Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations DURECT Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 6, 1998. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company with research and development programs broadly falling into two categories: (i) new chemical entities derived from our Epigenetics Regulator Program, in which the Company attempts to discover and develop molecules which have not previously been approved and marketed as therapeutics, and (ii) Proprietary Pharmaceutical Programs, in which the Company applies its formulation expertise and technologies largely to active pharmaceutical ingredients whose safety and efficacy have previously been established but which the Company aims to improve in some manner through a new formulation. The Company has several products under development by itself and with third party collaborators. The Company also manufactures and sells osmotic pumps used in laboratory research, and manufactures certain excipients for certain clients for use as raw materials in their products. In addition, the Company conducts research and development of pharmaceutical products in collaboration with third party pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, the period of performance, identification of deliverables and evaluation of milestones with respect to our collaborations, the amounts of revenues, recoverability of inventory, certain accrued liabilities including accrued clinical trial liability, and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Discontinued Operations In December 2020, the Company announced its decision to sell its LACTEL Absorbable Polymer (LACTEL) product line to Evonik, which was completed on December 31, 2020. The accompanying financial statements have been recast for all periods presented to reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the Company’s LACTEL product line as discontinued operations (see Note 10). The Company believes this format provides comparability with its previously filed financial statements. Liquidity and Need to Raise Additional Capital As of December 31, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $489.8 million as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company generally has had negative cash flows from operating activities and expects its negative cash flows to continue. The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including clinical trials of its product candidates. Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements beyond the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are filed, may include seeking additional collaborative agreements for certain of its programs and achieving revenue from its collaboration and licensing agreements as well as financing activities such as public offerings and private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be obtained and that the Company will succeed in its future operations. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital when needed and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected. The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, cash held in escrow, investments and subsequent equity fund raising completed in February 2021 (see Note 11) are sufficient to fund its operating cashflow requirements for a period greater than 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days from the date of purchase but less than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments, while investments with maturities in one year or beyond one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of its cash equivalents and investment securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination as of each balance sheet date. Management has classified the Company’s cash equivalents and investments as available-for-sale securities in the accompanying financial statements. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income. There were no material realized gains or losses in the periods presented. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The Company invests in debt instruments of government agencies, corporations, and money market funds with high credit ratings. The Company has established guidelines regarding diversification of its investments and their maturities with the objectives of maintaining safety and liquidity, while maximizing yield. Total cash held in escrow (related to the sale of the LACTEL product line) was $15 million as of December 31, 2020; the $15 million which was released from escrow in January 2021. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and investments with various major financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. In addition, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit quality of its investments. Pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions account for a substantial portion of the Company’s trade receivables. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to its customers and collateral for these receivables is generally not required. The risk associated with this concentration is limited to a certain extent due to the large number of accounts and their geographic dispersion. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses and, to date, such losses have been immaterial in all periods presented. Customer and Product Line Concentrations (excluding the LACTEL product line) A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from its ALZET osmotic pump product line, and the sale of certain excipients for Methydur and one excipient that is included in a marketed animal health product. Revenue from the sale of products from the ALZET product line accounted for 20%, 27% and 46% of total revenue for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gilead accounted for 76% and 68% of the Company’s total revenue for 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2018, Indivior and Gilead accounted for 33% and 17% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. Total revenue by geographic region for the years 2020, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 United States $ 26,894 $ 21,957 $ 7,058 Europe 1,386 906 6,476 Japan 1,174 1,472 975 Others 657 739 766 Total $ 30,111 $ 25,074 $ 15,275 Revenue by geography is determined by the location of the customer. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company may be required to expense previously capitalized inventory costs upon a change in management’s judgment due to new information that suggests that the inventory will not be saleable. If the Company is able to subsequently sell products made with raw materials that were previously written down, the Company will report an unusually high gross profit as there will be no associated cost of goods for these materials. The Company’s inventories consisted of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Raw materials $ 136 $ 163 Work in-process 796 709 Finished goods 932 1,047 Total inventories $ 1,864 $ 1,919 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the terms of the related leases, whichever are shorter. Goodwill Goodwill is periodically assessed and evaluated for impairment. The Company operates in one operating segment and also has only one reporting unit, which is the research, development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: • significant decline in our stock price for a prolonged period; • our market capitalization relative to net book value; • new information affecting the commercial value of the asset; • significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; • significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; and • significant negative industry or economic trends. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of goodwill was approximately $6.2 million compared with $6.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. As a result of the sale of the LACTEL product line, approximately $229,000 of the carry value of goodwill was allocated to the LACTEL product line upon its disposition. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, goodwill was evaluated and no indicators of impairment were identified. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charge related to goodwill. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets, and other long-term assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is calculated as the amount by which an asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, typically using discounted cash flows to determine fair value. Through December 31, 2020, there have been no material impairment losses. Leases The Company leases administrative, manufacturing and laboratory facilities under operating leases. Lease agreements may include rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and tenant improvement allowances. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" No. 2016-02, Leases, and the related amendments ("Topic 842") Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2019. Other prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under previous lease guidance, ASC Topic 840: Leases (Topic 840). The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification of those leases in place as of January 1, 2019. The adjustments due to the adoption of Topic 842 primarily related to the recognition of an operating lease right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability for the Company’s leased properties. The Company’s operating lease right-of-use asset and liability were recognized at the adoption date of ASC 842 based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term at the adoption date. In determining the net present value of lease payments, we used our incremental borrowing rate of 13.8 % based on the information available, including remaining lease term, at the adoption date of ASC 842. As of December 31, 20 20 , the weighted-average remaining lease term was 2.99 years for the Company’s leased properties . There was no effect from the adoption of Topic 842 on the Company’s Statement of cash flows. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based payments using a fair-value based method for costs related to all share-based payments, including stock options and stock issued under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. See Note 8 for further information regarding stock-based compensation. Revenue Recognition The Company enters into license and collaboration agreements under which the Company may receive upfront license fees, research funding and contingent milestone payments and royalties. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company changed certain characteristics of its revenue recognition accounting policy as described below. ASC 606 was applied using the modified retrospective method, where the cumulative effect of the initial application was recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The Company recorded a net decrease to opening accumulated deficit of $470,000 with an offset entry to reduce deferred revenue as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact relating to the Company’s deferred collaborative research and development revenues. Product Revenue, Net The Company sells osmotic pumps used in laboratory research, and manufactures certain excipients for pharmaceutical clients for use as raw materials in their products. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that the Company would have recognized is one year or less. Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company provides certain customers with discounts that are explicitly stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for products that have been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using its historical sales information. The Company expects product returns to be minimal. Collaborative Research and Development and Other Revenue The Company enters into license agreements, under which it licenses certain rights to its product candidates to third parties. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; reimbursement of development costs incurred by the Company under approved work plans; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services the Company provides through its contract manufacturers; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments results in collaborative research and development revenues, except for revenues from royalties on net sales of licensed products, which are classified as other revenues. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the standalone selling price, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. The Company expects to recognize revenue for the variable consideration currently being constrained when it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. Licenses of intellectual property: If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaborative research and development revenues and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment. Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaborative research and development revenues and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment. Manufacturing Supply Services: Arrangements that include a promise for future supply of drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the customer’s discretion are generally considered as options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations. If the Company is entitled to additional payments when the customer exercises these options, any additional payments are recorded in collaborative research and development revenue when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is upon delivery. Royalties and Earn-outs: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties or earn-outs, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized material royalty revenue resulting from the Company’s collaborative arrangements or material earn-out revenue from the Company’s patent purchase agreement with Indivior. The Company receives payments from its customers based on development cost schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due, and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs its obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less. Prepaid and Accrued Contract Research Expenses The Company incurs significant costs associated with third party consultants and organizations for pre-clinical studies, clinical trials, contract research and manufacturing, validation, testing, regulatory advice and other research and development-related services. The Company is required to estimate periodically the cost of services rendered but unbilled based on management’s estimates of project status. If these good faith estimates are inaccurate, actual expenses incurred could materially differ from these estimates. Research and development expenses are primarily comprised of salaries and benefits associated with research and development personnel, overhead and facility costs, preclinical and non-clinical development costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract services, and other outside costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs paid to third parties under sponsored research agreements are recognized as the related services are performed. In addition, reimbursements of research and development expenses incurred by the Company’s partners are recorded as collaborative research and development revenue. Comprehensive Loss Components of other comprehensive loss are comprised entirely of unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities for all periods presented. Total comprehensive loss has been disclosed in the Company’s Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Segment Reporting The Company operates in one operating segment, which is the research, development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents (i.e., options to purchase common stock) outstanding during the period, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method for options. The numerators and denominators in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands except per share amounts): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Numerators: Net loss $ (582 ) $ (20,578 ) $ (25,322 ) Denominators: Weighted average shares used to compute basic net loss per share 199,457 178,042 159,834 Effect of dilutive securities: Dilution from stock options — — — Dilution from ESPP — — — Dilutive common shares — — — Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net loss per share 199,457 178,042 159,834 Net loss per share: Basic $ (0.00 ) $ (0.12 ) $ (0.16 ) Diluted $ (0.00 ) $ (0.12 ) $ (0.16 ) The computation of diluted net loss per share for 2020, 2019 and 2018 excludes the impact of options to purchase 7.5 million, 21.4 million and 16.6 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as such impact would be antidilutive. Shipping and Handling Costs related to shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues for all periods presented. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (ASU 2018-18) participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e. a unit of account). For units of account that are in the scope of Topic 606, all of the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including the guidance on recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. ASU 2018-18 also adds a reference in Topic 808 to the unit of account guidance in ASC 606 and requires that it be applied only to assess whether transactions in a collaborative arrangement are in the scope of Topic 606. ASU 2018-18 will preclude entities from presenting amounts related to transactions with a counterparty in a collaborative arrangement that is not a customer as revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2018-18 is effective for the Company for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements . In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, (ASU 2017-04) In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for small reporting companies, including interim reporting periods within those years and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with certain exceptions. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial statements. |

Strategic Agreements | 2. Strategic Agreements The collaborative research and development and other revenues associated with the Company’s major third-party collaborators are as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Collaborator/Counterparty Gilead (1) $ 22,879 $ 17,133 $ 2,542 Other (2) 1,062 996 5,665 Total collaborative research and development and other revenue $ 23,941 $ 18,129 $ 8,207 (1) Amounts related to recognition of upfront fees and milestone payments were $22.7 million, $12.3 million and zero for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company signed a license agreement with Gilead on July 19, 2019 and received a nonrefundable upfront license fee and a milestone payment totaling $35.0 million in 2019 which was being recognized as revenue as its obligation was being satisfied using the cost-to-cost input method (see Note 2. Strategic Agreements - Agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. in the financial statements). In June 2020, the Company received notice that Gilead was terminating the License Agreement and a related R&D agreement between Gilead and the Company. As a result, the Company recognized all its remaining deferred revenue as there were no remaining substantive performance obligations to be provided to Gilead by the Company as of the date when the termination notice was received. Amounts recognized as revenue during each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 also included the Company’s reimbursable collaborative research and development services performed under its agreement with Gilead. (2) Includes: (a) amounts related to earn-out revenue from Indivior UK Limited (Indivior) with respect to PERSERIS net sales; (b) feasibility programs; (c) research and development activities funded by Santen Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Santen); and (d) royalty revenue from OP Pharma with respect to Methydur net sales. Note that in January 2018, the Company was notified by Santen that due to a shift in priorities, Santen had elected to reallocate research and development resources and put the Company’s program on pause until further notice. While the main program is on pause, the parties are working together on a limited set of research and development activities funded by Santen. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had potential milestones of up to $76.0 million that the Company may receive in the future under its collaborative arrangements, of which $13.0 million are development-based milestones and $63.0 million are sales-based milestones. Within the category of development-based milestones, $2.0 million are related to early stage clinical testing (defined as Phase 1 or 2 activities), $3.0 million are related to late stage clinical testing (defined as Phase 3 activities), $3.0 million are related to regulatory filings, and $5.0 million are related to regulatory approvals. Agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. On July 19, 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Gilead Agreement”) with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”). Pursuant to the Gilead Agreement, the Company granted Gilead the exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize a long-acting injectable HIV product utilizing DURECT’s SABER ® Under the terms of the Gilead Agreement, Gilead made a non-refundable upfront payment to DURECT of $25 million, and in October 2019, the Company also received a $10 million milestone payment from Gilead for further development of the product candidate. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the upfront and milestone consideration of $35 million received in 2019 associated with the Primary Services was being recognized as revenue when the first performance obligation was being satisfied using the cost-to-cost input method, which the Company believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to the total estimated costs. Revenue is recorded as a percentage of the transaction price based on the extent of progress towards completion. The estimate of the Company’s measure of progress, which can include additional Primary Services, if any, and the estimate of any additional consideration for those additional Primary Services, are included in the transaction price which is updated at each reporting date, and revenue is recognized on a cumulative catchup basis. As such, management applies a certain amount of judgment in estimating both the Primary Services and the corresponding timeline to through completion of the first performance obligation, which are key inputs when using the cost-to-cost input method. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $12.3 million of the deferred revenue within collaborative research and development and other revenues. The Company also recognized $4.8 million from Gilead during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 from feasibility related collaborative research and development services. In June 2020, Gilead terminated the Gilead Agreement and a related R&D agreement between Gilead and the Company. As a result, the Company recognized $22.7 million as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2020, which represented all of the remaining upfront fee and milestone payment that had previously been deferred as there were no remaining substantive performance obligations to be provided to Gilead by the Company as of the date when the termination notice was received. The following table presents changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Balance at January 1, 2019 Additions Deletions Balance at December 31, 2019 Balance Sheet Assets Accounts receivable $ — $ 39,812 $ (39,318 ) $ 494 Total contract asset $ — $ 39,812 $ (39,318 ) $ 494 Liabilities Deferred revenue, current portion $ — $ 35,000 $ (12,321 ) $ 22,679 Total contract liabilities $ — $ 35,000 $ (12,321 ) $ 22,679 Balance at January 1, 2020 Additions Deletions Balance at December 31, 2020 Balance Sheet Assets Accounts receivable $ 494 $ 200 $ (694 ) $ — Total contract asset $ 494 $ 200 $ (694 ) $ — Liabilities Deferred revenue, current portion $ 22,679 $ 9,174 $ (31,853 ) $ — Total contract liabilities $ 22,679 $ 9,174 $ (31,853 ) $ — Patent Purchase Agreement with Indivior On September 26, 2017, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “Indivior Agreement”) with Indivior. Pursuant to the Indivior Agreement, the Company assigned to Indivior certain patents that may provide further intellectual property protection for PERSERIS™ (risperidone), Indivior’s extended-release injectable suspension for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. In consideration for such assignment, Indivior made an upfront non-refundable payment to the Company of $12.5 million. Indivior also agreed to make an additional $5.0 million payment to the Company contingent upon NDA approval of PERSERIS, as well as quarterly earn-out payments that are based on a single digit percentage of U.S. net sales for certain products covered by the assigned patent rights, including PERSERIS. The assigned patent rights include granted patents extending through at least 2026. The Company also received a non-exclusive right under the assigned patents to develop and commercialize certain risperidone-containing products and products that do not contain risperidone or buprenorphine. The Indivior Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnities of the parties. The Company received the payment of $ 12.5 million from Indivior in September 2017 and recognized the $ 12.5 million as revenue from sale of intellectual property rights in 2017 as the Company did not have any continuing obligations under the purchase agreement . In August 2018, the Company received the payment of $ 5.0 million from Indivior for the FDA approval of PERSERIS. The Company recognized the $ 5.0 million as milestone revenue in 2018 as there was no further performance obligation associated with this milestone payment. Amounts recognized to date related to earn-out revenues from PERSERIS have been immaterial . Agreement with Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. On December 11, 2014, the Company and Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Santen) entered into a definitive agreement (the Santen Agreement). Pursuant to the Santen Agreement, the Company granted Santen an exclusive worldwide license to the Company’s proprietary SABER formulation platform and other intellectual property to develop and commercialize a sustained release product utilizing the Company’s SABER technology to deliver an ophthalmology drug. Santen controls and funds the development and commercialization program, and the parties established a joint management committee to oversee, review and coordinate the development activities of the parties under the Santen Agreement. In connection with the Santen agreement, Santen paid the Company an upfront fee of $2.0 million in cash and agreed to make contingent cash payments to the Company of up to $76.0 million upon the achievement of certain milestones, of which $13.0 million are development-based milestones and $63.0 million are commercialization-based milestones including milestones requiring the achievement of certain product sales targets (none of which has been achieved as of December 31, 2020). Santen will also pay for certain Company costs incurred in the development of the licensed product. If the product is commercialized, the Company would also receive a tiered royalty on annual net product sales ranging from single-digit to the low double digits, determined on a country-by-country basis. In January 2018, the Company was notified by Santen that due to a shift in priorities, Santen elected to reallocate research and development resources and put the Company’s program on pause until further notice. While the main program is on pause, the parties are working together on a limited set of research and development activities funded by Santen. As of December 31, 2020, the cumulative aggregate payments received by the Company under this agreement were $3.3 million. Agreement with Sandoz AG. In May 2017, the Company and Sandoz AG (“Sandoz”) entered into a license agreement to develop and market POSIMIR in the United States. On January 2, 2019, the Company received written notice from Sandoz that Sandoz terminated this agreement effective January 27, 2019. As a result of this termination, Sandoz returned its exclusive commercialization rights to develop and market POSIMIR in the United States. The parties are in dispute with regard to Sandoz’s obligation to pay a termination fee to the Company. The Company has initiated a formal dispute resolution process related to the termination fee. The cumulative aggregate payments received by the Company from Sandoz as of December 31, 2020 were $20.0 million under this agreement. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | 3. Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. These levels of inputs are the following: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based upon other observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market funds $ 522 $ — $ — $ 522 Certificates of deposit — 150 — 150 Commercial paper — 32,213 — 32,213 Municipal bonds — 6,305 — 6,305 U.S. Government agencies — 1,000 — 1,000 Total $ 522 $ 39,668 $ — $ 40,190 The following table sets forth the fair value of our financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Money market funds $ 524 $ — $ — $ 524 Certificates of deposit — 150 — 150 Commercial paper — 47,218 — 47,218 U.S. Government agencies — 4,501 — 4,501 Corporate debt — 9,868 — 9,868 Total $ 524 $ 61,737 $ — $ 62,261 The Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based upon other observable inputs. Money market funds are classified as Level 1 financial assets. Certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, and U.S. Government agency securities are classified as Level 2 financial assets. The fair value of the Level 2 assets is estimated using pricing models using current observable market information for similar securities. The Company’s Level 2 investments include U.S. government-backed securities and corporate securities that are valued based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. The fair value of commercial paper is based upon the time to maturity and discounted using the three-month treasury bill rate. The average remaining maturity of the Company’s Level 2 investments as of December 31, 20 20 is less than twelve months and these investments are rated by S&P and Moody’s at AAA or AA- for securities and A1 or P1 for commercial paper. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): December 31, 2020 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gain Unrealized Loss Estimated Fair Value Money market funds $ 522 $ — $ — $ 522 Certificates of deposit 150 — — 150 Commercial paper 32,213 2 (2 ) 32,213 Municipal bonds 6,310 — (5 ) 6,305 U.S. Government agencies 1,000 — — 1,000 $ 40,195 $ 2 $ (7 ) $ 40,190 Reported as: Cash and cash equivalents $ 19,619 $ 1 $ (1 ) $ 19,619 Short-term investments 19,426 1 (6 ) 19,421 Long-term investments 1,000 — — 1,000 Long-term restricted investments 150 — — 150 $ 40,195 $ 2 $ (7 ) $ 40,190 December 31, 2019 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gain Unrealized Loss Estimated Fair Value Money market funds $ 524 $ — $ — $ 524 Certificates of deposit 150 — — 150 Commercial paper 47,221 1 (4 ) 47,218 U.S. Government agencies 4,500 1 4,501 Corporate debt 9,869 1 (2 ) 9,868 $ 62,264 $ 3 $ (6 ) $ 62,261 Reported as: Cash and cash equivalents $ 32,364 $ — $ (3 ) $ 32,361 Short-term investments 29,750 3 (3 ) 29,750 The following is a summary of the cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2020, by contractual maturity (in thousands): December 31, 2020 Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value Mature in one year or less $ 38,523 $ 38,518 Mature after one year through five years 1,150 1,150 $ 39,673 $ 39,668 There were no securities that have had an unrealized loss for more than 12 months as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, unrealized losses on available-for-sale investments are not attributed to credit risk and are considered to be temporary. The Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that investments in an unrealized loss position will be held until maturity or the recovery of the cost basis of the investment. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on marketable securities related to other-than-temporary declines in market value. |

Term Loan | 7. Term Loan In July 2016, the Company entered into a $20.0 million secured single-draw term loan with Oxford Finance LLC (Oxford Finance). The Company and Oxford Finance entered into three subsequent amendments to the Loan Agreement in February 2018, November of 2018 and December 2019, for which the Company paid Oxford Finance loan modification fees of $100,000, $900,000 and $825,000 respectively. As amended, the Loan Agreement provides for interest only payments for the first 18 months, followed by consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in arrears starting on December 1, 2021 and continuing through the maturity date of the term loan of May 1, 2024. The Loan Agreement provides for a floating interest rate (7.95% initially and 7.95% as of December 31, 2020) based on an index rate plus a spread. In addition, a payment equal to 10% of the principal amount of the term loan is due when the term loan becomes due or upon the prepayment of the facility. If the Company elects to prepay the loan, there is also a prepayment fee of between 0.75% and 2.5% of the principal amount of the term loan depending on the timing of prepayment. The $150,000 facility fee that was paid at the original closing, the loan modification fees and other debt offering/issuance costs have been recorded as debt discount on the Company’s balance sheet and together with the final $2.0 million payment are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the revised term of the loan. The term loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, except that the collateral does not include any intellectual property (including licensing, collaboration and similar agreements relating thereto), and certain other excluded assets. The 2016 Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, which covenants limit the Company’s ability to convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of certain assets of the Company; engage in any business other than the businesses currently engaged in by the Company or reasonably related thereto; liquidate or dissolve; make certain management changes; undergo certain change of control events; create, incur, assume, or be liable with respect to certain indebtedness; grant certain liens; pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments; make certain investments; and make payments on any subordinated debt. The Loan Agreement also contains customary indemnification obligations and customary events of default, including, among other things, the Company’s failure to fulfill certain obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and the occurrence of a material adverse change which is defined as a material adverse change in the Company’s business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise), a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the loan, or a material impairment in the perfection or priority of lender’s lien in the collateral or in the value of such collateral. In the event of default by the Company under the Loan Agreement, the lender would be entitled to exercise its remedies thereunder, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which the Company may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which could harm the Company’s financial condition. The conditionally exercisable call option related to the event of default is considered to be an embedded derivative which is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a separate financial instrument. In the periods presented, the value of the embedded derivative is not material, but could become material in future periods if an event of default became more probable than is currently estimated. The fair value of the term loan approximates the carrying value. Future maturities and interest payments under the term loan as of December 31, 2020, are as follows (in thousands): 2021 2,941 2022 9,208 2023 8,563 2024 4,712 Total minimum payments 25,424 Less amount representing interest (3,646 ) Gross balance of term loan 21,778 Less unamortized debt discount (958 ) Carrying value of term loan 20,820 Less term loan, current portion, net (884 ) Term loan, non-current portion, net $ 19,936 |

Description of Stock-Based Compensation Plans 2000 Stock Plan (Incentive Stock Plan) In January 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the DURECT Corporation 2000 Stock Plan, under which incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options and stock purchase rights may be granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The 2000 Stock Plan was amended by written consent of the Board of Directors in March 2000 and written consent of the stockholders in August 2000. In April 2005, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the 2000 Stock Plan. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2005, the stockholders approved the amendments of the 2000 Stock Plan to: (i) expand the types of awards that the Company may grant to eligible service providers under the Stock Plan to include restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other similar types of awards (including other awards under which recipients are not required to pay any purchase or exercise price) as well as cash awards; and (ii) include certain performance criteria that may be applied to awards granted under the Stock Plan. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2010, the stockholders approved amendments of the 2000 Stock Plan to: (i) provide that the number of shares that remain available for issuance will be reduced by two shares for each share issued pursuant to an award (other than an option or stock appreciation right) granted on or after the date of the 2010 Annual Meeting; (ii) expand the types of transactions that might be considered repricings and option exchanges for which stockholder approval is required; (iii) provide that shares tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or withheld to satisfy a withholding obligation, and all shares with respect to which a stock appreciation right is exercised, will not again be available for issuance under the Stock Plan; (iv) require that options and stock appreciation rights have an exercise price or base appreciation amount that is at least fair market value on the grant date, except in connection with certain corporate transactions, and that stock appreciation rights may not have longer than a 10-year term; (v) add new performance goals that may be used to provide “performance-based compensation” under the 2000 Stock Plan; (vi) extend the term of the 2000 Stock Plan to the date that is ten (10) years following the stockholders meeting; and (vii) expand the treatment of outstanding awards in connection with certain changes of control of the Company to cover mergers in which the consideration payable to stockholders is not solely securities of the successor corporation. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2011, June 2014, June 2016 and June 2018, the stockholders approved amendments of the 2000 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance by 5,500,000 shares, 4,000,000 shares, 5,000,000 shares and 7,500,000 shares, respectively, each of which had previously been approved by the Board of Directors. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2019, the stockholders approved amendments of the 2000 Stock Plan to extend the term of the 2000 Stock Plan to the date that is ten (10) years following the stockholders meeting. A total of 49,955,639 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under this plan. The plan expires in June 2029 In April 2013, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the 2000 Stock Plan to: (i) increase the number of stock options granted to a non-employee director on the date which such person first becomes a director from 30,000 to 70,000 shares of common stock; each option shall have a ten-year two-year Options granted under the 2000 Stock Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options may be granted with different vesting terms from time to time not to exceed five years from the date of grant. The option price of an incentive stock option granted to an employee or of a nonstatutory stock option granted to any person who owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The option price of an incentive stock option granted to any other employee shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2020, 7,599,531 shares of common stock were available for future grant and options to purchase 27,274,439 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2000 Stock Plan. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In August 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This purchase plan is implemented by a series of overlapping offering periods of 24 months’ duration, with new offering periods, other than the first offering period, beginning on May 1 and November 1 of each year and ending April 30 and October 31, respectively, two years later. The purchase plan allows eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of each offering period or at the end of each purchase period. The initial offering period commenced on the effectiveness of the Company’s initial public offering. In April 2010, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2010, the stockholders approved the amendments of the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to: (i) increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP by 250,000 shares; (ii) extend the term of the ESPP to the date that is ten (10) years following the stockholders meeting; (iii) provide for six-month consecutive offering periods beginning on November 1, 2010; (iv) revise certain provisions to reflect the final regulations issued under Section 423 of the Code by the Internal Revenue Service; and (v) provide for the cash-out of options outstanding under an offering period in effect prior to the consummation of certain corporate transactions as an alternative to providing for a final purchase under such offering period. In March 2015, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. At the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2015, the stockholders approved the amendments of the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to: (i) increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP by 350,000 shares; and (ii) extend the term of the ESPP to the date that is ten (10) years following the stockholders meeting. At each of the Company’s annual stockholders meeting in June 2017 and in June 2020, the stockholders approved amendments of the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares our common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP by 350,000 shares , respectively, and to re-approve its material terms . The plan expires in June 2030 As of December 31, 2020, shares of common stock reserved for future issuance consisted of the following: December 31, 2020 Stock options outstanding 27,274,439 Stock options available for grant 7,599,531 Employee Stock Purchase Plan 497,270 35,371,240 A summary of stock option activity under all stock-based compensation plans is as follows: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 29,803,766 $ 1.41 5.17 $ 71.3 Options granted 2,702,860 $ 2.12 Options exercised (2,865,835 ) $ 1.11 Options forfeited (389,471 ) $ 1.45 Options expired (1,976,881 ) $ 2.20 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 27,274,439 $ 1.45 4.98 $ 19.6 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 23,512,705 $ 1.42 4.44 $ 17.7 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2020 27,274,439 $ 1.45 4.98 $ 19.6 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of 2020 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on December 31, 2020. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $3.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In lieu of providing cash bonuses to certain employees, in January 2019 and 2018, the Company granted its employees stock options to purchase 2.3 million and 1.9 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock, which vested immediately on the grant date. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of all options granted with exercise prices equal to fair market value was $0.43 in 2019 and $0.94 in 2018 determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation method. There were no options granted with exercise prices lower than fair market value. Expenses for non-employee stock options are recorded over the vesting period of the options, which closely approximates the non-employee’s performance period, with the value determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation method and remeasured over the vesting term. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had three stock-based equity compensation plans, which are described above. The employee stock-based compensation cost that has been included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss is shown as below (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Cost of product revenues $ 13 $ 13 $ 13 Research and development 981 746 1,541 Selling, general and administrative 1,085 1,269 1,355 $ 2,079 $ 2,028 $ 2,909 Because the Company had a net operating loss carryforward as of December 31, 2020, no excess tax benefits for the tax deductions related to stock-based compensation expense were recognized in the statement of operations. Additionally, no incremental tax benefits were recognized from stock options exercised during 2020, which would have resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities. Determining Fair Value Valuation and Expense Recognition. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis. The expense for options is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Expected Term. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected life using historical options experience. This develops the expected life by taking the weighted average of the actual life of options exercised and cancelled and assumes that outstanding options are exercised uniformly from the current holding period through the end of the contractual life. Expected Volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Risk-Free Rate. The Company bases the risk-free rate that it uses in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with substantially equivalent remaining terms. Dividends. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of options granted (including fully vested options issued in January 2019 and 2018) and shares purchased under its stock plans and employee stock purchase plan for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Stock Options Risk-free rate 0.5-1.4% 1.5-2.7% 2.7-3.1% Expected dividend yield — — — Expected term (in years) 7.0-7.3 7.5-10.0 7.0-10.0 Volatility 84-87% 79-83% 78-86% Forfeiture rate (1) 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % (1) Effective January 1, 2017, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $86,000, $27,000 and $24,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to the recognition of expenses related to shares purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. As of December 31, 2020, $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options is expected to be recognized over the respective vesting terms of each award through 2024. The weighted average term of the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is 2.6 years. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2020: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Price Number of Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (In years) Weighted- Average Exercise Price Number of Options Exercisable Weighted- Average Exercise Price $0.51 - $0.57 143,750 8.12 $ 0.57 50,418 $ 0.56 $0.58 - $0.58 2,878,012 7.79 $ 0.58 2,165,967 $ 0.58 $0.58 - $0.88 3,561,267 3.65 $ 0.82 3,549,297 $ 0.82 $0.93 - $1.20 2,761,642 4.92 $ 1.15 2,706,954 $ 1.15 $1.21 - $1.21 2,608,933 2.13 $ 1.21 2,606,683 $ 1.21 $1.24 - $1.24 2,869,328 6.84 $ 1.24 2,457,142 $ 1.24 $1.26 - $1.26 40,000 5.28 $ 1.26 40,000 $ 1.26 $1.31 - $1.31 2,755,496 5.62 $ 1.31 2,527,036 $ 1.31 $1.33 - $2.09 5,068,694 4.35 $ 1.81 4,610,445 $ 1.81 $2.10 - $3.61 4,587,317 4.95 $ 2.66 2,798,763 $ 2.95 $0.51 - $3.61 27,274,439 4.98 $ 1.45 23,512,705 $ 1.42 The Company received $3.2 million, $1.9 million and $1.6 million in cash from option exercises under all stock-based compensation plans for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |

Income Taxes | 9. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method under ASC 740, Income Taxes The reconciliation of income tax expenses (benefit) at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, to net income tax benefit included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 U.S. federal taxes benefit at statutory rate $ (122 ) $ (4,321 ) $ (5,318 ) State taxes — — — Change in valuation allowance (2,022 ) 3,142 5,143 Stock-based compensation 268 879 999 Research and development tax credits (1,132 ) (1,004 ) (999 ) Tax Reform change in tax rate and other — — — Expiring net operating losses 2,991 1,252 — Other 17 52 175 Total income tax (benefit) provision $ — $ — $ — In 2020, 2019 and 2018, total income tax provision (benefit) expense was zero. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss and research and other credit carryforwards and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards 87,197 $ 90,102 Research and other credits 19,153 18,860 Deferred revenue 223 248 Stock-based compensation 3,840 4,376 Other 5,204 5,288 Total deferred tax assets 115,617 118,874 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (114,323 ) (117,245 ) Deferred tax liabilities - Right of use asset (1,538 ) (1,873 ) Net deferred tax assets and liabilities $ (244 ) $ (244 ) The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that the Company would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The recognition and measurement of tax benefits requires significant judgment. Judgments concerning the recognition and measurement of tax benefit might change as new information becomes available. Given the Company’s history of operating losses, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance decreased by $2.9 million during 2020 and increased by $4.6 million and $6.3 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $344.7 million, of which approximately $306.3 million will expire in the years 2021 through 2037, and approximately $38.5 million which do not expire, and federal research and development tax credits of approximately $ million, which expire at various dates beginning in 202 1 through 20 40 , if not utilized. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $219.1 million, which expire in the years 2021 through 2040, if not utilized, and state research and development tax credits of approximately $16.7 million, which do not expire. Utilization of the net operating losses may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to federal and state ownership change limitations. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $10.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively (none of which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate). The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of the year $ 9,078 $ 8,432 Increase (decrease) related to prior year tax positions 1,136 (73 ) Increase related to current year tax positions 674 719 Balance at end of the year $ 10,888 $ 9,078 Interest and penalty costs related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as a component of interest and other income, net in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties expenses related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examination for calendar tax years ending 1999 through 2019 due to unutilized net operating losses and research credits. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in the U.S. in March 2020. The CARES Act adjusted a number of provisions in the tax code, including the calculation and eligibility of certain deductions and the treatment of net operating losses and tax credits. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to the Company’s income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2020, or to its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020. The recently enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 has expanded, extended, and clarified selected CARES Act provisions, specifically on Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan and Employee Retention Tax Credit, 100% deductibility of business meals as well as other tax extenders. The Consolidated Appropriations Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision. California Assembly Bill 85 (AB 85) was signed into law in June 2020. The legislation suspends the use of California Net Operating Loss deductions for 2020, 2021, and 2022 for certain taxpayers and imposes a limitation on the use of certain California Tax Credits for 2020, 2021, and 2022. The carryover periods for Net Operating Loss deductions disallowed by this provision will be extended. Given the Company’s loss position in the current year, the new legislation will not impact the current year provision. The Company will continue to monitor possible California net operating loss and credit limitation in future periods. |

Disposal Group Not Discontinued Operation Income Statement Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure | 10. On December 31, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its LACTEL Absorbable Polymers product line to Evonik. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Evonik paid DURECT approximately $15 million subject to certain adjustments, and also agreed to assume certain liabilities with respect to the transferred assets. As a result of the sale of the LACTEL product line, the operating results from our LACTEL product line have been excluded from continuing operations and presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for all periods presented. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain on sale of the LACTEL product line of $12.8 million, upon the completion of sale to Evonik. The results of operations and gain from discontinued operations presented below include certain allocations that management believes fairly reflect the utilization of services provided to the LACTEL product line. The allocations do not include amounts related to general corporate administrative expenses or interest expense. Therefore, these results of operations do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the LACTEL product line operated as a stand-alone entity. The components of income from discontinued operations as reported in the Company’s statement of operations were as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Product revenue, net $ 4,918 $ 4,490 $ 3,289 Total revenues 4,918 4,490 3,289 Operating expenses: Cost of product revenues 3,019 2,880 2,623 Research and development 476 569 488 Selling, general and administrative 515 248 157 Total costs and expenses 4,010 3,697 3,268 Income from discontinued operations 908 793 21 Other income: Gain on sale of the LACTEL product line 12,845 — — Net income from discontinued operations $ 13,753 $ 793 $ 21 Net income per share Basic and diluted $ 0.07 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 Weighted-average shares used in computing net income per share basic and diluted Basic and diluted 199,457 178,042 159,834 The following table presents information related to assets and liabilities reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s balance sheet (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Accounts receivable $ — $ 797 Inventories, net — 1,465 Prepaid expenses and other current assets — 34 Discontinued operations – current portion $ — $ 2,296 Property and equipment, net $ — $ 310 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 200 Goodwill — — Other long-term assets — 22 Discontinued operations – non-current portion $ — $ 532 Accounts payable $ — $ 127 Accrued liabilities — 344 Operating lease liabilities, current portion — 301 Discontinued operations – current portion $ — $ 772 Operating lease liabilities, non-current portion $ — $ 161 Other long-term liabilities — 96 Discontinued operations – non-current portion $ — $ 257 The following table presents certain non-cash items related to discontinued operations, which are included in the Company’s statement of cash flows (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2020 2019 Depreciation $ 198 $ 241 Stock-based compensation expense 91 81 Goodwill 229 — Loss on disposal of property and equipment 129 — $ 647 $ 322 Gain on sale of the LACTEL product line $ 12,845 $ — Non-cash items, net $ (12,198 ) $ 322 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature Of Operations Policy | Nature of Operations DURECT Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 6, 1998. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company with research and development programs broadly falling into two categories: (i) new chemical entities derived from our Epigenetics Regulator Program, in which the Company attempts to discover and develop molecules which have not previously been approved and marketed as therapeutics, and (ii) Proprietary Pharmaceutical Programs, in which the Company applies its formulation expertise and technologies largely to active pharmaceutical ingredients whose safety and efficacy have previously been established but which the Company aims to improve in some manner through a new formulation. The Company has several products under development by itself and with third party collaborators. The Company also manufactures and sells osmotic pumps used in laboratory research, and manufactures certain excipients for certain clients for use as raw materials in their products. In addition, the Company conducts research and development of pharmaceutical products in collaboration with third party pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, the period of performance, identification of deliverables and evaluation of milestones with respect to our collaborations, the amounts of revenues, recoverability of inventory, certain accrued liabilities including accrued clinical trial liability, and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations In December 2020, the Company announced its decision to sell its LACTEL Absorbable Polymer (LACTEL) product line to Evonik, which was completed on December 31, 2020. The accompanying financial statements have been recast for all periods presented to reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses related to the Company’s LACTEL product line as discontinued operations (see Note 10). The Company believes this format provides comparability with its previously filed financial statements. |
