Organization | 1. Organization Annexon, Inc., or the Company, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a new class of complement medicines designed to stop the classical complement pathway at its start, C1q, in order to bring therapies to patients suffering from serious complement-mediated autoimmune, neurodegenerative and ophthalmic disorders. The Company is located in Brisbane, California and was incorporated in Delaware in March 2011. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Annexon Biosciences Australia Pty Ltd, or the Subsidiary, is a proprietary limited company incorporated in 2016 and domiciled in Australia. The Subsidiary is also engaged in research and development activities in support of its parent company. Initial Public Offering On July 23 14,750,000 2,139,403 262.4 Reverse Stock Split On July 17, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for- 8.81 Liquidity Since inception, the Company has been involved primarily in performing research and development activities, conducting clinical trials, hiring personnel, and raising capital to support and expand these activities. The Company has experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and, as of December 31, 2021, had an accumulated deficit of $296.3 million and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $242.7 million. The Company has historically funded its operations through the issuance of shares of its redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock. Based on projected activities, management projects that cash on hand is sufficient to support operations for at least the next 12 months following issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operations for at least the next several years. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 2 . Basis of Presentation Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates, including but not limited to the fair value of investments, stock options, income taxes, clinical trial accruals and stock-based compensation. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles The consolidated financial statements include the operations of Annexon, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary and include the results of operations and cash flows of these entities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Segments The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating the Company’s resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The considers Restricted cash as of December 31, 2021 relates to the letters of credit established for the Company’s office leases. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows: December 31, 2021 2020 Cash $ 734 $ 597 Cash equivalents 74,109 267,968 Cash and cash equivalents 74,843 268,565 Restricted cash 1,166 — Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 76,009 $ 268,565 Short-Term Investments Short-term investments have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase. Available-for-sale securities with original maturities beyond three months at the date of purchase are classified as current based on their availability for use in current operations. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, its available-for-sale debt securities for potential impairment. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether such declines are due to credit loss based on factors such as changes to the rating of the security by a ratings agency, market conditions and supportable forecasts of economic and market conditions, among others. If credit loss exists, the Company assess es whether it has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any available-for-sale debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either condition is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value and is recognized through interest and other income (expense) , net. If neither condition is met, declines as a result of credit losses, if any, are recognized as an allowance for credit loss, limited to the amount of unrealized loss, through interest and other income (expense) , net. Any portion of the unrealized loss that is not a result of a credit loss, is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) . Realized gains and losses, if any, on available-for-sale debt securities are included in interest and other income (expense) , net. The cost of investments sold is based on the specific-identification method. Interest on available-for-sale debt Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation begins at the time the asset is placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. The useful Laboratory equipment 5 years Office and computer equipment 3 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of remaining lease term or estimated useful life Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. When indications of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets is less than the assets’ carrying value, the related assets will be written down to fair value. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets for the periods presented. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases As a practical expedient, the Company elected, for all facility leases, not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company elected to exclude from its balance sheets recognition of leases having a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases). Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred taxes to the amounts expected to be realized. The examination Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Foreign Currencies The Dollar Gains Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred for the development of the Company’s product candidates. Direct expenses include (i) preclinical and clinical outside service costs associated with discovery, preclinical and clinical testing of the Company’s product candidates; (ii) professional services agreements with third-party contract organizations, investigative clinical trial sites and consultants that conduct research and development activities on the Company’s behalf; (iii) contract manufacturing costs to produce clinical trial materials; and (iv) laboratory supplies and materials. Indirect expenses include (A) compensation and personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), (B) allocated expenses for facilities and depreciation; and (C) other indirect costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Payments made to third parties are under agreements that are generally cancelable by the Company. Advance payments for research and development activities are deferred as prepaid expenses. The prepaid amounts are expensed as the related services are performed. The Company estimates preclinical studies and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on the Company’s behalf. The Company also estimates manufacturing costs based on services performed pursuant to contracts with contract manufacturing organizations that develop and manufacture product on the Company’s behalf. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. These estimates are based on the Company’s communications with the third-party service providers and on information available at each balance sheet date. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies significantly from the estimate, the Company will adjust Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and non-employee directors and consultants using a fair value method which requires the recognition of compensation expense for costs related to all stock-based payments, including stock options and restricted stock units, or RSUs. The fair value method requires the Company to estimate the fair value of stock options to employees and non-employees on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSU awards are based on the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date. The Company grants certain employees performance-based stock options. For awards that include performance conditions, no compensation cost is recognized until the performance goals are probable of being met, at which time the cumulative compensation expense from the service inception date would be recognized. Stock-based compensation costs are based on the fair value of the underlying option calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis (for all but performance-based awards for which the accelerated method is used) over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Determining the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company accounts for forfeitures Accounting for Non-Recurring Grant Income Non-recurring grant income is recognized when the research and development activities have been undertaken and the Company has completed its assessment of whether such activities meet the relevant qualifying criteria. Grants received from government and other agencies in advance of the specific research and development costs to which they relate are deferred and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period they are earned and when the related research and development costs are incurred. Non-recurring grant income recognized in interest and other income (expense), net was $135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. No non-recurring grant income was recognized during 2020. Net Loss Per Share Attributable Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. As the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company’s cash and Management Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (Topic 350) The standard requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), , Leases In the second quarter of 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 The adoption of Topic 842 as of January 1, 2021 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $0.5 million, corresponding lease liabilities of $0.6 million, the derecognition of Commitments and Contingencies T As part of the Topic 842 adoption, the Company elected certain practical expedients outlined in the guidance. The Company has chosen to apply the package of practical expedients for existing leases, which provides relief from reassessing: (i) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) whether initial direct costs can be capitalized. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to reassess the lease term for existing leases. The Company elected the short-term lease exemption, under which any lease less than 12 months is excluded from recognition on the balance sheet. Additionally, the Company elected the non-separation of lease and non-lease components. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instrument s —Credit Losses . This ASU does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses guidance. The FASB also subsequently issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Financial Instruments (Topic 825), which did not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 but clarified that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account and should not exceed amounts previously written off and expected to be written off. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-3, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments which makes narrow-scope improvements to various financial instruments topics, including the new credit losses standard and clarifies the following areas ( i ) the contractual term of a net investment in a lease should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses; (ii) when an entity regains control of financial assets sold, an allowance for credit losses should be recorded. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies. The Company adopted this guidance on a modified-retrospective basis effective January 1, 2021 and noted no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 3 . Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: • Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. • Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. On a recurring basis, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The following tables summarize the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): December 31, 2021 Valuation Hierarchy Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Holding Gains Gross Unrealized Holding Losses Aggregate Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds Level 1 $ 74,109 $ — $ — $ 74,109 Short-term investments: Commercial paper Level 2 85,352 — (27 ) 85,325 Corporate debt Level 2 48,814 — (24 ) 48,790 Government bonds Level 2 33,809 — (52 ) 33,757 Total assets $ 242,084 $ — $ (103 ) $ 241,981 December 31, 2020 Valuation Hierarchy Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Holding Gains Gross Unrealized Holding Losses Aggregate Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds Level 1 $ 267,968 $ — $ — $ 267,968 Short-term investments: Commercial paper Level 2 59,930 — — 59,930 Corporate bonds Level 2 22,717 1 (7 ) 22,711 Total assets $ 350,615 $ 1 $ (7 ) $ 350,609 All of the investments held as of December 31, 2021 had maturities of less than two years.

