Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation | 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Yumanity Therapeutics, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Yumanity”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of treatments for neurodegenerative diseases caused by protein misfolding. The Company is subject to risks similar to those of other early clinical stage companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including dependence on key individuals, the need to develop commercially viable products, competition from other companies, many of whom are larger and better capitalized, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need to obtain adequate additional financing to fund the development of its product candidates. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be maintained, that any product candidates developed will obtain required regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from the sale of its products. Exploration of Strategic Alternatives and Restructuring In February 2022, the Company announced that it is exploring strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value and engaged H.C. Wainwright as its exclusive financial advisor to assist in this process. No timetable has been established for the completion of this process, and the Company does not expect to disclose developments unless and until the Board of Directors has concluded that disclosure is appropriate or required. In February the Company also began implementation of a strategic restructuring with the objective of preserving capital. As part of the restructuring, it has eliminated approximately 60 % of its workforce and has taken other actions, including reducing its office and laboratory space, to reduce expenditures (see Note 5). Clinical and Regulatory Update In January 2022, the FDA placed a partial clinical hold on the Company's future multidose clinical trials of YTX-7739 in the United States. The FDA has not halted all clinical programming and is permitting the Company's proposed single dose formulation clinical trial to proceed. The Company anticipates working closely with the FDA to try to adequately address their concerns. While the Company works to address the FDA’s concerns, it has paused its planned clinical study of YTX-7739 in glioblastoma multiforme patients and the exploration of additional indications. Merger with Proteostasis Therapeutics, Inc. On December 22, 2020, Proteostasis Therapeutics, Inc. (“Proteostasis” or “PTI”) completed its previously announced merger transaction with Yumanity, Inc. (formerly Yumanity Therapeutics, Inc.) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of August 22, 2020, as amended on November 6, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pangolin Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Proteostasis (“Merger Sub”), Yumanity Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and Yumanity, Inc., pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Yumanity, Inc., with Yumanity, Inc. surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Proteostasis (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Proteostasis changed its name to “Yumanity Therapeutics, Inc.” Basis of presentation The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise noted, all references to common stock share and per share amounts have also been adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. Going concern The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the original issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily with equity and debt including proceeds from the Merger. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including net losses of $ 13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 200.7 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future, although at reduced expected levels as a result of restructuring actions taken in the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will not be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for a period of twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently evaluating strategic alternatives including an acquisition, merger, reverse merger, other business combination, sales of assets, licensing or other strategic transactions involving the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in executing such transaction or obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding or enter into strategic alternatives, the Company will be forced to further delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs or initiate steps to cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019 and has spread worldwide, has caused many governments to implement measures to slow the spread of the outbreak. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred, supply chains have been disrupted, and facilities and production have been suspended. The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on the Company’s business and operations are uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and may affect the Company’s ability to initiate and complete preclinical studies, delay its clinical trial or future clinical trials, disrupt regulatory activities, or have other adverse effects on its business and operations. The pandemic has already caused significant disruptions in the financial markets, and may continue to cause such disruptions, which could impact the Company’s ability to raise additional funds to support its operations. Moreover, the pandemic has significantly impacted economies worldwide and could result in adverse effects on the Company’s business and operations. Clinical trial sites in many countries, including those in which the Company operates, have incurred delays due to COVID-19. Certain of the sites in the YTX-7739 Phase 1b clinical trial incurred delays due to COVID-19 that resulted in a delay in the results from that study. There continues to be a risk of additional delays to the Company’s clinical programs. To date, the Company has not incurred impairment losses in the carrying values of its assets as a result of the pandemic and it is not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require it to revise its estimates reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including current and future clinical trials and research and development costs, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain or treat it, and the duration and intensity of the related effects. At-the-Market Offering Program In April 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the "Prior Sales Agreement") with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) with respect to an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program under which it could have issued and sold, from time-to-time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, in an aggregate offering amount of up to $ 60.0 million. In December 