Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (the "Company" or "Raptor") and have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of such date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Raptor is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing transformative treatments for people affected by rare and debilitating diseases. The Company's first commercial product, PROCYSBI® (cysteamine bitartrate) delayed-release capsules (“PROCYSBI”), received marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on April 30, 2013 for the management of nephropathic cystinosis in adults and children six years and older. On August 14, 2015, we received FDA approval for the expanded use of PROCYSBI to treat children two to six years of age with nephropathic cystinosis. In Europe, PROCYSBI® gastro-resistant hard capsules of cysteamine (as mercaptamine bitartrate), received marketing authorization on September 6, 2013 from the European Commission (“EC”), for marketing in the European Union (“EU”) as an orphan medicinal product for the management of proven nephropathic cystinosis. The EU marketing authorization allows the Company to commercialize PROCYSBI in the 28 Member States of the EU plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland (which are not EU Member States but are part of the European Economic Area or EEA). PROCYSBI received seven years of market exclusivity, through 2020 for patients six years and older as an orphan drug in the United States and ten years of market exclusivity, through 2023, as an orphan drug in Europe. More recently, PROCYSBI received orphan drug designation for the treatment of patients ages two years to six years, through 2022. The Company commenced commercial sales of PROCYSBI in the United States in June 2013 and in Europe in April 2014. To date, the Company's ability to generate revenue has been primarily dependent upon sales of PROCYSBI in the United States for the management of nephropathic cystinosis in adults and children two years and older and in the EU for the management of proven nephropathic cystinosis. In October 2015, the Company acquired various assets and rights related to levofloxacin solution for inhalation, a pharmaceutical product also known as “MP-376” and commercially as “QUINSAIR,” from Tripex Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Tripex”). QUINSAIR received marketing authorization by the EC for treating chronic lung infection caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa The Company is subject to a number of risks, including: the level of commercial sales of PROCYSBI in the United States and Europe; the ability to successfully launch PROCYSBI in other international markets; the ability to successfully commercialize QUINSAIR in Europe and to launch an commercialize QUINSAIR in Canada; uncertainty whether the Company's research and development efforts will result in expanded labeling for PROCYSBI and additional commercialization for RP103 or MP-376 in various indications or additional commercial products; competition from other organizations; reliance on other entities for manufacturing; reliance on licensing the proprietary technology of others; uncertain patent protection; and the need to raise capital through equity and/or debt financings. Funding may not be available when needed, if at all, or on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company exhausts its cash reserves and is unable to obtain adequate financing, it may be required to curtail planned operating expenditures, including its development programs. Basis of Presentation The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Raptor Pharmaceuticals Inc., formerly known as Raptor Therapeutics Inc. which merged with Raptor Discoveries Inc. in December 2012 prior to changing its name, and Raptor European Products, LLC, such subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware on August 1, 2007, and February 14, 2012, respectively, and Raptor Pharmaceuticals Europe B.V. (“BV”), Raptor Pharmaceuticals France SAS (“SAS”), Raptor Pharmaceuticals Germany GmbH (“GMBH”) and RPTP European Holdings C.V. (“CV”), domiciled in the Netherlands on December 15, 2009, in France on October 30, 2012, in Germany on October 16, 2013 and in the Cayman Islands on February 16, 2012, respectively. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Functional Currency The Company's consolidated functional currency is the U.S. dollar. BV, SAS, and GMBH, the Company's Dutch subsidiary, French subsidiary, and German Subsidiary, respectively, use the European Euro as their functional currency. The CV subsidiary, a Cayman-based subsidiary, uses the dollar as its functional currency. At each quarter end, each foreign subsidiary's balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars based upon the quarter-end exchange rate, while their statements of operations and comprehensive loss are translated into U.S. dollars based upon an average exchange rate during the period. Segment Information The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment, as it only reports profit and loss information on an aggregate basis to its chief operating decision maker. The Company's long-lived assets maintained outside the U.S. are not material. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Contingent Consideration Liability The carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and contingent consideration liability approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of achieving the specified milestones, changes in projected revenues or changes in discount rates. Significant judgment is employed in determining these assumptions as of the acquisition or consolidation date and for each subsequent period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period. Actual results may differ from estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, which consist principally of money market funds, with high credit quality financial institutions. Such amounts exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company had $124.2 million and $157.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $6.5 million and $6.9 million was held by its foreign subsidiaries, respectively. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents certificates of deposit and compensating balances required by the Company’s U.S. and European banks as collateral for credit cards and for access to a value-added tax deferral program. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. To date, the Company has not experienced significant losses with respect to the collection of accounts receivable. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company determines that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists based on written contracts that define the terms of the arrangements. Pursuant to the contract terms, the Company determines when title to products and associated risk of loss has passed on to the customer. