Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2019, and the results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2019.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the notes thereto are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and its related amendments (collectively known as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842) using the prospective method, effective on January 1, 2019. See Note 5 “Leases” for the required disclosures related to the impact of adopting this standard and a discussion of the Company’s updated policies related to leases. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss or condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. |

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | 4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers On December 19, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into the KHK License Agreement, under which the Company granted KHK an exclusive license to develop and commercialize entinostat in Japan and Korea. Under the terms of the KHK License Agreement, the Company will be responsible for the manufacture and supply of the products during the development activities. In addition to the license and manufacturing obligations, the Company is obligated to provide KHK access to know-how and regulatory information the Company may develop over the life of the entinostat patent. Lastly, to the extent additional intellectual property is developed during the term of the agreement, KHK will receive the right to the intellectual property when and if available. KHK will conduct the development, regulatory approval filings, and commercialization activities of entinostat in Japan and Korea. KHK paid the Company $25.0 million upfront, which included a $7.5 million equity investment and a $17.5 million non-refundable cash payment. In addition, to the extent certain development and commercial milestones are achieved, KHK will be required to pay the Company up to $75.0 million in milestone payments over the term of the license agreement. The term of the agreement commenced on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement, will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, until the later of: (i) the date all valid claims of the last effective patent among the Company’s patents expires or is abandoned, withheld, or is otherwise invalidated in such country; and (ii) 15 years from the date of the first commercial sale of a product in the Japan or Korea. The equity purchase and the up-front payment of the license fee were accounted for separately. The Company allocated the amount of consideration equal to the fair value of the shares on the Effective Date, which resulted in $7.7 million of proceeds allocated to the equity purchase and the remaining consideration of $17.3 million allocated to the up-front license fee. In October 2017, the Company announced that KHK enrolled the first Japanese patient into a local pivotal study of entinostat for the treatment of hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative breast cancer. In accordance with the terms of the license agreement, KHK paid the Company a $5.0 million milestone payment which the Company received in December 2017. In October 2016, the Company entered into a clinical trial co-funding agreement with KHK under which the Company expanded its clinical trial agreement with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (the “ECOG Agreement”) to include enrollments from sites in Korea. The Company determined that the performance obligations associated with the KHK License Agreement include (i) the combined license, rights to access and use materials and data, and rights to additional intellectual property, and (ii) the clinical supply obligation. All other goods or services promised to KHK are immaterial in the context of the agreement. Under ASC 606, the identification of the clinical supply obligation as a distinct performance obligation separate and apart from the license performance obligation resulted in a change in the performance period. The start of the performance period under ASC 606 was determined to be the contract inception date, December 19, 2014. The clinical supply was identified as a separate performance obligation under ASC 606 as (i) the Company is not providing a significant service of integration whereby the clinical supply and other promises are inputs into a combined output, (ii) the clinical supply does not significantly modify or customize the other promises nor is it significantly modified or customized by them, and (iii) the clinical supply is not highly interdependent or highly interrelated with the other promises in the agreement as KHK could choose not to purchase the clinical supply from the Company without significantly affecting the other promised goods or services. The Company further concluded that the clinical supply represented an immaterial performance obligation and therefore the entire $17.3 million allocated to the upfront payment was allocated to the combined license and will be recognized ratably over the performance period, representing contract inception though 2029. In 2017, KHK achieved a development milestone, and was required to pay the Company $5.0 million. The Company is recognizing the development milestone consideration over the performance period coinciding with the license to intellectual property. As the Company determined that its performance obligations associated with the KHK Agreement at contract inception were not distinct and represented a single performance obligation, and that the obligations for goods and services provided would be completed over the performance period of the agreement, any payments received by the Company from KHK, including the upfront payment and progress-dependent development and regulatory milestone payments, are recognized as revenue using a time-based proportional performance model over the contract term (December 2014 through 2029) of the collaboration, within license fees. Contract liabilities consisted of deferred revenue, as presented on the consolidated balance sheet, as of March 31, 2019. Deferred revenue related to the KHK License Agreement was $15.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and will be recognized over the remainder of the contract term. |

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Leases | 5. Leases Adoption of ASC Topic 842, “Leases” The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, using the prospective approach which provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption using the effective date of the standard as its initial application date. ASC 842 generally requires all leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. In addition, the Company elected the relief package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and initial direct costs for any existing leases. The reported results for 2019 reflect the application of ASC 842 guidance while the reported results for 2018 were prepared under the guidance of ASC 840, Leases. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of an additional lease asset and lease liability of approximately $1.3 million as of January 1, 2019. ASC 842 did not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the periods presented. Leases The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company identified two existing long-term building leases on the adoption date of ASC 842 that are classified as operating leases. In September 2016, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease for 12,207 square feet of office space in Waltham, Massachusetts, with a lease commencement date of March 1, 2017. In December 2015, the Company entered into a 62-month operating lease for 4,039 square feet of space in New York, New York, which commenced on January 1, 2016. The remaining lease terms as of March 31, 2019 for the facility in Waltham, Massachusetts and New York, New York, were 35 and 23 months, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, the condensed consolidated balance sheet includes a $1.2 million operating lease ROU asset and a $1.4 million ROU liability. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 14% to calculate its lease obligations, and an increase or decrease in the rate does not have a significant impact on the ROU asset or ROU liability. The ROU asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remainder of the lease term. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $113,000 in operating lease expense, and made approximately $140,000 in lease payments. As of March 31, 2019, the remaining lease payments under the current lease agreements: Less than 1 to 3 3 to 5 More than (in thousands) Total 1 Year Years Years 5 Years Operating leases for office space $ 1,465 $ 571 $ 894 $ - $ - |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders | 6. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of the Company: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 (In thousands, except share and per share data) Numerator—basic and diluted: Net loss $ (14,302 ) $ (19,398 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders—basic and diluted $ (14,302 ) $ (19,398 ) Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders—basic and diluted $ (0.53 ) $ (0.79 ) Denominator—basic and diluted: Weighted-average number of common shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders—basic and diluted 27,023,466 24,478,269 The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to losses reported (in common stock equivalent shares): March 31, 2019 2018 Options to purchase common stock 5,629,120 4,206,832 Warrants to purchase common stock 4,595,039 — Employee Stock Purchase Plan 27,471 15,804 In June 2018, the Company signed an exchange agreement with an investor under which the investor exchanged 2,000,000 shares of common stock for 2,000,000 warrant shares. The warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock for $0.0001 per share. The shares of common stock into which the warrants may be exercised are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing earnings per share. In March 2019, the Company sold 2,095,039 shares of common stock as well as 2,500,000 pre-funded warrant shares (see Note 13). The warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock for $0.0001 per share. The shares of common stock into which the warrants may be exercised are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing earnings per share. |

Significant Agreements | 7. Significant Agreements Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In October 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Allergan License Agreement”) with Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Allergan plc (“Allergan”), under which Allergan granted the Company an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license to a portfolio of preclinical, orally available, small molecule inhibitors of the interaction of Menin with the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (“MLL”) protein (the “Menin Assets”). The Company made a nonrefundable upfront payment of $5.0 million to Allergan in the fourth quarter of 2017. Additionally, subject to the achievement of certain milestone events, the Company may be required to pay Allergan up to $99.0 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the Allergan License Agreement. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes the Menin Assets, the Company will also be obligated to pay Allergan low single to low double-digit royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $70.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to share a percentage of non-royalty income from sublicensees, subject to certain deductions, with Allergan. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of the Menin Assets. Each party may terminate the Allergan License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency; and the Company may terminate the Allergan License Agreement at will at any time upon advance written notice to Allergan. Allergan may terminate the Allergan License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the Allergan License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country. As of the date of the Allergan License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. UCB Biopharma Sprl In 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “UCB License Agreement”) with UCB Biopharma Sprl (“UCB”), under which UCB granted to the Company a worldwide, sublicenseable, exclusive license to UCB6352, which the Company refers to as SNDX-6352, an investigational new drug (“IND”) ready anti-CSF-1R monoclonal antibody. The Company made a nonrefundable upfront payment of $5.0 million to UCB in 2016. Additionally, subject to the achievement of certain milestone events, the Company may be required to pay UCB up to $119.5 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the UCB License Agreement. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes SNDX-6352, the Company will also be obligated to pay UCB low double-digit royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $250.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to share a percentage of non-royalty income from sublicensees, subject to certain deductions, with UCB. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of SNDX-6352, except that UCB is performing a limited set of transitional chemistry, manufacturing and control tasks related to SNDX-6352. Each party may terminate the UCB License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency; and the Company may terminate the UCB License Agreement at will at any time upon advance written notice to UCB. UCB may terminate the UCB License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the UCB License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country. As of the date of the UCB License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, in 2016, the upfront payment of $5.0 million has been recorded as research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group In March 2014, the Company entered into the ECOG Agreement with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, a contracting entity for the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group—American College of Radiology Imaging Network Cancer Research Group (“ECOG-ACRIN”), that describes the parties’ obligations with respect to the NCI-sponsored pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of entinostat. Under the terms of the ECOG Agreement, ECOG-ACRIN will perform this clinical trial in accordance with the clinical trial protocol and a mutually agreed scope of work. The Company is providing a fixed level of financial support for the clinical trial through an upfront payment of $0.7 million and a series of payments of up to $1.0 million each that are comprised of milestone payments through the completion of enrollment and time-based payments through the completion of patient monitoring post-enrollment. In addition, the Company