2021, the Company terminated the Prior Sales Agreement and entered into a new sales agreement with Jefferies with respect to an ATM offering under which it may issue and sell, from time-to-time and at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, in an aggregate offering amount of up to $ 60.0 million (the “New Sales Agreement”). Jefferies acts as the Company's sales agent and will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of common stock from time-to-time, based upon instruction by the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies up to 3 % of the gross proceeds from any common stock sold through the New Sales Agreement. The Company sold 216,332 shares of common stock under the New Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022 for aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 0.4 million, after deducting sales commissions. As of March 31, 2022 , $ 59.6 million of common stock remained available for future issuance under the New Sales Agreement, although these amounts may be limited as the Company will be subject to the general instructions of Form S-3 known as the "baby shelf rules." Under these instructions, the amount of funds the Company can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using its registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of the shares of its common stock held by non-affiliates of the Company. Therefore, the Company will be limited in the amount of proceeds it is able to raise by selling shares of its common stock using its Form S-3 until such time as its public float exceeds $ 75 million. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Unaudited Interim Financial Information The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2022 and condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the notes thereto, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022. There were no changes to significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022 . Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the accrual of research and development expenses prior to the Merger and the valuation of stock-based awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. Restricted cash Amounts included in restricted cash represent amounts pledged as collateral for Company credit cards as part of the terms of the “New Loan” and for its office and laboratory space lease. These amounts are classified as restricted cash (non-current) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In December 2020, in connection with the Merger, the Company acquired Proteostasis’ restricted cash pledged as collateral for its office and laboratory space lease and amended its loan and security agreement to establish an escrow account in the amount of its Paycheck Protection Program loan. After forgiveness of the PPP Loan, in April 2021 the escrowed cash was released and reclassified into cash and cash equivalents. The cash pledged as collateral is classified as restricted cash (non-current) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the cash and restricted cash of $ 16.9 million and $ 54.2 million, respectively, presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included cash and cash equivalents of $ 16.1 million and $ 52.1 million, respectively, and restricted cash of $ 0.9 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively. Fair value measurements Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. 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. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt under its loan and security agreement approximates its fair value due to its variable interest rate. |

Collaboration Agreement | 4. Collaboration Agreement In June 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license and research collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. (“Merck”) to support the research, development and commercialization of products for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD). Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted Merck an exclusive, worldwide license with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, under certain intellectual property rights related to two certain undisclosed targets in connection with the Company’s ALS and FTLD programs to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell and sell compounds and products covered by such intellectual property rights. In the event that the exploitation of such compound or product would infringe during the term of the Merck Collaboration Agreement a claim of an issued patent controlled by Yumanity, Yumanity also granted Merck a non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free license under such issued patent to exploit such compound and product. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company and Merck are each responsible to perform certain research activities in accordance with a mutually agreed upon research plan. Upon the completion of certain stages of the research plan, Merck will elect to either advance and make certain contractual option payments or terminate the applicable research program. If Merck elects not to advance a research program, such program terminates and the rights granted to Merck in the program revert to the Company. Following completion of the research program, Merck is responsible for the development and commercialization of the compounds developed pursuant to the research program and any product containing such compounds. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment totaling $ 15.0 million in July 2020 and is eligible to receive up to $ 280.0 million upon achievement of specified research and development milestones, and up to $ 250.0 million upon achievement of specified sales-based milestones as well as a tiered, mid-single digit royalty on net sales of licensed products, subject to customary reductions. Unless terminated earlier, the Collaboration Agreement will continue in full force and effect until one or more products has received marketing authorization and, thereafter, until expiration of all royalty obligations under the Collaboration Agreement. The Company or Merck may terminate the Collaboration Agreement upon an uncured material breach by the other party or insolvency of the other party. Merck may also terminate the Merck Collaboration Agreement for any reason upon certain notice to the Company. Merck also participated in the Company’s Class C preferred units financing in June 2020 with terms consistent with those of other investors that purchased Class C preferred units in June 2020. The Class C preferred units were issued at a price of $ 4.0008 per unit, which was determined to be fair value based on the same price paid by other investors that purchased Class C preferred units in the financing. The equity investment was considered to be distinct from the Collaboration Agreement. The Company assessed the promised goods and services to determine if they are distinct. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that Merck cannot benefit from the promised goods and services separately from the others as they are highly interrelated and therefore not distinct. Accordingly, the promised goods and services represent one combined performance obligation and the entire transaction price was allocated to that single combined performance obligation. The performance obligation is being satisfied over the research term as the Company performs the research and development activities through the first substantive option period, and participates in a Joint Steering Committee to oversee research and development activities. Accordingly, the upfront payment of $ 15.0 million was recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue using the cost-to-cost method, which it believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to the total estimated costs expected upon satisfying the identified performance obligation. Under this method, revenue is recorded as a percentage of the estimated transaction price based on the extent of progress towards completion. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 , the Company recorded less than $ 0.1 million of collaboration revenue related to the Collaboration Agreement associated with providing the Initial Phase research and development services. At contract inception, the potential milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive were excluded from the transaction price as they were fully constrained. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reevaluates the transaction price and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company will adjust its estimate of the transaction price. Any additions to the transaction price would be reflected in the period as a cumulative revenue catch-up. At the inception of the arrangement, the Company evaluated the options held by Merck to either advance or terminate the applicable research program to determine if they provided Merck with any material rights. The Company concluded that the options were not issued at a significant and incremental discount, and therefore do not provide Merck with a material right. As such, these options were excluded as performance obligations and will be accounted for if and when they occur. In November 2021, the Company delivered one of two data packages associated with the Initial Phase of the research and development services. On December 17, 2021, Merck notified the Company that Merck has accepted the first data package for one program from their research collaboration with the Company relating to ALS and FTLD, and that Merck has elected to continue the research collaboration. Achievement of this milestone triggered a $ 5.0 million milestone payment due from Merck. Upon Merck electing to advance the research program into the second phase (the "Second Phase"), the Company assessed whether the promised goods and services for the Second Phase are distinct. Based on the facts and circumstances, including but not limited to key differences between the Initial Phase research plan and the Second Phase research plans, including experiments performed and personnel utilized, the Company determined that the Second Phase represents a separate contract with its own performance obligation. The Second Phase performance obligation is being satisfied over the Second Phase research term as the Company performs the research and development activities through the second substantive option period and participates in a Joint Steering Committee to oversee research and development activities. Accordingly, the option payment of $ 5.0 million was recorded to deferred revenue at December 31, 2021 and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized $ 1.0 million of collaboration revenue related to the Collaboration Agreement as the Second Phase performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes the Second Phase revenue using the cost-to-cost method, which it believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. The Company assessed the Collaboration Agreement to determine whether a significant financing component exists and concluded that a significant financing component does not exist. |

On February 25, 2022, the Company repaid to the Lender a payoff amount of $ 12.8 million and terminated the Term Loan, provided that the Company continues to be bound by certain indemnification obligations 0.2 million and included payment of approximately $ 0.9 million consisting of end of term costs of 5.25 % of the $ 15.0 million amount drawn under the Term Loan and $ 0.1 million as outlined below, as well as an interest/non-use fee of less than $ 0.1 million. 0.3 million became due upon repayment of the loan. On December 22, 2020, the Company entered into an Unconditional Secured Guaranty and Pledge Agreement (the “Guaranty”) with the Lender as a condition to the Lender’s consent to the Merger under the Term Loan between Yumanity, Inc. as borrower and the Lender. Immediately prior to the Merger, Yumanity, Inc. entered into a Fourth Amendment and Consent to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 22, 2020 with the Lender (the “Loan Amendment”). The Guaranty provides for the Company’s guaranty of Yumanity Inc.’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and provides the Lender a security interest in all of Company’s assets other than intellectual property as collateral. The Loan Amendment provides for the Lender’s consent to the Merger and to the creation and funding of a Silicon Valley Bank Paycheck Protection Program escrow account to hold funds in connection with Yumanity’s outstanding Paycheck Protection Program loan amounts for which Yumanity has submitted a forgiveness application. The Loan Amendment also amends the definition of “Change in Control” to include the situations in which the Company no longer controls Yumanity, Inc. The remaining terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement generally continue in the form existing prior to the Loan Amendment. On March 29, 2021, the Term Loan was amended again to allow for the creation of a new foreign subsidiary, as well as changing certain covenants related to the financial operations of said subsidiary. The subsidiary was formed on April 23, 2021. On April 13, 2021, the Term Loan was amended to reduce the end of term cost of $ 0.3 million to $ 0.1 million upon repayment of the loan. In April 2020, prior to entering into the Merger Agreement with PTI in August 2020, the Company issued a Promissory Note to Silicon Valley Bank, pursuant to which it received loan proceeds of $ 1.1 million (the “Loan”) provided under the PPP established under the CARES Act and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 3, 2021, the Company was notified by Silicon Valley Bank that the Loan forgiveness application was accepted by the Small Business Association as of March 30, 2021.