Liquidity and Need to Raise Additional Capital Policy | Liquidity and Need to Raise Additional Capital As of December 31, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $489.8 million as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company generally has had negative cash flows from operating activities and expects its negative cash flows to continue. The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including clinical trials of its product candidates. Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements beyond the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are filed, may include seeking additional collaborative agreements for certain of its programs and achieving revenue from its collaboration and licensing agreements as well as financing activities such as public offerings and private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be obtained and that the Company will succeed in its future operations. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital when needed and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected. The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, cash held in escrow, investments and subsequent equity fund raising completed in February 2021 (see Note 11) are sufficient to fund its operating cashflow requirements for a period greater than 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days from the date of purchase but less than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments, while investments with maturities in one year or beyond one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of its cash equivalents and investment securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination as of each balance sheet date. Management has classified the Company’s cash equivalents and investments as available-for-sale securities in the accompanying financial statements. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income. There were no material realized gains or losses in the periods presented. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The Company invests in debt instruments of government agencies, corporations, and money market funds with high credit ratings. The Company has established guidelines regarding diversification of its investments and their maturities with the objectives of maintaining safety and liquidity, while maximizing yield. Total cash held in escrow (related to the sale of the LACTEL product line) was $15 million as of December 31, 2020; the $15 million which was released from escrow in January 2021. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing investments and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and investments with various major financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. In addition, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit quality of its investments. Pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions account for a substantial portion of the Company’s trade receivables. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to its customers and collateral for these receivables is generally not required. The risk associated with this concentration is limited to a certain extent due to the large number of accounts and their geographic dispersion. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses and, to date, such losses have been immaterial in all periods presented. |
Customer and Product Line Concentrations | Customer and Product Line Concentrations (excluding the LACTEL product line) A portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from its ALZET osmotic pump product line, and the sale of certain excipients for Methydur and one excipient that is included in a marketed animal health product. Revenue from the sale of products from the ALZET product line accounted for 20%, 27% and 46% of total revenue for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gilead accounted for 76% and 68% of the Company’s total revenue for 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2018, Indivior and Gilead accounted for 33% and 17% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. Total revenue by geographic region for the years 2020, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 United States $ 26,894 $ 21,957 $ 7,058 Europe 1,386 906 6,476 Japan 1,174 1,472 975 Others 657 739 766 Total $ 30,111 $ 25,074 $ 15,275 Revenue by geography is determined by the location of the customer. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company may be required to expense previously capitalized inventory costs upon a change in management’s judgment due to new information that suggests that the inventory will not be saleable. If the Company is able to subsequently sell products made with raw materials that were previously written down, the Company will report an unusually high gross profit as there will be no associated cost of goods for these materials. The Company’s inventories consisted of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Raw materials $ 136 $ 163 Work in-process 796 709 Finished goods 932 1,047 Total inventories $ 1,864 $ 1,919 |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the terms of the related leases, whichever are shorter. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill is periodically assessed and evaluated for impairment. The Company operates in one operating segment and also has only one reporting unit, which is the research, development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: • significant decline in our stock price for a prolonged period; • our market capitalization relative to net book value; • new information affecting the commercial value of the asset; • significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; • significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; and • significant negative industry or economic trends. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of goodwill was approximately $6.2 million compared with $6.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. As a result of the sale of the LACTEL product line, approximately $229,000 of the carry value of goodwill was allocated to the LACTEL product line upon its disposition. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, goodwill was evaluated and no indicators of impairment were identified. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charge related to goodwill. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets, and other long-term assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is calculated as the amount by which an asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, typically using discounted cash flows to determine fair value. Through December 31, 2020, there have been no material impairment losses. |
Leases | Leases The Company leases administrative, manufacturing and laboratory facilities under operating leases. Lease agreements may include rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and tenant improvement allowances. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" No. 2016-02, Leases, and the related amendments ("Topic 842") Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2019. Other prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under previous lease guidance, ASC Topic 840: Leases (Topic 840). The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification of those leases in place as of January 1, 2019. The adjustments due to the adoption of Topic 842 primarily related to the recognition of an operating lease right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability for the Company’s leased properties. The Company’s operating lease right-of-use asset and liability were recognized at the adoption date of ASC 842 based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term at the adoption date. In determining the net present value of lease payments, we used our incremental borrowing rate of 13.8 % based on the information available, including remaining lease term, at the adoption date of ASC 842. As of December 31, 20 20 , the weighted-average remaining lease term was 2.99 years for the Company’s leased properties . There was no effect from the adoption of Topic 842 on the Company’s Statement of cash flows. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based payments using a fair-value based method for costs related to all share-based payments, including stock options and stock issued under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. See Note 8 for further information regarding stock-based compensation. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company enters into license and collaboration agreements under which the Company may receive upfront license fees, research funding and contingent milestone payments and royalties. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company changed certain characteristics of its revenue recognition accounting policy as described below. ASC 606 was applied using the modified retrospective method, where the cumulative effect of the initial application was recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The Company recorded a net decrease to opening accumulated deficit of $470,000 with an offset entry to reduce deferred revenue as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact relating to the Company’s deferred collaborative research and development revenues. Product Revenue, Net The Company sells osmotic pumps used in laboratory research, and manufactures certain excipients for pharmaceutical clients for use as raw materials in their products. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that the Company would have recognized is one year or less. Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company provides certain customers with discounts that are explicitly stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for products that have been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using its historical sales information. The Company expects product returns to be minimal. Collaborative Research and Development and Other Revenue The Company enters into license agreements, under which it licenses certain rights to its product candidates to third parties. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; reimbursement of development costs incurred by the Company under approved work plans; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services the Company provides through its contract manufacturers; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments results in collaborative research and development revenues, except for revenues from royalties on net sales of licensed products, which are classified as other revenues. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the standalone selling price, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. The Company expects to recognize revenue for the variable consideration currently being constrained when it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. Licenses of intellectual property: If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaborative research and development revenues and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment. Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaborative research and development revenues and net income (loss) in the period of adjustment. Manufacturing Supply Services: Arrangements that include a promise for future supply of drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the customer’s discretion are generally considered as options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations. If the Company is entitled to additional payments when the customer exercises these options, any additional payments are recorded in collaborative research and development revenue when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is upon delivery. Royalties and Earn-outs: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties or earn-outs, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized material royalty revenue resulting from the Company’s collaborative arrangements or material earn-out revenue from the Company’s patent purchase agreement with Indivior. The Company receives payments from its customers based on development cost schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due, and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs its obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less. |
Prepaid and Accrued Contract Research Expenses | Prepaid and Accrued Contract Research Expenses The Company incurs significant costs associated with third party consultants and organizations for pre-clinical studies, clinical trials, contract research and manufacturing, validation, testing, regulatory advice and other research and development-related services. The Company is required to estimate periodically the cost of services rendered but unbilled based on management’s estimates of project status. If these good faith estimates are inaccurate, actual expenses incurred could materially differ from these estimates. Research and development expenses are primarily comprised of salaries and benefits associated with research and development personnel, overhead and facility costs, preclinical and non-clinical development costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract services, and other outside costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs paid to third parties under sponsored research agreements are recognized as the related services are performed. In addition, reimbursements of research and development expenses incurred by the Company’s partners are recorded as collaborative research and development revenue. |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Components of other comprehensive loss are comprised entirely of unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities for all periods presented. Total comprehensive loss has been disclosed in the Company’s Statements of Comprehensive Loss. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company operates in one operating segment, which is the research, development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents (i.e., options to purchase common stock) outstanding during the period, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method for options. The numerators and denominators in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands except per share amounts): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Numerators: Net loss $ (582 ) $ (20,578 ) $ (25,322 ) Denominators: Weighted average shares used to compute basic net loss per share 199,457 178,042 159,834 Effect of dilutive securities: Dilution from stock options — — — Dilution from ESPP — — — Dilutive common shares — — — Weighted average shares used to compute diluted net loss per share 199,457 178,042 159,834 Net loss per share: Basic $ (0.00 ) $ (0.12 ) $ (0.16 ) Diluted $ (0.00 ) $ (0.12 ) $ (0.16 ) The computation of diluted net loss per share for 2020, 2019 and 2018 excludes the impact of options to purchase 7.5 million, 21.4 million and 16.6 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as such impact would be antidilutive. |
Shipping and Handling | Shipping and Handling Costs related to shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues for all periods presented. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (ASU 2018-18) participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e. a unit of account). For units of account that are in the scope of Topic 606, all of the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including the guidance on recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. ASU 2018-18 also adds a reference in Topic 808 to the unit of account guidance in ASC 606 and requires that it be applied only to assess whether transactions in a collaborative arrangement are in the scope of Topic 606. ASU 2018-18 will preclude entities from presenting amounts related to transactions with a counterparty in a collaborative arrangement that is not a customer as revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2018-18 is effective for the Company for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements . In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, (ASU 2017-04) In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for small reporting companies, including interim reporting periods within those years and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with certain exceptions. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial statements. |

The Company signed a license agreement with Gilead on July 19, 2019 and received a nonrefundable upfront license fee and a milestone payment totaling $35.0 million in 2019 which was being recognized as revenue as its obligation was being satisfied using the cost-to-cost input method (see Note 2. Strategic Agreements - Agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. in the financial statements). In June 2020, the Company received notice that Gilead was terminating the License Agreement and a related R&D agreement between Gilead and the Company. As a result, the Company recognized all its remaining deferred revenue as there were no remaining substantive performance obligations to be provided to Gilead by the Company as of the date when the termination notice was received. Amounts recognized as revenue during each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 also included the Company’s reimbursable collaborative research and development services performed under its agreement with Gilead.

While the main program is on pause, the parties are working together on a limited set of research and development activities funded by Santen. |

[1] | Amounts related to recognition of upfront fees and milestone payments were $22.7 million, $12.3 million and zero for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company signed a license agreement with Gilead on July 19, 2019 and received a nonrefundable upfront license fee and a milestone payment totaling $35.0 million in 2019 which was being recognized as revenue as its obligation was being satisfied using the cost-to-cost input method (see Note 2. Strategic Agreements - Agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. in the financial statements). In June 2020, the Company received notice that Gilead was terminating the License Agreement and a related R&D agreement between Gilead and the Company. As a result, the Company recognized all its remaining deferred revenue as there were no remaining substantive performance obligations to be provided to Gilead by the Company as of the date when the termination notice was received. Amounts recognized as revenue during each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 also included the Company’s reimbursable collaborative research and development services performed under its agreement with Gilead. | ||||
[2] | Includes: (a) amounts related to earn-out revenue from Indivior UK Limited (Indivior) with respect to PERSERIS net sales; (b) feasibility programs; (c) research and development activities funded by Santen Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Santen); and (d) royalty revenue from OP Pharma with respect to Methydur net sales. Note that in January 2018, the Company was notified by Santen that due to a shift in priorities, Santen had elected to reallocate research and development resources and put the Company’s program on pause until further notice. While the main program is on pause, the parties are working together on a limited set of research and development activities funded by Santen. |
