Nature of Business

	Sep. 30, 2022
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business Ocugen, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Ocugen" or the "Company"), is a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel gene and cell therapies and vaccines that improve health and offer hope for patients across the globe. The Company is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and manages its business as one operating segment. Vaccines Intramuscular COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate In February 2021, the Company entered into a Co-Development, Supply and Commercialization Agreement with Bharat Biotech International Limited ("Bharat Biotech"), pursuant to which the Company obtained an exclusive right and license under certain of Bharat Biotech's intellectual property rights, with the right to grant sublicenses to develop, manufacture, and commercialize BBV152, known as COVAXIN, for the prevention of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in the United States, its territories, and possessions. In June 2021 and April 2022, the Company entered into amendments to the Co-Development, Supply and Commercialization Agreement (as so amended, the "Covaxin Agreement"), pursuant to which the parties agreed to expand the Company's rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize COVAXIN to include Canada and Mexico, respectively, in addition to the United States, its territories, and possessions (the "Ocugen Covaxin Territory"). COVAXIN is a whole-virion inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate and is formulated with the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus, an antigen, and an adjuvant. The Company has completed enrollment in a Phase 2/3 immuno-bridging and broadening clinical trial evaluating COVAXIN for adults ages 18 years and older, pursuant to an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The clinical trial was designed to evaluate whether the immune response observed in participants in a completed Phase 3 clinical trial in India is similar to a demographically representative, adult population in the United States. The Company intends to work with government agencies in the United States to obtain funding in order to comply with the requirements of a Biologics License Application ("BLA") submission. Mucosal COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate In September 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement ("WU License Agreement") with The Washington University ("Washington University"), pursuant to which the Company obtained the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize a mucosal COVID-19 vaccine, OCU500, in the United States, Europe, and Japan (collectively, the "Mucosal COVID-19 Vaccine Territory"). OCU500 is a recombinant, replication-deficient, adenovirus-vectored vaccine with a prefusion stabilized spike protein. As this vaccine can potentially be delivered through the mucosal route (intranasal or inhalation), the Company believes that OCU500 has the potential to generate rapid local immunity in the nose, mouth, upper airways, and lungs where SARS-CoV-2 enters and infects the body, which the Company believes may help reduce or prevent infection and transmission as well as provide protection against new COVID-19 variants. The Company intends to work closely with government agencies in the Mucosal COVID-19 Vaccine Territory to obtain funding to initiate clinical trials and manufacture OCU500. Modifier Gene Therapy Platform The Company is developing a modifier gene therapy platform designed to fulfill unmet medical needs in retinal diseases, including inherited retinal diseases ("IRDs"), such as retinitis pigmentosa ("RP"), Leber congenital amaurosis ("LCA"), dry age-related macular degeneration ("AMD"), and Stargardt disease. The Company's modifier gene therapy platform is based on nuclear hormone receptors ("NHRs"), which have the potential to restore homeostasis, the basic biological processes in the retina. The Company believes that its modifier gene therapy platform, through its use of NHRs, represents a novel approach that has the potential to address multiple retinal diseases caused by mutations in multiple genes with one product, and potentially address complex diseases that are potentially caused by imbalances in multiple gene networks. The Company believes that OCU400, its first product candidate being developed with its modifier gene therapy platform, has the potential to be broadly effective in restoring retinal integrity and function across a range of genetically diverse IRDs, including RP and LCA. OCU400 has received Orphan Drug Designations ("ODDs") from the FDA for the treatment of certain disease genotypes: nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 3 (" NR2E3 "), centrosomal protein 290 (" CEP290 "), rhodopsin (" RHO "), and phosphodiesterase 6B (" PDE6ß ") mutation-associated inherited retinal degenerations. Additionally, OCU400 has received Orphan Medicinal Product Designation ("OMPD") from the European Commission ("EC") based on the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") for RP and LCA. The Company has initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, a multicenter, open-label, dose ranging study to assess the safety of unilateral subretinal administration of OCU400 in subjects with NR2E3 and RHO -related RP in the United States, pursuant to an IND application cleared by the FDA. The first patient was dosed in March 2022 and the Company has completed dosing patients in two out of three cohorts. The Company initiated dosing in the third cohort in October 2022. The Company expects to complete enrollment in the third cohort by the end of 2022. Patients with LCA associated with CEP290 mutations will be included in the current Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The Company is also developing OCU410 and OCU410ST to utilize the nuclear receptor genes RAR-related orphan receptor A (" RORA " ) for the treatment of dry AMD and Stargardt disease, respectively. The Company is currently executing IND-enabling studies for OCU410 consistent with FDA discussions. The Company intends to submit IND applications in the second quarter of 2023 to initiate Phase 1/2 clinical trials. The Company has engaged CanSino Biologics, Inc. ("CanSinoBIO") as its manufacturing partner for its modifier gene therapy platform. CanSinoBIO has produced the clinical trial supplies for use in the Phase 1/2 clinical trials. Novel Biologic Therapy for Retinal Diseases The Company's biologic product candidate, OCU200, is a novel fusion protein designed to treat severely sight-threatening diseases, such as diabetic macular edema ("DME"), diabetic retinopathy ("DR"), and wet AMD. The Company has completed the technology transfer of manufacturing processes to its contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") and has produced clinical trial supplies to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial. The Company is