Commitments and Contingencies | 5 . Commitments Leases The Company leased its offices and laboratory in South San Francisco, California, or the South San Francisco Lease, under a 7-year noncancelable lease agreement that ends in June 2024 with a 5-year renewal option. In December 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to lease office and laboratory space in Brisbane, California, or the Brisbane Lease, with an affiliate of the South San Francisco Lease landlord. November 2021 ten-year Concurrent with the execution of the Brisbane Lease, the Company entered into an agreement to terminate the South San Francisco Lease, immediately effective when the tenant improvements of the Brisbane Lease were completed in December 2021. The South San Francisco Lease and the Brisbane Lease are accounted for as one lease with two lease components. Accordingly, upon adoption of Topic 842, the total consideration for the lease was reallocated to each lease component based on standalone selling price. As the Brisbane Lease commenced in May 2021, $1.3 million of the consideration allocated to the Brisbane Lease was recorded as a liability as of January 1, 2021 when the deferred rent balance of the South San Francisco Lease was derecognized. In November 2021, the Company subleased space that has no immediate needs for the Company’s operations for two years starting from December 2021 for the aggregate sublease payments of $3.4 million. The sublease income, while it reduces the rent expense, is not considered in the value of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company’s sublease income was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. In connection The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to measure the operating lease liability is 8.4%. Operating lease cost for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2.9 million. Variable lease payments for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $0.4 million. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0.4 million.

Equity Incentive Plan | 7 . Equity Incentive In July 2020, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted and approved the 2020 Incentive Award Plan, or the 2020 Plan, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, which became effective in connection with the IPO. The Company may not grant any additional awards under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan automatically increase on the first day of January, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. Awards granted under the 2020 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. For the Incentive Stock Options, or ISOs, and Nonstatutory Stock Options, or NSOs, the option price shall not be less than 100% of the estimated fair value on the date of grant. Options granted typically vest over a four-year 2,039,951 Stock options Stock option activity under the 2011 Plan and the 2020 Plan was as follows: Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Balances as of December 31, 2020 3,909,873 $ 10.78 8.40 $ 56,128 Additional shares authorized Stock options granted 2,871,400 $ 25.54 Stock options exercised (391,349 ) $ 4.11 Stock options cancelled (727,100 ) $ 24.41 Balances as of December 31, 2021 5,662,824 $ 16.98 8.26 $ 10,186 Exercisable as of December 31, 2021 2,065,942 $ 11.34 7.08 $ 8,120 The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $6.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the stock option. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $18.83 and $12.33 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding unvested stock options that are expected to vest was $51.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of 3.03 years. Restricted Stock Units RSUs are share awards that entitle the holder to receive freely tradeable shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The RSUs cannot be transferred and the awards are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s employment terminates prior to the release of the vesting restrictions. The RSUs generally vest over a three-year period in equal amounts on an annual basis, provided the employee remains continuously employed with the Company. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. A summary of RSU activity under our equity incentive plan and related information is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Unvested as of December 31, 2020 — $ — Granted 50,000 12.84 Unvested as of December 31, 2021 50,000 $ 12.84 As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding unvested RSUs was $0.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.98 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the end of each offering period at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the first business day or the last business day of the offering period, whichever is lower. Eligible employees generally included all employees. Share purchases are funded through payroll deductions of at least 1%, and up to 15% of an employee’s eligible compensation for each payroll period. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP increase automatically on the first day of each fiscal year, by a number equal to, 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or such number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2021, 729,775 shares were available for future purchase. The ESPP generally provides for six-month consecutive offering periods beginning on May 15 th th The ESPP is a compensatory plan as defined by the authoritative guidance for stock compensation. As such, stock-based compensation expense has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The total stock-based compensation expense recognized was as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Research and development $ 8,610 $ 2,274 General and administrative 7,652 2,614 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 16,262 $ 4,888 The stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. To determine the value of stock option awards for stock-based compensation purposes, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions discussed below. Fair Value of Common Stock— Historically, for all periods prior to the IPO in July 2020, fair values of the shares of common stock underlying the Company’s share-based awards were estimated on each grant date by the Company’s board of directors. The board of directors considered, among other things, valuations of the Company’s common stock which were prepared by an independent third-party valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 2013 Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. After the completion of the IPO, the fair value of each share of underlying common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the date of grant on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Expected Term —The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company’s