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectability based primarily on the customer's payment history and creditworthiness. PROCYSBI is currently available for U.S. distribution from the Company's U.S. specialty pharmacy partner, the Accredo Health Group, Inc. ("Accredo") which is currently the Company's only U.S. customer and ships directly to patients. PROCYSBI is not available in U.S. retail pharmacies. Authorization of coverage by patients' commercial insurance plans, Raptor's patient assistance program ("PAP") or government payors is a prerequisite to the shipment of PROCYSBI to U.S. patients. The Company is able to reasonably estimate and determine sales allowances; therefore the Company recognizes PROCYSBI revenue in the United States at the point of sale to the specialty pharmacy. The Company's distributor of PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR in the EU is the Almac Group, Ltd. Revenue is currently recognized in the EU once confirmed orders from the pharmacies have been shipped and invoiced for payment by the distributor on the Company’s behalf. The Company records revenue net of expected discounts, distributor fees, and rebates, including government rebates such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States. Allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time product sales are recognized. Allowances for government rebates and discounts are established based on the actual payor and payor mix information, which is estimated based on historical claim levels in the United States and in Europe and the government-mandated discount rates applicable to government-funded programs. The allowances are adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that may impact such allowances in the quarter the changes are known. Inventories and Cost of Sales Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market price, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are reviewed periodically to identify slow-moving inventory based on sales activity, both projected and historical, as well as product shelf-life. Products that have been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities are also used in clinical programs, to assess the safety and efficacy of the products for usage in diseases or patients that have not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. The forms of PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR that are utilized for both commercial and clinical programs are identical and, as a result, the inventory has an “alternative future use” as defined in authoritative accounting guidance. Raw materials and purchased drug product associated with clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and/or no longer can be used for commercial purposes and, therefore, does not have an “alternative future use.” Cost of sales for both PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR includes the cost of inventory sold or reserved; manufacturing, manufacturing overhead and supply chain costs; inventory variance amortization; product shipping and handling costs; and amortization of licensing approval milestone payments and licensing royalties payable to the University of California, San Diego (“UCSD”) for PROCYSBI, and MPEX, TriPEX, and PARI for QUINSAIR. QUINSAIR is approved in the EU and Canada and marketing commenced in Germany and Denmark in April 2016. Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which mainly consist of leasehold improvements, office furniture, lab equipment and computer hardware and software, are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the related estimated useful lives, except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Significant additions and improvements that have useful lives estimated at greater than one year are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are related to purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) projects and are measured at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets related to IPR&D projects are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs if and when marketing approval is obtained, the associated assets are deemed finite-lived and are amortized based on their respective estimated useful lives at that point in time. The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and in between annual tests if any events or changes occur that would indicate the fair values of the assets are below their carrying amounts. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, and are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Common Stock Warrant Liabilities The Company previously issued common stock warrants that contained conditional obligations that may have required the Company to transfer cash to settle the warrants upon the occurrence of certain fundamental transactions. Therefore, the Company classified such warrants as liabilities. At each reporting period, the Company re-measured the common stock warrant liability at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At the exercise date, the fair values of these warrants were re-measured and reclassified to equity. As of December 31, 2015, all common stock warrants had been exercised or expired. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are expenses associated with the loan agreements with HealthCare Royalty Partners ("HC Royalty") and the convertible notes. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the respective debt to interest expense using the interest method. Debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction in the carrying amount of note payable and convertible debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding and potential shares of common stock during the period. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include: Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Warrants to purchase common stock — 236,812 Options to purchase common stock 9,282,701 9,231,283 Restricted stock unit awards outstanding 819,054 287,363 Convertible debt 3,428,571 3,428,571 Total Potentially Dilutive Securities 13,530,326 13,184,029 Stock-Based Compensation Compensation costs related to the Company's stock incentive plans are measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the equity instruments awarded and are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, or the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily include salaries and benefits for medical, clinical, regulatory, quality, pharmacovigilance and research personnel, preclinical studies, clinical trials, and certain commercial drug manufacturing expenses prior to obtaining marketing approval. Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Based on the weight of available evidence, including cumulative losses since inception and expected future losses, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset amount will not be realized and therefore a full valuation allowance has been provided on the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company identifies uncertain tax positions and discloses any potential tax liability on its financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, there were no accrued uncertain tax positions or interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files U.S. Federal, California, various other state and other income tax returns and various foreign country income tax returns. The Company is currently not subject to any income tax examinations. Due to the Company's net operating losses ("NOLs"), generally all tax years remain open. Reclassifications Certain amounts previously reported under specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Disclosure of Change in Accounting Policy and Retroactive Restatement Disclosure As Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs The Company has adopted this standard as management believes this presentation more accurately reflects the costs of borrowing for arrangements in which debt issuance costs are incurred. The implementation resulted in the decrease of assets and debt liabilities of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2015. Adoption of this standard only impacted the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015. See Notes 8 and 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information on the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's debt. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The standard’s core principle is that a reporting entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted in 2017. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 "Revenue From Contracts With Customers: Principal vs. Agent Considerations," ASU 2016-10 “Revenue From Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12 “Revenue From Contracts With Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” to provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This is part of FASB’s simplification initiative. The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The purpose is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is not permitted except for limited provisions. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Company uses a fair value approach to value certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels: · Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; · Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The following table presents the assets and liabilities recorded that are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis.

The determination of fair value as of the reporting date is affected by Raptor’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the security and risk-free interest rate. The primary factors affecting the fair value of the warrant liability are the Company’s stock price and volatility.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS On December 14, 2007, the Company acquired the intellectual property and other rights to develop RP103 to treat various clinical indications from UCSD by way of a merger with Encode Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately held development stage company ("Encode"), which held the intellectual property license with UCSD. The fair value of the intangible assets at the time of acquisition was approximately $2.6 million. Pursuant to the license agreement with UCSD, the Company is obligated to pay an annual maintenance fee until the commencement of commercial sales of any licensed products developed. The Company is also obligated to pay milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain events, royalties on net sales from products developed pursuant to the license agreement and a percentage of sublicense fees or royalties, if any. The Company is obligated to fulfill predetermined milestones within a specified number of years from the effective date of the license agreement, depending on the indication. To the extent that the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under the agreement, UCSD may terminate the license or otherwise cause the license to become non-exclusive. In April 2013, the Company announced that the FDA has approved PROCYSBI (cysteamine bitartrate) delayed release capsules for the management of nephropathic cystinosis in adults and children 6 years and older. Subsequently, the Company announced that the EC has approved PROCYSBI® gastro-resistant hard capsules of cysteamine (as mercaptamine bitartrate) as an orphan medicinal product for the management of proven nephropathic cystinosis for marketing in the EU. In conjunction with these approvals, the Company paid milestone payments to UCSD during the second and third quarters of 2013 of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, pursuant to this license, which were capitalized as intangible assets. In October 2015, the Company acquired the intellectual property and other rights to develop QUINSAIR for the management of chronic pulmonary infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa In addition, the purchase agreement provides for contingent payments of up to $350.0 million associated with development, regulatory and commercial milestones, a portion of which is also payable in Raptor common stock at the Company’s election, and a single digit royalty to Tripex on future global net sales. The Company has single-digit royalty and contingent obligations to each of two additional parties involved in QUINSAIR’s development. A summary of intangible assets acquired is as follows: Useful Life June 30, December 31, (In thousands) (Years) 2016 2015 IPR&D QUINSAIR Indefinite $ 171,000 $ 210,600 Developed technology - QUINSAIR 11.0 3,200 3,200 IP license for RP103 related to the Encode merger 20.0 2,620 2,620 UCSD license - FDA and EC approval milestones 14.0 1,250 1,250 Other intangible assets 16.0 240 240 Total intangible assets 178,310 217,910 Less accumulated amortization (1,712 ) (1,447 ) Intangible Assets, Net $ 176,598 $ 216,463 The intangible assets related to the QUINSAIR developed technology are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 11 years, which is the life of the intellectual property patents. The intangible assets related to RP103 are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 20 years, which is the life of the intellectual property patents. The 14 year estimated useful life for the FDA and EMA approval milestones is based upon the typical development, approval, marketing and life cycle management timelines of pharmaceutical drug products. Other intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 16 years, which is the life of the intellectual property patents. The above definite-lived intangibles do not have any residual value beyond the assets’ useful lives. The QUINSAIR IPR&D will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company concluded that there was no impairment to the QUINSAIR IPR&D as compared to the prior quarter ended March 31, 2016, when the Company recognized an impairment in the QUINSAIR IPR&D of $39.6 million related to revisions of its clinical plans (See Note 10). During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company amortized approximately $132 thousand and $60 thousand of intangible assets, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company amortized approximately $265 thousand and $119 thousand of intangible assets, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the next five years is expected to be as follows: (In thousands) Amortization Expense 2016 (remaining 6 months) $ 265 2017 529 2018 529 2019 529 2020 529 The Company tested the carrying value of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2015 and determined that there was no impairment.

