Business Of Company | |
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY | 1. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY Description of Business Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“the Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Hayward, California. The Company currently licenses two compounds, Sollpura and blisibimod. The Company licensed Sollpura from Eli Lilly & Co (“Eli Lilly”) in July 2014. Sollpura is a novel, non-porcine investigational Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (“PERT”) intended for the treatment of patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (“EPI”), often seen in patients with cystic fibrosis and other conditions. The Company licensed blisibimod from Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”) in December 2007. Blisibimod targets B-cell activating factor or (“BAFF”) which has been shown to be elevated in a variety of B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases, including Immunoglobulin A nephropathy, or IgA nephropathy. Since incorporation, the Company has been primarily performing research and development activities, including clinical trials, manufacturing of clinical drugs, filing patent applications, hiring personnel, and raising capital to support and expand these activities. On March 12, 2018, the Company announced that the RESULT Phase 3 clinical trial of Sollpura for the treatment of patients with EPI did not meet its primary endpoint of non-inferiority to porcine PERT. All ongoing clinical trials of Sollpura were concluded by the end of April 2018. The Company has also discontinued the development of blisibimod. Liquidity and Need for Additional Capital The Company has never generated net income from operations, and, at March 31, 2018, had an accumulated deficit of $442.2 million, primarily as a result of research and development and general and administrative expenses. Due to the RESULT clinical trial not meeting its primary endpoint, in April 2018, the Company began a formal process of evaluating strategic alternatives and implemented a number of cost reduction measures, including a 90% reduction in its workforce and termination of major vendor contracts, which substantially reduced the Company’s capital needs in the foreseeable future . As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.1 million. The Company’s current cash balance is not expected to fund its operations through the next twelve months. As such, in April 2018, the Company began to wind down its activities. The Company also decided to discontinue further development of Sollpura and blisibimod and devote its time and resources to identifying and evaluating strategic alternatives. . If a strategic transaction is not consummated, the Company may be required to dissolve or liquidate. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2018. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim consolidated financial information. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any other period. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but it does not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date and has disclosed all events or transactions that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would require recognition or disclosure in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including critical accounting policies or estimates related to clinical trial accruals, tax provision, stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities, and computation of beneficial conversion features. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market specific and other relevant assumptions that it 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 may differ significantly from these estimates. Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Equity and Liabilities The Company has issued certain financial instruments, including warrants to purchase common stock, which have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Financial instruments such as warrants that are classified as liabilities are fair valued upon issuance and are re-measured at fair value at subsequent reporting periods with the resulting change in fair value recorded in other income/(expense). The fair value of warrants is estimated using valuation models that require the input of subjective assumptions including stock price volatility, expected life, and the probability of future equity issuances. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception, (ASU 2017-11). Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect it to have a significant impact. In May 2017, the FASB issued, ASU-2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This guidance clarifies when changes to the terms and conditions of share-based awards must be accounted for as modifications. The guidance does not change the accounting treatment for modifications. The Company adopted this guidance from January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE | 3. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. The computation of diluted Earnings Per Share, or EPS, is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends. Diluted EPS is identical to basic EPS since common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation, as their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the Company’s calculation of net loss per common share (in thousands except share and per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31 2018 2017 Net loss per share Numerator Net loss $ (7,724 ) $ (11,207 ) Deemed dividend attributable to preferred stock (1,540 ) (2,503 ) Net loss applicable to common stockholders $ (9,264 ) $ (13,710 ) Denominator Weighted average common shares outstanding 22,166,869 6,759,567 Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (0.42 ) $ (2.03 ) The following outstanding options, warrants, and Series X convertible preferred stock that are potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the effect of including them would have been antidilutive.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurement and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the use of observable market data when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on active market data. