expenses related to the performance of clinical trials generally are accrued based on contracted amounts and the achievement of agreed upon milestones, such as patient enrollment, patient follow-up, etc. We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the clinical trial sites and CROs, and adjust the estimates, if required, on a quarterly basis so that clinical expenses reflect the actual effort expended at each clinical trial site and by each CRO. All material CRO contracts are terminable by us upon written notice and we are generally only liable for actual effort expended by the CROs and certain non-cancelable expenses incurred at any point of termination We expense costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no Share-based compensation In accounting for share-based incentive awards we measure and recognize the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, which represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. The performance date for non-employee awards is generally not The fair value of share-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Risk free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of each award. Expected volatility rates are based primarily on the volatility rates of a set of guideline companies, which consist of public and recently public biotechnology companies. The assumed dividend yield is zero, as we do not Foreign currency translation adjustments The functional currency of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian Dollar (“AUD”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities, and equity transactions of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss presented within the stockholders’ deficit. During the three six June 30, 2017 2016, Grant Income Grant income is derived from a one $225,000 101 Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss consists of our net loss and the effects of foreign currency translation. Net loss per share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares calculated using the treasury stock method. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be anti-dilutive, or reduce a net loss per share. The Company’s potential dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options and warrants, have not The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net loss $ (1,414 ) $ (978 ) $ (6,988 ) $ (1,799 ) Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted 36,623,132 30,126,755 34,412,064 30,058,942 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.03 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.06 ) The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that were not Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Employee and non-employee stock options 6,839,600 3,163,600 6,839,600 3,163,600 Common shares issuable upon conversion of notes payable and accrued interest 3,102,872 2,466,667 3,102,872 2,466,667 Common shares issuable under common stock purchase warrants 3,515,500 3,525,500 3,515,500 3,525,500	4. Basis of p resentation We have prepared the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Principles of consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities and expenses of Sun BioPharma, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of c redit r isk Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited in demand accounts at commercial banks. At times, such deposits may not Debt issuance costs Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt agreements and are included in interest expense. The unamortized balance of debt issuance costs is presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Research and development costs Research and development costs include expenses incurred in the conduct of our Phase 1 third 101 101 ; personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation; and costs to license and maintain our licensed intellectual property. During 2016, 1 101. We charge research and development costs, including clinical trial costs, to expense when incurred. Our human clinical trials are, and will be, performed at clinical trial sites and are administered jointly by us with assistance from contract research organizations (“CROs”). Costs of setting up clinical trial sites are accrued upon execution of the study agreement. Expenses related to the performance of clinical trials generally are accrued based on contracted amounts and the achievement of agreed upon milestones, such as patient enrollment, patient follow-up, etc. We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the clinical trial sites and CROs, and adjust the estimates, if required, on a quarterly basis so that clinical expenses reflect the actual effort expended at each clinical trial site and by each CRO. We expense costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no Fair value determination of the company’s common stock Prior to becoming a public company, determining the fair value per share or our common stock for use in estimating the fair values of share based payments required making complex and subjective judgments. The Company used the implied valuations based upon the terms from our sales of convertible notes payable to estimate our enterprise value for the dates on which these transactions occurred. The estimated enterprise values considered certain discounts related to control and lack of marketability. Our Board of Directors also considered the estimated fair value of our common stock in relation to a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry sector. Our board of directors also retained an independent financial valuation firm to provide independent estimates of our enterprise value. Until an active trading market develops for our common stock, estimating the fair value per share of our common stock will continue to be highly subjective. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates. S tock -based compensation In accounting for stock-based incentive awards we measure and recognize the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. We estimate pre-vesting award forfeitures when calculating the compensation costs and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense for performance-based stock option awards is recognized when “performance” has occurred or is probable of occurring. The fair value of stock-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Risk free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of each award. Expected volatility rates are based primarily on the volatility rates of a set of guideline companies, which consist of public and recently public biotechnology companies. The assumed dividend yield is zero, as we do not Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the Consolidated Financial Statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not December 31, 2016 2015. 10 Foreign c urrency t ranslation The functional currency of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian Dollar (“AUD”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities, and equity transactions of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive gain in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the years ended December 31, 2016 2015, Comprehensive l oss Comprehensive loss consists of our net loss and the effects of foreign currency translation. Net l oss per s hare We compute net loss per share by dividing our net loss (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period, if any, are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share, or EPS, is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Our diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS due to common equivalent shares being excluded from the calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes our calculation of net loss per common share for the periods (in thousands, except share and per share data): December 31, 2016 201 5 Net loss $ (5,112 ) $ (4,927 ) Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted 31,068,765 14,073,174 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (0.16 ) $ (0.35 ) The following outstanding potential common shares were not not Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Employee and non-employee stock options 7,019,600 3,463,600 Estimated common shares issuable upon conversion of notes payable 2,466,667 2,466,667 Common shares issuable under common stock purchase warrants 3,615,000 2,550,000 13,101,267 8,480,267 Recently adopted accounting pronouncement In April 2015, No. 2015 03, 835 30 2016, not Recently issued accounting pronouncement s In February 2016, No. 2016 02, 2016 02 840, 2016 02 2016 02 December 15, 2018, not 2016 02 In March 2016, No. 2016 09, 2016 09 December 15, 2016, not 2016 09

