Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | 1. Description of Business Organization NantKwest, Inc., or NantKwest, was incorporated in Illinois on October 7, 2002 under the name ZelleRx Corporation. On January 22, 2010, the company changed its name to Conkwest, Inc., and on July 10, 2015, the company changed its name to NantKwest, Inc. In March 2014, the company redomesticated from the State of Illinois to the State of Delaware and the Illinois company ceased to exist. We are a pioneering clinical-stage immunotherapy biotechnology company headquartered in San Diego, California with certain operations in Culver City and El Segundo, California and Woburn, Massachusetts. In these notes, the terms “we,” “our,” “our company” and “us” refer to NantKwest. We are focused on harnessing the power of the innate immune system by using the natural killer cell to treat cancer and viral infectious diseases. A critical aspect of our strategy is to invest significantly in innovating new therapeutic candidates, based upon our activated natural killer, or aNK, cell platform, as well as clinical testing and scale manufacturing of our leading product candidates. We hold the exclusive right to commercialize aNK cells, a commercially viable natural killer cell-line, and a variety of genetically modified derivatives capable of killing cancer and virally infected cells. We own corresponding United States, or U.S., and foreign composition and methods-of-use patents and applications covering the cells, improvements, methods of expansion and manufacture and use of aNK cells as a therapeutic to treat a spectrum of clinical conditions. We also license exclusive commercial rights to a CD16 receptor expressing improvement of our aNK cell line, covered in a portfolio of U.S. and foreign composition and methods-of-use patents and applications covering both the non-clinical use in laboratory testing of monoclonal antibodies, as well as clinical use as a therapeutic to treat cancers in combination with antibody products. We have non-exclusively licensed or sub-licensed our CD16 bearing aNK cell lines and corresponding intellectual property to numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for such non-clinical uses. Liquidity As of June 30, 2019, the company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $631.0 million. We also had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $29.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The company expects that it will likely need additional capital to further fund development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and to begin to commercialize any approved products. We are currently focused primarily on the development of immunotherapeutic treatments for cancers and debilitating viral infections using targeted cancer and viral killing cell lines, and we believe such activities will result in the company’s continued incurrence of significant research and development and other expenses related to those programs. If the clinical trials for any of our product candidates fail or produce unsuccessful results and those product candidates do not gain regulatory approval, or if any of our product candidates, if approved, fail to achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable. Even if the company achieves profitability in the future, it may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. The company intends to cover its future operating expenses through cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities on hand and through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements. Additional financing may not be available to us when needed and, if available, financing may not be obtained on terms favorable to the company or its stockholders. While we expect our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities will enable us to fund operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months, we may not have sufficient funds to reach commercialization. Failure to obtain adequate financing when needed may require us to delay, reduce, limit, or terminate some or all of our development programs or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we might otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, which could adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders may result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies other than the adoption of accounting pronouncements described below under Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards – Adopted Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable debt securities, and our ability to borrow from affiliated entities, will be sufficient to fund operations through at least the next 12 months following the issuance date of the financial statements based upon our Chairman and CEO’s intent and ability to support the company’s operations with additional funds, including loans from affiliated entities, as required. We may also seek to sell additional equity, through one or more follow-on public offerings, or in separate financings, or obtain a credit facility. However, we may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms. Without additional funds, we may choose to delay or reduce our operating or investment expenditures. Further, because of the risk and uncertainties associated with the commercialization of the company’s drug product candidates in development, we may need additional funds to meet our needs sooner than planned. To date, the company’s primary sources of capital were its initial public offering and the concurrent private placement of common shares. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer exercised warrants and options resulting in aggregate cash proceeds of $39.2 million. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of results of income, comprehensive income, financial position, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Principles of Consolidation and Equity Investments The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NantKwest and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. We apply the variable interest model under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 810, Consolidation For entities we hold as an equity investment that are not consolidated under the VIE Model, we consider whether our investment constitutes ownership of a majority of the voting interests in the entity and therefore should be considered for consolidation under the voting interest model. Unconsolidated equity investments in the common stock or in-substance common stock of an entity under which we are able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Our ability to exercise significant influence is generally indicated by ownership of 20 to 50 percent interest in the voting securities of the entity. All other unconsolidated equity investments on which we are not able to exercise significant influence will be subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the instance the equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Investments—Equity Securities We own non-marketable equity securities that are accounted for using the measurement alternative under ASC 321 because the preferred stock held by us is not considered in-substance common stock and such preferred stock does not have a readily determinable fair value. All investments are reviewed on a regular basis for possible impairment. If an investment's fair value is determined to be less than its net carrying value, the investment is written down to its fair value. Such an evaluation is judgmental and dependent on specific facts and circumstances. Factors considered in determining whether an impairment indicator is present include: the investees’ earnings performance and clinical trial performance, change in the investees’ industry and geographic area in which it operates, offers to purchase or sell the security for a price less than the cost of the investment, issues that raise concerns about the investee's ability to continue as a going concern, and any other information that we may be aware of related to the investment. Factors considered in determining whether an observable price change has occurred include: the price at which the investee issues equity instruments similar to those of our investment and the rights and preferences of those equity instruments compared to ours. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to valuation of equity-based awards, valuation of the allowance for deferred tax assets, preclinical and clinical trial accruals, impairment assessments, and the useful lives of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and Uncertainties Contingencies We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause a change in the potential amount of the liability recorded or of the range of potential losses disclosed. Additionally, we record our rights to insurance recoveries, limited to the extent of incurred or probable losses, as a receivable when such recoveries have been agreed to with our third-party insurers and when receipt is deemed probable. This includes instances when our third-party insurers have agreed to pay, on our behalf, certain legal defense costs and settlement amounts directly to applicable law firms and a settlement fund. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities. Our cash and cash equivalents are held by one major financial institution in the U.S. and one in Korea. Drug product candidates developed by us will require approvals or clearances from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any of our drug product candidates will receive any of the required approvals or clearances. If we were to be denied approval or clearance or any such approval or clearance was to be delayed, it would have a material adverse impact on us. Impairment The company follows Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, ASC 360 to evaluate its long-lived assets. The company’s long-lived assets, which include property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. We consider the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in our overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. We evaluate assets for impairment at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of impairment indicators. Impairment charges, if any, are included in operating expenses. During the second quarter of 2019, we determined that certain bioreactor laboratory equipment could not be utilized in the production process. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $0.9 million, which is included in research and development expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Lease Obligations We adopted FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases Leases For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. At lease commencement, leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term; (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised; (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any guaranteed residual value that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or (5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria. We do not currently have any leases classified as finance leases. Our operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, net, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At the commencement date, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are determined based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any rent paid prior to the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected to combine our lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) with non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs and equipment maintenance costs) and as such, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. Lease expense also includes amounts relating to variable lease payments. Variable lease payments include amounts relating to common area maintenance and real estate taxes. We also elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for qualifying short-term leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception. Such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The depreciable life of operating right-of-use-assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table details those securities that have been excluded from the computation of potentially dilutive securities: As of June 30, 2019 2018 Outstanding options 4,506,950 5,693,250 Outstanding RSUs 1,378,113 890,512 Outstanding warrants — 17,699,413 Total 5,885,063 24,283,175 Amounts in the table above reflect the common stock equivalents of the noted instruments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards – Adopted We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, using the simplified transition approach which allows us to not recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new lease standard, while including required disclosures under ASC 840 for all periods presented under ASC 840. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to not reassess (1) whether a contract is or contains a lease, and (2) the classification of existing leases. The adoption of ASC 842 had a substantial impact on our balance sheet. The most significant impacts were (i) the recognition of $13.5 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and $16.4 million of operating lease liabilities, and (ii) the derecognition of assets and liabilities associated with the build-to-suit leases under ASC 840 (resulting in the derecognition of property, plant and equipment, net, of $6.6 million and net adjustments to related liabilities of $5.7 million). The build-to-suit leases were recorded as normal operating leases under ASC 842. The difference between the excess of build-to-suit related liabilities and assets of $0.9 million was recorded as an increase to our accumulated deficit. The cumulative-effect adjustment had no tax impact due to the valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax asset less reversing deferred tax liabilities. Adoption of this standard had no material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2018‑02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the ASC), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission during the three months ended June 30, 2019 did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |

Viracta Investment and Convertible Notes | 4. Viracta Investment and Convertible Notes In March 2017, we participated in a Series B convertible preferred stock financing and invested $8.5 million in Viracta Therapeutics, Inc., or Viracta, a clinical stage drug development company. In May 2017, we executed an exclusive worldwide license with Viracta to develop and commercialize Viracta’s proprietary histone deacetylase inhibitor drug candidate for use in combination with NK cell therapy and possibly additional therapies. In June 2018, Viracta executed a 2018 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with existing and new investors, including us. The initial closing under the Purchase Agreement occurred in June 2018, at which point we purchased a convertible note for $0.4 million, which under certain circumstances was convertible into preferred stock of Viracta, and a warrant to purchase Viracta’s common shares. The convertible note accrued interest at 8% and had a one-year maturity date. In September 2018, a milestone closing under the Purchase Agreement occurred, at which point we purchased an additional convertible note for $0.4 million, which under certain circumstances was convertible into preferred stock of Viracta, and a warrant to purchase Viracta’s common shares. We classified the convertible notes as held-to-maturity notes receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Effective January 31, 2019, the notes, together with accrued interest then outstanding, were converted to Series B preferred stock resulting in an increase to our investment in Viracta’s Series B convertible preferred stock of $0.8 million. In May 2019, we exercised warrants to acquire 253,120 shares of Viracta common stock. At June 30, 2019, our investment in Viracta totaled $9.3 million. Based on the level of equity investment at risk, Viracta is not a VIE and therefore is not consolidated under the VIE Model. In addition, we do not hold a controlling financial interest in Viracta and therefore we do not consolidate Viracta under the voting interest model. As the preferred stock is not considered in-substance common stock, the investment is not within the scope of accounting for the investment under the equity method. As the preferred stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with ASC 820, we have elected to apply the measurement alternative under ASC 321, pursuant to which we measure our investment in Viracta at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in an orderly market for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. As of June 30, 2019, our qualitative impairment assessment did not indicate there were events or changes in circumstances that may have had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. We have not recorded any impairments as of June 30, 2019, or on a cumulative basis. Further, we have not identified any downward or upward adjustments due to observable price changes in the investment as of June 30, 2019, or on a cumulative basis. As of June 30, 2019, the $9.3 million carrying value of our investment is recorded in investment in equity securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

We evaluated our securities for other-than-temporary impairment and concluded that the decline in value was primarily caused by current economic and market conditions. We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. Therefore, we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment loss during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Realized gains and losses on sales or maturities of available-for-sale debt securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were immaterial. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 6. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows: • Level 1— Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Our Level 1 assets consist of bank deposits, money market funds, and U.S. treasury securities. • Level 2— Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Our Level 2 assets consist of corporate debt securities including commercial paper, government sponsored securities and corporate bonds, as well as foreign municipal securities. • Level 3— Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. During the periods presented, no transfers were made into or out of the Level 1, 2 or 3 categories. We will continue to review the fair value inputs on quarterly basis. We utilize a third-party pricing service to assist in obtaining fair value pricing for our investments in marketable debt securities. Inputs are documented in accordance with the fair value disclosure hierarchy. Recurring Valuations The following tables present our assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2019 (Unaudited) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Current: Cash and cash equivalents $ 17,279 $ 17,279 $ — $ — Corporate debt securities 59,015 — 59,015 — Foreign government bonds 3,247 — 3,247 — Government sponsored securities 3,013 — 3,013 — Commercial paper 1,498 — 1,498 — Noncurrent: Corporate debt securities 1,483 — 1,483 — Total assets measured at fair value $ 85,535 $ 17,279 $ 68,256 $ — Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Current: Cash and cash equivalents $ 16,821 $ 16,821 $ — $ — Corporate debt securities 57,328 — 57,328 — Noncurrent: Corporate debt securities 2,991 — 2,991 — Government sponsored securities 2,710 — 2,710 — Total assets measured at fair value $ 79,850 $ 16,821 $ 63,029 $ — Non-recurring Valuations Non-financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value subsequent to initial recognition when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Collaboration and License Agreements | 7. Collaboration and License Agreements Collaborative Arrangement A collaborative arrangement is a contractual arrangement that involves a joint operating activity. These arrangements involve two or more parties who are (i) active participants in the activity, and (ii) exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activity. There were no new collaborative agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Exclusive Co-Development Agreement In August 2016, we entered into an exclusive Co-Development Agreement, or the Co-Development Agreement, with Altor BioScience, LLC, or Altor. Altor is a related party, as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of ImmunityBio, Inc. (formerly known as NantCell, Inc.), or ImmunityBio (Note 9). Under the Co-Development Agreement, the parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the development of therapeutic applications combining our proprietary natural killer cells with Altor's N‑801 and/or N‑803 products with respect to certain technologies and intellectual property rights as may be agreed between the parties for the purpose of jointly developing therapeutic applications of certain effector cell lines. We are the lead developer for each product developed by the parties pursuant to the Co-Development Agreement unless otherwise agreed to under a given project plan. Under the terms of the Co-Development Agreement, both parties granted a co-exclusive, royalty free, fully paid-up, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense (only to a third-party contractor assisting with research and development activities under this Co-Development Agreement and subject to prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld), under the intellectual property, or IP, including the parties interest in the joint IP, solely to conduct any development activities agreed to by the steering committee as set forth in any development plan. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in the development plan for a project, we are responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by either party related to conducting clinical trials and other activities under each development program, including costs associated with patient enrollment, materials and supplies, third-party staffing and regulatory filings. Altor supplies free of charge, sufficient amounts of Altor products for all pre-clinical requirements and all clinical requirements for up to 400 patients in phase I and/or phase II clinical trials, as required under the development plan for a project per the Co-Development Agreement. Each company owns an undivided interest in and to all rights, title and interest in and to the joint product rights. The Co-Development Agreement expires upon the fifth anniversary of the effective date. We have dosed patients with N‑803, an IL‑15 superagonist, in several phase Ib/II trials. No charges for supplies by Altor have been incurred in association with the above trials during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies Contingencies We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause a change in the potential amount of the liability recorded or of the range of potential losses disclosed. Additionally, we record our rights to insurance recoveries, limited to the extent of incurred or probable losses, as a receivable when such recoveries have been agreed to with our third-party insurers and when receipt is deemed probable. This includes instances where our third-party insurers have agreed to pay, on our behalf, certain legal defense costs and settlement amounts directly to applicable law firms and a settlement fund. Securities Litigation In March 2016, a putative securities class action complaint captioned Sudunagunta v. NantKwest, Inc., et al. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid $12.0 million to the plaintiffs as full and complete settlement of the litigation. We were responsible for $1.2 million of the settlement amount, which was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense during the third quarter of 2018, while the remaining $10.8 million was fully funded by our insurance carriers under our directors’ and officers’ insurance policy. We and the insurance carriers paid the settlement amount into a settlement fund in January 2019. Subsequent to receiving final approval of the settlement on May 13, 2019, the aforementioned settlement accrual, associated insurance claim receivable and restricted cash were released and are no longer reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019. Stipulation of Settlement In early April 2019, following board approval, which occurred in late March 2019, we entered into a settlement agreement, or the Stipulation of Settlement, with three stockholders of the company, each of whom had submitted a stockholder demand for the board to take action to remedy purported harm to the company resulting from certain alleged wrongful conduct concerning, among other things, disclosures about Dr. Soon-Shiong’s compensation and a related-party lease agreement. The Stipulation of Settlement calls for us to adopt certain governance changes, and for the three stockholders to file a stockholder derivative action in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, followed by an application for court approval of the Stipulation of Settlement. On May 31, 2019, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the Stipulation of Settlement and scheduling the final settlement hearing for August 9, 2019. Pursuant to the Stipulation of Settlement, we have provided stockholders with notice of the settlement and the final settlement hearing. Under the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, which remains subject to final approval by the court, we have agreed to pay an attorney’s fee of $0.5 million to the plaintiffs as part of the settlement. Of that amount, we are responsible for half, which was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2019, while the other half will be fully funded by our insurance carrier. We and the insurance carrier paid the settlement amount into a settlement fund in June 2019, and as of June 30, 2019, our share of the settlement is included in restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Insurance Recoveries We have reflected our right to insurance recoveries, limited to the extent of incurred or probable losses, as a receivable when such recoveries have been agreed to with our third-party insurers and receipt is deemed probable. This includes instances where our third-party insurers have agreed to pay, on our behalf, certain legal defense costs and settlement amounts directly to applicable law firms and a settlement fund. The amount of such receivable recorded at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $0.