is obligated to supply entinostat and placebo to ECOG-ACRIN for use in the clinical trial. During the second quarter of 2016, the ECOG Agreement was amended to provide additional study activities and the contractual obligation increased by $0.8 million. During the first quarter of 2017, the ECOG Agreement was amended to expand the study to include enrollments from sites in Korea and to provide additional study activities and the contractual obligation increased by $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s aggregate payment obligations under this agreement were approximately $24.5 million; and its remaining payment obligations are approximately $8.8 million over an estimated period of approximately three years. Data and inventions from the Phase 3 clinical trial are owned by ECOG-ACRIN. The Company has access to the data generated in the clinical trial, both directly from ECOG-ACRIN under the ECOG Agreement as well as from the NCI. Additionally, ECOG-ACRIN has granted the Company a non-exclusive royalty-free license to any inventions or discoveries that are derived from entinostat as a result of its use during the clinical trial, along with a first right to negotiate an exclusive license to any of these inventions or discoveries. Either party may terminate the ECOG Agreement in the event of an uncured material breach by the other party or if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) withdraws the authorization to perform the clinical trial in the United States. The parties may jointly terminate the ECOG Agreement if the parties agree that safety-related issues support termination of the clinical trial. The Company records the appropriate clinical trial expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which the services and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the progress of the clinical trial as measured by patient enrollment and the timing of various aspects of the clinical trial. The Company determines accrual estimates through financial models, taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and ECOG-ACRIN as to the progress or state of consummation of the clinical trial or the services completed. Bayer Pharma AG (formerly known as Bayer Schering Pharma AG) In March 2007, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Bayer Agreement”) with Bayer Schering Pharma AG (“Bayer”) for a worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize entinostat and any other products containing the same active ingredient. Under the terms of the Bayer Agreement, the Company paid a nonrefundable upfront license fee of $2.0 million and is responsible for the development and marketing of entinostat. The Company recorded the $2.0 million license fee as research and development expense during the year ended December 31, 2007, as it had no alternative future use. The Company will pay Bayer royalties on a sliding scale based on net sales, if any, and make future milestone payments to Bayer of up to $150.0 million in the event that certain specified development and regulatory goals and sales levels are achieved. In June 2014, a development milestone was achieved, and the Company recorded $2.0 million of research and development expense, which has been fully paid. In connection with the Bayer Agreement, the Company issued to Bayer a warrant to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 1.75% of the shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of the earlier of the date the warrant was exercised or the closing of the IPO. The warrant contained anti-dilution protection to maintain Bayer’s potential ownership at 1.75% of the shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, requiring that the actual number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the warrant be increased or decreased for any changes in the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding. The warrant was exercisable at an exercise price of $1.54 per share and would have expired upon the earlier of the 10-year anniversary of the closing of the IPO or the date of the consummation of a disposition transaction. The warrant was classified as a long-term liability and recorded at fair value with the changes in the fair value recorded in other expense. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrant. Upon the closing of the IPO, the anti-dilution protection for the warrant expired, resulting in the reclassification of the warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. The warrant was re-measured using current assumptions just prior to the reclassification. On March 1, 2018, Bayer notified the Company of its election to exercise the warrant utilizing the net exercise feature contained therein, resulting in the Company’s issuance to Bayer of 299,215 shares of the Company’s common stock for no net cash proceeds. |

Fair Value Measurements | 8. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are performed in a manner to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: Level 1— Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the market date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2— Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. During the periods presented, the Company has not changed the manner in which it values assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy for any of periods presented. A summary of the assets and liabilities carried at fair value in accordance with the hierarchy defined above is as follows: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices Significant (unadjusted) Other Significant Total in Active Observable Unobservable Carrying Markets Inputs Inputs Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (In thousands) March 31, 2019 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 58,116 $ 52,604 $ 5,512 $ — Short-term investments 34,626 — 34,626 — Total assets $ 92,742 $ 52,604 $ 40,138 $ — December 31, 2018 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 33,769 $ 29,270 $ 4,499 $ — Short-term investments 47,142 — 47,142 — Total assets $ 80,911 $ 29,270 $ 51,641 $ — Cash of $52.6 million and $29.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, consisted of overnight investments and money market funds and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Cash equivalents of $5.5 million and $4.5 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, consisted of highly rated corporate bonds and commercial paper and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Short-term investments of $34.6 million and $47.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, consisted of commercial paper, highly rated corporate bonds and asset backed securities and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2019, the remaining contractual maturities of the available-for-sale securities were less than one year, and the balance in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income was comprised solely of activity related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities. There were no realized gains or losses recognized on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As a result, the Company did not reclassify any amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the same periods. The Company has a limited number of available-for-sale securities in insignificant loss positions as of March 31, 2019, which the Company does not intend to sell and has concluded it will not be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost for the investment at maturity.