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into the three input levels summarized below: · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for all its financial assets and liabilities (including those in cash and cash equivalents), in thousands, by major security type measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands): March 31, 2018 Estimated Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 7,989 7,989 $ — $ — Liabilities: Warrant Liability $ 704 $ — $ — $ 704 December 31, 2017 Estimated Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 2,097 $ 2,097 $ — $ — Liabilities: Warrant liability $ 4,457 $ — $ — $ 4,457 The Company used quoted market prices to determine the fair value of cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds and therefore these are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Warrants containing price protection rights are accounted for as liabilities, with changes in the fair values included in net loss for the respective periods. Because some of the inputs to the valuation model are either not observable or are not derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, the warrant liability is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s Level 3 warrant liability (in thousands): March 31, 2018 Beginning balance at December 31, 2017 $ 4,457 Decrease in fair value of warrant liability from January 1 to March 31, 2018 (3,290 ) Balance reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon exercise of warrants (463 ) Ending balance $ 704 There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017. |
WARRANT LIABILITY

Warrant Liability | |
WARRANT LIABILITY | 5. WARRANT LIABILITY Pursuant to an underwriting agreement entered into in March 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase 30,000,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.55 per share (“Tranche 1 Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 30,000,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share (“Tranche 2 Warrants”) to the investors. On April 28, 2017, the Company implemented a one-for-eight reverse split of its outstanding common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the number of authorized shares of common stock, which remained at 100,000,000, but did increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, resulting in sufficient authorized shares of common stock to settle the warrants. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price of the Tranche 1 Warrants were 3,750,007 and $4.40, respectively, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price of the Tranche 2 Warrants were 3,750,007 and $4.00, respectively. The Tranche 1 Warrants will expire on April 28, 2022 and the Tranche 2 Warrants expired on October 27, 2017. The exercise price of the Tranche 1 Warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock combination, reverse split, or similar transaction involving common stock (each, a “Stock Combination Event”) if the average volume weighted average price (“VWAP") of the common stock for the five lowest trading days during the 15 consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the 16 th The Company accounted for the warrants under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging 1. On the date of issuance, the warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock because the underlying instruments were not “fixed-for-fixed” due to the exercise price being subject to adjustment in a Stock Combination Event. 2. The warrants permit the holder to require the Company to settle the warrants for cash in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of the warrants in the event of a fundamental transaction, including a sale of the business. At the end of each reporting period, the changes in fair value during the period are recorded as a component of non-operating income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The initial fair value of the liability associated with these warrants was $14.7 million. The Tranche 2 warrants, which expired in October 2017 were out of the money and had a fair value of zero upon expiration. As of March 31, 2018, the fair value of the liability associated with the Tranche 1 Warrants decreased to $0.7 million from $4.5 million as of December 31, 2017 due to as well as reduction in the number of outstanding warrants pursuant to exercises by the warrant holders. The decrease in fair value of the warrant liability was recorded as non-operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model with the following valuation assumptions March 31, 2018 Common stock price $ 0.32 Exercise price $ 1.89 Expected volatility 132.1 % Dividend yield 0 % Risk-free interest rate 2.53 % Expected term (years) 4.08 For the fair value determination, the Company computed the historical volatility based on daily pricing observations for a period that corresponds to the expected term of the warrants. The expected term for all valuation dates were based on the remaining contractual terms of the warrants. The risk-free interest rates were the U.S. Treasury bond rate as of the valuation months and years. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases The Company subleases its main operating facility in Hayward, California. The lease is for approximately 8,000 square feet and the sublease agreement will expire on August 31, 2019. In April 2016, the Company leased its second operating facility in Pleasanton, California for approximately 1,200 square feet, which was subsequently terminated early by the Company in February 2018. Other Commitments In December 2007, the Company and Amgen entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement (the “Amgen Agreement”) to develop and commercialize blisibimod in any indication, including for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (“lupus”). Under the terms of the Amgen Agreement, the Company paid a nonrefundable, upfront license fee of $6.0 million. As there was no future alternative use for the technology, the Company expensed the license fee in research and development expenses during 2007. Under the terms of the Amgen Agreement, the Company is obligated to make additional milestone payments to Amgen of up to $33.0 million upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones. The Company is also obligated to pay tiered royalties on future net sales of products, ranging from the high single digits to the low double digits, which are developed and approved as defined by this collaboration. The Company’s royalty obligations as to a particular licensed product will be payable, on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis, for the longer of (a) the date of expiration of the last to expire valid claim within the licensed patents that covers the manufacture, use or sale, offer to sell, or import of such licensed