Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2020. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2020, or for any future period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on subtotals in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. The impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve. As a result, certain estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carried a higher degree of variability and volatility, including but not limited to, the fair value of marketable securities, performance-based equity awards, and research and development accruals for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As events continue to unfold and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change materially in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. The significant uncertainties caused by COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company’s operations, liquidity, and capital resources, and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, regulatory and private sector responses and the impact on employees and vendors including supply chain and clinical partners, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. During this pandemic, the Company continues to work closely with clinical sites towards maximal patient safety and the lowest number of missed visits and study discontinuations. The Company has taken and continues to take proactive measures to maintain the integrity of its ongoing clinical studies. Despite these efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly impact clinical trial enrollment and completion of its clinical studies. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and its impact on the ability to continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, the Company’s product candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved products. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as noted below with respect to the Company’s liability related to sale of future royalties and as noted within the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” section. Liability related to Sale of Future Royalties On December 1, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Kodiak Sciences GmbH entered into a funding agreement with Baker Bros. Advisors, LP (“BBA”), which holds more than 5% of the Company’s stock, pursuant to which BBA purchased the right to receive a capped 4.5% royalty on future net sales of KSI-301, the Company’s anti-VEGF antibody biopolymer conjugate therapy, in exchange for $225.0 million. Under the terms of the funding agreement, there is no obligation to repay any funding amount received, other than through the capped royalty payments on future product revenues. The Company recorded the funding amount paid by BBA as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet net of issuance costs , in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development . Under ASC 730, the significant related party relationship between the Company and BBA creates an implicit obligation to repay the funding amount paid to the Company. Once royalty payments to BBA are determined to be probable and estimable, and if such amounts exceed the liability balance, the Company will impute interest to accrete the liability on a prospective basis based on such estimates. If and when the Company makes royalty payments under the funding agreement, it would reduce the liability balance at such time. Refer to Note 7. Credit Losses – Available-for-Sale Debt Securities For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company will periodically assess its portfolio for impairment. The assessment first considers the intent or requirement to sell the security. If either of these criteria are met, the amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through earnings. If not met, the Company will evaluate whether the decline resulted from credit losses or other factors by considering the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss, as applicable. Recent a p From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements which intends to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets, such as available-for-sale debt securities. The Company assessed the In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

Marketable Securities	5. Marketable Securities The marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and consist of U.S. treasury securities, corporate notes and commercial paper. The fair value measurement data for marketable securities is obtained from independent pricing services. The Company validates the prices provided by the third-party pricing services by understanding the valuation methods and data sources used and analyzing the pricing data in certain instances. The following table summarizes the marketable securities held at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): As of March 31, 2020 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value U.S. treasury securities $ 80,161 $ 566 $ — $ 80,727 Commercial paper 74,958 1 — 74,959 Corporate notes 39,776 — (58 ) 39,718 Total marketable securities, current $ 194,895 $ 567 $ (58 ) $ 195,404 Corporate notes $ 8,553 $ — $ (20 ) $ 8,533 Total marketable securities, noncurrent $ 8,553 $ — $ (20 ) $ 8,533 As of December 31, 2019 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value U.S. treasury securities $ 50,190 $ — $ (5 ) $ 50,185 Commercial paper 34,532 1 — 34,533 Corporate notes 39,956 13 (3 ) 39,966 Total marketable securities, current $ 124,678 $ 14 $ (8 ) $ 124,684 Corporate notes $ 11,692 $ 4 $ — $ 11,696 Total marketable securities, noncurrent $ 11,692 $ 4 $ — $ 11,696 All marketable securities held at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 had contractual maturities of less than 18 months. There were no realized gains or losses recognized on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and as a result, the Company did not reclassify any amounts out of accumulated comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities. There were no impairment charges or recoveries recorded during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	6. Commitments and Contingencies The Company has entered into service agreements with a variety of service providers, pursuant to which such service providers agreed to perform activities in connection with the manufacturing of certain materials. Such agreements, and related amendments, state that planned activities that are included in the signed work orders are, in some cases, binding and, hence, obligate the Company to pay the full price of the work order upon satisfactory delivery of products and services or obligate the Company to the binding amount regardless of whether such planned activities are in fact performed. Per the terms of the agreements, the Company has the option to cancel signed orders at any time upon written notice, which may or may not be subject to payment of a cancellation fee. The level of cancellation fees may be dependent on the timing of the written notice in relation to the commencement date of the work, with the maximum cancellation amount dependent on the agreement or the work order. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total amount of cancelable and/or non-cancelable purchase obligations, including accrued amounts, under these agreements were $29.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Expense recognized under these agreements during the period, including amounts paid and accrued, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $4.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had not incurred any cancellation fees. The Company has also entered into various cancellable license agreements for certain technology. The Company may be obligated to make payments on future sales of specified products associated with such license agreements. Such payments are dependent on future product sales and are not estimable. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. Management is currently not aware of any matters that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company records a legal liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability may be imputed, and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment by the Company is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. Indemnification To the extent permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the director’s or officer’s service. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not specified in the agreements; however, the Company has director and officer insurance coverage that reduces its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal.