currently executing IND-enabling studies consistent with FDA discussions. The Company intends to submit an IND application in the first quarter of 2023 to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial targeting DME. Regenerative Medicine – Cell Therapy Platform NeoCart is a three-dimensional tissue-engineered disc of new cartilage that is manufactured by growing chondrocytes, the cells responsible for maintaining cartilage health. The chondrocytes are derived from the patient on a unique scaffold. The Company believes NeoCart has the potential to accelerate healing and reduce pain by reconstructing a patient's previously damaged knee cartilage. It treats pain at the source, creating a similar, functional joint surface as it was before the injury. Ultimately, the therapy's goal is to prevent a patient's progression toward osteoarthritis, reduce pain, and improve function of the joint. In May 2022, the FDA granted a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy ("RMAT") designation to NeoCart for the repair of knee cartilage injuries in adults. The Company is currently working with the FDA to finalize the Phase 3 clinical trial protocol necessary to advance the clinical development of NeoCart for eventual market authorization. Going Concern Consideration The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $101.6 million, which the Company believes will enable it to fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2023. The cash runway is based on management's updated projections, including the removal of external expenditures for COVAXIN beyond the ongoing Phase 2/3 immuno-bridging and broadening clinical trial. The Company anticipates that the continued development of its COVID-19 vaccine candidates will require government funding to support the regulatory pathway of such candidates. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding in sufficient amounts, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. As the result of the updated projections, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents will enable the funding of its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures of the Company normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC's rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 (the "2021 Annual Report"). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocugen and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include those used in the accounting for research and development contracts, including clinical trial accruals, and the accounting and fair value measurement of equity instruments. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. The Company earns interest on its cash equivalents balance which is recorded as interest income in other income (expense), net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.6 million as interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company's restricted cash balance consisted of cash held to collateralize a corporate credit card account. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amount shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): As of September 30, 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 101,602 $ 107,349 Restricted cash — 151 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 101,602 $ 107,500 Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company, if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company's lease agreements include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected not to account for separately for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components is recognized when the obligation is probable. Operating leases are included in other assets and operating lease obligations in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognized as research and development expense or general and administrative expense based on the underlying nature of the expense. The Company currently leases real estate classified as operating leases. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases , requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit interest rates were not readily determinable in the Company's current operating leases. As such, the incremental borrowing rates were used based on the information available at the commencement dates in determining the present value of the lease payments. The lease term for the Company's leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts probable to be payable under the exercise of an option to purchase the underlying asset if reasonably certain. Variable payments not dependent on an index or rate associated with the Company's leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance is probable. Variable payments include the Company's proportionate share of certain utilities and other operating expenses and are presented as operating expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same line item as expense arising from fixed payments. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of September 30, 2022, the Company believes the fair value using Level 2 inputs of the borrowings under the EB-5 Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 7) approximate their carrying value. See Note 7 for additional information. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). The Company has issued stock-based compensation awards including stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and also accounts for certain issuances of preferred stock and warrants in accordance with ASC 718. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and RSUs, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on their grant date fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. For RSUs, the fair value of the RSU is determined by the market price of a share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Expense related to stock-based compensation awards granted with service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis based on the grant date fair value over the associated service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. Stock-based compensation awards generally vest over a one recognized when the performance-based vesting condition is deemed probable to occur. Shares issued upon stock option exercise and RSU vesting are newly-issued common shares. Estimating the fair value of stock options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock option, stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The assumptions used in the Company's Black-Scholes option-pricing model represent management's best estimates and involve a number of variables, uncertainties, assumptions, and the application of management's judgment, as they are inherently subjective. If any assumptions change, the Company's stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance . This standard increases the transparency of transactions with the government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model, and aims to reduce diversity that