The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan was 79,092 shares. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning January 1, 2017, by the lesser of 3 % of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors. The shares of common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled, repurchased, or are otherwise terminated by the Company under the 2016 Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2008 Plan”) will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. On January 1, 2022, an additional 319,341 shares were reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan in accordance with the provisions of the 2016 Plan described above. Options granted under the 2016 Plan with service-based vesting conditions generally vest over four years and expire after ten years . As of March 31, 2022 the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan was 699,061 , of which 531,620 shares are available for future issuance under the 2016 Plan. 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan On February 3, 2016, PTI’s stockholders approved the 2016 ESPP, which became effective in connection with the completion of the PTI’s initial public offering.

In addition, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2016 ESPP will automatically increase each January 1, beginning January 1, 2017, by the lesser of (i) 6,938 shares of common stock, (ii) 1 % of the Company’s shares of common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (iii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors. As of March 31, 2022, the total number of shares reserved under the 2016 ESPP was 48,564 shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 ESPP was increased by 6,938 shares effective as of January 1, 2021 in accordance with the provisions of the 2016 ESPP described above. Yumanity Therapeutics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan On December 4, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2018 Unit Option and Grant Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s members on December 5, 2018. The 2018 Plan provided for the Company to grant unit options, restricted unit awards and unrestricted unit awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. As part of the Yumanity Reorganization (as defined below) and the Merger, the 2018 Plan was amended and restated as the “Yumanity Therapeutics, Inc. Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Option and Grant Plan”. Each stock option outstanding under the 2018 Plan at the Effective Time of the Merger was automatically converted into a stock option exercisable for the same number of shares of Yumanity common stock, and then assumed by the Company, based on the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price per share of such outstanding stock option, as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio. The 2018 Plan is administered by the board of directors or, at the discretion of the board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions are determined at the discretion of the board of directors, or its committee if so delegated. Options granted under the 2018 Plan with service-based vesting conditions generally vest over four years and expire after ten years . The total number of common shares that may be issued under the 2018 Plan is 1,527,210 as of March 31, 2022. Shares that are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of shares or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) and units that are withheld upon the exercise of an option or settlement of an award to cover exercise price or tax withholding shall be added back to units available under the 2018 Plan. As of March 31, 2022 , 123,861 shares remain available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Under each plan, the exercise price per option granted is not less than the fair market value of common stock as of the date of grant. 2021 Inducement Plan On June 2, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company’s 2021 Inducement Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which is used exclusively for the grant of equity awards to individuals who were not previously employees of the Company (or following a bona fide period of non-employment), as an inducement material to such individual’s entering into employment with the Company, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933. During three months ended March 31, 2022 , the Company issued 17,000 options from the 2021 Plan to purchase common stock. As of March 31, 2022 , the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 400,000 shares of which 242,600 shares are available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan. Shares that are expired, forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated without having been fully exercised will be available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. On April 13, 2021, Board of Directors approved the issuance of stock options to purchase 104,000 shares of its common stock. The stock options were issued outside of the Company’s 2021 Plan as an inducement material to the individual’s acceptance of an offer of employment with the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). Option valuation The fair value of option grants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to the Merger, the Company was a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock/unit volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of the Company’s options has been determined utilizing a midpoint convention estimate. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Option activity The following table summarizes the Company’s option activity during three months ended March 31, 2022: Number Weighted Weighted Aggregate (in years) (in thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,779,174 $ 18.99 7.67 — Granted 17,000 $ 2.89 — — Exercised — — — — Forfeited ( 246,808 ) $ 14.60 — — Outstanding as of March 31, 2021 1,549,366 $ 19.30 7.46 — Vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 2021 1,549,366 $ 19.30 7.46 — The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Stock/equity-based compensation The Company recorded stock/equity-based compensation expense related to common stock options and restricted stock units and restricted stock awards in the following expense categories in its condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended 2022 2021 Research and development expenses $ 101 $ 391 General and administrative expenses 1,103 1,016 $ 1,204 $ 1,407 As of March 31, 2022 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options and restricted common stock was $ 9.