product by the Company or a sublicense in such country or (b) 10 years after the first commercial sale of the applicable licensed product in the applicable country. On July 11, 2014, the Company and Eli Lilly and Company (“Eli Lilly”) entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement (the “Lilly Agreement”), to develop and commercialize Sollpura, a Phase 3 novel investigational Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (“PERT”), for the treatment of patients with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, or EPI, often seen in patients with cystic fibrosis and other conditions. Under the terms of the Lilly Agreement, the Company was not required to make any up-front payment but is obligated to make milestone payments of up to up to $33.5 million for capsule products and $9.5 million for reformulated products upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial sales milestones, none of which have been achieved as of March 31, 2018. In addition, after sales of the licensed products exceed an aggregate of $100.0 million in the United States, the Company is obligated to pay tiered royalties on future net sales of products, ranging from the single digits to the mid-teens, that are developed and approved as defined in the Lilly Agreement. The Company’s royalty obligations as to a particular licensed product will be payable, on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis, for the longer of (a) the date of expiration of the last to expire valid claim within the licensed patents that covers the manufacture, use or sale, offer to sell, or import of such licensed product by the Company or a sublicense in such country, or (b) 12 years after the first commercial sale of the applicable licensed product in the applicable country. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Preferred Stock The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to designate the terms and conditions of any preferred stock issued by the Company without further action by the common stockholders. The Company designated 17,000 and 2,067,522 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series X Convertible Preferred stock and Class Y Convertible Preferred stock, respectively. In September 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which it sold 17,000 Series X units for a purchase price of $1,000 per unit in a registered direct offering (the “Subscription Agreement”). Each unit consists of one share of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 15.87 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2018, all 17,000 shares of Series X convertible preferred stock have been converted into shares of common stock. On October 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with a select group of investors (the “Purchasers”). The Private Placement was structured with two closings. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at the second closing on January 9, 2018, (the “Second Closing”), the Purchasers purchased 7,625,741 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.25 per share and 2,067,522 shares of the Company’s non-voting Class Y Convertible Preferred Stock (“Class Y Convertible Preferred Stock”) at $1.25 per share, convertible into 2,067,522 shares of Company common stock upon certain conditions. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Class Y Preferred Stock will participate pari passu As of March 31, 2018, all 2,067,522 shares of Class Y Convertible Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of common stock. Accounting Treatment The Company has allocated the proceeds from the Private Placement amongst the Class Y Preferred Stock, common stock, and the warrants to purchase shares of common stock based on the relative fair values, as all the instruments are equity classified. · Beneficial Conversion Feature Common Stock In March 2018, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 for the proposed offering from time to time of up to $100.0 million of its securities, including common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units. As of March 31, 2018, the balance of $100.0 million is available for future issuance under the registration statement. The S-3 registration statement is subject to Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, which imposes a limitation on the maximum amount of securities that the Company may sell pursuant to the registration statement during any twelve-month period. When the Company sells securities pursuant to the registration statement, the amount of securities to be sold plus the amount of any securities the Company has sold during the prior twelve months in reliance on Instruction I.B.6. may not exceed one-third of the aggregate market value of its outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates as of a day during the 60 days immediately preceding such sale, as computed in accordance with Instruction I.B.6. Based on this calculation, the Company expects it will be significantly limited to sell securities pursuant to its effective registration statement on Form S-3 for a period of twelve months from March 5, 2018, unless and until the market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates increases to above $75 million. If the Company cannot sell securities under its shelf registration statement, the Company may be required to utilize more costly and time-consuming means of accessing the capital markets, which could materially adversely affect its liquidity and cash position. In June 2017, the Company executed an equity purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, LLP. (“LPC”) (the “2017 Equity Purchase Agreement”) to sell to LPC up to an aggregate of $10.0 million in shares of common stock and issue up to 181,708 shares of our common stock valued at $0.3 million as a commitment fee to LPC over a period of thirty months. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has sold an aggregate of 1,870,411 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $3.1 million and issued an aggregate of 139,848 shares of common stock as commitment fee to LPC and maximized the number of shares of common stock it can sell to LPC pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)(2). On October 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) for a private placement of equity securities (the “Private Placement”) with a select group of accredited investors (the “Purchasers”). The Private Placement was structured with two closings. The first closing occurred on October 27, 2017 (“Initial Closing”) and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million. The second closing (“Second Closing”) was conditioned upon and subject to the Company receiving the requisite shareholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), which was obtained on January 5, 2018. The Second Closing subsequently occurred on January 9, 2018 and resulted in incremental allocated proceeds of $11.1 million. Pursuant to the SPA, at the Initial Closing, the Purchasers purchased 2,306,737 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.25 per share. Each share of common stock was issued with a warrant to purchase 3.0 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share. At the Second Closing, the Purchasers purchased 7,625,741 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.25 per share and 2,067,522 shares of the Company’s non-voting Class Y Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Class Y Preferred Stock”) at $1.25 per share, convertible into 2,067,522 shares of Company common stock upon certain conditions. Each share of common stock or Class Y Preferred Stock was issued with a warrant that was immediately exercisable to purchase 1.0 additional share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The financial instrument represented by the obligation to issue Class Y Preferred Stock and warrants upon shareholder approval is equity classified. The Company accounted for the Initial Closing in October 2017 and the Second Closing in January 2018. For both closings, the Company allocated the net proceeds based on the relative fair value method. As of March 31, 2018, all of the 2,067,522 shares of Class Y Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 2,067,522 shares of common stock. At March 31, 2018, the Company had reserved the following shares for future issuance: Common stock options outstanding 6,724,345 Common stock warrants outstanding 18,725,764 Common stock options available for future grant under stock option plan 584,257 Common stock available for future grant under ESPP plan 504,069 Total 26,538,435 Warrants In connection with the issuance of Series X convertible preferred stock in September 2016, the Company issued warrants to certain institutional investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. On November 16, 2016, the exercise price and number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants became fixed at $18.90 and 269,779, respectively. The warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time after March 13, 2017 and will expire on September 13, 2019. As of March 31, 2018, the warrants remained outstanding. These warrants are classified in permanent equity on the Company’s consolidated Balance Sheet. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the sale of common stock and warrants in March 2017, the Company issued 30,000,000 Tranche 1 Warrants at an initial exercise price of $0.55 per share and 30,000,000 Tranche 2 Warrants at an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share to the investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. On April 28, 2017, with shareholders’ approval, the Company effectuated a one-for-eight reverse split of its outstanding common stock. Subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split, the Tranche 1 Warrant shares and exercise prices were adjusted to 3,750,007 and $4.40, respectively, and the Tranche 2 Warrant shares and exercise price were adjusted to 3,750,007 and $4.00, respectively. Effective as of May 22, 2017, the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Warrants’ exercise price were further adjusted to $1.8918 pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreements. A total of 96,021 Tranche 2 Warrants were exercised on October 5, 2017 and the remaining 3,653,986 Tranche 2 Warrants expired on October 27, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, a total of 236,318 Tranche 1 Warrants were exercised at $1.8918 per share, leaving a balance of 3,507,626 Tranche 1 Warrants outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2018 with an expiry date of April 28, 2022. These warrants are classified as liabilities on the Company’s consolidated Balance Sheet until the warrants are exercised or expired, (see Note 5). Pursuant to the Private Placement for the sale of common stock and warrants in October 2017, the Company issued warrants to certain institutional investors to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Private Placement was structured with two closings. The Initial Closing occurred in October 2017, which resulted in the Company issuing 6,920,211 warrants (“Initial Closing Warrants”) to the investors at an exercise price of $1.55 per share and a term of five years and six months. As of March 31, 2018, the Initial Closing Warrants remained outstanding. The Second Closing occurred in January 2018 and resulted in the Company issuing 9,693,263 warrants (“Second Closing Warrants”) to the investors at an exercise price of $1.25 per share and a term of five years. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, a total of 1,665,115 Second Closing Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $1.25, leaving a balance of 8,028,148 outstanding. Warrants from both closings are classified in equity pursuant to the accounting guidance prescribed under ASC Topic 815, ASC Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Financial Instruments – Registration Payment Arrangements Initial Closing Second Closing Common stock price $ 1.72 $ 1.50 Exercise price $ 1.55 $ 1.25 Expected volatility 110 % 113 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Risk-free interest rate 1.98 % 2.18 % Expected term (years) 5.5 5.0 For the fair value determination, the Company computed the historical volatility based on daily pricing observations for a period that corresponds to the expected terms of the warrants, which were based on the contractual terms of the warrants.