Liability Related To Sale Of Future Royalties [Abstract]
Liability related to Sale of Future Royalties	7. Liability related to Sale of Future Royalties On December 1, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Kodiak Sciences GmbH entered into a funding agreement with Baker Bros. Advisors, LP (“BBA”), which holds more than 5% of the Company’s stock, pursuant to which BBA purchased the right to receive a capped 4.5% royalty on future net sales of KSI-301, the Company’s anti-VEGF antibody biopolymer conjugate therapy, in exchange for $225.0 million. The royalty terminates upon the date that BBA has received an aggregate amount equal to 4.5 times the funding amount paid to the Company, unless earlier terminated or repurchased by the Company. Under the terms of the funding agreement, there is no obligation to repay any funding amount received, other than through the capped royalty payments on future product revenues. The Company has the option, exercisable at any point during the term of the funding agreement, to repurchase 100% of the royalties due to BBA for a purchase price equal to 4.5 times the funding amount paid to the Company as of such time, less amounts paid by the Company to BBA. The closing of the funding agreement was subject to certain conditions and occurred in February 2020. The Company received $100.0 million of the funding on February 4, 2020. The remaining $125.0 million shall be payable to the Company upon enrollment of 50% of the patients in the planned RVO clinical program. The Company recorded the initial $100.0 million payment as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet net of issuance costs as of March 31, 2020 , in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development . Under ASC 730, the significant related party relationship between the Company and BBA creates an implicit obligation to repay the funding amount paid to the Company. Once royalty payments to BBA are determined to be probable and estimable, and if such amounts exceed the liability balance, the Company will impute interest to accrete the liability on a prospective basis based on such estimates. If and when the Company makes royalty payments under the funding agreement, it would reduce the liability balance at such time.

These performance-based equity awards will vest one-quarter upon the achievement of specific clinical development milestones. The remaining shares will then vest in three equal annual installments after that date. Performance-based stock options and performance-based restricted stock units are recorded as expense beginning when vesting events are determined to be probable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2020. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2020, or for any future period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassification	Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on subtotals in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. The impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve. As a result, certain estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carried a higher degree of variability and volatility, including but not limited to, the fair value of marketable securities, performance-based equity awards, and research and development accruals for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As events continue to unfold and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change materially in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks and Uncertainties In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic due to the global COVID-19 outbreak. The significant uncertainties caused by COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company’s operations, liquidity, and capital resources, and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, regulatory and private sector responses and the impact on employees and vendors including supply chain and clinical partners, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. During this pandemic, the Company continues to work closely with clinical sites towards maximal patient safety and the lowest number of missed visits and study discontinuations. The Company has taken and continues to take proactive measures to maintain the integrity of its ongoing clinical studies. Despite these efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly impact clinical trial enrollment and completion of its clinical studies. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and its impact on the ability to continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, the Company’s product candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved products.
Liability related to Sale of Future Royalties	Liability related to Sale of Future Royalties On December 1, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Kodiak Sciences GmbH entered into a funding agreement with Baker Bros. Advisors, LP (“BBA”), which holds more than 5% of the Company’s stock, pursuant to which BBA purchased the right to receive a capped 4.5% royalty on future net sales of KSI-301, the Company’s anti-VEGF antibody biopolymer conjugate therapy, in exchange for $225.0 million. Under the terms of the funding agreement, there is no obligation to repay any funding amount received, other than through the capped royalty payments on future product revenues. The Company recorded the funding amount paid by BBA as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet net of issuance costs , in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development . Under ASC 730, the significant related party relationship between the Company and BBA creates an implicit obligation to repay the funding amount paid to the Company. Once royalty payments to BBA are determined to be probable and estimable, and if such amounts exceed the liability balance, the Company will impute interest to accrete the liability on a prospective basis based on such estimates. If and when the Company makes royalty payments under the funding agreement, it would reduce the liability balance at such time. Refer to Note 7.
Credit Losses – Available-for-Sale Debt Securities	Credit Losses – Available-for-Sale Debt Securities For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company will periodically assess its portfolio for impairment. The assessment first considers the intent or requirement to sell the security. If either of these criteria are met, the amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through earnings. If not met, the Company will evaluate whether the decline resulted from credit losses or other factors by considering the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses will be recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss, as applicable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent a p From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements which intends to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on certain financial assets, such as available-for-sale debt securities. The Company assessed the In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