Stock-Based Compensation | 11. Stock-Based Compensation In January 2019, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), was increased by 993,438 shares due to the automatic annual provision to increase shares available under the 2015 Plan. As of March 31, 2019, the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 1,040,302. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock option awards to employees and non-employees and related to the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 (In thousands) Research and development $ 534 $ 451 General and administrative 1,058 970 Total $ 1,592 $ 1,421 Compensation expense by type of award in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 (In thousands) Stock options $ 1,559 $ 1,393 Employee Stock Purchase Plan 33 28 Total $ 1,592 $ 1,421 During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 828,825 stock options to certain executives and employees having service-based vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of the options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $3.6 million, or $4.31 per share on a weighted-average basis and will be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period of three to four years. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 583,000 stock options to certain employees to purchase shares of common stock that contain certain performance-based vesting criteria, primarily related to the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory development milestones related to product candidates. Recognition of stock-based compensation expense associated with these performance-based stock options commences when the performance condition is considered probable of achievement, using management’s best estimates, which consider the inherent risk and uncertainty regarding the future outcomes of the milestones. The achievement of one of the performance milestones was considered to be probable and the Company recorded approximately $30,000 of stock compensation expense associated with these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For the remaining awards containing performance-based vesting criteria, the achievement of the milestones were considered not probable, nor met, and therefore no expense has been recognized related to these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2019. No options were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of March 31, 2019, there was $10.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to employee and non-employee unvested stock options granted under the 2015 and 2007 Plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining service period of 2.4 years. Stock compensation costs have not been capitalized by the Company. |

Cowen is not required to sell any specific amount, but acts as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. The Company pays Cowen up to 3% of the gross proceeds from any common stock sold through this sales agreement. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company sold 140,819 shares of common stock under the ATM program for net proceeds of $0.8 million. In the second quarter of 2019, through May 7, 2019, the Company sold no additional shares of common stock under the ATM program. In March 2019, the Company issued 2,095,039 shares of its common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to certain investors in a registered direct offering. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and have a term of 20 years. The Company sold the shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants together with two series of warrants, Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants, to purchase an aggregate of 4,595,039 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series Warrants”). The offering price for the securities was $6.00 per share (or $5.9999 for each Pre-Funded Warrant). The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from this offering were $27.6 million, excluding any proceeds the Company may receive upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Series Warrants and offering costs of $0.2 million. No underwriter or placement agent participated in the offering. The Series Warrants are immediately exercisable. Each Series 1 Warrant has an initial exercise price of $12.00 per share of common stock and each Series 2 Warrant has an initial exercise price of $18.00 per share of common stock, in each case subject to certain adjustments. The Series Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) 90 days following the Company’s confirmation to holders of the Company’s release of positive data confirming the achievement of the specified primary endpoint of overall survival benefit in the E2112 clinical trial in breast cancer patients, or (ii) December 31, 2020. If, prior to the expiration date of the Series Warrant, the Company sells additional capital stock or derivative securities convertible into or exercisable for capital stock, as defined, in one or more related transactions primarily for the purpose of raising capital at a Weighted-Average Price (as described below) below $12.00 per share, then the initial exercise price of the Series Warrants will be automatically reset upon exercise to an exercise price (the “Adjusted Exercise Price”) that is the midpoint between the initial exercise price and the lowest Weighted-Average Price per share at which the Company sells capital stock or derivative securities convertible into or exercisable for capital stock in a subsequent offering prior to the exercise date; provided, however, that the Adjusted Exercise Price will not be reduced below $6.00 per share. The Weighted-Average Price shall be calculated as the weighted-average common stock equivalent price of the equity securities sold in such transaction(s) (excluding any derivative securities with an exercise or conversion price that is above the closing sale price as of the time of pricing such offering(s)). In no event will the exercise price for the Series Warrants be adjusted more than once pursuant to this adjustment mechanism. The Series Warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity and were recorded at the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method. The Series Warrants are equity classified because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instruments, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permits the holders to receive a fixed number of common shares upon exercise. In addition, such warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return . |