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS | 8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS 2018 Plan In December 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which was also approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of the shareholders on January 5, 2018. The Company initially reserved 6,000,000 shares of its common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2018 Plan, plus all shares remaining available for grant under the Company’s 2013 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), plus any additional shares returned under the 2010 Plan and 2013 Plan as a result of the cancellation, forfeiture or other termination (other than by exercise) of awards issued pursuant to the 2010 Plan and 2013 Plan, subject in all cases to adjustment including reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock. Of the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan, no more than 2,000,000 shares can be issued to any individual participant as incentive options, non-qualified options or stock appreciation rights during any calendar year. The 2018 Plan permits the granting of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, cash-based awards and dividend equivalent rights to eligible employees, directors and consultants. The option exercise price of an option granted under the 2018 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Options granted under the 2018 Plan have a maximum term of 10 years and generally vest over four years. In addition, in the case of certain large stockholders, the minimum exercise price of incentive options must equal 110% of fair market value on the date of grant and the maximum term is limited to five years. Subject to overall Plan limitations, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued in the form of incentive options shall not exceed 6,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2018 Plan does not allow the option holders to exercise their options prior to vesting. The terms of awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the method for determining the grant date fair value of the awards were consistent with those described in the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (in thousands except share and per share information): Number of Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value Balance at December 31, 2017 1,066,121 $ 10.04 8.68 $ 18 Granted 6,190,674 $ 1.65 Exercised — — Cancelled and expired (4,257 ) $ 30.43 Forfeited (528,283 ) $ 1.65 Balance at March 31, 2018 6,724,345 $ 2.96 9.50 $ — Exercisable at March 31, 2018 2,576,796 $ 4.01 9.23 $ — The intrinsic value of stock options represents the difference between the exercise price of stock options and the market price of our stock on that day for all in-the-money options. As of March 31, 2018, there was $7.42 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.28 years. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value stock options are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Expected Volatility 106 % 106 % Dividend Yield 0 % 0 % Risk-Free Interest Rate 2.24 % 2.12 % Expected Term (years) 5.82 6.02 Weighted-average fair value per option $ 1.35 $ 4.20 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) Effective July 2010, under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees of the Company may authorize the Company to deduct amounts from their compensation, which amounts are used to enable the employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. On each January 1, the number of shares of stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan is increased by the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or (ii) 31,250 shares of common stock. Under the ESPP, eligible employees of the Company may authorize the Company to deduct amounts from their compensation, which amounts are used to enable the employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price per share is 85% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the first date or the ending date of the applicable semi-annual purchase period, whichever is less (the “Look-Back Provision”). The 15% discount and the Look-Back Provision make the ESPP compensatory. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to value the employee stock purchase rights. There were no participants in the ESPP as at March 31, 2018. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Total stock-based compensation expense, including expense recorded for the ESPP, was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 2017 Research and development $ 1,168 $ 396 General and administrative 2,098 690 Total $ 3,266 $ 1,086 |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN17
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2018 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2018. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim consolidated financial information. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any other period. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but it does not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP. The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date and has disclosed all events or transactions that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would require recognition or disclosure in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including critical accounting policies or estimates related to clinical trial accruals, tax provision, stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities, and computation of beneficial conversion features. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market specific and other relevant assumptions that it 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 may differ significantly from these estimates. |
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Equity and Liabilities | Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Equity and Liabilities The Company has issued certain financial instruments, including warrants to purchase common stock, which have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Financial instruments such as warrants that are classified as liabilities are fair valued upon issuance and are re-measured at fair value at subsequent reporting periods with the resulting change in fair value recorded in other income/(expense). The fair value of warrants is estimated using valuation models that require the input of subjective assumptions including stock price volatility, expected life, and the probability of future equity issuances. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception, (ASU 2017-11). Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on its financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect it to have a significant impact. In May 2017, the FASB issued, ASU-2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This guidance clarifies when changes to the terms and conditions of share-based awards must be accounted for as modifications. The guidance does not change the accounting treatment for modifications. The Company adopted this guidance from January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date |
