Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations [Text Block] | NOTE 1 BACKGROUND GenSpera, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our company”, “our”, “GenSpera” or the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in November 2003, and has its principal office in San Antonio, Texas. We are an early-stage, pre-revenue, pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of prodrug cancer therapeutics for the treatment of solid tumors, including liver, brain, prostate and other cancers. We plan to develop a series of therapies based on our target-activated prodrug technology platform. Our primary focus at the present time is the clinical development of our lead compound, mipsagargin (formerly referred to as G-202), a novel therapeutic agent with a unique mechanism of action. We have completed a Phase Ia/Ib dose escalation, safety, tolerability and dose refinement study of mipsagargin, in which we treated a total of 44 patients (includes Phase Ia and Ib), including two patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver cancer, who experienced prolonged stabilization of disease up to eleven months after initiation of treatment. We have completed a Phase II clinical trial of mipsagargin in patients with liver cancer, in which twenty-five patients were treated. In May 2015, we received a final clinical study report. We consider the study outcome achieved positive results, with 63% of treated patients having stable disease at two (2) months, and with a median time to progression of 4.5 months. These results support our plans to continue the development of mipsagargin for patients with liver cancer, as well as proceed with our clinical development strategy in other indications including glioblastoma and prostate cancer trials. Although the data from our completed trials appear promising, the outcome of our ongoing or future trials may ultimately be unsuccessful. We are currently conducting a Phase II clinical trial in glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer), in which fifteen patients have been treated as of August 3, 2015. We have deferred the development of mipsagargin in Phase 2 prostate clinical trials until the second quarter of 2016 |

Management Plans to Continue as Going Concern [Abstract] | |
Management Plans to Continue as Going Concern Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 2 MANAGEMENT’S PLANS TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN Basis of Presentation We have prepared our financial statements on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. We have incurred losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit of $ 42.8 To date, we have generated no sales or revenues, have incurred significant losses and expect to incur significant additional losses as we advance mipsagargin through clinical studies. Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a pre-revenue business enterprise as well as those risks associated with a company engaged in the research and development of pharmaceutical compounds. Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2015 was $ 121 39 2.2 In the event financing is not obtained, we may pursue cost cutting measures as well as explore the sale of selected assets to generate additional funds. If we are required to significantly reduce operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate any of our development programs or clinical trials, these events could have a material adverse effect on: our business, results of operations, and financial condition. These factors raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ report issued in connection with our a December 31, 2014 financial statements expressed an opinion that our capital resources as of the date of their Audit Report were not sufficient to sustain operations or complete our planned activities for the upcoming year unless we raised additional funds. Accordingly, notwithstanding the capital raised in our July 2015 private placement, our current cash level raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern past December 2015. If we do not obtain additional funds by such time, we may no longer be able to continue as a going concern and will cease operation which means that our shareholders will lose their entire investment. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for manufacturing, clinical trials, employee compensation and consulting costs and expenses. We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $ 0.6 0.9 We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $ 1.4 2.0 Loss per Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share. Six months ended June 30, 2015 2014 Shares underlying options outstanding 8,926,695 8,462,895 Shares underlying warrants outstanding 18,549,724 20,510,987 Shares underlying convertible notes outstanding 274,713 265,894 27,751,132 29,239,776 Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. Valuation Hierarchy - GAAP establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has no such assets or liabilities outstanding. We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. All awards under our stock-based compensation programs are accounted for at fair value and that cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Compensation expense for options granted to non-employees is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is a more reliable measurement. Compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees is re-measured on each accounting period. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based compensation and the volatility of our stock price. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value our stock option awards which incorporates our stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This update provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The amendments contained in this update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15, and we have not yet determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, simplifying the income statement presentation. The guidance does not change the requirement to disclose items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, although early adoption is permitted. Exclusive of a material transaction that would qualify for extraordinary item presentation in future periods, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our financial statements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. There are various other recently issued updates, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries, and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters On March 12, 2012, GenSpera instituted a declaratory judgment action against Annastasiah Mhaka (“Mhaka”) in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland: GenSpera, Inc. v. Mhaka, Civil Action No. MJG-12-772 (D. Md.). In its complaint, GenSpera, as the exclusive licensee of the inventions described and claimed in the U.S. Patent No. 7,468,354 (“the ‘354 patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 7,767,648 (“the ‘648 patent”), sought a declaratory judgment that Mhaka should not be added to either the ‘354 patent or the ‘648 patent as an inventor. On April 2, 2012, Mhaka filed and served her answer and counterclaim, in which she sought to be added as an inventor to the ‘354 patent and the ‘648 patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 256. On November 1, 2012, Mhaka filed a second complaint in Maryland state court, asserting state tort claims against GenSpera and Drs. Samuel Denmeade and John Isaacs. On May 1, 2013, the District Court granted GenSpera’s motion for summary judgment in the original case. Reserving any ruling on the issue of whether Mhaka’s state law tort claims were preempted by federal patent law, the Court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss Mhaka’s complaint in the second case and directed Mhaka to re-file her claims as counterclaims in the original action. On May 14, 2013, Mhaka filed an amended answer and counterclaims in the consolidated action, re-pleading her tort claims as counterclaims. On June 3, 2013, GenSpera (along with Drs. Denmeade and Isaacs) filed a reply to the counterclaims, denying their allegations and raising a number of affirmative defenses. On January 2, 2014, Drs. Isaacs and Denmeade moved for summary judgment on the grounds that Mhaka’s tort claims were barred by the applicable statute of limitations, and GenSpera joined in the motion. On May 6, 2014, GenSpera moved separately for summary judgment, a motion that Drs. Denmeade and Isaacs joined in part. On September 12, 2014, the District Court granted GenSpera’s motion for summary judgment as well as the motion for summary judgment filed by Drs. Denmeade and Isaacs. Judgment in favor of GenSpera, Dr. Isaacs, and Dr. Denmeade was entered concurrently for purposes of both the original case and the second case. On October 10, 2014, Mhaka filed notices of Appeal with the United States Courts of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and Federal Circuit. On December 11, 2014, GenSpera (along with Drs. Denmeade and Isaacs) filed a motion to dismiss the appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on the ground that the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit possesses exclusive jurisdiction over any appeal from the District Court. On December 29, 2014, Mhaka filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss and moved the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to stay appellate proceedings pending resolution of the appeal before the United States Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit. On January 12, 2015, the Appellees filed an opposition to the motion to stay. On March 17, 2015, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed Mhaka’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In the appellate proceedings before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Mhaka originally filed her opening brief on December 26, 2014. Mhaka filed a corrected opening brief on January 20, 2015. On February 12, 2015, the Appellees filed their responsive brief, and on March 16, 2015, Mhaka filed a reply brief. Oral argument took place on July 9, 2015. On July 16, 2015, the Federal Circuit entered judgment in our favor, affirming the district court in all respects. |

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for manufacturing, clinical trials, employee compensation and consulting costs and expenses. We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $ 0.6 0.9 We incurred research and development expenses of approximately $ 1.4 2.0 |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Loss per Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share. Six months ended June 30, 2015 2014 Shares underlying options outstanding 8,926,695 8,462,895 Shares underlying warrants outstanding 18,549,724 20,510,987 Shares underlying convertible notes outstanding 274,713 265,894 27,751,132 29,239,776 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. |
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements Valuation Hierarchy - GAAP establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has no such assets or liabilities outstanding. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. All awards under our stock-based compensation programs are accounted for at fair value and that cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Compensation expense for options granted to non-employees is determined in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is a more reliable measurement. Compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees is re-measured on each accounting period. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based compensation and the volatility of our stock price. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value our stock option awards which incorporates our stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free interest rate, dividend rate, and estimated life. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This update provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The amendments contained in this update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15, and we have not yet determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, simplifying the income statement presentation. The guidance does not change the requirement to disclose items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, although early adoption is permitted. Exclusive of a material transaction that would qualify for extraordinary item presentation in future periods, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our financial statements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. There are various other recently issued updates, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries, and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