currently exists in the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government assistance received by business entities due to the lack of specific authoritative guidance in GAAP. This standard requires an entity to provide information regarding the nature of the transaction with a government and the related accounting policy used to account for this transaction, the line items on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss that are affected by the transaction and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item, and the significant terms and conditions of the transaction, including commitments and contingencies. The standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . This standard clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer's accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options, including warrants, that remain equity-classified after the modification or exchange. The standard requires an entity to treat a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity-classified after the modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard additionally provides guidance on measuring and recognizing the effect of a modification or an exchange. The standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . This standard will have an effective and transition date of January 1, 2024. Early adoption is currently permitted. This standard simplifies an issuer's accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features as well as simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. This standard also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement (if the effect is more dilutive) for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. The standard requires new disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of a public business entity's convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU No. 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2023. ASU No. 2016-13, as amended, requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, these standards now require allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. These standards limit the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

("EB-5 Life Sciences") in $0.5 million increments. Borrowings may be limited by the amount of funds raised by EB-5 Life Sciences and are subject to certain job creation requirements by the Company. Borrowings are at a fixed interest rate of 4.0% per annum and are to be utilized in the clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the Company's product candidates and for the general working capital needs of the Company. Outstanding borrowings pursuant to the EB-5 Loan Agreement, including accrued interest, become due upon the seventh anniversary of the final disbursement. Amounts repaid cannot be re-borrowed. The EB-5 Loan Agreement borrowings are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, except for any patents, patent applications, pending patents, patent licenses, patent sublicenses, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. Under the terms and conditions of the EB-5 Loan Agreement, the Company borrowed $1.5 million prior to 2022 and an additional $0.5 million in September 2022. Issuance costs were recognized as a reduction to the loan balance and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan.

Equity	Equity COVAXIN Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with Bharat Biotech, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 0.1 million shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock"), at a price per share equal to $109.60, to Bharat Biotech. On March 18, 2021, the Company issued the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as an advance payment of $6.0 million for the supply of COVAXIN to be provided by Bharat Biotech pursuant to the Supply Agreement. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of Bharat Biotech, into 10 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Conversion Ratio") only after (i) the Company received stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock under its Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which the Company received in April 2021, and (ii) the Company's receipt of shipments by Bharat Biotech of the first 10.0 million doses of COVAXIN manufactured by Bharat Biotech pursuant to the Supply Agreement, and further on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2022, the conversion condition relating to the delivery of the first 10.0 million doses of COVAXIN had not been met. The conversion rate of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, or similar event with respect to the Company's common stock. The Company accounted for the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with ASC 718 and recorded its grant date fair value of $5.0 million within equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, with a corresponding short-term asset for the advanced payment for the supply of COVAXIN included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The Company utilized the traded common stock price, adjusted by the Conversion Ratio, to value the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Finnerty model to estimate a 15% discount rate for the lack of marketability of the instrument. The valuation incorporated Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, including the estimated time until the instrument's liquidity and the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock as of the grant date. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the remaining balance of the short-term asset for the advanced payment for the supply of COVAXIN was $4.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The reduction in the advanced payment resulted from the Company's receipt of COVAXIN drug product components from Bharat Biotech, which the Company utilized to produce the demonstration batch at Jubilant HollisterStier during the three months ended September 30, 2022. In February 2022, the Company entered into a supply commitment to purchase $14.3 million of COVAXIN drug product components from Bharat Biotech to utilize in the Process Performance Qualification ("PPQ") runs. The doses produced in the PPQ runs, if successfully completed, are expected to be commercially salable following regulatory approval. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company withdrew this supply commitment as a result of the deficiencies identified in an inspection conducted by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). Offerings of Common Stock Public Offering In February 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., pursuant to which the Company sold 16.0 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $3.13 per share (the "Public Offering"). Upon the closing of the Public Offering, the Company received net proceeds of $49.8 million, after deducting equity issuance costs payable by the Company. Registered Direct Offerings In April 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company sold 10.0 million shares of its common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share in a registered direct offering (the "April 2021 Registered Direct Offering"). Upon the closing of the April 2021 Registered Direct Offering, the Company received net proceeds of $93.4 million after deducting equity issuance costs of $6.6 million. In February 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company sold 3.0 million shares of its common stock at an offering price of $7.65 per share in a registered direct offering (the "February 2021 Registered Direct Offering"). Upon the closing of the February 2021 Registered Direct Offering, the Company received net proceeds of $21.2 million after deducting equity issuance costs of $1.7 million. At-the-Market Offering During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock in an at-the-market offering and received net proceeds of $4.8 million after deducting equity issuance costs of $0.1 million.