The Company evaluates its historical rebate payments by product as a percentage of historical sales in order to estimate its accrued rebates in proportion to revenue. Management has determined that a one-year look back represents a reasonable approach for assessing its rebate liabilities, and as of June 30, 2016 believes that it has adequately reserved for known and potentially unknown incurred rebates. The Company accrued $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the estimated cost of prompt-payment discounts at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These amounts are estimated based upon payment terms with each of the Company’s customers. The Company considered the need for a reserve for possible product returns sold during the periods ended June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company determined an allowance of $0.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, was necessary for possible product returns from its distributor. These amounts are estimated based upon the timing and history of similar product sales in the pharmaceutical industry. As of June 30, 2016, no products had been returned.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
NOTE PAYABLE	8. NOTE PAYABLE On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with HC Royalty, as lender, under which it agreed to borrow $50.0 million in two $25.0 million tranches. The Company received $23.4 million in net proceeds from the first tranche of the loan at closing in December 2012 and an additional $23.7 million in net proceeds in May 2013 from the second tranche upon FDA approval of PROCYSBI. In July 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with HC Royalty which revised the terms of the 2012 loan agreement between the Company and HC Royalty, and also provided for an additional $10.0 million in term loan funding. The interest rate was revised to an annual fixed rate of 8.0%, compared to the original interest rate of 10.75%. The loan also contains a synthetic royalty component based on net product revenues in a calendar year, and such royalty is payable quarterly. The variable royalty rate under the amended and restated loan agreement has been revised to 8.0% on the first $50.0 million of revenue and 2.0% on revenue in excess of $50.0 million. The first quarterly principal payment of $3.0 million was due in June 2015. All term loans under the amended and restated loan agreement mature on March 31, 2020. The loan and the Company’s obligation to make payments thereunder shall terminate immediately when all payments received by HC Royalty equal $120.0 million. The Company’s amended and restated loan agreement with HC Royalty includes affirmative and negative covenants, including the use of commercially reasonable efforts to exploit RP103 in specific markets and compliance with laws, as well as restrictions on mergers and sales of assets, incurrence of liens, incurrence of indebtedness and transactions with affiliates and other requirements. To secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under the loan, the Company granted a security interest to HC Royalty in substantially all of its assets, the assets of its domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of stock of certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s failure to comply with the terms of the loan and related documents, the occurrence of a change of control of the Company or the occurrence of an uncured material adverse effect on the Company or the occurrence of certain other specified events, will result in an event of default under the loan that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the payment of all of its indebtedness, as well as prepayment penalties, to HC Royalty and interest thereon. Under the terms of the security agreement, in an event of default, the lender can potentially take possession of, foreclose on, sell, assign or grant a license to use, the Company’s pledged collateral and assign and transfer the pledged stock of certain of its subsidiaries. The Company received marketing approval of PROCYSBI from the FDA on April 30, 2013 and commenced shipment of PROCYSBI during June 2013, and as a result, royalties became payable to HC Royalty based upon net revenues of PROCYSBI. Interest expense on the loan, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Interest expense on the loan, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $6.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

Convertible Notes [Abstract]
CONVERTIBLE NOTES	9. CONVERTIBLE NOTES In July 2014, the Company sold $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.0% convertible senior notes due 2019 to HC Royalty and other purchasers. These convertible notes require quarterly interest distributions at a fixed coupon rate equal to 8.0% until maturity or conversion, which will be no later than August 1, 2019. The convertible senior notes are convertible at the option of the holder at a conversion rate of 57.14 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of convertible senior notes at issuance (equivalent to a conversion price of $17.50 per common share), subject to adjustment in certain events. Upon conversion of these convertible senior notes by a holder, the holder will receive shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company may elect to exercise the optional redemption, as defined in the note purchase agreement, in which case the convertible senior notes will convert into shares of common stock if the price of the common stock is at or above 175% of the applicable conversion price over a 30 consecutive day period. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control”, as defined in the note purchase agreement, the holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the notes for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes being purchased, plus a repayment premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. To secure the performance of the Company's obligations under the convertible notes agreement, the Company has assigned certain of its assets as collateral. Interest expense on convertible notes, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs, was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Unamortized debt issuance costs on these convertible notes totaled $2.0 million and $2.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