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period o f 2.55 years . |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 10. Leases In February 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with a third party for the use of office and laboratory space in Boston, Massachusetts, commencing in May 2020 (the “New Premises”). The Company determined that this license agreement qualified as a lease under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). The initial term of the license agreement is three years with the option to extend for a total of three one-year periods at fair-market rent at the time of each extension. In addition to use of office and laboratory space, the license fee includes various laboratory, office, and operational support services to be provided by the licensor. The initial monthly license fee escalates 3 % annually and totals approximately $ 12.0 million for the three-year term. Additionally, the licensee agreement for the New Premises requires the Company to pay for a non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use forty-two unreserved parking spaces adjacent to the New Premises at the prevailing monthly parking rate. On May 1, 2020 , the lease commencement date was met and the Company recorded an operating lease asset of $ 10.6 million and a corresponding lease liability of $ 10.2 million. On December 22, 2020, as part of the Merger, the Company acquired a lease for approximately 30,000 square feet of office and laboratory space (the “Merger Premises”) in Boston, Massachusetts. The lease commenced in January 2018 with rent payments commencing in April 2018. The initial term of the lease was ten years with the option to extend for an additional seven years at fair-market rent at the time of the extension. In addition to use of office and laboratory space, the Company is responsible for paying its allocable portion of building and laboratory operating expenses separately from rent, based on actual costs incurred. Remaining fixed lease payments at the time of the Merger were approximately $ 14.2 million. On December 22, 2020, the Company recorded an operating lease asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 10.2 million associated with this lease. The operating lease asset was increased by the value attributable to the below-market lease of $ 3.1 million and an allocated portion of the excess purchase price for the Merger of $ 1.9 million. On January 7, 2021 the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) with Moma Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Subtenant”), whereby the Company subleased the entire Merger Premises to the Subtenant. The initial term of the Sublease commences on the date the Company receives consent to the Sublease from the landlord and shall continue until 18 months from the commencement date. The Sublease provides for the first monthly installment of rent to be paid by the Subtenant on the date of the Sublease. The Sublease provides for an initial annual base rent of $ 1,939,340 , which increases annually up to a maximum annual base rent of $ 1,997,520 . The Subtenant also is responsible for paying to the Company operating costs, annual tax costs and all utility costs attributable to the Premises during the term of the Sublease. Expense arising from the Merger Premises of $ 0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and lease income from the Sublease of $ 0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are classified in operating expense on a net basis. On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into two agreements that effectively amended the “New Premises” license agreement for laboratory space in Boston, Massachusetts. The first agreement terminated the existing license, due to expire in May of 2023, effective March 31, 2022. The second agreement, effective April 1, 2022, created a new license for approximately 20 percent of the space covered by the original license with an expiration date of December 31, 2022. The Company agreed to surrender to Licensor the full amount of both the security deposit and the last month’s license fee held by licensor pursuant to the agreement, totaling approximately $ 0.8 million, in consideration of the agreement to terminate the original license. The new license agreement decreases the monthly license fee amount from $ 0.4 million to $ 0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company determined a triggering event occurred related to a portion of its Merger Premises. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test. Based on a comparison of undiscounted cash flows to the right of use (“ROU”) asset, the Company determined that the asset was impaired, driven largely by the difference between the existing lease, contract terms and sublease income potential. This resulted in an impairment charge of $ 3.9 million, which reflects the excess of the ROU asset carrying value over its fair value. The Company also leased property and equipment under agreements that are accounted for as finance leases. As of March 31, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement for an early termination of the finance leases, which primarily consisted of laboratory equipment. The remaining finance lease liabilities settled was less than $ 0.1 million. The components of lease cost were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended 2022 2021 Operating lease cost $ 1,666 $ 1,666 Short-term lease cost — — Variable lease cost 206 77 Finance lease cost: Amortization of lease assets 8 67 Interest on lease liabilities 1 3 Total finance lease cost $ 9 $ 70 Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information related to leases was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended 2022 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement $ 1,514 $ 1,247 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement $ 1 $ 3 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement $ 13 $ 70 Operating lease liabilities arising from obtaining $ — $ — Finance lease liabilities arising from obtaining right- $ — $ — The weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate were as follows: As of March 31, 2022 2021 Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) used for: Operating leases 5.75 4.88 Finance leases — 1.25 Weighted-average discount rate used for: Operating leases 8.98 % 9.02 % Finance leases — 6.10 % Because the interest rates implicit in the license agreement and lease agreement assumed from PTI were not readily