Stock Option Plan (the "2014 Plan") and the Ocugen, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan", collectively with the 2014 Plan, the "Plans"). As of September 30, 2022, the 2014 Plan and the 2019 Plan authorize for the granting of up to 0.8 million and 19.5 million equity awards with respect to the Company's common stock, respectively. In addition to stock options and RSUs granted under the Plans, the Company has granted certain stock options and RSUs as material inducements to employment in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), which were granted outside of the Plans.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company has commitments under certain license and development agreements, lease agreements, debt agreements, and consulting agreements. Commitments under certain license and development agreements include annual payments, payments upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalty payments based on net sales of licensed products (commitments under the Company's licensing agreements are more fully described within Note 3 and within the Company's 2021 Annual Report). Commitments under lease agreements are future minimum lease payments (see Note 5). Commitments under debt agreements are the future payment of principal and accrued interest under the EB-5 Loan Agreement (see Note 7). Commitments under consulting agreements include payments upon the achievement of certain milestones related to COVAXIN (see Note 9). The Company previously entered into a supply commitment in February 2022 for the purchase of COVAXIN drug product components from Bharat Biotech which was withdrawn by the Company subsequent to September 30, 2022 (see Note 8). Contingencies In June 2021, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its agents in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("Court") (Case No. 2:21-cv-02725) that purported to state a claim for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on statements made by the Company concerning the announcement of the Company's decision to pursue the submission of a BLA in the United States for COVAXIN for adults ages 18 years and older rather than pursuing emergency use authorization ("EUA") for the vaccine candidate. In July 2021, a second securities class action was filed against the Company and certain of its agents in the Court (Case No. 2:21-cv-03182) that also purported to state a claim for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on the same statements as the first complaint. The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, attorneys' fees, and other costs. In March 2022, the Court consolidated these two related securities class action lawsuits and appointed Andre Galan Bernd Benayon to serve as lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff's amended complaint was filed in June 2022. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in August 2022. The lead plaintiff's opposition to the motion to dismiss was filed in October 2022. The Company will file its reply in support of its motion to dismiss by November 10, 2022. In August 2021, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed derivatively on behalf of the Company against certain of its agents and the nominal defendant Ocugen in the Court (Case No. 2:21-cv-03876) that purported to state a claim for breach of fiduciary duty and contribution for violations of Sections 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act, based on facts and circumstances relating to the securities class action lawsuits and seeking contribution and indemnification in connection with claims asserted in the securities class action lawsuits. In September 2021, a second stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed derivatively on behalf of the Company against certain of its agents and the nominal defendant Ocugen in the Court (Case No. 2:21-cv-04169) that purported to state a claim for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, and contribution for violations of Sections 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act, based on the same allegations as the first complaint. The parties to both stockholder derivative lawsuits have stipulated to the consolidation of the two stockholder derivative lawsuits and also have submitted to the Court in each action a proposed order requesting a stay of the litigation pending a decision on any motion to dismiss filed in the securities class action lawsuits, which the Court entered in April 2022. The Company believes that the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. At this time, no assessment can be made as to their likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to the Company. No information is available to indicate that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and, as such, no accrual for the loss has been recorded within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent EventsSubsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company sold 2.1 million shares of its common stock under an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement ("Sales Agreement"), which the Company entered into in June 2022 with certain agents, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $160.0 million. The offer and sale of the shares of common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement were made under the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR, which was previously filed with the SEC and became automatically effective on March 22, 2021, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, dated June 10, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $3.6 million after deducting equity issuance costs of $0.3 million.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and ConsolidationThe accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures of the Company normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC's rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 (the "2021 Annual Report").