BUSINESS COMBINATION	10. BUSINESS COMBINATION Acquisition of QUINSAIR Acquisition Overview On October 5, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of QUINSAIR from Tripex. The Company acquired exclusive global rights and assets to develop, manufacture and commercialize QUINSAIR, a levofloxacin solution for inhalation. At closing, the Company paid Tripex approximately $35.4 million in cash consideration, subject to a deduction for payment of costs for representations and warranties insurance, and an amount to be held in escrow, and issued to Tripex 3,448,001 shares of Raptor common stock. In addition, the purchase agreement provides for contingent payments of up to $350.0 million associated with development, regulatory and commercial milestones, a portion of which is also payable in Raptor common stock at the Company’s election, and a single digit royalty on future global net sales. The Company has single-digit royalty and contingent obligations to each of two additional parties involved in QUINSAIR’s development. Consideration transferred The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following items: (In thousands) Cash consideration $ 35,370 Stock consideration 20,860 Contingent consideration 166,800 Total purchase consideration $ 223,030 Fair Value Estimate of Assets Acquired and Liability Assumed at Acquisition Date Property and equipment $ 282 Developed technology 3,200 In-Process research and development 210,600 Goodwill 8,948 Total $ 223,030 Value of Intangible Assets Acquired Amortization Period* Developed technology $ 3,200 132 months IPR&D 210,600 (1 ) Total identifiable intangible assets $ 213,800 * Recognized on a straight-line basis. (1) IPR&D is an intangible asset classified as indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort, and will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the project is completed. IPR&D is not amortized during this period, but is periodically tested for impairment. The fair value of the acquired developed technology and IPR&D assets were estimated using the income approach. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Direct costs of the QUINSAIR acquisition included consulting, legal, and accounting fees which aggregated to $3.9 million. The Company estimated the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration payable of $166.8 million on October 5, 2015. It was calculated on a discounted and probability adjusted basis. The gross amount is payable upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory approval, sales-based milestone events or financial results. The model used in valuing this contingent consideration liability requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to: · estimates of revenues and operating profits related to the products or product candidates; · the probability of success for unapproved product candidates considering their stages of development; · the time and resources needed to complete the development and approval of product candidates; · the life of the potential commercialized products and associated risks, including the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in developing a product candidate such as obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals; and · risks related to the viability of and potential alternative treatments in any future target markets. Goodwill Goodwill presented above of $8.9 million represents the difference of the QUINSAIR total purchase consideration of $223.0 million minus QUINSAIR IPR&D and Contingent Consideration Liability Fair Value as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 The QUINSAIR IPR&D and Contingent Consideration Liability will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. The Company concluded that during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 there was no impairment to the QUINSAIR IPR&D or change in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration Liability. In March 2016, the Company revised its clinical development plans for MP-376 for the Bronchiectasis (BE) and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) indications, the programs which drive the majority of the fair value of the IPR&D intangible assets balance related to the QUINSAIR acquisition. The revisions to the clinical development plans were a result of the following: - increased and further assessment of possible development plan options from external clinical advisory boards, external consultants, and internal clinical teams; and - strategic consideration and related reduction of the Company’s near-term operating cash expenditures and a prioritization of those programs or strategies that could have more near-term data readouts. As a result of these revisions the tables below represent the change in fair values for IPR&D and Contingent Consideration Liability: In-Process Research and Development (In thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 210,600 Impairment (39,600 ) Balance as of June 30, 2016 $ 171,000 Contingent Consideration Liability (In thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 166,800 Fair value adjustment (14,730 ) Balance as of June 30, 2016 $ 152,070

CAPITAL STRUCTURE	11. CAPITAL STRUCTURE Common Stock Issuance under At-The-Market ("ATM") Agreement On September 4, 2015, the Company entered into an “At the Market” (“ATM”) sales agreement, with Cowen and Company, LLC, under which the Company would, at its discretion, sell its common stock with a sales value of up to a maximum of $75.0 million through ATM offerings on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “2015 Sales Agreement”). Cowen was the sole sales agent for any sales made under the 2015 Sales Agreement, and the Company was to pay Cowen a commission, or allow a discount, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of the Company’s common stock of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through it as agent under the 2015 Sales Agreement. The common stock would have been sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale of common stock, and, as a result, prices would have varied. On July 5, 2016, the Company terminated the ATM sales agreement with Cowen. No shares were sold under the 2015 Sales Agreement. 2015 Follow-on Public Offering On April 8, 2015, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price to the public of $9.00 per share. The shares sold in the offering included 9.5 million shares of common stock plus an additional 1.43 million shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option the Company granted to them. Total gross proceeds to the Company in the offering (including in connection with the sale of the shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option) totaled $98.3 million, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $92.0 million after deduction of underwriting discounts of 6.0% and other offering expenses paid by the Company.