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	5. Principles of consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and expenses of Sun BioPharma, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Beneficial c onversion f eature For convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below fair market value for our common stock, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount which is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. Debt issuance costs Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the related debt. Research and development costs Research and development costs include expenses incurred in the conduct of our Phase 1 third 101 101 We charge research and development costs, including clinical trial costs, to expense when incurred. Our human clinical trials are, and will be, performed at clinical trial sites and are administered jointly by us with assistance from contract research organizations (“CROs”). Costs of setting up clinical trial sites are accrued upon execution of the study agreement. Expenses related to the performance of clinical trials generally are accrued based on contracted amounts and the achievement of agreed upon milestones, such as patient enrollment, patient follow-up, etc. We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the clinical trial sites and CROs, and adjust the estimates, if required, on a quarterly basis so that clinical expenses reflect the actual effort expended at each clinical trial site and by each CRO. All material CRO contracts are terminable by us upon written notice and we are generally only liable for actual effort expended by the CROs and certain non-cancelable expenses incurred at any point of termination We expense costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no Share-based compensation In accounting for share-based incentive awards we measure and recognize the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, which represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. The performance date for non-employee awards is generally not The fair value of share-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Risk free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of each award. Expected volatility rates are based primarily on the volatility rates of a set of guideline companies, which consist of public and recently public biotechnology companies. The assumed dividend yield is zero, as we do not Foreign currency translation adjustments The functional currency of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian Dollar (“AUD”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities, and equity transactions of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss presented within the stockholders’ deficit. During the three six June 30, 2017 2016, Grant Income Grant income is derived from a one $225,000 101 Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss consists of our net loss and the effects of foreign currency translation. Net loss per share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares calculated using the treasury stock method. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be anti-dilutive, or reduce a net loss per share. The Company’s potential dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options and warrants, have not The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net loss $ (1,414 ) $ (978 ) $ (6,988 ) $ (1,799 ) Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted 36,623,132 30,126,755 34,412,064 30,058,942 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.03 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.06 ) The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that were not Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Employee and non-employee stock options 6,839,600 3,163,600 6,839,600 3,163,600 Common shares issuable upon conversion of notes payable and accrued interest 3,102,872 2,466,667 3,102,872 2,466,667 Common shares issuable under common stock purchase warrants 3,515,500 3,525,500 3,515,500 3,525,500	4. Basis of p resentation We have prepared the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Principles of consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities and expenses of Sun BioPharma, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of c redit r isk Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited in demand accounts at commercial banks. At times, such deposits may not Debt issuance costs Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt agreements and are included in interest expense. The unamortized balance of debt issuance costs is presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Research and development costs Research and development costs include expenses incurred in the conduct of our Phase 1 third 101 101 ; personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation; and costs to license and maintain our licensed intellectual property. During 2016, 1 101. We charge research and development costs, including clinical trial costs, to expense when incurred. Our human clinical trials are, and will be, performed at clinical trial sites and are administered jointly by us with assistance from contract research organizations (“CROs”). Costs of setting up clinical trial sites are accrued upon execution of the study agreement. Expenses related to the performance of clinical trials generally are accrued based on contracted amounts and the achievement of agreed upon milestones, such as patient enrollment, patient follow-up, etc. We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the clinical trial sites and CROs, and adjust the estimates, if required, on a quarterly basis so that clinical expenses reflect the actual effort expended at each clinical trial site and by each CRO. We expense costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no Fair value determination of the company’s common stock Prior to becoming a public company, determining the fair value per share or our common stock for use in estimating the fair values of share based payments required making complex and subjective judgments. The Company used the implied valuations based upon the terms from our sales of convertible notes payable to estimate our enterprise value for the dates on which these transactions occurred. The estimated enterprise values considered certain discounts related to control and lack of marketability. Our Board of Directors also considered the estimated fair value of our common stock in relation to a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry sector. Our board of directors also retained an independent financial valuation firm to provide independent estimates of our enterprise value. Until an active trading market develops for our common stock, estimating the fair value per share of our common stock will continue to be highly subjective. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates. S tock -based compensation In accounting for stock-based incentive awards we measure and recognize the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. We estimate pre-vesting award forfeitures when calculating the compensation costs and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense for performance-based stock option awards is recognized when “performance” has occurred or is probable of occurring. The fair value of stock-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Risk free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of each award. Expected volatility rates are based primarily on the volatility rates of a set of guideline companies, which consist of public and recently public biotechnology companies. The assumed dividend yield is zero, as we do not Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the Consolidated Financial Statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not December 31, 2016 2015. 10 Foreign c urrency t ranslation The functional currency of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian Dollar (“AUD”). Accordingly, assets and liabilities, and equity transactions of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive gain in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the years ended December 31, 2016 2015, Comprehensive l oss Comprehensive loss consists of our net loss and the effects of foreign currency translation. Net l oss per s hare We compute net loss per share by dividing our net loss (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period, if any, are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share, or EPS, is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Our diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS due to common equivalent shares being excluded from the calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Net loss per share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares calculated using the treasury stock method. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be anti-dilutive, or reduce a net loss per share. The Company’s potential dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options and warrants, have not The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net loss $ (1,414 ) $ (978 ) $ (6,988 ) $ (1,799 ) Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted 36,623,132 30,126,755 34,412,064 30,058,942 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.03 ) $ (0.20 ) $ (0.06 ) The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that were not Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Employee and non-employee stock options 6,839,600 3,163,600 6,839,600 3,163,600 Common shares issuable upon conversion of notes payable and accrued interest 3,102,872 2,466,667 3,102,872 2,466,667 Common shares issuable under common stock purchase warrants 3,515,500 3,525,500 3,515,500 3,525,500	Net l oss per s hare We compute net loss per share by dividing our net loss (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period, if any, are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share, or EPS, is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Our diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS due to common equivalent shares being excluded from the calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Beneficial Conversion Feature, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Beneficial c onversion f eature For convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below fair market value for our common stock, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount which is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]		Concentration of c redit r isk Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited in demand accounts at commercial banks. At times, such deposits may not
Debt Issuance Costs [Policy Text Block]	Debt issuance costs Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the related debt.	Debt issuance costs Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt agreements and are included in interest expense. The unamortized balance of debt issuance costs is presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt.

Our human clinical trials are, and will be, performed at clinical trial sites and are administered jointly by us with assistance from contract research organizations (“CROs”). Costs of setting up clinical trial sites are accrued upon execution of the study agreement. Expenses related to the performance of clinical trials generally are accrued based on contracted amounts and the achievement of agreed upon milestones, such as patient enrollment, patient follow-up, etc. We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the clinical trial sites and CROs, and adjust the estimates, if required, on a quarterly basis so that clinical expenses reflect the actual effort expended at each clinical trial site and by each CRO. All material CRO contracts are terminable by us upon written notice and we are generally only liable for actual effort expended by the CROs and certain non-cancelable expenses incurred at any point of termination We expense costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no	Research and development costs Research and development costs include expenses incurred in the conduct of our Phase 1 third 101 101 ; personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation; and costs to license and maintain our licensed intellectual property.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]		Fair value determination of the company’s common stock Prior to becoming a public company, determining the fair value per share or our common stock for use in estimating the fair values of share based payments required making complex and subjective judgments. The Company used the implied valuations based upon the terms from our sales of convertible notes payable to estimate our enterprise value for the dates on which these transactions occurred. The estimated enterprise values considered certain discounts related to control and lack of marketability. Our Board of Directors also considered the estimated fair value of our common stock in relation to a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry sector. Our board of directors also retained an independent financial valuation firm to provide independent estimates of our enterprise value. Until an active trading market develops for our common stock, estimating the fair value per share of our common stock will continue to be highly subjective. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Share-based compensation In accounting for share-based incentive awards we measure and recognize the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, which represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. The performance date for non-employee awards is generally not The fair value of share-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards is affected by our stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Risk free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of each award. Expected volatility rates are based primarily on the volatility rates of a set of guideline companies, which consist of public and recently public biotechnology companies. The assumed dividend yield is zero, as we do not	S tock -based compensation In accounting for stock-based incentive awards we measure and recognize the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. We estimate pre-vesting award forfeitures when calculating the compensation costs and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]		Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the Consolidated Financial Statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not December 31, 2016 2015. 10
