Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Financial Statements | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming Melinta Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Melinta”) will continue as a going concern. We are not currently generating revenue from operations that is sufficient to cover our operating expenses and do not anticipate generating revenue sufficient to offset operating costs until at least 2020. We have incurred losses from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $675,723 as of September 30, 2018 , and we expect to incur substantial expenses and further losses in the short term for the development and commercialization of our product candidates and approved products. In addition, we have substantial commitments in connection with our acquisition of the infectious disease business of The Medicines Company ("IDB") that we completed in January 2018, including payments related to deferred purchase price consideration, assumed contingent liabilities and the purchase of inventory. Our future cash flows are dependent on key variables such as the level of sales achievement of our four marketed products, our ability to access additional debt capital under our Deerfield Facility, and our ability to finance the Company with the issuance of debt or equity financings. Our Deerfield Facility provides for $50,000 in additional capital if we meet certain sales milestones and allows us to secure a working capital revolving line of credit of up to $20,000 , the utilization of which would be dependent on our levels of accounts receivable and finished goods inventory. In addition, there are certain financial-related covenants under our Deerfield Facility, including requirements that we (i) file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018 , with an audit opinion without a going concern qualification, (ii) maintain a minimum cash balance of $25,000 , and (iii) achieve net revenue from product sales of at least $45,000 and $75,000 , respectively, for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019. Our operating forecasts include assumptions about our projected levels of sales growth, planned operating expenses, and other cash outflows. Revenue projections are inherently uncertain but have a higher degree of uncertainty in an early-stage commercial launch, which we have in Baxdela and Vabomere. Recent sales trends, combined with our current projections, are likely to limit our ability to draw the additional $50,000 from Deerfield until no earlier than the second half of 2019. In addition, after the payment of existing contractual obligations relating to the IDB acquisition and net cash outflows from our operations, our cash balances may not be sufficient to support compliance with our existing debt covenants in the first quarter of 2019. Further, we are unable to conclude that it is probable that managements' plans, discussed below, will be effectively implemented or, if implemented, will be effective in mitigating the risk that our current operating plans, existing cash and cash collections from existing revenue arrangements and product sales may not be sufficient to support compliance with our debt covenants and fund our operations for the next 12 months. As such, we believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We are focused on several initiatives to reduce our risk of default under the Deerfield Facility and reduce cash outflows. In November 2018, we put into place a plan under which we expect to significantly reduce future operating expenses (see Note 12), and we entered into a commitment letter with the Company’s largest shareholder - Vatera Healthcare Partners LLC (“ Vatera ”), pursuant to which Vatera has committed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $75,000 .We have the right to request funding of the commitment prior to December 31, 2018 in an amount not less than $50,000 , upon at least 10 business days’ written notice to Vatera. The closing under the purchase agreement will be subject to stockholder approval to increase the Company’s authorized share capital and to approve the issuance under applicable Nasdaq rules, as well as other customary conditions. In addition, we are exploring options to modify the terms of certain liabilities to increase our liquidity over the next 12 to 18 months. However, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in executing any or all of these initiatives. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of Melinta and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates —The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Trade and Other Receivables —Trade receivables consist of amounts billed for product shipments. Receivables for product shipments are recorded as shipments are made and title to the product is transferred to the customer. Other receivables consist of amounts billed, and amounts earned but unbilled, under our licensing agreements and our contracts with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“BARDA”). Receivables for license agreements are recorded as we achieve the requirements of the agreements, and receivables under the BARDA contracts are recorded as qualifying research activities are conducted and invoices from our vendors are paid. Unbilled receivables are also recorded based upon work estimated to have been completed for which we have not paid vendor invoices. We carry our receivables net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our receivables for collectability. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as we believe all receivables are fully collectible. Concentration of Credit Risk —Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to cash and cash equivalents and receivables. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with federally insured financial institutions, and at times, the amounts may exceed the federally insured deposit limits. To date, we have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which deposits are held. A significant portion of our trade receivables is due from three large wholesaler customers for our products, which constitute 35% , 28% and 25% , respectively, of our trade receivable balance at September 30, 2018 . Inventory —Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Inventory is valued on a first-in, first-out basis and consists primarily of third-party manufacturing costs, overhead—principally the cost of managing our manufacturers—and related transportation costs. We capitalize inventory upon regulatory approval when, based on our judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed. We review inventories on hand at least quarterly and record provisions for estimated excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory, as well as inventory with a carrying value in excess of net realizable value. Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximated their fair values at September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 . Debt Issuance Costs —Debt issuance costs represent legal and other direct costs incurred in connection with our notes payable. These costs were recorded as debt issuance costs in the balance sheets and amortized as a non-cash component of interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes payable. Long-Lived Assets —Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets with a definite life. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. If impairment indicators are present, we assess whether the future estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question are greater than their carrying amounts. If these future estimated cash flows are less than carrying value, we then measure an impairment loss for the amount that carrying value exceeds fair value of the assets. We have not recorded any significant impairment charges to date with respect to our long-lived assets; however, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded expense of $381 related to assets we disposed that we had previously purchased as part of a project to develop additional production capacity, which we decided to terminate in the quarter. Amortization of intangible assets was $4.2 million and $12.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. No intangible asset amortization was recorded in 2017. Based on the intangible asset balances as of September 30, 2018 , amortization expense is expected to be approximately $4.2 million for the remaining three months of 2018 and $17.0 million in each of the years 2019 through 2022 . Goodwill and Intangible Assets —Intangible assets consist of capitalized milestone payments for the licenses we use to make our products and the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, including in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), acquired in the IDB transaction. Given the uncertainty of forecasts of future revenue for our products, we amortize the cost of intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of each asset, generally the exclusivity period of each associated product. Amortization for IPR&D does not begin until the associated product has received approval and sales have commenced, at which time the IPR&D is reclassified to intangible assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets, including IPR&D, are not amortized, but are subject to an impairment review annually and more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of goodwill could occur if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded the fair value of that reporting unit. An impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value. The Company tests its goodwill, IPR&D and indefinite-lived assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset under review is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is performed. For its quantitative impairment tests, the Company uses both an income and market approach. The income approach involves an estimate of future cash flows based on internal projection models, industry projections and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management. The market approach utilizes analysis of recent sales, offerings, and financial multiples of comparable businesses. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of the assets and potentially result in different impacts to the Company's results of operations. Actual results may differ from the company's estimates. Revenue Recognition —On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) , and all related amendments. For further information regarding the adoption of Topic 606, see the “Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” section of this Note 2. Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this new revenue recognition guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines the following five-step process to achieve this core principle, and in doing so, it is possible that significant judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process. 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance only applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including the consideration of whether it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations; the assessment includes the evaluation of whether each promised good or service is distinct within the context of the contract. Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue separately for performance obligations that are “distinct.” Performance obligations are considered to be distinct if (a) the customer can benefit from the license or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) our promise to transfer the license or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If a license or service is not individually distinct, we combine the license or service with other promised licenses and/or services until we identify a bundle of licenses and/or services that together are distinct. We recognize, as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. In determining the transaction price, we consider all forms of variable consideration, which can take various forms, including, but not limited to, prompt-pay discounts, rebates, credits, and milestone payments. We estimate variable consideration using either the “expected value” or “most likely amount” method, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled. The expected value method is a probability-weighted approach that considers all possible outcomes while the most likely approach uses the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes. We apply a variable consideration constraint to the estimated transaction price if we conclude that it is probable that there is a risk of significant reversal of revenue once the uncertainty related to the variable consideration is resolved. Under the guidance of Topic 606, we recognize revenue for each performance obligation when the customer obtains control of the product and we have satisfied each of our respective obligations. Control is defined as the ability of the customer to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits of the asset. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 , we do not have any contract assets or liabilities and our contracts do not have any significant financing components. And, we have not capitalized contract origination costs. Licensing Arrangements We enter into license and collaboration agreements for the research and development and/or commercialization of therapeutic products. The terms of these agreements may include nonrefundable licensing fees, funding for research, development and manufacturing, milestone payments and royalties on any product sales derived from the collaborations in exchange for the delivery of licenses and rights to sell our products within specified territories outside the United States. In the determination of whether our license and collaboration agreements are accounted for under Topic 606 or Accounting Standards Classification (“ASC”) 808, Contract Accounting , we first assess whether or not the partner in the arrangement is a customer. If the partner in the arrangement is deemed a customer as it relates to some or all of our performance obligations, then the consideration associated with those performance obligations is accounted for as revenue under Topic 606. Our license agreements may include contingent or variable consideration based upon the achievement of regulatory- and sales-based milestones and future royalties based on a percentage of the partner’s net product sales. Performance obligations to deliver distinct licenses are recognized at a point in time. Milestone payments from licensees that are contingent and/or variable upon future regulatory events and product sales are not considered probable of being achieved until the milestones are earned and, therefore, the contingent revenue is subject to significant risk of reversal. As such, we constrain this variable consideration and do not include it in the transaction price (or recognize the revenue related to these milestones) until such time that the contingencies are resolved and generally recognized at a point in time. In addition, under the sales- or usage- based royalty exception in Topic 606, we do not estimate, at the onset of the arrangement, the variable consideration from future royalties or sales-based milestones. Instead, we wait to recognize royalty revenue until the future sales occur. In September 2018, we entered into a license agreement with Menarini, which grants to Menarini the exclusive right to market Vabomere, Orbactiv and Minocin in 68 countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The agreement includes an upfront license fee of €17,000 (which we received in October 2018), a milestone payment of €15,000 upon European marketing approval for Vabomere (for which we expect a decision by the end of 2018), potential regulatory- and sales-based milestones, and sales-based royalties. We determined that Menarini is a customer and we should account for the agreement under Topic 606. We identified one performance obligation under the agreement, the delivery of the licensed rights. In addition, we agreed to supply the products to Menarini at a cost that we concluded did not incorporate a significant incremental discount. We provided Menarini immediate access to the licensed rights and, as such, we allocated the upfront payment entirely to the license and recognized revenue at the point in time when the licensed rights were delivered, in September 2018. We will recognize any future contingent consideration, including milestone payments or royalty revenue, at such time when the milestones or royalties have been achieved. Adoption of Topic 606 We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not complete as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with legacy U.S. GAAP under ASC 605. In our adoption of Topic 606, we did not use practical expedients. In addition, we have considered the nature, amount and timing of our different revenue sources. Accordingly, the disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers is reflected in different captions within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For our Eurofarma distribution arrangements under which revenue was previously deferred, revenue is now recognized at the point in time when the license is granted and has benefit to Eurofarma. These deferred revenues were originally expected to be recognized in future periods over the period of time over which we supplied Baxdela under the supply arrangement, which could have lasted up to 10 years or longer. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized as a decrease to opening accumulated deficit and a decrease to deferred revenue of $10,008 on January 1, 2018. The effect of the adoption of Topic 606 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2017 Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Balance at January 1, 2018 Liabilities: Deferred revenue $ 10,008 $ (10,008 ) $ — Shareholders’ equity: Accumulated deficit $ (572,659 ) $ 10,008 $ (562,651 ) In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, we no longer recognize grant income as revenue (see Grant Income discussion below), but there was no change to the timing of historical recognition. Also, there was no change to the timing of recognition of contract revenue under our licensing agreements. However, unlike Topic 606, we believe that ASC 605 would have precluded revenue recognition for the recent launches of Baxdela and Vabomere™ for the initial stocking of product at wholesalers that had not sold through as of the end of the reporting period. As such, the following reflects what we believe our condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations would have been under ASC 605 compared to the recognition of revenue under Topic 606 as of, and for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2018 : Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenue Recognized Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Pro Forma Balance Under ASC 605 Revenue: Product sales, net $ 11,028 $ 920 $ 11,948 Cost of goods sold $ 13,393 $ 348 $ 13,741 Net loss $ (27,860 ) $ 572 $ (27,288 ) Net loss per share $ (0.50 ) $ (0.49 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenue Recognized Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Pro Forma Balance Under ASC 605 Revenue: Product sales, net $ 32,026 $ (1,740 ) $ 30,286 Cost of goods sold $ 32,068 $ (1,100 ) $ 30,968 Net loss $ (113,072 ) $ (640 ) $ (113,712 ) Net loss per share $ (2.66 ) $ (2.68 ) Balance at September 30, 2018 Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Pro Forma Balance Under ASC 605 Assets: Prepaid and other current assets $ 6,343 $ 1,100 $ 7,443 Liabilities: Deferred revenue $ — $ 10,008 $ 10,008 Shareholders' equity: Accumulated deficit $ (675,723 ) $ (640 ) $ (676,363 ) The table above does not reflect the reclassification of Grant income from Other income to Revenue under ASC 605. The reclassification would have no effect on net loss per share. We have no outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2018 , related to our licensing arrangements. Although we have agreements in place to supply Baxdela to our partners once they achieve regulatory approval in their respective territories, we concluded that the option to purchase Baxdela from us is not a material right because the product will not be priced at a significant discount. All performance obligations under our licensing arrangements were satisfied historically at a point in time. Variable consideration in the form of regulatory and sales-based milestones, which are payable under the terms of our licensing arrangements, has been constrained because of the risk of significant revenue reversal as in our revenue recognition policy included in this Note 2. Further, we recognize contract research revenue from Menarini as we incur the reimbursable development costs. We expect to continue these development efforts through early 2019 , although we expect the related revenue to decline through that time frame, as the associated development effort winds down. Product Sales Historically, substantially all our revenue was related to licensing and contract research arrangements related to our Baxdela product, and we did not sell any products. Beginning in January 2018 , as a result of both the acquisition of IDB and the launch of Baxdela, we now distribute Baxdela, Vabomere, Orbactiv ® , and Minocin ® products commercially in the United States. While we sell some of our products directly to certain hospitals and clinics, the majority of our product sales are made to wholesale customers who subsequently resell our products to hospitals or certain medical centers, as well as specialty pharmacy providers and other retail pharmacies. The wholesaler places orders with us for sufficient quantities of our products to maintain an appropriate level of inventory based on their customers’ historical purchase volumes and demand. We recognize revenue once we have transferred physical possession of the goods and the wholesaler obtains legal title to the product and accepts responsibility for all credit and collection activities with the resale customer. In addition, we enter into arrangements with health care providers that purchase our products from wholesalers—as well as payers and certain other customers—that provide for government mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products. The transaction price that we recognize as revenue reflects the amount we expect to be entitled to in connection with the sale and transfer of control of product to our customers. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. At the time that our customers take control of the product, which is when our performance obligation under the sales contracts is complete, we record product revenues net of applicable reserves for various types of variable consideration, most of which are subject to constraint, while also considering the likelihood and the magnitude of any revenue reversal, based on our estimates of channel mix. The types of variable consideration in our product revenue are as follows: • Prompt pay discounts • Product returns • Chargebacks and rebates • Fee-for-service • Government rebates • Commercial payer and other rebates • Group purchasing organization (“GPO”) administration fees • MelintAssist voluntary patient assistance programs In determining the amounts of certain allowances and accruals, we must make significant judgments and estimates. For example, in determining these amounts, we estimate hospital demand, buying patterns by hospitals, hospital systems and/or group purchasing organizations from wholesalers and the levels of inventory held by wholesalers and customers. Making these determinations involves analyzing third party industry data to determine whether trends in historical channel distribution patterns will predict future product sales. We receive data periodically from our wholesale customers on inventory levels and historical channel sales mix, and we consider this data when determining the amount of the allowances and accruals for variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration is estimated by using either of the following methods, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which we are entitled: a) The “expected value” is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Under Topic 606, an expected value may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if we have many contracts with similar characteristics. b) The “most likely amount” is the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts (i.e., the single most likely outcome of the contract). Under Topic 606, the most likely amount may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has only two possible outcomes (i.e., either achieve or don’t achieve a threshold specified in a contract). The method selected is applied consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on an amount of variable consideration. In addition, we consider all the information (historical, current, and forecasts) that is reasonably available to us and shall identify a reasonable number of possible consideration amounts. The relevant factors used in this determination include, but are not limited to, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. In assessing whether a constraint is necessary, we consider both the likelihood and the magnitude of the revenue reversal. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. The specific considerations we use in estimating these amounts related to variable consideration associated with our products are as follows: Prompt Pay Discounts – We provide wholesale customers with certain discounts if the wholesaler pays within the payment term, which is generally between 30 and 60 days. The discount percentage is reserved as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Product returns – Generally, our customers have the right to return any unopened product during the 18-month period beginning six months prior to the labeled expiration date and ending 12 months after the labeled expiration date. Where historical rates of return exist, we use history as a basis to establish a returns reserve for product shipped to wholesalers. For our newly launched products, for which we currently do not have history of product returns, we estimate returns based on third-party industry data for comparable products in the market. As we distribute our products and establish historical sales over a longer period of time (i.e., two years), we will be able to place more reliance on historical purchasing and return patterns of our customers when evaluating our reserves for product return. At the end of each reporting period for any of our products, we may decide to constrain revenue for product returns based on information from various sources, including channel inventory levels and dating and sell-through data, the expiration dates of product currently being shipped, price changes of competitive products and introductions of generic products. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we increased our returns reserve by $0.5 million and $0.8 million , respectively, due to risk factors that were present in connection with the initial stocking of inventory for the launch of our new products. Chargebacks – Although we primarily sell products to wholesalers in the United States, we typically enter into agreements with medical centers, either directly or through GPOs acting on behalf of their hospital members, in connection with the hospitals’ purchases of products. Based on these agreements, most of our hospital customers have the right to receive a discounted price for products and volume-based rebates on product purchases. In the case of discounted pricing, we typically provide a credit to our wholesale customers (i.e., chargeback), representing the difference between the customer’s acquisition list price and the discounted price. Fees-for-service – We offer discounts and pay certain wholesalers service fees for sales order management, data, and distribution services which are explicitly stated at contractually determined rates in the customer’s contracts. In assessing if the consideration paid to the customer should be recorded as a reduction of the transaction price, we determine whether the payment is for a distinct good or service or a combination of both. Since our wholesaler fees are not specifically identifiable, we do not consider the fees separate from the wholesaler's purchase of the product. Additionally, wholesaler services generally cannot be provided by a third party. Because of these factors, the consideration paid is considered a reduction of revenue. We estimate our fee-for-service accruals and allowances based on historical sales, wholesaler and distributor inventory levels and the applicable discount rate. Government Rebates – We participate in three rebate programs under various government programs: Medicaid, TRICARE and Medicare Part D. At the time of the sale it is not known what the government rebate rate will be, but historical rates are used to estimate the current period accrual. Medicaid – The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is a program that includes The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, State Medicaid agencies, and participating drug manufacturers that helps to offset the federal and state costs of most outpatient prescription drugs dispensed to Medicaid patients. The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is jointly funded by the states and the federal government. The program reimburses hospitals, physicians, and pharmacies for providing care to qualifying recipients who cannot finance their own medical expenses. TRICARE – TRICARE is a benefit established by law as the health care program for uniformed service members, retired service members, and their families. We must pay the Department of Defense (“DOD”) refunds for drugs entered into the normal commercial chain of transactions that end up as prescriptions given to TRICARE beneficiaries and paid for by the DOD. The refund amount is the portion of the price of the drug sold by us that exceeds the federal ceiling price. Refunds due to TRICARE are based solely on utilization of pharmaceutical agents dispensed through a TRICARE Retail Pharmacy to DOD beneficiaries. Medicare Part D – We maintain contracts with Managed Care Organizations (“MCOs”) that administer prescription benefits for Medicare Part D. MCOs either own pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) or contract with several PBMs to fulfill prescriptions for patients enrolled under their plans. As patients obtain their prescriptions, utilization data are reported to the MCOs, which generally submit claims for rebates quarterly. Commercial Payer and Other Rebates – We contract with certain private payer organizations, primarily insurance companies and PBMs, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of Baxdela and contracted formulary status. We estimate these rebates and record reserves for such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized. Currently, the reserve for customer payer rebates considers future utilization based on third party studies of payer prescription data; the utilization is applied to product that remains in the distribution and retail pharmacy channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. As we distribute our products and establish historical sales over a longer period of time (i.e., two years), we will be able to place more reliance on historical data related to commercial payer rebates (i.e., actual utilization units) while continuing to rely on third party data related to payer prescriptions and utilization. In addition, we offer rebates to certain customers based on the volume of product purchased over an agreed period of time. GPO Administration Fees – We contract with GPOs and pay administration fees related to contracting and membership management services provided. In assessing if the consideration paid to the GPO should be recorded as a reduction in the transaction price, we determine whether the payment is for a distinct good or service or a combination of both. Since our GPO fees are not specifically identifiable, we do not consider the fees separate from the purchase of the product. Additionally, the GPO services generally cannot be provided by a third party. Because of these factors, the consideration paid is considered a reduction of revenue. MelintAssist – We offer certain voluntary patient assistance programs for prescriptions, such as savings/co-pay cards, which are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified patients with full or partial prescription drug co-payments required by payers. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that we expect to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution and pharmac |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financing Arrangements | FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS Melinta’s outstanding debt balances consisted of the following as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : September 30, December 31, 2017 Principal balance under loan agreements $ 117,560 $ 40,000 Debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs for loan agreements (8,584 ) (445 ) Long-term balance under the loan agreements $ 108,976 $ 39,555 2014 Loan Agreement In December 2014 , we entered into an agreement with a lender pursuant to which we borrowed an initial term loan amount of $20,000 (the “ 2014 Loan Agreement”). In December 2015 , pursuant to the achievement of certain milestones with respect to the terms in the 2014 Loan Agreement, we borrowed an additional term loan advance in the amount of $10,000 . We were obligated to make monthly payments in arrears of interest only, at a rate of the greater of 8.25% or the sum of 8.25% plus the prime rate minus 4.5% per annum, commencing on January 1, 2015 , and continuing on the first day of each successive month thereafter through and including June 1, 2016 . Commencing on July 1, 2016 , and continuing on the first day of each month through and including the maturity date of June 1, 2018 , we were required to make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest. In June 2017 , we repaid the entire outstanding balance under the 2014 Loan Agreement (see discussion below under “2017 Loan Agreement”). In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized $662 and $1,229 of interest expense related to the 2014 Loan Agreement. 2017 Loan Agreement On May 2, 2017 , we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a new lender (the “2017 Loan Agreement”). Under the 2017 Loan Agreement, the lender made available to us up to $80,000 in debt financing and up to $10,000 in equity financing. The 2017 Loan Agreement bore an annual interest rate equal to the greater of 8.25% or the sum of 8.25% plus the prime rate minus 4.5% . We were also required to pay the lender an end-of-term fee upon the termination of the arrangement. If the outstanding principal was at or below $40,000 , the 2017 Loan Agreement required interest-only monthly payments for 18 months from the funding of the first tranche, at which time we would have had the option to pay the principal due or convert the outstanding loan to an interest plus royalty-bearing note. On June 28, 2017 , we drew the first tranche of financing under the 2017 Loan Agreement, the gross proceeds of which were $30,000 . We used the proceeds to retire amounts outstanding under the 2014 Loan Agreement. In August 2017 , we drew the second tranche of financing, receiving $10,000 . We retired the 2017 Loan Agreement in January 2018 (see discussion below). Facility Agreement On January 5, 2018 (the “Agreement Date”), in connection with the IDB acquisition, we entered into the Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with affiliates of Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”). Pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement, Deerfield agreed to loan us $147,774 as an initial disbursement (the “Term Loan”). The Facility Agreement also provides us the right to draw from Deerfield additional disbursements up to $50,000 (the “Disbursement Option”), which may be made available upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, such as our having achieved annualized net sales of at least $75,000 during the applicable period. We agreed to pay Deerfield an upfront fee and a yield enhancement fee, both equal to 2% of the principal amount of the funds disbursed pursuant to the Facility Agreement. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 11.75% , while funds distributed pursuant to the Disbursement Option will bear interest at a rate of 14.75% . We are also required to pay Deerfield an exit fee of 2.0% of the amount of any loans on the payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment thereof. The principal of the Term Loan must be paid by January 5, 2024 . The Facility Agreement requires the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and any loans drawn pursuant to the Disbursement Option to be repaid in equal monthly cash amortization payments between the fourth and the sixth anniversary of the Agreement Date. The Term Loan and any loans drawn pursuant to the Disbursement Option are not permitted to be prepaid prior to January 6, 2021 , under the terms of the Facility Agreement and are subject to certain prepayment fees for prepayments occurring on or after such date. In addition, the Facility Agreement permits us to secure a revolving credit line of up to $20,000 from a different lender, subject to working capital balances. Deerfield holds a first lien on all our assets, including our intellectual property, except for working capital accounts, for which they hold a second lien while any revolving credit line with a different lender is in place. The Facility Agreement, while it is outstanding, limits our ability to raise debt financing in future periods outside of the $20.0 million revolver permitted thereunder, to sell any assets, enter into partnerships, enter into any other debt, enter into capital leases, or pay dividends. The Facility Agreement has a financial maintenance covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum cash balance of $25.0 million at all times, a requirement that we achieve product sales of at least $45.0 million during 2018 , and other normal covenants, including periodic financial reporting and a restriction on the payment of dividends. In connection with the Facility Agreement, we issued 3,127,846 shares of our common stock to Deerfield at a price of $13.50 on January 5, 2018 , pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement. We received proceeds of $42,226 from this issuance of common stock. We received total proceeds of $190,000 from the Term Loan and the issuance of common stock together. We used these proceeds to fund the IDB acquisition, to retire the $40,000 of principal balance outstanding under the 2017 Loan Agreement and to fund ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate expenses. As a result, we recognized a debt extinguishment loss of $2,595 , comprised of prepayment penalties and exit fees related to retiring the 2017 Loan Agreement totaling $2,150 and unamortized debt issuance costs of $445 . In connection with the Facility Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, we entered into the following freestanding instruments with Deerfield as a counterparty on January 5, 2018 : • Term Loan with stated principal of $147,774 with a 11.75% interest rate; • Disbursement Option for additional draw of up to $50,000 ; • 3,127,846 shares of our common stock; • Warrants to purchase 3,792,868 shares of our common stock with a purchase price of $16.50 and expiration date of January 5, 2025 (the “Warrants”); and • Rights to royalty payments equal to between 2% and 3% of certain U.S. sales of Vabomere for a period of 7 years, ending on December 31, 2024 , as further described below (the “Royalty Agreement”). For accounting purposes, because there are multiple freestanding instruments within the arrangement to which we are required to assign value under U.S. GAAP, we performed a valuation to determine the allocation of the gross proceeds of $190,000 to the five financial instruments listed above. We first calculated the fair value of the warrants, and then we allocated the remaining proceeds across the other four instruments using the relative fair value approach. The relative fair values of these financial instruments, which approximated their respective fair values as of the Agreement Date, were as follows: Term Loan $ 111,421 Warrants 33,264 Royalty Agreement 1,472 Disbursement Option (7,609 ) Common Stock Consideration 51,452 Total Consideration $ 190,000 The terms of these instruments and the methodology and assumptions used to value each of them are discussed below. Term Loan The relative fair value of the term loan was estimated to be $111,421 using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 inputs). We used a risk-adjusted discount rate of 19.8% . In connection with the Facility Agreement, we paid $6,455 of upfront term loan fees and legal debt issuance costs. For accounting purposes, we elected to allocate these upfront fees and costs all to the term loan, leaving a net carrying value of $104,966 . The upfront fees and costs were recorded as debt discount and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the loan. In addition, a 2% exit fee of $2,956 is payable as the loan principal payments are made. Therefore, total required future cash payments are $150,730 (term loan principal of $147,774 plus exit fee of $2,956 ). The exit fee cost is also being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the loan. The total cost of all items (cash-based interest payments, upfront fees and costs, and the 2% exit fee) is being expensed as interest expense using an effective interest rate of 21.4% . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded cash interest expense and term loan accretion expense of $4,389 and $12,974 , and $1,513 and $4,010 , respectively. All amounts were recorded as interest expense in our statement of operations. The accretion of the principal of the term loan and the future payments, including the 2% exit fee due at the end of the term, and excluding the 11.75% rate applied to the $147,774 note per the form of the Facility Agreement, are as follows: Beginning Balance Accretion of Interest Expense Principal Payments and Exit Fee Ending Balance January 5 - September 30, 2018 $ 104,966 $ 4,009 $ — $ 108,975 October 1 - December 31, 2018 108,975 1,599 — 110,574 Year Ending December 31, 2019 110,574 7,040 — 117,614 Year Ending December 31, 2020 117,614 8,637 — 126,251 Year Ending December 31, 2021 126,251 10,798 — 137,049 Year Ending December 31, 2022 137,049 9,826 (69,085 ) 77,790 Year Ending December 31, 2023 77,790 3,846 (75,365 ) 6,271 Year Ending December 31, 2024 6,271 9 (6,280 ) — Total $ 45,764 $ (150,730 ) Warrants Under the terms of the Facility Agreement, we issued Warrants to Deerfield to purchase 3,792,868 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $16.50 and a term of seven years. The holders of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants for cash, on a cashless basis or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under the Term Loan or any subsequent disbursements pursuant to the Disbursement Option. In connection with certain major transactions (as defined therein), the holders may have the option to convert the Warrants, in whole or in part, into the right to receive the transaction consideration payable upon consummation of such major transaction in respect of a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the Black-Scholes value of the Warrants, as defined therein, and in the case of other major transactions, the holders may have the right to exercise the Warrants, in whole or in part, for a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the Black-Scholes value of the Warrants. We used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the Warrants (Level 3 inputs), which resulted in a fair value of $33,264 on the Agreement Date. To measure the Warrants at January 5, 2018 , the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were: the price of the common stock on January 5, 2018 , an expected life of 6.3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.4% and an expected volatility of 50.0% . We classified the Warrants as a liability in our balance sheet and are required to remeasure the carrying value of these Warrants to fair value at each balance sheet date, with adjustments for changes in fair value recorded in Other income or expense in our statements of operations. To remeasure the Warrants at September 30, 2018 , the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were: the price of our common stock on September 30, 2018 , an expected life of 6.3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3% and an expected volatility of 50.0% . The fair value of the Warrants at September 30, 2018 , was $2,617 , resulting in a gain during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $4,172 and $30,646 , respectively. Royalty Agreement In connection with the Facility Agreement, we entered into a Royalty Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which we agreed to make royalty payments equal to 3% (or 2% , following the satisfaction of all our obligations under the Facility Agreement and other loan documents) of annual U.S. sales of Vabomere exceeding $75,000 ( $74,178 for 2018 ) and less than or equal to $500,000 for a seven-year period. To determine the fair value of the obligation under the Royalty Agreement, we applied a Monte Carlo simulation model to our revenue forecasts for Vabomere, which was discounted using an adjusted weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC incorporated our estimated senior unsecured discount rate, our expected tax rate, and our estimated cost of equity, and then was adjusted for operational leverage. On January 5, 2018 , we estimated the fair value of the royalty liability under the Royalty Agreement to be $1,472 . Over the seven-year term, we will accrete the royalty liability using an effective interest rate of 42.9% and reduce the liability for any royalty payments made to Deerfield. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded interest expense of $202 and $534 , respectively, increasing the liability to $2,006 at September 30, 2018 . At the end of each quarter, we are required to prospectively revise the rate of accretion if there are any significant changes in our long-term sales forecasts. As of September 30, 2018 , we did not identify any significant changes in our sales forecasts and, accordingly, did not revise the rate of accretion. Disbursement Option The Disbursement Option allows us to draw additional funds up to $50,000 once we achieve annual net product sales of at least $75,000 . The annual net sales target is measured by using the sales result for the preceding six months and multiplying by two. The disbursement must be drawn within two years from the effective date of the transaction and requires quarterly interest payments at a rate of 14.75% and requires the principal amount outstanding to be repaid in equal monthly cash amortization payments between the fourth and the sixth anniversary of the effective date of the agreement. We calculated the fair value of the Disbursement Option using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 inputs), under which estimated cash flows were discounted using a risk-adjusted rate that aligns with the lender’s estimated credit risk to disburse the $50.0 million . We estimated the relative fair value of the Disbursement Option to be $7,609 as of the effective date of the transaction, which we recorded as a long-term asset on our balance sheet to be carried at that value until settlement. Common Stock Consideration Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued 3,127,846 shares of our common stock to Deerfield at a price of $13.50 on January 5, 2018 . Based on our closing stock price on January 5, 2018 (Level 1input), of $16.45 , the fair value of this consideration was $51,452 , which was recorded as additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. |

Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following table lists our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and the level of the lowest significant inputs used to measure their fair value at September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 . The money market fund is included in cash & cash equivalents on the balance sheet; the other items are in the captioned line of the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market fund $ 42,677 $ — $ — $ 42,677 Total assets at fair value $ 42,677 $ — $ — $ 42,677 Liabilities: Royalty liability in deferred purchase price $ — $ — $ (1,152 ) $ (1,152 ) Royalty liability in contingent consideration — — (12,626 ) (12,626 ) Warrant liability — — (2,617 ) (2,617 ) Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ — $ (16,395 ) $ (16,395 ) As of December 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market fund $ 76,777 $ — $ — $ 76,777 Total assets at fair value $ 76,777 $ — $ — $ 76,777 The common stock warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 3 inputs). The significant inputs include the risk-free interest rate, remaining contractual term, and expected volatility. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement. An increase in the risk-free interest rate, and/or an increase in the remaining contractual term or expected volatility, would result in an increase in the fair value of the warrants. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 : Level 3 Liabilities Fair Value at December 31, 2017 Accretion Recorded in Interest Expense Change in Unrealized Gains (Losses) (Issuances) Settlements, Net Net Transfer (In) Out of Level 3 Fair Value at September 30, 2018 Royalty liability in deferred purchase price $ — $ (696 ) $ — $ (456 ) $ — $ (1,152 ) Royalty liability in contingent consideration — (3,648 ) — (8,978 ) — (12,626 ) Warrant liability — — 30,646 (33,263 ) — (2,617 ) Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ (4,344 ) $ 30,646 $ (42,697 ) $ — $ (16,395 ) |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Holders of our common stock are not entitled to receive dividends, unless declared by the board of directors. There have been no dividends declared to date. We have reserved and keep available out of our authorized but unissued common stock a sufficient number of shares of common stock to affect the conversion of all issued and outstanding warrants and stock options. On January 5, 2018 , we issued 3,313,702 shares of common stock to Medicines as part of the purchase price of IDB (see Note 11 for further discussion.). We also issued 3,127,846 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,792,868 shares of common stock to Deerfield as part of the Facility Agreement (see Note 4 for further discussion). In conjunction with the IDB transaction, we received $40,000 in additional equity financing from existing and new investors, in exchange for which we issued 2,884,961 shares of common stock. Further, in May 2018 , we issued 24,640,000 shares of common stock to new and existing investors in a follow-on public offering for proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $115,273 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we issued 39,600 shares of common stock for restricted stock units that vested in the period. Warrants We have warrants to purchase our common stock outstanding at September 30, 2018 , as follows: Issued Warrants Outstanding Exercise Price Expiration February 2012 42 $ 17,334.07 February 2022 December 2014 33,788 $ 33.30 December 2024 December 2015 6,757 $ 33.30 December 2024 January 2018 3,792,868 $ 16.50 January 2025 |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 2006 Stock Plan —Upon closing the merger with Cempra, Inc. (“Cempra”) on November 3, 2017 , Melinta assumed the 2006 Stock Plan, which had been adopted by Cempra in January 2006 (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan provided for the granting of incentive share options, nonqualified share options and restricted shares to Company employees, representatives and consultants. As of September 30, 2018 , there were options for an aggregate of 57,314 shares issued and outstanding under the 2006 Plan. During the period January 1, 2018 , to September 30, 2018 , 11,050 options were forfeited; there was no other activity during the period. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan —Upon closing the merger with Cempra on November 3, 2017 , Melinta assumed the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which had been adopted by Cempra in October 2011 (the “2011 Incentive Plan”). On January 1, 2018 , under the evergreen feature of the 2011 Incentive Plan, the authorized shares under the 2011 Incentive Plan increased by 879,957 to 2,619,447 . In April 2018 , we awarded 1,605,967 shares to employees with an exercise price of $7.45 and a grant date fair value of $5.41 . On June 12, 2018 , the shareholders approved the adoption of the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) (see below). With the adoption of the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (below), the 2011 Incentive Plan was frozen. At September 30, 2018 , there were 2,142,799 shares outstanding under the 2011 Incentive Plan and no shares available to award as either options or restricted stock units. Private Melinta 2011 Equity Incentive Plan —In November 2011, the Melinta board of directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“Melinta 2011 Plan”). The Melinta 2011 Plan provided for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified options, stock grants, and stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. On November 3, 2017, in conjunction with the merger with Cempra, all outstanding options under the Melinta 2011 Plan converted to 732,499 options to purchase common shares of Cempra (re-named Melinta in the merger), the Melinta 2011 Plan was frozen and authorized shares under the Melinta 2011 Plan were reduced to 732,499 . Any grants under the Melinta 2011 Plan that expire or are forfeited will reduce the authorized shares under the plan. As of September 30, 2018 , we had 577,908 shares of common stock reserved under the Melinta 2011 Plan for issuance upon exercise of stock options. Inducement Grants —On November 3, 2017, Melinta granted Daniel Wechsler, our President and Chief Executive Officer, an option to purchase 550,981 shares of common stock, at a strike price of $11.65 per share, and 183,661 restricted stock units, pursuant to the option and restricted stock unit inducement agreements made with Mr. Wechsler. Both grants were to vest over four years, 25% after one year and then ratably monthly over the remaining 36 months. In October 2018, our board of directors appointed John H. Johnson as Interim Chief Executive Officer to succeed Daniel Wechsler, who stepped down from his role as President, CEO and director to pursue other opportunities. In connection therewith, Mr. Wechsler will forfeit all of his inducement grant stock options and all but 45,915 of his restricted stock units, which will vest on December 31, 2018. On September 21, 2018, Melinta granted Peter Milligan, our recently appointed Chief Financial Officer, an option to purchase 370,000 shares of common stock, at a strike price of $4.50 per share, pursuant to the option inducement agreement made with Mr. Milligan. The grant will vest over four years, 25% after one year and then ratably monthly over the remaining 36 months . 2018 Stock Incentive Plan —On April 20, 2018, we granted stock options to purchase 865,267 shares of common stock under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan ("2018 Plan") at an exercise price of $7.45 and an average grant date fair value of $5.53 . The grants were subject to, and contingent upon, shareholder approval of the 2018 Plan at the annual meeting in June 2018. On June 12, 2018, the shareholders approved the 2018 Plan, which was initially authorized with 2,000,000 shares. Under the evergreen feature of the 2018 Plan, these authorized shares may be increased on January 1 of each year by the lesser of (i) 4% of the outstanding shares of the Company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The 2018 Plan replaces the 2011 Incentive Plan, and no further equity awards will be granted from the 2011 Incentive Plan, which has been frozen. Any shares that are undelivered as a result of outstanding awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan expiring or being canceled, forfeited or settled in cash without the delivery of the full number of shares to which the award related will become available for grant under the 2018 Plan. As of September 30, 2018 , there were 1,253,267 shares available for awards under the 2018 Plan. In connection with his appointment as interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Johnson received an option to purchase 150,000 common shares at a strike price of $2.80 and a grant of 50,000 restricted stock units. The options will vest ratably over 12 months , and the restricted stock units will vest after 12 months . Stock Option Activity —The exercise price of each stock option issued under all of the stock plans is specified by the board of directors at the time of grant but cannot be less than 100% of the fair value of the stock on the grant date. In addition, the vesting period is determined by the board of directors at the time of the grant and specified in the applicable option agreement. Our practice is to issue new shares upon the exercise of options, unless it is a cashless exercise. A summary of the combined activity under the 2006 Plan, 2011 Incentive Plan, the Melinta 2011 Plan, the inducement grants and the 2018 Plan is presented in the table below: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding - January 1, 2018 2,060,809 $ 33.63 Granted 3,264,034 $ 7.01 Exercised (203 ) $ 15.61 Forfeited (270,673 ) $ 15.75 Expired (163,498 ) $ 42.52 Outstanding - September 30, 2018 4,890,469 $ 16.56 8.3 $ — Exercisable - September 30, 2018 1,082,676 $ 44.88 3.8 $ — Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2018 4,890,469 $ 16.56 8.3 $ — During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , 35,600 restricted stock units vested and 19,600 restricted stock units were forfeited. There was no other restricted stock activity in the period. There were 245,461 restricted stock units outstanding under all the plans at September 30, 2018 . Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , was as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Cost of goods sold $ 22 $ 31 $ 39 $ 72 Research and development 231 146 608 375 Selling, general and administrative 1,324 372 3,394 1,181 Total $ 1,577 $ 549 $ 4,041 $ 1,628 Stock-based compensation expense for our manufacturing-related employees of $89 and $229 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , is capitalized in inventory as a component of overhead expense and recognized as cost of goods sold based on inventory turns. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , $0 and $218 of accelerated vesting expense related to employee terminations is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. No related tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation expense have been recognized and no related tax benefits have been realized from the exercise of stock options due to our net losses. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full calendar year and uses that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis before discrete items. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, the Company may make a reasonable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, including use of the actual effective rate for the year-to-date. The impact of the discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which they occur. The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes and deferred taxes which are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized through the generation of future taxable income. In making this determination, the Company assessed all of the evidence available at the time including recent earnings, forecasted income projections, and historical financial performance. The Company has fully reserved deferred tax assets as a result of this assessment. Based on the Company’s full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets, the Company’s effective tax rate for the calendar year is zero , and zero income tax expense was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . On November 3, 2017, we completed our tax-free merger with Cempra. To reflect the opening balance sheet deferred tax assets and liabilities of Cempra, we recorded a net deferred tax asset of $107,688 offset with a valuation allowance of $107,688 . Under ASC 805, Business Combinations , we are required to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period as they are identified, and to recognize such adjustments retrospectively, as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the acquisition date. We will adjust the net deferred tax assets and valuation allowance during the remeasurement period, including any unrecognized tax positions. See Note 11 for further information regarding the merger. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but not limited to, a corporate tax decrease from 34% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 , limitation of the business interest deduction, modification of the net operating loss deduction, reduction of the business tax credit for qualified clinical testing expenses for certain drugs for rare diseases or conditions, and acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes . In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statement. We have calculated our best estimate of the impact of the Act in our 2017 income tax provision in accordance with our understanding of the Act and guidance available, and, as a result, as of December 31, 2017 , have recorded $44,438 as an additional income tax expense offset with $44,438 tax benefit from the change in the valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2017 , the period in which the legislation was enacted. The adjustments to deferred tax assets and liability are provisional amounts estimated based on information available as of December 31, 2017 . We have not updated our estimates as of September 30, 2018 , nor have we recorded any additional income tax expense or valuation allowance based on our net loss for the period. As we collect and prepare necessary data and interpret the Act—and any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and other standard-setting bodies—we may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. As additional information becomes available, we will recognize any changes to the provisional amounts as we refine our estimates of our cumulative temporary differences related to Cempra’s opening balance sheet from the merger, in accordance with ASC 805. |