On November 25, 2014, as a key requirement of the Company's strategy of strengthening its leadership team and employee base, continuing the expansion of its commercial activities into new territories, and increasing the expansion of its product development programs, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. 2014 Employment Commencement Stock Incentive Plan. The plan was approved pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Global Select Market for equity grants to induce new employees to enter into employment with the Company. Up to 2,400,000 shares were authorized for issuance under this plan. On May 19, 2015, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan Amendment”). These amendments were previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2015. Among other things, the 2015 Plan Amendment increased the share reserve available for issuance under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan by 3,456,620 shares to an aggregate of approximately 15.4 million shares plus any shares which are subject to awards under the 2014 Commencement Plan which are forfeited or lapse unexercised and which are not issued under the 2014 Commencement Plan, all of which may be used for any form of award under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. Following the approval of the 2015 Plan Amendment by the Company’s stockholders, no new equity grants will be made under the 2014 Commencement Plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from the exercise of stock options. At June 30, 2016, there were 2,747,585 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company recorded employee stock-based compensation expense as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Cost of goods sold $ 135 $ 44 $ 255 $ 76 Research and development 611 631 1,201 1,215 General and administrative 1,943 3,636 3,892 5,874 Total Stock-Based Compensation Expense $ 2,689 $ 4,311 $ 5,348 $ 7,165 A summary of the activity in the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended and the Company's other stock option plans, is as follows: For Three Months Ended For Six Months Ended June 30,2016 June 30,2016 Option Shares Weighted- average Exercise Price Option Shares Weighted- average Exercise Price Beginning balance 9,573,631 $ 7.69 8,790,474 $ 8.49 Granted 232,392 4.90 1,669,023 3.98 Exercised (37,664 ) 2.72 (53,437 ) 2.67 Canceled (485,658 ) 8.29 (1,123,359 ) 9.35 Outstanding Balance 9,282,701 7.61 9,282,701 7.61 Restricted Stock Units For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Option Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Unvested balance - December 31, 2015 448,777 $ 9.28 Granted 544,498 4.08 Vested (83,583 ) 10.12 Forfeited (90,638 ) 7.91 Unvested balance - June 30, 2016 819,054 5.89 As of June 30, 2016 there was $4.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years. Unvested RSUs at June 30, 2016 vest through 2020. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be purchased in aggregate for all employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 158,971 shares had been purchased, and there remained a negligible amount of uninvested employee contributions in the ESPP. As of June 30, 2016, there were approximately 678,531 shares reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	13. INCOME TAXES We apply an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods, as required under GAAP. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $550 thousand and $70 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and $898 thousand and $92 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our ETR differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 34.0% primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and the impact of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. We recognize excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation to stockholders’ equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to share-based compensation have been realized, we follow the with-and-without approach, excluding any indirect effects of the excess tax deductions. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax benefits available to us. We recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be reflected in income tax expense.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contractual Obligations with UCSD Relating to the Acquisition of the DR Cysteamine (RP103) License Pursuant to the license agreement with UCSD, the Company is obligated to pay milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain events, royalties on net sales from products developed pursuant to the license agreement and a percentage of sublicense fees or sublicense royalties, if any. The Company is obligated to fulfill predetermined milestones within a specified number of years from the effective date of the license agreement, depending on the indication. Cumulatively, the Company has expensed $2.2 million in milestone payments to UCSD based upon the initiation of clinical trials in cystinosis, Huntington’s disease and NASH and on regulatory filings in cystinosis. To the extent that the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under the license agreement, then, with certain exceptions, UCSD may terminate the license or otherwise cause the license to become non-exclusive. QUINSAIR Contingent Consideration Liability The QUINSAIR purchase agreement provides for contingent payments of up to $350.0 million associated with development, regulatory and commercial milestones, a portion of which is also payable in Raptor common stock at the Company’s election, and a single digit royalty on future global net sales. The Company has single-digit royalty and contingent obligations to each of two additional parties involved in QUINSAIR development. Leases In January 2016, the Company entered into a four-year lease for additional office space in Brisbane. The Company took occupancy of such facilities in February 2016. The Company will record such rent on a straight-line basis. In April 2013, the Company executed a seven-year lease for its corporate office facilities in Novato, California. The Company took occupancy of such facilities at the end of June 2013.