Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business Description and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 Business Description and Basis of Presentation Business Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of differentiated therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases including drug candidates to treat Alzheimer’s disease, other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, pain and various types of cancer. The Company’s lead compound ANAVEX 2-73 is being developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and potentially other CNS diseases, including rare diseases, such as Rett syndrome. Basis of Presentation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2017. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Research and Development Incentive Income The Company participates, through its subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian government’s research and development incentive program. The research and development incentive program provides a refundable tax offset to eligible companies that engage in research and development activities in Australia. The Company recognizes as other income the amount received for qualified expenses, in the period they are received. Basic and Diluted Loss per Share Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the weighted average number of all potentially dilutive securities convertible into shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2017, loss per share excludes 6,746,964 (September 30, 2016 – 6,008,309) potentially dilutive common shares related to outstanding options and warrants, as their effect was anti-dilutive. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Period In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued the Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Upon adoption, an entity must apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a converged standard on revenue recognition from contracts with customers, ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606 and IFRS 15). This standard will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any period presented. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to bifurcate deferred taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any period presented. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases In March 2016, the FASB issued ASC 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, (“ASC 230”) including providing additional guidance on how and what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash flows. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 clarifies certain existing principles in ASC 230, including providing additional guidance related to transfers between cash and restricted cash and how entities present, in their statement of cash flows, the cash receipts and cash payments that directly affect the restricted cash accounts. These amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 will modify the Company’s current disclosures and reclassifications within the consolidated statement of cash flows but they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, “Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on October 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other than noted above, the Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow. |

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $69,146 and $121,116, respectively (2016: $47,767 and $113,701) of this grant on its statement of operations within grant income. Research and development tax incentive During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company received other income of $Nil and $2,022,902, respectively (2016: $Nil and $571,093, respectively) in respect of a research and development incentive program offered by the Australian government. |

Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement | Note 4 Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement On October 21, 2015, the Company entered into a $50,000,000 purchase agreement (the “2015 Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company may sell and issue to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $50,000,000 in value of its shares of common stock from time to time over a 36-month period. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park whereby the Company agreed to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion, and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock on any business day, provided that at least one business day has passed since the most recent purchase. The amount of a purchase may be increased under certain circumstances provided, however that Lincoln Park’s committed obligation under any single purchase shall not exceed $2,000,000. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to the future funding will be based on the then prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales as described in the 2015 Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the 2015 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 179,598 shares of common stock as a commitment fee and agreed to issue up to 89,799 shares pro rata, when and if, Lincoln Park purchases at the Company’s discretion the $50,000,000 aggregate commitment.

These amounts have been included in general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses on the Company’s statement of operations as follows: Three months ended June 30, Nine months ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 General and administrative $ 574,470 $ 127,473 $ 1,452,181 $ 715,991 Research and development 585,246 102,766 1,565,695 560,976 Total share based compensation $ 1,159,716 $ 230,239 $ 3,017,876 $ 1,276,967 An amount of approximately $8,872,029 in stock based compensation is expected to be recorded over the remaining term of such options through March 31, 2020. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: 2017 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.98 % 1.67 % Expected life of options (years) 6.82 6.63 Annualized volatility 111.67 % 105.21 % Dividend rate 0.00 % 0.00 % The fair value of restricted stock compensation charges during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was determined with reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s shares on the commitment date. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Period In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain circumstances. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued the Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Upon adoption, an entity must apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a converged standard on revenue recognition from contracts with customers, ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606 and IFRS 15). This standard will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any period presented. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 eliminates the requirement to bifurcate deferred taxes between current and non-current on the balance sheet and requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments for ASU-2015-17 can be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any period presented. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases In March 2016, the FASB issued ASC 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, (“ASC 230”) including providing additional guidance on how and what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash flows. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 clarifies certain existing principles in ASC 230, including providing additional guidance related to transfers between cash and restricted cash and how entities present, in their statement of cash flows, the cash receipts and cash payments that directly affect the restricted cash accounts. These amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 will modify the Company’s current disclosures and reclassifications within the consolidated statement of cash flows but they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, “Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis beginning on October 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other than noted above, the Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow. |