historical share option exercise information is limited due to a lack of sufficient data points, and did not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term. The expected term for option grants is therefore determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term). Expected Volatility —Because the Company does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly traded life science companies over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants. The comparable companies were chosen based on the similar size, stage in the life cycle, or area of specialty. The Company will continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its own stock price becomes available and to align with the Company’s expected term. Risk-Free Interest Rate —The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option. Dividend Yield —The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. The fair value of each award issued was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Expected term (in years) 4.33-6.08 5.00-6.08 Expected volatility 88%-91% 85%-93% Risk-free interest rate 0.35%-1.31% 0.33%-1.45% Dividend yield — — |

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the Tax Act, federal NOLs generated after December 31, 2017 will be carried forward indefinitely with the yearly NOL utilization limited to 80 percent of taxable income. The Company had $197.1 million of such federal NOLs that do not expire. If not utilized, the federal carryforward losses generated prior to 2018 and the state carryforward losses will expire in various amounts beginning in 2031. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $7.3 million of federal and $5.6 million of state credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. If not utilized, these credit carryforwards will expire in various amounts for federal purposes beginning in 2031. The state credits do not expire. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes that, based on available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized; therefore, a full valuation allowance has been recorded. The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $24.4 million and $14.8 million Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and credits may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. The Company performed a Section 382 analysis through June 30, 2021. Federal net operating losses carryforwards of $257.8 million and state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $30.8 million are not expected to expire unutilized as a result of ownership changes identified through June 30, 2021. The Company has identified $0.1 million and $39.9 million of federal and state net operating losses, respectively, that will expire unused due to ownership changes, and federal credits of $3.7 million that will not be able to be utilized due to ownership change limitation; these amounts have been excluded from the deferred tax assets table above. Uncertain Tax The Company has the following activity relating to the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 1,576 $ 1,116 Decreases based on tax positions related to prior year (789 ) — Additions based on tax positions related to current year 1,007 460 Ending balance $ 1,794 $ 1,576 None of these uncertain tax positions will impact the Company’s effective tax rate if assessed. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no interest or penalty accruals associated with uncertain tax benefits in its consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company files income tax returns in the US, California, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and in Australia. The Company is not currently under examination by any major tax jurisdictions nor has it been in the past. The tax years 2011 through 2021 remain effectively open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service and most state tax authorities. Although it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next 12 months due to tax examination changes, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations, or the impact on recognition and measurement considerations related to the results of published tax cases or other similar activities, the Company does not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates, including but not limited to the fair value of investments, stock options, income taxes, clinical trial accruals and stock-based compensation. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles The consolidated financial statements include the operations of Annexon, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary and include the results of operations and cash flows of these entities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

Available-for-sale securities with original maturities beyond three months at the date of purchase are classified as current based on their availability for use in current operations. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, its available-for-sale debt securities for potential impairment. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether such declines are due to credit loss based on factors such as changes to the rating of the security by a ratings agency, market conditions and supportable forecasts of economic and market conditions, among others. If credit loss exists, the Company assess es whether it has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any available-for-sale debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either condition is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value and is recognized through interest and other income (expense) , net. If neither condition is met, declines as a result of credit losses, if any, are recognized as an allowance for credit loss, limited to the amount of unrealized loss, through interest and other income (expense) , net. Any portion of the unrealized loss that is not a result of a credit loss, is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) . Realized gains and losses, if any, on available-for-sale debt securities are included in interest and other income (expense) , net. The cost of investments sold is based on the specific-identification method. Interest on available-for-sale debt |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation begins at the time the asset is placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. The useful Laboratory equipment 5 years Office and computer equipment 3 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of remaining lease term or estimated useful life |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. When indications of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets is less than the assets’ carrying value, the related assets will be written down to fair value. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets for the periods presented. |
Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases As a practical expedient, the Company elected, for all facility leases, not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company elected to exclude from its balance sheets recognition of leases having a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases). |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred taxes to the amounts expected to be realized. The examination |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. |
Foreign Currencies | Foreign Currencies The Dollar Gains |
Research and Development Expense | Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred for the development of the Company’s product candidates. Direct expenses include (i) preclinical and clinical outside service costs associated with discovery, preclinical and clinical testing of the Company’s product candidates; (ii) professional services agreements with third-party contract organizations, investigative clinical trial sites and consultants that conduct research and development activities on the Company’s behalf; (iii) contract manufacturing costs to produce clinical trial materials; and (iv) laboratory supplies and materials. Indirect expenses include (A) compensation and personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation), (B) allocated expenses for facilities and depreciation; and (C) other indirect costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Payments made to third parties are under agreements that are generally cancelable by the Company. Advance payments for research and development activities are deferred as prepaid expenses. The prepaid amounts are expensed as the related services are performed. The Company estimates preclinical studies and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on the Company’s behalf. The Company also estimates manufacturing costs based on services performed pursuant to contracts with contract manufacturing organizations that develop and manufacture product on the Company’s behalf. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. These estimates are based on the Company’s communications with the third-party service providers and on information available at each balance sheet date. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies significantly from the estimate, the Company will adjust |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and non-employee directors and consultants using a fair value method which requires the recognition of compensation expense for costs related to all stock-based payments, including stock options and restricted stock units, or RSUs. The fair value method requires the Company to estimate the fair value of stock options to employees and non-employees on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSU awards are based on the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the grant date. The Company grants certain employees performance-based stock options. For awards that include performance conditions, no compensation cost is recognized until the performance goals are probable of being met, at which time the cumulative compensation expense from the service inception date would be recognized. Stock-based compensation costs are based on the fair value of the underlying option calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis (for all but performance-based awards for which the accelerated method is used) over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. Determining the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company accounts for forfeitures |
Accounting for Non-Recurring Grant Income | Accounting for Non-Recurring Grant Income Non-recurring grant income is recognized when the research and development activities have been undertaken and the Company has completed its assessment of whether such activities meet the relevant qualifying criteria. Grants received from government and other agencies in advance of the specific research and development costs to which they relate are deferred and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period they are earned and when the related research and development costs are incurred. Non-recurring grant income recognized in interest and other income (expense), net was $135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. No non-recurring grant income was recognized during 2020. |
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders | Net Loss Per Share Attributable Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. As the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company’s cash and Management |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (Topic 350) The standard requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), , Leases In the second quarter of 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 The adoption of Topic 842 as of January 1, 2021 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $0.5 million, corresponding lease liabilities of $0.6 million, the derecognition of Commitments and Contingencies T As part of the Topic 842 adoption, the Company elected certain practical expedients outlined in the guidance. The Company has chosen to apply the package of practical expedients for existing leases, which provides relief from reassessing: (i) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) lease classification, and (iii) whether initial direct costs can be capitalized. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to reassess the lease term for existing leases. The Company elected the short-term lease exemption, under which any lease less than 12 months is excluded from recognition on the balance sheet. Additionally, the Company elected the non-separation of lease and non-lease components. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instrument s —Credit Losses . This ASU does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses guidance. The FASB also subsequently issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Financial Instruments (Topic 825), which did not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 but clarified that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account and should not exceed amounts previously written off and expected to be written off. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-3, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments which makes narrow-scope improvements to various financial instruments topics, including the new credit losses standard and clarifies the following areas ( i ) the contractual term of a net investment in a lease should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses; (ii) when an entity regains control of financial assets sold, an allowance for credit losses should be recorded. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies. The Company adopted this guidance on a modified-retrospective basis effective January 1, 2021 and noted no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management. |