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company's direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Raptor Pharmaceuticals Inc., formerly known as Raptor Therapeutics Inc. which merged with Raptor Discoveries Inc. in December 2012 prior to changing its name, and Raptor European Products, LLC, such subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware on August 1, 2007, and February 14, 2012, respectively, and Raptor Pharmaceuticals Europe B.V. (“BV”), Raptor Pharmaceuticals France SAS (“SAS”), Raptor Pharmaceuticals Germany GmbH (“GMBH”) and RPTP European Holdings C.V. (“CV”), domiciled in the Netherlands on December 15, 2009, in France on October 30, 2012, in Germany on October 16, 2013 and in the Cayman Islands on February 16, 2012, respectively. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Functional Currency	Functional Currency The Company's consolidated functional currency is the U.S. dollar. BV, SAS, and GMBH, the Company's Dutch subsidiary, French subsidiary, and German Subsidiary, respectively, use the European Euro as their functional currency. The CV subsidiary, a Cayman-based subsidiary, uses the dollar as its functional currency. At each quarter end, each foreign subsidiary's balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars based upon the quarter-end exchange rate, while their statements of operations and comprehensive loss are translated into U.S. dollars based upon an average exchange rate during the period.
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company has determined that it operates in only one segment, as it only reports profit and loss information on an aggregate basis to its chief operating decision maker. The Company's long-lived assets maintained outside the U.S. are not material.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Contingent Consideration Liability	Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Contingent Consideration Liability The carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and contingent consideration liability approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of achieving the specified milestones, changes in projected revenues or changes in discount rates. Significant judgment is employed in determining these assumptions as of the acquisition or consolidation date and for each subsequent period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, which consist principally of money market funds, with high credit quality financial institutions. Such amounts exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the Company had $124.2 million and $157.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $6.5 million and $6.9 million was held by its foreign subsidiaries, respectively.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents certificates of deposit and compensating balances required by the Company’s U.S. and European banks as collateral for credit cards and for access to a value-added tax deferral program.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. To date, the Company has not experienced significant losses with respect to the collection of accounts receivable.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and risk of loss has passed; the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company determines that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists based on written contracts that define the terms of the arrangements. Pursuant to the contract terms, the Company determines when title to products and associated risk of loss has passed on to the customer. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectability based primarily on the customer's payment history and creditworthiness. PROCYSBI is currently available for U.S. distribution from the Company's U.S. specialty pharmacy partner, the Accredo Health Group, Inc. ("Accredo") which is currently the Company's only U.S. customer and ships directly to patients. PROCYSBI is not available in U.S. retail pharmacies. Authorization of coverage by patients' commercial insurance plans, Raptor's patient assistance program ("PAP") or government payors is a prerequisite to the shipment of PROCYSBI to U.S. patients. The Company is able to reasonably estimate and determine sales allowances; therefore the Company recognizes PROCYSBI revenue in the United States at the point of sale to the specialty pharmacy. The Company's distributor of PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR in the EU is the Almac Group, Ltd. Revenue is currently recognized in the EU once confirmed orders from the pharmacies have been shipped and invoiced for payment by the distributor on the Company’s behalf. The Company records revenue net of expected discounts, distributor fees, and rebates, including government rebates such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States. Allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time product sales are recognized. Allowances for government rebates and discounts are established based on the actual payor and payor mix information, which is estimated based on historical claim levels in the United States and in Europe and the government-mandated discount rates applicable to government-funded programs. The allowances are adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that may impact such allowances in the quarter the changes are known.
