Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Ardelyx, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a specialized biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing innovative first-in-class medicines to enhance the lives of patients with kidney and cardiorenal diseases. We operate in one business segment, which is the research, development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical products. Basis of Presentation These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our most recent annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2021 and results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The accompanying condensed financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2021, or for any other interim period or future year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to recognition of revenue, clinical trial accruals, contract manufacturing accruals, the fair value of assets and liabilities, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Liquidity As of March 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $178.2 million. We believe our current available cash, cash equivalents marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures and meet our obligations for at least 12 months following the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q. Failure to generate product revenue in a timely manner, or raise sufficient capital when needed, could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies and could require us to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of our product development programs, commercialization efforts, or other aspects of our business plans, and our operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted We have adopted no new accounting pronouncements other than those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , an amendment which modifies the measurement and recognition of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The amendment updates the guidance for measuring and recording credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost by replacing the “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model. Accordingly, these financial assets will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendment also requires that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded as an allowance through net income rather than reducing the carrying amount under the current, other-than-temporary-impairment model. For smaller reporting companies the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our financial statements. |

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments | CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Securities classified as cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are summarized below (in thousands): March 31, 2021 Gross Unrealized Amortized Cost Gains Losses Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 2,751 $ — $ — $ 2,751 Money market funds 76,676 — — 76,676 Commercial paper 3,500 — — 3,500 Corporate bonds 1,143 — — 1,143 Total cash and cash equivalents 84,070 — — 84,070 Short-term investments Commercial paper $ 73,542 $ 3 $ (4) $ 73,541 Corporate bonds 15,308 — (6) 15,302 U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds 3,264 — — 3,264 Asset-backed securities 2,035 — — 2,035 Total short-term investments 94,149 3 (10) 94,142 Total cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 178,219 $ 3 $ (10) $ 178,212 December 31, 2020 Gross Unrealized Amortized Cost Gains Losses Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 781 $ — $ — $ 781 Money market funds 88,151 — — 88,151 Commercial paper 2,100 — — 2,100 Total cash and cash equivalents 91,032 — — 91,032 Short-term investments Commercial paper $ 60,631 $ 2 $ (4) $ 60,629 Corporate bonds 24,547 3 (6) 24,544 U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds 9,277 2 — 9,279 U.S. treasury notes 1,000 — — 1,000 Total short-term investments 95,455 7 (10) 95,452 Long-term investments: Corporate bonds $ 2,115 $ (1) 2,114 Total cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 188,602 $ 7 $ (11) $ 188,598 We invest excess cash in marketable securities with high credit ratings. These securities consist primarily of money market funds, commercial paper, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and U.S. treasury and agency securities and are classified as “available-for-sale.” All available-for-sale securities held as of March 31, 2021 had contractual maturities of less than one year. Our available-for-sale securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. We consider a debt security to be impaired when the fair value of that security is less than its carrying cost, in which case we would further evaluate the investment to determine whether the security is other-than-temporarily impaired. When we evaluate an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, we review factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition or creditworthiness of the issuer and any changes thereto, intent to sell, and whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment before the recovery of its cost basis. If an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired, we write the investment down through the statement of operations to its fair value and establishes that value as the new cost basis for the investment. Management has determined that none of our available-for-sale securities were other-than-temporarily impaired in any of the periods presented, and as of March 31, 2021, no investment was in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than one year. As such, we believe that it is more likely than not that the investments will be held until maturity or a forecasted recovery of fair value. |
Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 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 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows: Level 1 – Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and readily accessible by us at the reporting date. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices on active markets. Level 2 – Valuations based on 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 that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices on active markets. Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions. The following table sets forth the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): March 31, 2021 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 76,676 $ 76,676 $ — $ — Commercial paper 77,041 — 77,041 — Corporate bonds 16,445 — 16,445 — U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds 3,264 — 3,264 — Asset-backed securities 2,035 — 2,035 — Total $ 175,461 $ 76,676 $ 98,785 $ — Liabilities: Derivative liability for Exit Fee $ 1,412 $ — $ — $ 1,412 Total $ 1,412 $ — $ — $ 1,412 December 31, 2020 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds $ 88,151 $ 88,151 $ — $ — Commercial paper 62,729 — 62,729 — Corporate bonds 26,658 — 26,658 — U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds 9,279 — 9,279 — U.S. treasury notes 1,000 — 1,000 — Total $ 187,817 $ 88,151 $ 99,666 $ — Liabilities: Derivative liability for Exit Fee $ 1,376 $ — $ — $ 1,376 Total $ 1,376 $ — $ — $ 1,376 Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. We classify money market funds as Level 1. When quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, we estimate fair value by using benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and issuer spreads. We classify U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds, U.S. treasury notes, corporate bonds, commercial paper, asset-backed securities and foreign currency derivative contracts as Level 2. In certain cases, where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to valuation, securities or derivative liabilities such as the Exit Fee, as defined and discussed in Note 4, are classified as Level 3. The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, due to their short-term nature. Fair Value of Debt The interest rate of our term loan facility approximates the rate at which we could obtain alternative financing. Therefore, the carrying amount of the term loan facility approximated its fair value at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |

Collaboration and Licensing Agreements | COLLABORATION AND LICENSING AGREEMENTS Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (“KKC”) 2019 KKC Agreement In November 2019, we entered into a research collaboration and option agreement with KKC (the “2019 KKC Agreement”) for research associated with identifying two preclinical compounds that are ready for designation as development compounds (“DCs”), with one compound inhibiting the first undisclosed target (“Program 1”), and a second inhibiting the second undisclosed target (“Program 2”). Pursuant to the 2019 KKC Agreement, upon completion of the research and designation by the research steering committee of one or more DCs, KKC has the right to execute one or more separate collaborative agreements relating to the development and commercialization of one or both DCs in certain specified territories. Under the terms of the 2019 KKC Agreement, KKC agreed to pay us a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront fee of $10.0 million, payable as follows: the first installment of $5.0 million within 30 days of November 11, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), and the second installment of $5.0 million on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the 2019 KKC Agreement is earlier terminated by KKC due to material breach by us. The term of the 2019 KKC Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and ends on the earliest of: (i) 2 years following the Effective Date, (ii) the nomination of a program DC for both programs, (iii) the nomination of one program DC and the decision by the parties to cease research for the other program, or (iv) the decision by the parties to cease research for both programs. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $1.5 million as revenue under the 2019 KKC Agreement in the accompanying condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2021 was $2.7 million which is presented in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as deferred revenue. As of March 31, 2021, we expect to recognize the remaining transaction price allocated to our partially unsatisfied performance obligations over the remaining research terms, which is currently expected to extend through the end of 2021. There were no significant changes in estimates associated with the 2019 KKC Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2021. 2017 KKC Agreement In November 2017, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with KKC (the “2017 KKC Agreement”), for the development, commercialization, and distribution of tenapanor in Japan for cardiorenal indications. We granted KKC an exclusive license to develop and commercialize certain sodium hydrogen exchanger 3 (“NHE3”) inhibitors including tenapanor in Japan for the treatment of cardiorenal diseases and conditions, excluding cancer. We retained the rights to tenapanor outside of Japan, and also retained the rights to tenapanor in Japan for indications other than those stated above. Pursuant to the 2017 KKC Agreement, KKC is responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in the development and commercialization of tenapanor for all licensed indications in Japan. We are responsible for supplying the tenapanor drug substance for KKC’s use in development and commercialization throughout the term of the 2017 KKC Agreement, provided that KKC may exercise an option to manufacture the tenapanor drug substance under certain conditions. We assessed these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related amendments (“ASC 606”) and concluded that the contract counterparty, KKC, is a customer. Under the terms of the 2017 KKC Agreement, we received $30.0 million in upfront license fees, which was recognized as revenue when the agreement was executed. Based on our assessment, management determined that the license and the manufacturing supply services were its material performance obligations at the inception of the 2017 KKC Agreement, and as such, each of the performance obligations is distinct. In addition to the up-front license fee received of $30.0 million, we may be entitled to receive up to $55.0 million in total development milestones, of which $10.0 million has been recognized as revenue and $5.0 million has been received as of March 31, 2021, and approximately ¥8.5 billion for commercialization milestones, or approximately $76.5 million at the currency exchange rate on March 31, 2021, as well as reimbursement of costs plus a reasonable overhead for the supply of product and high-teen royalties on net sales throughout the term of the agreement. The variable consideration related to the remaining development milestone payments has not been included in the transaction price as these were fully constrained at March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $5.0 million and zero, respectively, as licensing revenue upon the achievement of development milestones. The $5.0 million development milestone recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the initiation by KKC of phase 3 clinical studies in Japan to evaluate tenapanor for hyperphosphatemia. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $0.1 million as product supply revenue related to the manufacturing supply of tenapanor and other materials to KKC pursuant to the 2017 KKC Agreement. Similarly, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, $13.0 thousand was recognized as product supply revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we recorded a $2.9 million prepayment that is due to us from KKC for the manufacturing of tenapanor drug substance. The prepayment is reflected within prepaid and other current assets and deferred revenue, non-current on our condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial Development Co. Ltd. (“Fosun Pharma”) In December 2017, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Fosun Pharma (the “Fosun Agreement”), for the development, commercialization and distribution of tenapanor in China for both hyperphosphatemia and IBS-C. We assessed these arrangements in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, Fosun Pharma, is a customer. Under the terms of the Fosun Agreement, we received $12.0 million in upfront license fees which was recognized as revenue when the agreement was executed. Based on management’s assessment, we determined that the license and the manufacturing supply services represented the material performance obligations at the inception of the agreement, and as such, each of the performance obligations is distinct. We may be entitled to additional development and commercialization milestones of up to $110.0 million, as well as reimbursement of cost plus a reasonable overhead for the supply of product and tiered royalties on net sales ranging from the mid-teens to 20%. The variable consideration related to the remaining development milestone payments has not been included in the transaction price as these were fully constrained at March 31, 2021. We have recorded no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the Fosun Agreement. Knight Therapeutics, Inc. (“Knight“) In March 2018, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Knight (the “Knight Agreement”), for the development, commercialization and distribution of tenapanor in Canada for hyperphosphatemia and IBS-C. We assessed this arrangement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that the contract counterparty, Knight, is a customer. Based on management’s assessment, we determined that the license and the manufacturing supply services represented the material performance obligations at the inception of the agreement, and as such, each of the performance obligations is distinct. Under the terms of the agreement, we received a $2.3 million nonrefundable, one-time upfront payment in March 2018 and are eligible to receive additional development and commercialization milestone payments worth up to $17.6 million. We are also eligible to receive royalties throughout the term of the agreement, and a transfer price for manufacturing services. The variable consideration related to the remaining development milestone payments has not been included in the transaction price as they were fully constrained at March 31, 2021. AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”) In June 2015, we entered into a termination agreement with AstraZeneca (the “AstraZeneca Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which we have agreed to pay AstraZeneca (i) future royalties at a royalty rate of 10% of net sales of tenapanor or other NHE3 products by us or our licensees, and (ii) 20% of non-royalty revenue received from a new collaboration partner should we elect to license, or otherwise provide rights to develop and commercialize tenapanor or another NHE3 inhibitor, up to a maximum of $75.0 million in aggregate for (i) and (ii). As of March 31, 2021, to date in aggregate, we have recognized $11.6 million of the $75.0 million, which has been recorded as cost of revenue, and have paid AstraZeneca $10.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 we recognized and recorded as cost of revenue $1.0 million related to the AstraZeneca Termination Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we recognized no cost of revenue related to the AstraZeneca Termination Agreement. Deferred Revenue The following tables present changes in our current and non-current deferred revenue balances during the reporting period. The current deferred revenue balance is attributable entirely to the 2019 KKC Agreement and the non-current deferred revenue balance is attributable entirely to the 2017 KKC Agreement. Deferred revenue - current Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 4,177 Decreases due to revenue recognized in the period for which cash has been received (1,454) Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 2,723 Deferred revenue - non-current Balance at December 31, 2020 $ — Increases to amounts invoiced, for which cash has not yet been received 2,947 Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 2,947 |

Borrowing | BORROWING Solar Capital and Western Alliance Bank Loan Agreement On May 16, 2018, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), with Solar Capital Ltd. and Western Alliance Bank (collectively the “Lenders”). The Loan Agreement provides for a $50.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of November 1, 2022 (the “Term Loan”). On October 9, 2020, we and the Lenders entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement (“the 2020 Amendment”) to extend the date through which we are permitted to make interest-only payments on the Term Loan by twelve months to December 1, 2021. The 2020 amendment also requires that if either the FDA does not approve our New Drug Application ("NDA") for tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with chronic kidney disease ("CKD") on dialysis on or before May 31, 2021 or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") issues a CRL with respect to our NDA Number 213931, then we are to begin principal payments on the earlier of June 1, 2021 or the first day of the month immediately following the date that the FDA issues us a CRL. On April 29, 2021, the FDA extended the Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") date for tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis by three months to July 29, 2021, making it unlikely that the FDA would approve our NDA for tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis on or before May 31, 2021. In May 2021, we and the Lenders entered into an additional amendment to the Loan Agreement (“the 2021 Amendment”) to extend the date by which FDA approval is required in order to continue interest-only payments through December 1, 2021. The 2021 Amendment requires that if either the FDA does not approve our NDA Number 213931 for tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis on or before July 31, 2021 or the FDA issues a complete response letter (“CRL”) for tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis, then we are to begin principal payments on the earlier of August 1, 2021 or the first day of the month immediately following the date that the FDA issues us a CRL. If principal repayments are required to begin prior to December 1, 2021 under the 2021 Amendment then the first principal repayment would include all payments that would have been due if principal repayment had begun on June 1, 2021. We paid a closing fee of 1% of the Term Loan, or $0.5 million, upon the closing of the Term Loan, and $0.1 million upon closing of the 2020 Amendment. Under the Term Loan, we are also obligated to pay a final fee equal to 4.95% of the Term Loan upon the earliest to occur of the maturity date, the acceleration of the Term Loan, the prepayment or repayment of the Term Loan or the termination of the Loan Agreement. We may voluntarily prepay the outstanding Term Loan, subject to a prepayment premium of (i) 3% of the principal amount of the Term Loan if prepaid prior to or on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 2% of the principal amount of the Term Loan if prepaid after the first anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (iii) 1% of the principal amount of the Term Loan if prepaid after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the maturity date. The Term Loan is secured by substantially all our assets, except for our intellectual property and certain other customary exclusions. Additionally, in connection with the Term Loan, we entered into the Exit Fee Agreement, as discussed in Note 6. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default that entitle the Lender to cause us indebtedness under the Loan Agreement to become immediately due and payable, and to exercise remedies against us and the collateral securing the Term Loan, including our cash. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of an event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 4% per annum will apply to all amounts owed under the Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, to our knowledge, there were no facts or circumstances in existence that would give rise to an event of default. As of March 31, 2021, our future payment obligations related to the Term Loan, excluding interest payments and the Exit Fee, are as follows (in thousands): Total repayment obligations $ 52,475 Less: Unamortized discount and debt issuance costs (449) Less: Unaccreted value of final fee (1,011) Loan payable 51,015 Less: Loan payable, current portion (16,667) Loan payable, net of current portion $ 34,348 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Liability | DERIVATIVE LIABILITY Exit Fee In May 2018, in connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, as defined and discussed in Note 5, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which we agreed to pay $1.5 million in cash (the “Exit Fee”) upon any change of control transaction in respect of the Company or if we obtain both (i) FDA approval of tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis and (ii) FDA approval of tenapanor for the treatment of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (“IBS-C”), which was obtained on September 12, 2019 when the FDA approved IBSRELA® (tenapanor), a 50 milligram, twice daily oral pill for the treatment of IBS-C in adults (the “Exit Fee Agreement”). Notwithstanding the prepayment or termination of the Term Loan, as defined and discussed in Note 5, our obligation to pay the Exit Fee will expire on May 16, 2028. We concluded that the Exit Fee is a freestanding derivative which should be accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The estimated fair value of the Exit Fee is recorded as a derivative liability and included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and is classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy since our valuation utilized significant unobservable inputs. Specifically, the key assumptions included in the calculation of the estimated fair value of the derivative liability include: (i) our estimates of both the probability and timing of a potential $1.5 million payment to Solar Capital Ltd. and Western Alliance Bank as a result of the FDA approvals and (ii) a discount rate which was derived from our estimated cost of debt, adjusted with current LIBOR (or a comparable successor rate if LIBOR no longer exists). Generally, increases or decreases in the probability of occurrence would result in a directionally similar impact in the fair value measurement of the derivative liability and it is estimated that a 10% increase (decrease), not to exceed 100%, in the probability of occurrence would result in a fair value fluctuation of no more than $0.1 million. Changes in the fair value of recurring measurements included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are presented as other income (expense), net in our statements of operations and were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Fair value of Exit Fee derivative liability at January 1 $ 1,376 $ 969 Change in estimated fair value of derivative liability 36 82 Fair value of Exit Fee derivative liability at March 31 $ 1,412 $ 1,051 |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | NET LOSS PER SHAREBasic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase, and excludes any dilutive effects of stock-based awards and warrants. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, and unvested restricted common stock and stock units. As we had net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of net loss per common share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Numerator: Net loss $ (33,155) $ (22,373) Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 97,179,241 88,880,658 Net loss per share - basic and diluted $ (0.34) $ (0.25) For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the total number of securities that could potentially dilute basic net loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive was 13.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the total number of securities that could potentially dilute basic net loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive was 11.9 million. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our most recent annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2021 and results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The accompanying condensed financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2021, or for any other interim period or future year. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to recognition of revenue, clinical trial accruals, contract manufacturing accruals, the fair value of assets and liabilities, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted We have adopted no new accounting pronouncements other than those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , an amendment which modifies the measurement and recognition of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The amendment updates the guidance for measuring and recording credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost by replacing the “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model. Accordingly, these financial assets will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendment also requires that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded as an allowance through net income rather than reducing the carrying amount under the current, other-than-temporary-impairment model. For smaller reporting companies the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our financial statements. |
Fair Value Measurements | 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 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows: Level 1 – Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and readily accessible by us at the reporting date. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices on active markets. Level 2 – Valuations based on 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 that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices on active markets. Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions. |
