Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation The Company Kura Oncology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to realizing the promise of precision medicines for the treatment of cancer. Our pipeline consists of small molecule product candidates that target cancer signaling pathways where there is a strong scientific and clinical rationale to improve outcomes, and we intend to pair them with molecular or cellular diagnostics to identify those patients most likely to respond to treatment. We plan to advance our product candidates through a combination of internal development and strategic partnerships while maintaining significant development and commercial rights. References in these Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us,” refer to Kura Oncology, Inc. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023, from which we derived our balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported on our unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. The amounts reported could differ under different estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, which are based on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results may differ from management’s estimates. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reclassifications The prior period restricted cash balance of approximately $ 0.2 million has been reclassified to other long-term assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statem ents. See Note 6, Leases, for further details. Allowance for Credit Losses For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the severity of the impairment, any changes in interest rates, market conditions, changes to the underlying credit ratings and forecasted recovery, among other factors. The credit-related portion of unrealized losses, and any subsequent improvements, are recorded in interest income through an allowance account. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the unaudited condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We elected the practical expedient to exclude the applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and amortized costs basis of our available-for-sale securities for purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our unaudited condensed balance sheets. Our accounting policy is to not measure an allowance for credit loss for accrued interest receivable and to write-off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable as a reversal of interest income in a timely manner, which we consider to be in the period in which we determine the accrued interest will not be collected by us. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We have established guidelines to limit our exposure to credit risk by placing investments with high credit quality financial institutions, diversifying our investment portfolio and placing investments with maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. We periodically review and modify these guidelines to maximize trends in yields and interest rates without compromising safety and liquidity. Employee Retention Credit Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020, or CARES Act, we were eligible to claim the employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 , we recognized $ 2.8 million of employee retention credits related to wages paid to our employees from July 2020 through September 2021 within operating expenses as a reduction to personnel costs in the unaudited condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We file d for the credit with the Internal Revenue Service in the first quarter of 2023. As of September 30, 2023 , an employee retention credit receivable of $ 2.8 million w as included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the unaudited condensed balance sheets, and we expect to receive such credit in the form of a cash payment during the second half of 2023. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which includes the shares related to outstanding pre-funded warrants (see Note 7), but excludes other potential common stock equivalents. Pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing basic and diluted net loss per share because shares may be issued for little or no additional consideration, and are fully vested and exercisable. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. As we have reported net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, dilutive net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. Common stock equivalents outstanding are comprised of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, warrants and employee stock purchase plan rights and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when net income is reported and their effect is dilutive. Common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaling approxim ately 12,664,000 and 9,111,000 , respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive weighted-average shares outstanding because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and, based on our preliminary assessment, we do not believe any will have a material impact on our unaudited condensed financial statements or related footnote disclosures. |

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , short-term investments of $ 369.7 million and $ 274.3 million, respectively, had maturities less than one year, and short-term investments of $ 54.2 million and $ 111.9 million, respectively, had maturities between one to two years. We had no realized gains or losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. As of September 30, 2023, 63 av ailable-for-sale securities with a fair market value of $ 404.3 million w ere in gross unrealized loss po sitions, $ 139.2 million of wh ich were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these available-for-sale securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis. Based on our review of these available-for-sale securities, the unrealized losses at September 30, 2023 were primarily due to changes in interest rates and not due to increased credit risks associated with specific securities. W e have no allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Unrealized gains and losses that are not credit-related are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities was $ 1.1 million and $ 0.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We have not written off any accrued interest receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 . |

Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash equivalents and short-term investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Available-for-sale securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, which are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs, and corporate debt securities, commercial paper, U.S. Agency bonds and non-U.S. government debt securities which are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. We determine the fair value of Level 2 related securities with the aid of valuations provided by third parties using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools. These valuation models and analytical tools use market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids and/or offers. We validate the fair values of Level 2 financial instruments by comparing these fair values to a third-party pricing source. The following tables summarize, by major security type, our cash equivalents and short-term investments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy, in thousands: September 30, 2023 Total Level 1 Level 2 Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 9,012 $ 9,012 $ — Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury securities 290,841 290,841 — Corporate debt securities 78,931 — 78,931 Commercial paper 24,280 — 24,280 U.S. Agency bonds 15,271 — 15,271 Non-U.S. government debt securities 14,530 — 14,530 Total short-term investments 423,853 290,841 133,012 Total $ 432,865 $ 299,853 $ 133,012 December 31, 2022 Total Level 1 Level 2 Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 37,878 $ 37,878 $ — U.S. Agency bonds 9,956 — 9,956 Total cash equivalents 47,834 37,878 9,956 Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury securities 180,049 180,049 — Corporate debt securities 111,832 — 111,832 Commercial paper 52,941 — 52,941 U.S. Agency bonds 16,043 — 16,043 Non-U.S. government and supranational debt securities 25,318 — 25,318 Total short-term investments 386,183 180,049 206,134 Total $ 434,017 $ 217,927 $ 216,090 We believe that our term loan facility bears interest at a rate that approximates prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying value of the term loan facility approximates fair value. The fair value of our term loan facility is determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 6. Leases We currently have three operating leases for administrative and research and development office and lab space in San Diego, California and Boston, Massachusetts that expire between July 2024 and July 2031 . Under the terms of the operating leases, we are required to pay our proportionate share of property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs. Two of our leases include renewal options for an additional five years , which were not included in the determination of the right-of-use, or ROU, asset or lease liability as the renewal was not reasonably certain at the inception of the lease . Our San Diego corporate headquarters lease and our San Diego lease for lab and office space provided for $ 1.0 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively, in reimbursements for allowable tenant improvements, which effectively reduced the total lease payments owed. On August 30, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the lease agreement for office space in Boston, Massachusetts, or the Amendment, pursuant to which the term of the lease was extended by seven years , or the Extended Term, such that the lease will now expire in July 2031 . The minimum rent payable during the Extended Term is approximately $ 0.1 million per month for the first year, which amount will increase by 2 % per year over the Extended Term. The Amendment provides (i) a rent credit in the amount of approximately $ 0.5 million to be applied as a credit against the rent payments due for the months of August 2023 through July 2024, inclusive, and (ii) a tenant improvement allowance in an amount not to exceed approximately $ 0.8 million, in each case subject to certain conditions. We elected to apply the tenant improvement allowance as a credit against the rent payments due for the months of August 2024 through March 2025, inclusive. Prior to the Amendment, we were required to maintain a standby letter of credit of approximately $ 0.2 million during the term of the lease which was recorded as restricted cash in the prior period unaudited condensed balance sheets. Under the terms of the Amendment, we are required to maintain a cash deposit of approximately $ 0.2 million during the term of the lease which was included within other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. Maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023 are as follows, in thousands: Year Ending December 31, 2023 (remaining) $ 464 2024 1,545 2025 1,964 2026 1,344 2027 1,371 Thereafter 5,138 Total lease payments 11,826 Less: imputed interest ( 3,691 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 8,135 As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted-average discoun t rate was 10.3 % and 5.5 %, respectively , and the weighted-average remaining lease ter m was 6.3 years and 2.3 years, respectively. Total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease lia bilities was $ 1.7 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, operating lease ROU assets of approximately $ 4.7 million were obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities. No operating lease ROU assets were obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Total operating lease expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $ 0.5 million in both periods. Total operating lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $ 1.5 million in both periods. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | 7. Stockholders’ Equity In June 2023, we completed a public offering in which we sold an aggregate of 5,660,871 shares of our common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,034,782 shares of our common stock at a price of $ 11.4999 per pre-funded warrant. The exercise price of each pre-funded warrant is $ 0.0001 per share and the pre-funded warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance until fully exercised. Net proceeds from the public offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $ 93.6 million. In addition, the underwriters were granted a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,304,347 additional shares of our common stock, or the Overallotment Option, at the $ 11.50 per share public offering price. The common stock, pre-funded warrants, and Overallotment Option met the accounting standards guidance for equity classification. The Overallotment Option expired without being exercised in July 2023. We measured the fair value of the Overallotment Option using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which represents a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined that the value was not material. |

On May 31, 2023, upon approval by our stockholders of an amendment to our Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, we granted an aggregate of 1,313,100 performance-based restricted stock units, or PSUs, to certain executives. The PSUs vest in six equal tranches upon the achievement of certain milestones and service conditions. As of September 30, 2023, we determined that the vesting of the PSUs was not probable and have not been included in share-based compensation expense or unrecognized estimated compensation expense. |

Reclassifications | Reclassifications The prior period restricted cash balance of approximately $ 0.2 million has been reclassified to other long-term assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statem ents. See Note 6, Leases, for further details. |
Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities | Allowance for Credit Losses For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the severity of the impairment, any changes in interest rates, market conditions, changes to the underlying credit ratings and forecasted recovery, among other factors. The credit-related portion of unrealized losses, and any subsequent improvements, are recorded in interest income through an allowance account. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the unaudited condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We elected the practical expedient to exclude the applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and amortized costs basis of our available-for-sale securities for purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our unaudited condensed balance sheets. Our accounting policy is to not measure an allowance for credit loss for accrued interest receivable and to write-off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable as a reversal of interest income in a timely manner, which we consider to be in the period in which we determine the accrued interest will not be collected by us. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We have established guidelines to limit our exposure to credit risk by placing investments with high credit quality financial institutions, diversifying our investment portfolio and placing investments with maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. We periodically review and modify these guidelines to maximize trends in yields and interest rates without compromising safety and liquidity. |
Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which includes the shares related to outstanding pre-funded warrants (see Note 7), but excludes other potential common stock equivalents. Pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing basic and diluted net loss per share because shares may be issued for little or no additional consideration, and are fully vested and exercisable. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. As we have reported net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, dilutive net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. Common stock equivalents outstanding are comprised of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, warrants and employee stock purchase plan rights and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when net income is reported and their effect is dilutive. Common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaling approxim ately 12,664,000 and 9,111,000 , respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive weighted-average shares outstanding because their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We have evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and, based on our preliminary assessment, we do not believe any will have a material impact on our unaudited condensed financial statements or related footnote disclosures. |