Net Loss Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss attributable to common shareholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Prior to the merger with Cempra, during periods when we earned net income, we would allocate to participating securities a proportional share of net income determined by dividing total weighted-average participating securities by the sum of the total weighted-average common shares and participating securities (the “two-class method”). Historically, our preferred stock participated in any dividends declared by us and were therefore considered to be participating securities. Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of income. During periods where we incur net losses, we allocate no loss to participating securities because they have no contractual obligation to share in our losses. We compute diluted loss per common share after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants that are outstanding during the period, except where such nonparticipating securities would be antidilutive. Because we have reported net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. The weighted-average shares outstanding, reported loss per share and potential dilutive common share equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect historical weighted-average number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger with Cempra. The following potentially dilutive securities (in common stock equivalent shares) have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to losses reported: Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Warrants outstanding 3,833,455 31,702 Stock options outstanding 4,890,469 564,698 Restricted stock units outstanding 245,461 — Convertible preferred stock outstanding — 5,800,922 8,969,385 6,397,322 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As discussed in Note 11, on November 3, 2017, Melinta merged with Cempra, Inc. in a business combination. Prior to the merger, on November 4, 2016 , a securities class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court, Middle District of North Carolina, Durham Division , naming Cempra, Inc. (now known as Melinta Therapeutics, Inc.) (for purposes of this Contingencies section, “Cempra”) and certain of Cempra’s officers as defendants. Two substantially similar lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of North Carolina on November 22, 2016, and December 30, 2016 , respectively. Pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, on July 6, 2017, the court consolidated the three lawsuits into a single action and appointed a lead plaintiff and co-lead counsel in the consolidated case. On August 16, 2017, the plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiff alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements made by the defendants between July 7, 2015, and November 4, 2016 (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff sought to represent a class comprised of purchasers of Cempra’s common stock during the Class Period and sought damages, costs and expenses and such other relief as determined by the court. On September 29, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. After the motion to dismiss was fully briefed, the court heard oral arguments on July 24, 2018. On October 26, 2018, the court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss and dismissed plaintiff's consolidated amended complaint in its entirety. It is possible that plaintiff may appeal or otherwise seek to reinstate the lawsuit or that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants, in which case Defendants intend to defend any such lawsuits vigorously. On December 21, 2016 , a shareholder derivative lawsuit was commenced in the North Carolina Durham County Superior Court , naming certain of Cempra’s former and current officers and directors as defendants and Cempra as a nominal defendant, and asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste (the “December 2016 Action”). A substantially similar lawsuit was filed in the North Carolina Durham County Superior Court on February 16, 2017 (the “February 2017 Action”). The complaints are based on similar allegations as asserted in the securities lawsuits described above, and seek unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees. Both cases were served and transferred to the North Carolina Business Court as mandatory complex business cases. The Business Court consolidated the February 2017 Action into the December 2016 Action and appointed counsel for the plaintiff in the December 2016 Action as lead counsel. On July 6, 2017, the court stayed the action pending resolution of the putative securities action. That stay has since been lifted. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 29, 2017, and was required to file a further amended complaint by February 6, 2018. On February 6, 2018, the plaintiff filed his second amended complaint. On March 8, 2018, defendants filed their motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, stay plaintiff’s second amended complaint. On April 9, 2018, plaintiff filed his opposition to defendants’ motion. Defendants’ filed their reply on April 26, 2018. On June 27, 2018, the parties filed a joint stipulation and consent order to stay the case until (1) 30 days after a final order dismissing the November 4, 2016 consolidated federal securities action pending in the United States District Court, Middle District of North Carolina, Durham Division with prejudice is entered; or (2)the parties file a joint stipulation to terminate the stay in the event that a plaintiff in a subsequently filed derivative action makes similar allegations and does not agree to stay the proceedings on substantially the same terms. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. On January 3, 2018, the plaintiff who commenced the February 2017 Action, which was subsequently consolidated into the December 2016 Action, transmitted to the former Acting Chief Executive Officer of Cempra a litigation demand (the “Demand”). The Demand requested that Cempra’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) “commence an independent investigation into the matters raised” in the complaint filed in the February 2017 Action and the Demand, “take any and all appropriate steps for Cempra to recover, through litigation if necessary, the damages proximately caused by the directors' and officers' alleged breaches of fiduciary duty,” and “implement corporate governance enhancements to prevent recurrence of the alleged wrongdoing.” The Board has not yet formally responded to the Demand. On July 31, 2017 , a shareholder derivative lawsuit was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware , naming certain of Cempra’s former and current officers and directors as defendants and Cempra as nominal defendant, and asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste. The complaint is based on similar allegations as asserted in the putative securities class action described above, and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees. On October 23, 2017 , the defendants filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, stay, the complaint, which was supported by an opening brief filed on November 9, 2017. On January 8, 2018, the plaintiff filed his answering brief in opposition to the defendants’ motion. The defendants filed their reply in support of their motion on February 7, 2018. On June 18, 2018, the parties filed a joint letter (1) indicating they have agreed to stay the case until the pending motion to dismiss in the November 4, 2016 consolidated federal securities action pending in the United States District Court, Middle District of North Carolina, Durham Division is decided; and (2) requesting that the June 22, 2018 oral argument scheduled for defendants’ motion to dismiss be canceled. On June 27, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order to stay the case until (1) 30 days after a final order dismissing the November 4, 2016, consolidated federal securities action pending in the United States District Court, Middle District of North Carolina, Durham Division with prejudice is entered; or (2)the parties file a joint stipulation to terminate the stay in the event that a plaintiff in a subsequently filed derivative action makes similar allegations and does not agree to stay the proceedings on substantially the same terms. On June 28, 2018, the court granted the proposed order and stayed the case on such terms. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. On September 15, 2017 , a shareholder derivative lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Durham Division , naming certain of Cempra’s former and current officers and directors as defendants and Cempra as nominal defendant, and asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, corporate waste, and violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint is based on similar allegations as asserted in the putative securities class action described above and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees. On December 1, 2017, the parties filed a joint motion seeking to stay the shareholder derivative lawsuit pending resolution of the putative securities class action, which stipulation was ordered by the court on December 11, 2017. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. In November 2017, as part of the merger with Cempra, we identified a long-term contract with Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Toyama”) that was in a loss position as of the merger date and, based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis, determined the fair value of the liability to be $5,330 , which we recorded as a long-term liability. The loss related to the expected cash flows to support the requirement to supply Toyama with solithromycin active drug ingredient ("API") in its licensed territory. On September 26, 2018, Cempra Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CPI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Melinta and Toyama entered into the following agreements related to the development of solithromycin : (i) Amendment No. 2 to the Exclusive License and Development Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2013 and amended as of September 26, 2013, by and between CPI and Toyama, (ii) Amendment to the Quality Agreement effective as of February 1, 2017 by and among CPI, Fujifilm Finechemicals Co., Ltd. (“FFFC,” now known as Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation (“FFWK”), and Toyama, and (iii) Agreement to Assign the API Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, entered into as of December 16, 2015 by and between CPI and FFFC. In addition, the parties terminated the Supply Agreement between CPI and Toyama dated May 8, 2013, which related to supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredient used in the manufacture of solithromycin (“API”) and clinical supply. These agreements are referred to collectively as the "Amended Toyama Arrangement." Under the terms of the Amended Toyama Arrangement, CPI is legally relieved of all obligations related to the supply of API or clinical supply to Toyama, which resulted in the extinguishment of the $5,330 long-term liability, representing the fair value of the loss contract upon our merger with Cempra in November 2017. We recognized this gain in other income in the statement of operations. In consideration for this relief, Cempra granted Toyama the right to manufacture and procure such API and clinical supply, and forfeited rights to all future milestone payments related to Toyama’s development of solithromycin in Japan. In addition, Melinta will be entitled to receive royalties on sales of solithromycin by Toyama if and when the product receives regulatory approval in Japan, at a rate generally between 4% and 6% of net sales. The amended terms have been treated as a contract modification, and under the sales- or usage- based royalty exception in Topic 606, we do not estimate variable consideration from future royalties. As such, we will not recognize royalty revenue under this arrangement until the future sales occur and royalties are earned. On October 22, 2018, the Company received a litigation demand on behalf of putative Cempra shareholder Dr. Alan Cauldwell (the “Demand”), purporting to reinstate Dr. Cauldwell’s previous demand, dated as of January 3, 2018, held in abeyance after further discussion and negotiation with the Company. The Demand appears premised on the same factual allegations as the shareholder derivative lawsuits previously filed against the Company, as detailed above, and requests, in part, that Cempra’s board of directors commence an investigation of the misconduct alleged therein. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to Dr. Cauldwell’s claims, and we intend to defend any litigation relating to the Demand vigorously. In October 2018, Eurofarma Laboratorios S.A. ("Eurofarma"), which is licensed to distribute Baxdela in all of Central and South America, received approval to sell Baxdela in Argentina, and, accordingly, owes us a milestone payment of $0.5 million . The approval also triggers a milestone payment we are required to make to Wakunaga of $1.4 million . Both milestone payments will be made in the fourth quarter of 2018. Other than as described above, we are not a party to any legal proceedings and we are not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened against us. In the future, we might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business. |

Business Combinations | BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Acquisition of the Infectious Disease Business On January 5, 2018 , we completed the acquisition of the IDB, in which we acquired a group of antibiotic drug products and certain other assets from Medicines, including 100% of the capital stock of certain subsidiaries and the pharmaceutical products containing (i) meropenem and vaborbactam as the active pharmaceutical ingredient and distributed under the brand name Vabomere, (ii) oritavancin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient and distributed under the brand name Orbactiv and (iii) minocycline as the active pharmaceutical ingredient and distributed under the brand name Minocin for injection and line extensions of such products. The integration of the acquired products within our existing portfolio further strengthens our ability to serve the needs of providers treating patients with serious bacterial infections across the healthcare delivery continuum. In addition to the products acquired in the IDB transaction, we added approximately 135 individuals from Medicines to our team. The new team members bring with them significant experience specific to infectious diseases and better position us to effectively execute our commercial and other activities. The acquisition was financed using borrowings under the Facility Agreement and additional equity financing from existing and new investors. See Note 4 for further information regarding these financing arrangements. Expenses related to legal and other services in connection with the IDB acquisition were $172 and $2,238 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. There were no expenses related to the IDB acquisition in the equivalent 2017 periods. The expenses incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , included $1,260 related to certain transition services that Medicines agreed to provide to us to facilitate transition and integration of the IDB. The transition services included the temporary provision of facilities and equipment for newly hired personnel, assistance with finance functions and support in connection with the transition of the supply, sale and distribution of the products to our third-party logistics provider. The transition services have been substantially completed as of September 30, 2018 . The consideration paid to Medicines consisted of a cash payment of $166,383 and 3,313,702 shares of our common stock, which was calculated by dividing $50,000 by $15.08886 , representing 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the trailing 10 trading day period ending three trading days prior to the closing date. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the IDB purchase agreement, we are required to make two additional payments of $25,000 on each of the twelve and eighteen-month anniversaries of the closing date (January and July 2019, respectively), and we will pay royalties to Medicines on certain net sales of the acquired antibiotic products. The purchase price, including non-cash consideration, for the acquisition of IDB is as follows (except for cash, these items have been treated as non-cash investing activity in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows): • Cash of $166,383 , including a net working capital adjustment of $1,383 ; • Common stock of $54,510 ; • Deferred consideration of $38,541 , representing the present value of two payments of $25,000 each due in January and July 2019; and • Contingent consideration of $10,562 , representing the fair value of sales-based royalty payments. We recorded the contingent consideration related to the sales-based royalty payments at fair value, and we are accreting the amount to the estimated aggregate amounts payable to Medicines, $347,000 , based on an effective interest of rate of 49% , which is in line with the effective interest rate, 43% , used to accrete the royalty liability associated with the Facility Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded $1,613 and $4,344 , respectively, of non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the fair value of sales-based royalty payments. As of September 30, 2018 , $1,128 of the royalty liability is currently due and has been reclassified out of current deferred purchase price and recorded as a credit offset to receivables due from Medicines. At September 30, 2018 , the carrying values of the short-term and long-term liabilities were $1,152 and $12,626 , respectively. We are currently in the process of finalizing the valuation of the significant acquired intangible assets, deferred and contingent purchase consideration and related deferred tax liabilities, which will be completed in 2018 . The goodwill resulting from the acquisition largely consists of the estimated value of IDB’s assembled and trained workforce, our expected future product sales, synergies resulting from combining IDB products with our existing product offering and IDB’s going concern value. The following table sets forth our initial estimate of the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date, which was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2018, and our current estimate, reflecting adjustments recorded in the subsequent six months ended September 30, 2018 . The changes in certain values are because we refined our estimates supporting those values, principally the value and timing of future sales and gross margins and the fair value of the acquired inventory. March 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Current assets $ 28,299 $ 33,726 Goodwill 13,059 17,757 Intangible assets 258,000 242,441 Non-current assets 12,278 12,140 Current liabilities (37,000 ) (35,492 ) Non-current liabilities (576 ) (576 ) Total purchase price $ 274,060 $ 269,996 We believe that the historical values of IDB’s current assets and current liabilities (except for certain inventory items, which we stepped up in value) approximate their fair values based on the short-term nature of such items. The current liabilities include a contingent liability of $24,485 , representing the probability-weighted present value of a $30,000 milestone payment payable third parties upon the approval of Vabomere in Europe. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded $1,447 and $4,015 of non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of this contingent payment. The accretion is based on an effective interest rate of 20.9% which is consistent with the interest rate associated with the Facility Agreement. We updated our IDB purchase accounting in the second quarter of 2018 , which affected the fair value of inventory, intangible assets and the total purchase price, resulting in a change in estimate for intangible asset amortization, the amortization of the inventory basis step up and non-cash interest expense. Updates to the IDB purchase accounting in the third quarter of 2018 were immaterial. The year to date changes in the estimated purchase price accounting allocations and amounts resulted in a net increase to cost of goods sold of $0 and $2,674 (amortization of the inventory step-up value, partially offset by reduced intangible amortization), and a net reduction of year-to-date non-cash interest expense of $0 and $293 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. We recorded the two , $25,000 deferred payments to Medicines at fair value, and we are accreting them to $50,000 based on an effective interest rate of 21.1% . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded $2,311 and $6,409 of non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of these deferred payments. At September 30, 2018 , the carrying value of the short-term deferred payments was $44,951 . The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the date of the acquisition: Average useful life Fair value Developed product rights 13 to 17 years $ 222,582 In-process research and development Indefinite 19,859 Total intangible assets $ 242,441 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we recorded $4,050 and $11,873 of amortization expense related to the developed product rights. At September 30, 2018 , the carrying value of the developed product rights was $210,709 . For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , IDB added $9,537 and $27,359 of revenue and $(6) and $1,949 of grant income, respectively, to our unaudited consolidated results. It is impracticable to measure the effect IDB had on our net loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 , because IDB has been integrated into our existing operations and is not accounted for separately. Since the date of the acquisition, IDB’s results are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Merger with Cempra Cempra’s results have been reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of our merger with them on November 3, 2017. As a result, Cempra's operations contributed $429 and $3,231 of grant income to our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . We incurred $1,284 and $1,605 of acquisition-related expense (excluding severance) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the merger with Cempra. We also incurred an additional $0 and $217 of acquisition-related expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , related to the Cempra merger. Pro Forma Financial Information The following table provides supplemental pro forma information as if the acquisition of IDB and the Cempra merger took place at the beginning of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Pro forma revenue $ 12,193 $ 53,268 Pro forma net loss $ (67,394 ) $ (197,151 ) The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results reflect the historical financial information of Melinta, Medicine’s IDB and Cempra, adjusted to give effect to the IDB acquisition and the Cempra merger as if it had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily for the following adjustments: • Effects of Topic 606. • Additional interest expense and accretion related to the financing of the business combinations. • Additional accretion expense related to the IDB acquisition. • Additional accretion on deferred and contingent payments and additional amortization of intangible assets recognized as part of the business combinations. • The fair value gain on the warrant liability (using the $4,172 and $30,646 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively). • Elimination of historical nonrecurring transaction costs related to the business combinations. • Elimination of the tax valuation allowance reversals recorded by IDB. In addition, excluded from the supplemental pro forma information was $1,930 and $10,216 of nonrecurring IDB acquisition costs (debt extinguishment costs, inventory fair value step-up amortization, and transaction and severance costs) recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Severance and Exit Costs | SEVERANCE AND EXIT COSTS In connection with the merger with Cempra, several employees were terminated under established individual employment plans and a corporate-wide severance plan. The legacy Cempra entity had put in place a severance plan that provided severance benefits to employees who, in connection with a change-in-control event, either were terminated or resigned due to having a diminished role going forward with the combined company. Most of the affected employees were notified that they would be terminated in connection with the change-in-control event in advance of the merger, and the Company recognized the associated severance costs when the liability became probable, which was after the merger closed. The postemployment benefits for the individuals include continued salary and benefits for a period of time determined by historical length of service to, and role with, the Company (up to six months for non-executives, 18 months for executives, and 24 months for the CEO), outplacement services and contractual or prorated bonuses. While all the affected employees were notified before or immediately after the merger, some of the termination dates were extended into 2018 . In addition to the severance costs incurred in connection with the Cempra merger, the Company incurs additional severance costs as part of its on-going operations. A summary of merger and non-merger activity in our severance accrual (included in accrued expenses or long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets) is below. Balance - December 31, 2017 $ 6,721 Additional severance accruals (recorded in SG&A) 3,410 Bonus to be paid as severance 223 Severance payments (6,844 ) Balance - September 30, 2018 $ 3,510 On September 30, 2018 , $3,385 was included in accrued expenses and $125 was included in long-term liabilities. We also recognized $0 and $218 of additional stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of equity awards for terminated employees under ASC 718 as severance expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . In the second quarter of 2018 , we vacated a significant portion of our office facilities in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As a consequence, we recorded an estimated lease exit liability of $556 . The lease exit liability was determined by computing the fair value of the remaining lease payments, net of any projected sub-lease rentals. A summary of activity in our lease liability is below. Balance - December 31, 2017 $ — Fair value of lease liability recognized 556 Less: payments (234 ) Balance - September 30, 2018 $ 322 In October 2018, our Board of Directors appointed John H. Johnson as Interim Chief Executive Officer to succeed Daniel Wechsler, who stepped down from his role as President, CEO and director to pursue other opportunities. In connection with Mr. Wechsler's termination from the Company, we expect to record severance-related expenses of approximately $1,432 , which will be paid over 18 months. He will also receive a pro-rata bonus for 2018, to be paid in the first quarter of 2019. In November 2018, the Board of Directors approved a plan to reduce our operating expenses, principally through an approximately 20% reduction in headcount. We expect to record a charge of between $6,000 and $7,000 for post-employment benefit costs, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2018. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of Melinta and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates —The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Trade and Other Receivables | Trade and Other Receivables —Trade receivables consist of amounts billed for product shipments. Receivables for product shipments are recorded as shipments are made and title to the product is transferred to the customer. Other receivables consist of amounts billed, and amounts earned but unbilled, under our licensing agreements and our contracts with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“BARDA”). Receivables for license agreements are recorded as we achieve the requirements of the agreements, and receivables under the BARDA contracts are recorded as qualifying research activities are conducted and invoices from our vendors are paid. Unbilled receivables are also recorded based upon work estimated to have been completed for which we have not paid vendor invoices. We carry our receivables net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our receivables for collectability. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts as we believe all receivables are fully collectible. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk —Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to cash and cash equivalents and receivables. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with federally insured financial institutions, and at times, the amounts may exceed the federally insured deposit limits. To date, we have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which deposits are held. |
Inventory | Inventory —Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Inventory is valued on a first-in, first-out basis and consists primarily of third-party manufacturing costs, overhead—principally the cost of managing our manufacturers—and related transportation costs. We capitalize inventory upon regulatory approval when, based on our judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed. We review inventories on hand at least quarterly and record provisions for estimated excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory, as well as inventory with a carrying value in excess of net realizable value. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximated their fair values at September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 . |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs —Debt issuance costs represent legal and other direct costs incurred in connection with our notes payable. These costs were recorded as debt issuance costs in the balance sheets and amortized as a non-cash component of interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes payable. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets —Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets with a definite life. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. If impairment indicators are present, we assess whether the future estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question are greater than their carrying amounts. If these future estimated cash flows are less than carrying value, we then measure an impairment loss for the amount that carrying value exceeds fair value of the assets. We have not recorded any significant impairment charges to date with respect to our long-lived assets; however, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded expense of $381 related to assets we disposed that we had previously purchased as part of a project to develop additional production capacity, which we decided to terminate in the quarter. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets —Intangible assets consist of capitalized milestone payments for the licenses we use to make our products and the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, including in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), acquired in the IDB transaction. Given the uncertainty of forecasts of future revenue for our products, we amortize the cost of intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of each asset, generally the exclusivity period of each associated product. Amortization for IPR&D does not begin until the associated product has received approval and sales have commenced, at which time the IPR&D is reclassified to intangible assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived assets, including IPR&D, are not amortized, but are subject to an impairment review annually and more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of goodwill could occur if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded the fair value of that reporting unit. An impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value. The Company tests its goodwill, IPR&D and indefinite-lived assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset under review is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is performed. For its quantitative impairment tests, the Company uses both an income and market approach. The income approach involves an estimate of future cash flows based on internal projection models, industry projections and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management. The market approach utilizes analysis of recent sales, offerings, and financial multiples of comparable businesses. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of the assets and potentially result in different impacts to the Company's results of operations. Actual results may differ from the company's estimates. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition —On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) , and all related amendments. For further information regarding the adoption of Topic 606, see the “Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” section of this Note 2. Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this new revenue recognition guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines the following five-step process to achieve this core principle, and in doing so, it is possible that significant judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process. 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance only applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including the consideration of whether it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations; the assessment includes the evaluation of whether each promised good or service is distinct within the context of the contract. Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue separately for performance obligations that are “distinct.” Performance obligations are considered to be distinct if (a) the customer can benefit from the license or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) our promise to transfer the license or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If a license or service is not individually distinct, we combine the license or service with other promised licenses and/or services until we identify a bundle of licenses and/or services that together are distinct. We recognize, as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. In determining the transaction price, we consider all forms of variable consideration, which can take various forms, including, but not limited to, prompt-pay discounts, rebates, credits, and milestone payments. We estimate variable consideration using either the “expected value” or “most likely amount” method, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled. The expected value method is a probability-weighted approach that considers all possible outcomes while the most likely approach uses the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes. We apply a variable consideration constraint to the estimated transaction price if we conclude that it is probable that there is a risk of significant reversal of revenue once the uncertainty related to the variable consideration is resolved. Under the guidance of Topic 606, we recognize revenue for each performance obligation when the customer obtains control of the product and we have satisfied each of our respective obligations. Control is defined as the ability of the customer to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits of the asset. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 , we do not have any contract assets or liabilities and our contracts do not have any significant financing components. And, we have not capitalized contract origination costs. Licensing Arrangements We enter into license and collaboration agreements for the research and development and/or commercialization of therapeutic products. The terms of these agreements may include nonrefundable licensing fees, funding for research, development and manufacturing, milestone payments and royalties on any product sales derived from the collaborations in exchange for the delivery of licenses and rights to sell our products within specified territories outside the United States. In the determination of whether our license and collaboration agreements are accounted for under Topic 606 or Accounting Standards Classification (“ASC”) 808, Contract Accounting , we first assess whether or not the partner in the arrangement is a customer. If the partner in the arrangement is deemed a customer as it relates to some or all of our performance obligations, then the consideration associated with those performance obligations is accounted for as revenue under Topic 606. Our license agreements may include contingent or variable consideration based upon the achievement of regulatory- and sales-based milestones and future royalties based on a percentage of the partner’s net product sales. Performance obligations to deliver distinct licenses are recognized at a point in time. Milestone payments from licensees that are contingent and/or variable upon future regulatory events and product sales are not considered probable of being achieved until the milestones are earned and, therefore, the contingent revenue is subject to significant risk of reversal. As such, we constrain this variable consideration and do not include it in the transaction price (or recognize the revenue related to these milestones) until such time that the contingencies are resolved and generally recognized at a point in time. In addition, under the sales- or usage- based royalty exception in Topic 606, we do not estimate, at the onset of the arrangement, the variable consideration from future royalties or sales-based milestones. Instead, we wait to recognize royalty revenue until the future sales occur. In September 2018, we entered into a license agreement with Menarini, which grants to Menarini the exclusive right to market Vabomere, Orbactiv and Minocin in 68 countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The agreement includes an upfront license fee of €17,000 (which we received in October 2018), a milestone payment of €15,000 upon European marketing approval for Vabomere (for which we expect a decision by the end of 2018), potential regulatory- and sales-based milestones, and sales-based royalties. We determined that Menarini is a customer and we should account for the agreement under Topic 606. We identified one performance obligation under the agreement, the delivery of the licensed rights. In addition, we agreed to supply the products to Menarini at a cost that we concluded did not incorporate a significant incremental discount. We provided Menarini immediate access to the licensed rights and, as such, we allocated the upfront payment entirely to the license and recognized revenue at the point in time when the licensed rights were delivered, in September 2018. We will recognize any future contingent consideration, including milestone payments or royalty revenue, at such time when the milestones or royalties have been achieved. Adoption of Topic 606 We adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not complete as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with legacy U.S. GAAP under ASC 605. In our adoption of Topic 606, we did not use practical expedients. In addition, we have considered the nature, amount and timing of our different revenue sources. Accordingly, the disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers is reflected in different captions within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For our Eurofarma distribution arrangements under which revenue was previously deferred, revenue is now recognized at the point in time when the license is granted and has benefit to Eurofarma. These deferred revenues were originally expected to be recognized in future periods over the period of time over which we supplied Baxdela under the supply arrangement, which could have lasted up to 10 years or longer. The cumulative effect of the adoption was recognized as a decrease to opening accumulated deficit and a decrease to deferred revenue of $10,008 on January 1, 2018. The effect of the adoption of Topic 606 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2017 Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Balance at January 1, 2018 Liabilities: Deferred revenue $ 10,008 $ (10,008 ) $ — Shareholders’ equity: Accumulated deficit $ (572,659 ) $ 10,008 $ (562,651 ) In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, we no longer recognize grant income as revenue (see Grant Income discussion below), but there was no change to the timing of historical recognition. Also, there was no change to the timing of recognition of contract revenue under our licensing agreements. However, unlike Topic 606, we believe that ASC 605 would have precluded revenue recognition for the recent launches of Baxdela and Vabomere™ for the initial stocking of product at wholesalers that had not sold through as of the end of the reporting period. As such, the following reflects what we believe our condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statement of operations would have been under ASC 605 compared to the recognition of revenue under Topic 606 as of, and for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2018 : Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenue Recognized Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Pro Forma Balance Under ASC 605 Revenue: Product sales, net $ 11,028 $ 920 $ 11,948 Cost of goods sold $ 13,393 $ 348 $ 13,741 Net loss $ (27,860 ) $ 572 $ (27,288 ) Net loss per share $ (0.50 ) $ (0.49 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenue Recognized Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Pro Forma Balance Under ASC 605 Revenue: Product sales, net $ 32,026 $ (1,740 ) $ 30,286 Cost of goods sold $ 32,068 $ (1,100 ) $ 30,968 Net loss $ (113,072 ) $ (640 ) $ (113,712 ) Net loss per share $ (2.66 ) $ (2.68 ) Balance at September 30, 2018 Adjustments Due to Topic 606 Pro Forma Balance Under ASC 605 Assets: Prepaid and other current assets $ 6,343 $ 1,100 $ 7,443 Liabilities: Deferred revenue $ — $ 10,008 $ 10,008 Shareholders' equity: Accumulated deficit $ (675,723 ) $ (640 ) $ (676,363 ) The table above does not reflect the reclassification of Grant income from Other income to Revenue under ASC 605. The reclassification would have no effect on net loss per share. We have no outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2018 , related to our licensing arrangements. Although we have agreements in place to supply Baxdela to our partners once they achieve regulatory approval in their respective territories, we concluded that the option to purchase Baxdela from us is not a material right because the product will not be priced at a significant discount. All performance obligations under our licensing arrangements were satisfied historically at a point in time. Variable consideration in the form of regulatory and sales-based milestones, which are payable under the terms of our licensing arrangements, has been constrained because of the risk of significant revenue reversal as in our revenue recognition policy included in this Note 2. Further, we recognize contract research revenue from Menarini as we incur the reimbursable development costs. We expect to continue these development efforts through early 2019 , although we expect the related revenue to decline through that time frame, as the associated development effort winds down. Product Sales Historically, substantially all our revenue was related to licensing and contract research arrangements related to our Baxdela product, and we did not sell any products. Beginning in January 2018 , as a result of both the acquisition of IDB and the launch of Baxdela, we now distribute Baxdela, Vabomere, Orbactiv ® , and Minocin ® products commercially in the United States. While we sell some of our products directly to certain hospitals and clinics, the majority of our product sales are made to wholesale customers who subsequently resell our products to hospitals or certain medical centers, as well as specialty pharmacy providers and other retail pharmacies. The wholesaler places orders with us for sufficient quantities of our products to maintain an appropriate level of inventory based on their customers’ historical purchase volumes and demand. We recognize revenue once we have transferred physical possession of the goods and the wholesaler obtains legal title to the product and accepts responsibility for all credit and collection activities with the resale customer. In addition, we enter into arrangements with health care providers that purchase our products from wholesalers—as well as payers and certain other customers—that provide for government mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products. The transaction price that we recognize as revenue reflects the amount we expect to be entitled to in connection with the sale and transfer of control of product to our customers. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. At the time that our customers take control of the product, which is when our performance obligation under the sales contracts is complete, we record product revenues net of applicable reserves for various types of variable consideration, most of which are subject to constraint, while also considering the likelihood and the magnitude of any revenue reversal, based on our estimates of channel mix. The types of variable consideration in our product revenue are as follows: • Prompt pay discounts • Product returns • Chargebacks and rebates • Fee-for-service • Government rebates • Commercial payer and other rebates • Group purchasing organization (“GPO”) administration fees • MelintAssist voluntary patient assistance programs In determining the amounts of certain allowances and accruals, we must make significant judgments and estimates. For example, in determining these amounts, we estimate hospital demand, buying patterns by hospitals, hospital systems and/or group purchasing organizations from wholesalers and the levels of inventory held by wholesalers and customers. Making these determinations involves analyzing third party industry data to determine whether trends in historical channel distribution patterns will predict future product sales. We receive data periodically from our wholesale customers on inventory levels and historical channel sales mix, and we consider this data when determining the amount of the allowances and accruals for variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration is estimated by using either of the following methods, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which we are entitled: a) The “expected value” is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Under Topic 606, an expected value may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if we have many contracts with similar characteristics. b) The “most likely amount” is the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts (i.e., the single most likely outcome of the contract). Under Topic 606, the most likely amount may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has only two possible outcomes (i.e., either achieve or don’t achieve a threshold specified in a contract). The method selected is applied consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on an amount of variable consideration. In addition, we consider all the information (historical, current, and forecasts) that is reasonably available to us and shall identify a reasonable number of possible consideration amounts. The relevant factors used in this determination include, but are not limited to, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. In assessing whether a constraint is necessary, we consider both the likelihood and the magnitude of the revenue reversal. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. The specific considerations we use in estimating these amounts related to variable consideration associated with our products are as follows: Prompt Pay Discounts – We provide wholesale customers with certain discounts if the wholesaler pays within the payment term, which is generally between 30 and 60 days. The discount percentage is reserved as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Product returns – Generally, our customers have the right to return any unopened product during the 18-month period beginning six months prior to the labeled expiration date and ending 12 months after the labeled expiration date. Where historical rates of return exist, we use history as a basis to establish a returns reserve for product shipped to wholesalers. For our newly launched products, for which we currently do not have history of product returns, we estimate returns based on third-party industry data for comparable products in the market. As we distribute our products and establish historical sales over a longer period of time (i.e., two years), we will be able to place more reliance on historical purchasing and return patterns of our customers when evaluating our reserves for product return. At the end of each reporting period for any of our products, we may decide to constrain revenue for product returns based on information from various sources, including channel inventory levels and dating and sell-through data, the expiration dates of product currently being shipped, price changes of competitive products and introductions of generic products. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we increased our returns reserve by $0.5 million and $0.8 million , respectively, due to risk factors that were present in connection with the initial stocking of inventory for the launch of our new products. Chargebacks – Although we primarily sell products to wholesalers in the United States, we typically enter into agreements with medical centers, either directly or through GPOs acting on behalf of their hospital members, in connection with the hospitals’ purchases of products. Based on these agreements, most of our hospital customers have the right to receive a discounted price for products and volume-based rebates on product purchases. In the case of discounted pricing, we typically provide a credit to our wholesale customers (i.e., chargeback), representing the difference between the customer’s acquisition list price and the discounted price. Fees-for-service – We offer discounts and pay certain wholesalers service fees for sales order management, data, and distribution services which are explicitly stated at contractually determined rates in the customer’s contracts. In assessing if the consideration paid to the customer should be recorded as a reduction of the transaction price, we determine whether the payment is for a distinct good or service or a combination of both. Since our wholesaler fees are not specifically identifiable, we do not consider the fees separate from the wholesaler's purchase of the product. Additionally, wholesaler services generally cannot be provided by a third party. Because of these factors, the consideration paid is considered a reduction of revenue. We estimate our fee-for-service accruals and allowances based on historical sales, wholesaler and distributor inventory levels and the applicable discount rate. Government Rebates – We participate in three rebate programs under various government programs: Medicaid, TRICARE and Medicare Part D. At the time of the sale it is not known what the government rebate rate will be, but historical rates are used to estimate the current period accrual. Medicaid – The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is a program that includes The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, State Medicaid agencies, and participating drug manufacturers that helps to offset the federal and state costs of most outpatient prescription drugs dispensed to Medicaid patients. The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is jointly funded by the states and the federal government. The program reimburses hospitals, physicians, and pharmacies for providing care to qualifying recipients who cannot finance their own medical expenses. TRICARE – TRICARE is a benefit established by law as the health care program for uniformed service members, retired service members, and their families. We must pay the Department of Defense (“DOD”) refunds for drugs entered into the normal commercial chain of transactions that end up as prescriptions given to TRICARE beneficiaries and paid for by the DOD. The refund amount is the portion of the price of the drug sold by us that exceeds the federal ceiling price. Refunds due to TRICARE are based solely on utilization of pharmaceutical agents dispensed through a TRICARE Retail Pharmacy to DOD beneficiaries. Medicare Part D – We maintain contracts with Managed Care Organizations (“MCOs”) that administer prescription benefits for Medicare Part D. MCOs either own pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) or contract with several PBMs to fulfill prescriptions for patients enrolled under their plans. As patients obtain their prescriptions, utilization data are reported to the MCOs, which generally submit claims for rebates quarterly. Commercial Payer and Other Rebates – We contract with certain private payer organizations, primarily insurance companies and PBMs, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of Baxdela and contracted formulary status. We estimate these rebates and record reserves for such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized. Currently, the reserve for customer payer rebates considers future utilization based on third party studies of payer prescription data; the utilization is applied to product that remains in the distribution and retail pharmacy channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. As we distribute our products and establish historical sales over a longer period of time (i.e., two years), we will be able to place more reliance on historical data related to commercial payer rebates (i.e., actual utilization units) while continuing to rely on third party data related to payer prescriptions and utilization. In addition, we offer rebates to certain customers based on the volume of product purchased over an agreed period of time. GPO Administration Fees – We contract with GPOs and pay administration fees related to contracting and membership management services provided. In assessing if the consideration paid to the GPO should be recorded as a reduction in the transaction price, we determine whether the payment is for a distinct good or service or a combination of both. Since our GPO fees are not specifically identifiable, we do not consider the fees separate from the purchase of the product. Additionally, the GPO services generally cannot be provided by a third party. Because of these factors, the consideration paid is considered a reduction of revenue. MelintAssist – We offer certain voluntary patient assistance programs for prescriptions, such as savings/co-pay cards, which are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified patients with full or partial prescription drug co-payments required by payers. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that we expect to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution and pharmacy channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period, we adjust our allowances for cash discounts, product returns, chargebacks, fees-for-service and other rebates and discounts when believe actual experience may differ from current estimates. The following table provides a summary of activity with respect to our sales allowances and accruals during 2018 : Cash Discounts Product Returns Chargebacks Fees-for- Service MelintAssist Government Rebates Commercial Rebates Admin Fee Balance as of January 1, 2018 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Allowances for sales 808 2,149 4,369 2,246 757 554 980 331 Payments & credits issued (640 ) (63 ) (3,634 ) (1,554 ) (301 ) (53 ) (540 ) (215 ) Balance as of September 30, 2018 $ 168 $ 2,086 $ 735 $ 692 $ 456 $ 501 $ 440 $ 116 The allowances for cash discounts and chargebacks are recorded as contra-assets in trade receivables; the other balances are recorded in other accrued expenses. Grant Income We have several agreements with BARDA related to certain development costs for solithromycin and Vabomere. We concluded that BARDA is not a customer under Topic 606 because it does not engage with us in reciprocal transactions but, rather, provides contributions to our development efforts to encourage the development of more antibiotics for the welfare of society. As such, we view the income as a contribution and classify it within other income and expense, net, rather than in revenue. We recognize grant income under the BARDA contracts over time as qualifying research activities are conducted. In the first quarter of 2018 , we and BARDA agreed to terminate the solithromycin BARDA contract and wind down the study, but we will continue to recognize grant income until the wind-down activities are completed later this year. In addition, in May 2018 , we announced that we had entered into a partnership with the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator (“CARB-X”), under which Melinta will be awarded up to $6,200 to support the development of the company’s investigational pyrrolocytosine compounds. CARB-X was established in 2016 by BARDA, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Wellcome Trust, a global charitable foundation dedicated to improving health, to accelerate pre-clinical product development in the area of antibiotic-resistant infections, one of the world’s greatest health threats. Under the terms of the partnership, we will receive an initial award of up to $2,300 from CARB-X, with the possibility of $3,900 in additional awards based on the achievement of certain project milestones. Our pyrrolocytosine compounds are a novel class of antibiotics from our ESKAPE Pathogen Program, a program based on Melinta’s proprietary drug discovery platform focused on developing breakthrough antibiotics for bacterial “superbugs” by targeting the bacterial ribosome. |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss —Comprehensive loss is equal to net loss as presented in the accompanying statements of operations. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations— We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as of the acquisition date. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which narrows the definition of a business and requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, which would not constitute the acquisition of a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs. There is often judgment involved in assessing whether an acquisition transaction is a business combination under Topic 805 or an acquisition of assets. In our IDB acquisition, we evaluated the transaction and concluded that the IDB qualified as a “business” under Topic 805 as it has both inputs and processes with the ability to create outputs. Among IDB’s inputs are developed product rights, in-process research and development and intellectual property across multiple classes of drugs and indications, third-party contract manufacturing agreements and tangible assets from which there is potential to create value and outputs. With respect to business combinations, we determine the purchase price, including contingent consideration, and allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. With respect to the purchase of assets that do not meet the definition of a business under Topic 805, goodwill is not recognized in connection with the transaction and the purchase price is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. We engage a third-party professional service provider to assist us in determining the fair values of the purchase consideration, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to contingent liabilities associated with the purchase price and intangible assets, such as developed product rights and in-process research and development programs. Critical estimates that we have used in valuing these elements include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows using valuation techniques (i.e., Monte Carlo simulation models) and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. The purchase price of IDB included contingent consideration related to the achievement of future regulatory milestones, sales-based milestones associated with the products we acquired, and certain royalty payments based on tiered net sales of the acquired products. The sales-based milestones were assumed contingent liabilities from Medicines at the time of the acquisition. Changes to contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments related, but not limited, to changes in discount rates and the number of remaining periods to which the discount rate is applied, updates in the assumed achievement or timing of any development or commercial milestone or changes in the probability of certain clinical events, changes in our forecasted sales of products acquired, the passage of time and changes in the assumed probability associated with regulatory approval. At the end of each reporting period, we revalue these obligations and record increases or decreases in their fair value in selling, general and administrative expenses within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, any change in the assumptions described above, could have a material impact on the amount we may be obligated to pay as well as the results of our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations in any given reporting period. |
Advertising Expense | Advertising Expense —We record advertising expenses when they are incurred. |
Segment and Geographic Information | Segment and Geographic Information —Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We operate and manage our business as one operating segment. Although substantially all of our license and contract research revenue is generated from agreements with companies that are domiciled outside of the U.S., we do not operate outside of the U.S., nor do we have any significant assets in any foreign country. See this Note 2 for further discussion of the license and contract research revenue. |
Recently Issued, Adopted and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The standard outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this new revenue recognition guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has also issued certain clarifying guidance to Topic 606 that we have considered as follows: • ASU No. 2016-8, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), provides guidance for evaluating whether the nature of a company’s promise to the customer is to provide the underlying goods or services (i.e., the entity is the principal in the transaction) or to arrange for a third party to provide the underlying goods or services (i.e., the entity is the agent in the transaction). This update defines a specified good or service and provides guidance to help a company determine whether it controls a specified good or service before the good or service is transferred to the customer. ASU No. 2016-8 removes from the new revenue standard two of the five indicators used in the evaluation of control and reframes the remaining three indicators to help an entity determine when it is acting as a principal rather than as an agent. • ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, clarifies assessing whether promises to transfer goods or services are distinct, and whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with a right to use or right to access the entity's intellectual property. • ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, defines a completed contract as “a contract for which the entity has transferred all of the goods or services identified in accordance with revenue guidance that is in effect before the date of initial application.” The update also included the following clarifications or amendments to the guidance of Topic 606: ◦ Allowed companies that elect the modified retrospective transition method to apply the guidance of Topic 606 to either: 1) all contracts, completed or not completed, or 2) only to contracts that were not completed. We elected to apply the new standard to contracts with our customers that were incomplete of January 1, 2018. ◦ Clarified the objective of the entity’s collectability assessment (one of the five criteria of step 1 of the revenue recognition model) and provides new guidance on when an entity would recognize as revenue consideration it receives if the entity concludes that collectability is not probable. ◦ Permitted an entity to present revenue net of sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities (i.e., exclude sales taxes that meet certain criteria, from the transaction price). ◦ Specifies that the fair value measurement date for noncash consideration to be received is the contract inception date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of noncash consideration after contract inception would be included in the transaction price as variable consideration (subject to the variable consideration constraint) only if the fair value varies for reasons other than the “form” of the consideration. • ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , provides corrections or improvements to issues that affect narrow aspects of the guidance. The new guidance provided for two transition methods, a full retrospective approach and a modified retrospective approach, and requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption and recognized the cumulative effect of adoption as an adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2018, in the amount of $10,008 , solely related to revenue that was previously deferred on a contract that has yet to be completed. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016 , the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases with terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet but recognize expense on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective for us in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-2 is permitted. We lease certain office equipment and vehicles as well as our office building in Lincolnshire, Illinois, our research and administrative facility in New Haven, Connecticut, our office facilities in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Morristown, New Jersey. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-2, which we plan to adopt on January 1, 2019 , on our consolidated financial statements. To date, we have identified all of our leases, and we anticipate that adoption of ASU 2016-2 will result in the recognition of additional assets and lease liabilities, along with the associated recognition of amortization expense for the right-to-use assets. In January 2017 , the FASB issued ASU 2017-4, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. Step two measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The new guidance requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our methodology for evaluating goodwill for impairment subsequent to adoption of this standard. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which modifies or removes certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial statements. |