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Stockholders' Equity | 10. Stockholders’ Equity Stock Repurchase – In November 2015, the board of directors approved a share repurchase program, or the 2015 Share Repurchase Program, allowing the CEO or CFO, on behalf of the company, to repurchase from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, exclusive of any commissions, markups or expenses. The timing and amounts of any purchases were and will continue to be based on market conditions and other factors, including price, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations. The 2015 Share Repurchase Program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. We have financed, and expect to continue to finance, the purchases with existing cash balances. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 473,586 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.95 per share and $1.09 per share for a total cost of $0.5 million. In addition, we paid approximately $14,200 of broker commissions on these repurchases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. To date, we have repurchased a total of 6,403,489 shares of our common stock under this program for a total cost of $31.7 million. In addition, we have paid approximately $0.1 million of broker commissions on these repurchases. The repurchased shares are formally retired through board approval upon repurchase. We account for the repurchases under the constructive retirement method and allocated the excess of the repurchase price over par value to accumulated deficit. At June 30, 2019, $18.3 million remained authorized for repurchase under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program. In July 2015, the company’s board of directors adopted and the company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 12. Income Taxes The difference between the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and our 0% tax rate is due to losses in jurisdictions from which we cannot benefit. Intraperiod tax allocation rules require us to allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income. In periods in which we have a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income, we must allocate the tax provision to the other categories of earnings. We then record a related tax benefit in continuing operations. We recorded unrealized gains on marketable debt securities in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. We did not record any unrealized gains in other comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded a tax expense of $2,000 and $0, respectively, and a tax benefit of $34,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recorded an increase to other comprehensive income of $0.1 million and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No increase to other comprehensive income was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The company is operating in Korea. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the tax benefit related to Korea was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no tax benefits related to Korea. We currently file federal and state income tax returns in the U.S. and in Korea. Income tax expense consists of U.S. federal, state, and Korean income taxes. To date, we have not been required to pay U.S. federal income taxes because of current and accumulated net operating losses. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | 13. Subsequent Events In July 2019, we entered into a new agreement with the Clinic, as defined and described in Note 9, that covers existing and prospective clinical trial and research related services, subject to the parties’ agreement on the financial terms of such services, among other things. The initial term of the agreement is for one year but allows for an automatic renewal and additional extensions beyond the initial term. The agreement supersedes the existing agreements with the Clinic and the cost under this agreement is estimated at $7.5 million, which will be paid in three (3) installment payments and represent prepayments towards services to be provided by the Clinic and as the Clinic provides the services, the prepayments will be consumed. The Clinic is a related party as it is owned by two officers of NantKwest and NantWorks manages the administrative operations of the Clinic. In addition, we executed a clinical trial work order under the new agreement with the Clinic in July 2019 for an open-label, phase I study of PD‑L1.t‑haNK for infusion in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid cancers. The costs under this study is estimated at $1.2 million and is covered under the aforementioned new agreement. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Liquidity | Liquidity As of June 30, 2019, the company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $631.0 million. We also had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $29.