Inventories and Cost of Sales	Inventories and Cost of Sales Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market price, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are reviewed periodically to identify slow-moving inventory based on sales activity, both projected and historical, as well as product shelf-life. Products that have been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities are also used in clinical programs, to assess the safety and efficacy of the products for usage in diseases or patients that have not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. The forms of PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR that are utilized for both commercial and clinical programs are identical and, as a result, the inventory has an “alternative future use” as defined in authoritative accounting guidance. Raw materials and purchased drug product associated with clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and/or no longer can be used for commercial purposes and, therefore, does not have an “alternative future use.” Cost of sales for both PROCYSBI and QUINSAIR includes the cost of inventory sold or reserved; manufacturing, manufacturing overhead and supply chain costs; inventory variance amortization; product shipping and handling costs; and amortization of licensing approval milestone payments and licensing royalties payable to the University of California, San Diego (“UCSD”) for PROCYSBI, and MPEX, TriPEX, and PARI for QUINSAIR. QUINSAIR is approved in the EU and Canada and marketing commenced in Germany and Denmark in April 2016.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which mainly consist of leasehold improvements, office furniture, lab equipment and computer hardware and software, are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the related estimated useful lives, except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Significant additions and improvements that have useful lives estimated at greater than one year are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are related to purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) projects and are measured at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets related to IPR&D projects are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs if and when marketing approval is obtained, the associated assets are deemed finite-lived and are amortized based on their respective estimated useful lives at that point in time. The Company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and in between annual tests if any events or changes occur that would indicate the fair values of the assets are below their carrying amounts. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, and are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.
Common Stock Warrant Liabilities	Common Stock Warrant Liabilities The Company previously issued common stock warrants that contained conditional obligations that may have required the Company to transfer cash to settle the warrants upon the occurrence of certain fundamental transactions. Therefore, the Company classified such warrants as liabilities. At each reporting period, the Company re-measured the common stock warrant liability at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At the exercise date, the fair values of these warrants were re-measured and reclassified to equity. As of December 31, 2015, all common stock warrants had been exercised or expired.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are expenses associated with the loan agreements with HealthCare Royalty Partners ("HC Royalty") and the convertible notes. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the respective debt to interest expense using the interest method. Debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction in the carrying amount of note payable and convertible debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Net Loss per Share	Net Loss per Share Net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding and potential shares of common stock during the period. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include: Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Warrants to purchase common stock — 236,812 Options to purchase common stock 9,282,701 9,231,283 Restricted stock unit awards outstanding 819,054 287,363 Convertible debt 3,428,571 3,428,571 Total Potentially Dilutive Securities 13,530,326 13,184,029
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Compensation costs related to the Company's stock incentive plans are measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the equity instruments awarded and are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, or the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily include salaries and benefits for medical, clinical, regulatory, quality, pharmacovigilance and research personnel, preclinical studies, clinical trials, and certain commercial drug manufacturing expenses prior to obtaining marketing approval.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded under the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Based on the weight of available evidence, including cumulative losses since inception and expected future losses, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset amount will not be realized and therefore a full valuation allowance has been provided on the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company identifies uncertain tax positions and discloses any potential tax liability on its financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2016, there were no accrued uncertain tax positions or interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files U.S. Federal, California, various other state and other income tax returns and various foreign country income tax returns. The Company is currently not subject to any income tax examinations. Due to the Company's net operating losses ("NOLs"), generally all tax years remain open.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts previously reported under specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.
Disclosure of Change in Accounting Policy and Retroactive Restatement Disclosure	Disclosure of Change in Accounting Policy and Retroactive Restatement Disclosure As Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs The Company has adopted this standard as management believes this presentation more accurately reflects the costs of borrowing for arrangements in which debt issuance costs are incurred. The implementation resulted in the decrease of assets and debt liabilities of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2015. Adoption of this standard only impacted the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015. See Notes 8 and 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information on the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's debt.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The standard’s core principle is that a reporting entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted in 2017. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 "Revenue From Contracts With Customers: Principal vs. Agent Considerations," ASU 2016-10 “Revenue From Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12 “Revenue From Contracts With Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” to provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This is part of FASB’s simplification initiative. The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The purpose is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is not permitted except for limited provisions. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