determinable, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate was used to calculate the present value of each. The present value of the Company’s finance leases was calculated using the rate implicit in the lease. There were no finance leases as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, future annual lease payments under the Company’s real estate operating leases and equipment finance leases were as follows (in thousands): Year Operating Leases Lease Payments to be Received from Sublease Net Operating Lease Payments 2022 $ 1,999 $ ( 666 ) $ 1,333 2023 1,880 — $ 1,880 2024 1,931 — $ 1,931 2025 1,985 — $ 1,985 2026 2,039 — $ 2,039 Thereafter 2,800 — $ 2,800 Total future lease payments 12,634 ( 666 ) 11,968 Less: Imputed interest ( 2,920 ) — ( 2,920 ) Total lease liabilities $ 9,714 $ ( 666 ) $ 9,048 The following table presents lease assets and liabilities and their classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheet (in thousands): Leases Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Classification Amount Assets: Operating lease assets Operating lease right-of- use assets $ 10,082 Total leased assets $ 10,082 Liabilities: Current: Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities $ 604 Non-current: Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion 9,110 Total lease liabilities $ 9,714 |

Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies License agreement The Company has a tangible property and patent license agreement with Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (“Whitehead”) entered into in 2016 and subsequently amended in 2016 and 2018, under which the Company obtained a certain exclusive and non-exclusive, royalty-bearing, sublicensable, worldwide license to make, sell and distribute products under certain patents owned by Whitehead for certain know-how related to specific neurodegenerative diseases. In consideration for the rights granted by the agreement, the Company paid a one-time license fee of less than $ 0.1 million and issued 300,000 common units valued at $ 0.8 million. The Company is required to pay annual maintenance fees of up to $ 0.1 million through the termination of the agreement. The Company is also required to pay up to an aggregate of approximately $ 1.9 million upon the achievement of certain developmental and regulatory milestones for the first two licensed products under its first indication. The Company is also required to pay additional milestone amounts for subsequent licensed products under its first or subsequent indications, but at a lower rate. The Company did not meet any milestones for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company must also pay a royalty in the low single digits on future sales by the Company and a mid single to low double digit percentage of certain income received from sublicensees and certain partners. The license agreement remains in effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent licensed under the agreement. Whitehead may terminate the agreement upon the Company’s uncured material breach of the agreement, including failure to make required payments under the agreement or to achieve certain milestones, or if the Company becomes insolvent or bankrupt. The Company may terminate the license agreement at any time upon providing certain written notice to Whitehead. Contingent Value Rights Agreement In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with Shareholder Representative Services LLC as representative of the PTI stockholders. The CVR Agreement entitled each holder of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) to receive certain net proceeds, if any, derived from the grant, sale or transfer of rights of the CF Assets ( the “CF Assets”) to any one of three specified counterparties completed during the 9 -month period after the Effective Time (with any potential payment obligations continuing until the 10-year anniversary of the closing of the Merger Agreement). The CVR agreement became effective at Closing of the Merger. Due to the fact that no CF Asset sale was completed by the nine-month anniversary of the Effective Time, the CVRs expired. No liability has been recorded at March 31, 2022 or previous periods associated with the CVRs. Indemnification agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, contract research organizations, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and its executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. The Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and is not currently aware of any indemnification claims. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | Unaudited Interim Financial Information The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2022 and condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the notes thereto, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022. There were no changes to significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022 . |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the accrual of research and development expenses prior to the Merger and the valuation of stock-based awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted cash Amounts included in restricted cash represent amounts pledged as collateral for Company credit cards as part of the terms of the “New Loan” and for its office and laboratory space lease. These amounts are classified as restricted cash (non-current) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In December 2020, in connection with the Merger, the Company acquired Proteostasis’ restricted cash pledged as collateral for its office and laboratory space lease and amended its loan and security agreement to establish an escrow account in the amount of its Paycheck Protection Program loan. After forgiveness of the PPP Loan, in April 2021 the escrowed cash was released and reclassified into cash and cash equivalents. The cash pledged as collateral is classified as restricted cash (non-current) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the cash and restricted cash of $ 16.9 million and $ 54.2 million, respectively, presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included cash and cash equivalents of $ 16.1 million and $ 52.1 million, respectively, and restricted cash of $ 0.9 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively. |
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. 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. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt under its loan and security agreement approximates its fair value due to its variable interest rate. |