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The company expects that it will likely need additional capital to further fund development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and to begin to commercialize any approved products. We are currently focused primarily on the development of immunotherapeutic treatments for cancers and debilitating viral infections using targeted cancer and viral killing cell lines, and we believe such activities will result in the company’s continued incurrence of significant research and development and other expenses related to those programs. If the clinical trials for any of our product candidates fail or produce unsuccessful results and those product candidates do not gain regulatory approval, or if any of our product candidates, if approved, fail to achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable. Even if the company achieves profitability in the future, it may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. The company intends to cover its future operating expenses through cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities on hand and through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements. Additional financing may not be available to us when needed and, if available, financing may not be obtained on terms favorable to the company or its stockholders. While we expect our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities will enable us to fund operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months, we may not have sufficient funds to reach commercialization. Failure to obtain adequate financing when needed may require us to delay, reduce, limit, or terminate some or all of our development programs or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we might otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, which could adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders may result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable debt securities, and our ability to borrow from affiliated entities, will be sufficient to fund operations through at least the next 12 months following the issuance date of the financial statements based upon our Chairman and CEO’s intent and ability to support the company’s operations with additional funds, including loans from affiliated entities, as required. We may also seek to sell additional equity, through one or more follow-on public offerings, or in separate financings, or obtain a credit facility. However, we may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms. Without additional funds, we may choose to delay or reduce our operating or investment expenditures. Further, because of the risk and uncertainties associated with the commercialization of the company’s drug product candidates in development, we may need additional funds to meet our needs sooner than planned. To date, the company’s primary sources of capital were its initial public offering and the concurrent private placement of common shares. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer exercised warrants and options resulting in aggregate cash proceeds of $39.2 million. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of results of income, comprehensive income, financial position, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. |
Principles of Consolidation and Equity Investments | Principles of Consolidation and Equity Investments The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NantKwest and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. We apply the variable interest model under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 810, Consolidation For entities we hold as an equity investment that are not consolidated under the VIE Model, we consider whether our investment constitutes ownership of a majority of the voting interests in the entity and therefore should be considered for consolidation under the voting interest model. Unconsolidated equity investments in the common stock or in-substance common stock of an entity under which we are able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Our ability to exercise significant influence is generally indicated by ownership of 20 to 50 percent interest in the voting securities of the entity. All other unconsolidated equity investments on which we are not able to exercise significant influence will be subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the instance the equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement Investments—Equity Securities We own non-marketable equity securities that are accounted for using the measurement alternative under ASC 321 because the preferred stock held by us is not considered in-substance common stock and such preferred stock does not have a readily determinable fair value. All investments are reviewed on a regular basis for possible impairment. If an investment's fair value is determined to be less than its net carrying value, the investment is written down to its fair value. Such an evaluation is judgmental and dependent on specific facts and circumstances. Factors considered in determining whether an impairment indicator is present include: the investees’ earnings performance and clinical trial performance, change in the investees’ industry and geographic area in which it operates, offers to purchase or sell the security for a price less than the cost of the investment, issues that raise concerns about the investee's ability to continue as a going concern, and any other information that we may be aware of related to the investment. Factors considered in determining whether an observable price change has occurred include: the price at which the investee issues equity instruments similar to those of our investment and the rights and preferences of those equity instruments compared to ours. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to valuation of equity-based awards, valuation of the allowance for deferred tax assets, preclinical and clinical trial accruals, impairment assessments, and the useful lives of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties |
Contingencies | Contingencies We record accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause a change in the potential amount of the liability recorded or of the range of potential losses disclosed. Additionally, we record our rights to insurance recoveries, limited to the extent of incurred or probable losses, as a receivable when such recoveries have been agreed to with our third-party insurers and when receipt is deemed probable. This includes instances when our third-party insurers have agreed to pay, on our behalf, certain legal defense costs and settlement amounts directly to applicable law firms and a settlement fund. |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties | Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities. Our cash and cash equivalents are held by one major financial institution in the U.S. and one in Korea. Drug product candidates developed by us will require approvals or clearances from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any of our drug product candidates will receive any of the required approvals or clearances. If we were to be denied approval or clearance or any such approval or clearance was to be delayed, it would have a material adverse impact on us. |