Principles of Consolidation	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocugen and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include those used in the accounting for research and development contracts, including clinical trial accruals, and the accounting and fair value measurement of equity instruments.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include bank demand deposits, marketable securities with maturities of three months or less at purchase, and money market funds that invest primarily in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. The Company earns interest on its cash equivalents balance which is recorded as interest income in other income (expense), net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.6 million as interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company's restricted cash balance consisted of cash held to collateralize a corporate credit card account.
Leases	Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company, if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company's lease agreements include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected not to account for separately for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components is recognized when the obligation is probable. Operating leases are included in other assets and operating lease obligations in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognized as research and development expense or general and administrative expense based on the underlying nature of the expense. The Company currently leases real estate classified as operating leases. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases , requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit interest rates were not readily determinable in the Company's current operating leases. As such, the incremental borrowing rates were used based on the information available at the commencement dates in determining the present value of the lease payments. The lease term for the Company's leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts probable to be payable under the exercise of an option to purchase the underlying asset if reasonably certain. Variable payments not dependent on an index or rate associated with the Company's leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance is probable. Variable payments include the Company's proportionate share of certain utilities and other operating expenses and are presented as operating expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same line item as expense arising from fixed payments.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of September 30, 2022, the Company believes the fair value using Level 2 inputs of the borrowings under the EB-5 Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 7) approximate their carrying value. See Note 7 for additional information.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). The Company has issued stock-based compensation awards including stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and also accounts for certain issuances of preferred stock and warrants in accordance with ASC 718. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options and RSUs, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on their grant date fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. For RSUs, the fair value of the RSU is determined by the market price of a share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Expense related to stock-based compensation awards granted with service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis based on the grant date fair value over the associated service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. Stock-based compensation awards generally vest over a one recognized when the performance-based vesting condition is deemed probable to occur. Shares issued upon stock option exercise and RSU vesting are newly-issued common shares. Estimating the fair value of stock options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock option, stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The assumptions used in the Company's Black-Scholes option-pricing model represent management's best estimates and involve a number of variables, uncertainties, assumptions, and the application of management's judgment, as they are inherently subjective. If any assumptions change, the Company's stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance . This standard increases the transparency of transactions with the government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model, and aims to reduce diversity that currently exists in the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government assistance received by business entities due to the lack of specific authoritative guidance in GAAP. This standard requires an entity to provide information regarding the nature of the transaction with a government and the related accounting policy used to account for this transaction, the line items on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss that are affected by the transaction and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item, and the significant terms and conditions of the transaction, including commitments and contingencies. The standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . This standard clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer's accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options, including warrants, that remain equity-classified after the modification or exchange. The standard requires an entity to treat a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity-classified after the modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard additionally provides guidance on measuring and recognizing the effect of a modification or an exchange. The standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) . This standard will have an effective and transition date of January 1, 2024. Early adoption is currently permitted. This standard simplifies an issuer's accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features as well as simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. This standard also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement (if the effect is more dilutive) for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. The standard requires new disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of a public business entity's convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU No. 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2023. ASU No. 2016-13, as amended, requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, these standards now require allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. These standards limit the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