Impairment | Impairment The company follows Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, ASC 360 to evaluate its long-lived assets. The company’s long-lived assets, which include property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. We consider the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in our overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. We evaluate assets for impairment at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of impairment indicators. Impairment charges, if any, are included in operating expenses. During the second quarter of 2019, we determined that certain bioreactor laboratory equipment could not be utilized in the production process. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $0.9 million, which is included in research and development expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
Lease Obligations | Lease Obligations We adopted FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases Leases For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. At lease commencement, leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term; (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised; (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any guaranteed residual value that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or (5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria. We do not currently have any leases classified as finance leases. Our operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, net, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At the commencement date, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are determined based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any rent paid prior to the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected to combine our lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) with non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs and equipment maintenance costs) and as such, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. Lease expense also includes amounts relating to variable lease payments. Variable lease payments include amounts relating to common area maintenance and real estate taxes. We also elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for qualifying short-term leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception. Such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The depreciable life of operating right-of-use-assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. |
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock | Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For all periods presented, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of fully diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table details those securities that have been excluded from the computation of potentially dilutive securities: As of June 30, 2019 2018 Outstanding options 4,506,950 5,693,250 Outstanding RSUs 1,378,113 890,512 Outstanding warrants — 17,699,413 Total 5,885,063 24,283,175 Amounts in the table above reflect the common stock equivalents of the noted instruments. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards – Adopted We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, using the simplified transition approach which allows us to not recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new lease standard, while including required disclosures under ASC 840 for all periods presented under ASC 840. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to not reassess (1) whether a contract is or contains a lease, and (2) the classification of existing leases. The adoption of ASC 842 had a substantial impact on our balance sheet. The most significant impacts were (i) the recognition of $13.5 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and $16.4 million of operating lease liabilities, and (ii) the derecognition of assets and liabilities associated with the build-to-suit leases under ASC 840 (resulting in the derecognition of property, plant and equipment, net, of $6.6 million and net adjustments to related liabilities of $5.7 million). The build-to-suit leases were recorded as normal operating leases under ASC 842. The difference between the excess of build-to-suit related liabilities and assets of $0.9 million was recorded as an increase to our accumulated deficit. The cumulative-effect adjustment had no tax impact due to the valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax asset less reversing deferred tax liabilities. Adoption of this standard had no material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2018‑02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards – Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the ASC), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission during the three months ended June 30, 2019 did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
Investment in Viracta Preferred Stock | Based on the level of equity investment at risk, Viracta is not a VIE and therefore is not consolidated under the VIE Model. In addition, we do not hold a controlling financial interest in Viracta and therefore we do not consolidate Viracta under the voting interest model. As the preferred stock is not considered in-substance common stock, the investment is not within the scope of accounting for the investment under the equity method. As the preferred stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with ASC 820, we have elected to apply the measurement alternative under ASC 321, pursuant to which we measure our investment in Viracta at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in an orderly market for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows: • Level 1— Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Our Level 1 assets consist of bank deposits, money market funds, and U.S. treasury securities. • Level 2— Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Our Level 2 assets consist of corporate debt securities including commercial paper, government sponsored securities and corporate bonds, as well as foreign municipal securities. • Level 3— Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. During the periods presented, no transfers were made into or out of the Level 1, 2 or 3 categories. We will continue to review the fair value inputs on quarterly basis. We utilize a third-party pricing service to assist in obtaining fair value pricing for our investments in marketable debt securities. Inputs are documented in accordance with the fair value disclosure hierarchy. |
