Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | Note 1. Nature of Business Tyme Technologies, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Bedminster, New Jersey, with a wholly owned subsidiary, Tyme Inc. (together, “TYME” or the “Company”). The majority of the Company’s research, development and other business activities are conducted by Tyme Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 2013. TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing cancer metabolism-based therapies (CMBTs TM The Company’s lead clinical CMBT compound, SM-88, is an oral investigational modified proprietary tyrosine derivative that is hypothesized to interrupt the metabolic processes of cancer cells by breaking down the cells’ key defenses and leading to cell death through oxidative stress and exposure to the body’s natural immune system. Clinical trial data have shown that SM-88 has achieved confirmed tumor responses across 15 different cancers, both solid and liquid tumors, including pancreatic, lung, breast, prostate, sarcoma and lymphoma cancers with minimal drug-related serious Grade 3 or higher adverse events, which the Company believes is rare for investigational compounds. Ongoing Studies The Company has partnered with Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (“PanCAN”) to study SM-88 in an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent known as Precision Promise SM In early 2020, the open-label Phase 2 investigator sponsored trial of SM-88 therapy in sarcoma, HoPES, opened. This trial has two cohorts each expecting to enroll 12 patients. The first is SM-88 with MPS as salvage treatment in patients with mixed rare sarcomas, and the other is SM-88 with MPS as maintenance treatment for patients with metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma who had not progressed on prior therapy. The primary objectives are to measure ORR and PFS. Secondary objectives include duration of response, OS, CBR using RECIST, and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. The Joseph Ahmed Foundation is providing funding and patient support for this trial and the trial is being conducted by principal investigator Dr. Chawla at the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, CA. We also recently announced an agreement with Georgetown University to support a Phase II trial, OASIS, for SM-88 in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have hormone receptor positive (“HR+”) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (“HER2-“) disease (“HR+/HER2-“). This represents approximately 73% of the annual breast cancer diagnosis in the US each year. The OASIS trial is an investigator-initiated prospective open-label Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of SM-88 with MPS for the treatment of metastatic hormone-receptor positive, HER2- breast cancer after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. This trial is designed as a two-stage trial, enrolling up to 50 patients to receive SM-88 with MPS without additional therapies in patients who have failed or progressed after receiving two hormonal agents and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The primary endpoint of this trial is ORR, with secondary endpoints including duration of response (“DOR”), clinical benefit rate (“CBR”) at >24 weeks, progression free survival (“PFS”), and safety. The trial will be conducted at Georgetown University at a total of five sites within the Georgetown/MEDSTAR system located in Washington DC, Maryland, and New Jersey. Patient enrollment is expected to begin in the third quarter of calendar year 2021. In calendar year 2019, the Company presented final SM-88 prostate Phase II clinical data showing encouraging clinical benefit in patients with bio-marker recurrent prostate cancer, with the final results published in the peer-reviewed journal, Investigational New Drugs Preclinical Pipeline Programs TYME-19 is an oral synthetically produced member of the bile acid family that is being developed for the potential treatment of COVID-19. From the Company’s metabolic understanding of bile acids, it was able to identify TYME-19 as a well characterized candidate and a potential treatment of corona viruses. A patent has been issued for TYME-19 for the treatment of COVID-19. Bile acids can cellular modulate lipid and glucose metabolism and can remediate dysregulated protein folding, each that are relevant to viral infection of a host cell. Existing literature has shown that certain bile acids can have antiviral properties in a range of different viruses, including prior corona viruses. Our initial preclinical in vitro experiments displayed effectiveness against COVID-19 infection and replication, and we continue to conduct additional tests to support the potential utility of TYME-19 in the treatment of COVID-19 and disease variants. With the ever-changing dynamics of this disease area, the company’s intent with this program is to prepare this agent for clinical testing, while learning from the ongoing work in an effort to identify an optimal clinical setting where TYME-19 could potentially offer clinical benefits, and for which there may be a sustainable market. TYME-18 is a pre-clinical CMBT compound under development that is delivered intratumorally. TYME-18 is a combination of a proprietary surfactant system and natural sulfonic/bile acid that is designed to disrupt energy metabolism and have lytic function for potential treatment of inoperable tumors. TYME-18 is distinct in composition from SM-88. However, like SM-88, it aims to enhance the susceptibility of a cancer to the highly acidic and toxic tumor microenvironment, while minimizing the impact to normal tissues. In initial preclinical xenograft mouse studies, TYME-18 was able to completely resolve over 90 percent (11 of 12 mice) of established colorectal tumors within 12 days versus an average of over 600 percent growth in the control animals. TYME-18 is currently in preclinical development, and as with TYME-19, we expect at the proper time, to identify a potential partner to assist in the ongoing development of TYME-18 Discontinuing Programs TYME-88-PANC (Part 2) (third-line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer) In fiscal year 2020, we launched our pivotal study for SM-88 in the third-line treatment of pancreatic cancer through an amendment to our ongoing TYME-88-Panc trial (Part 2), with the first patient dosed in the third quarter of the fiscal year. As described previously, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted enrollment of this trial such that it appears it is likely to complete enrollment in a similar timeline to the second-line Precision Promise pancreatic cancer trial. There has also been a higher than expected dropout of patients randomized to the chemotherapy control arm, which could potentially impact the interpretative and regulatory utility of the data. Following a comprehensive strategic review, considering, in part, the timeline and regulatory utility for this trial compared to the parallel Precision Promise trial and concentration of investment in this specific cancer, management concluded that it would be best to focus on the second-line Precision Promise trial that offers treatment options to patients earlier in their disease. Furthermore, the trial includes tumor biopsy and biomarker analyses that aligns with the Company’s overall strategic focus to identifying patients with the best chance of benefit from our therapies. Therefore, the Company has decided to stop enrollment and begin the process of closing down the trial. Patients currently on therapy will be allowed to continue treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The closing of this trial may require several months to complete, with anticipated close out costs to be $2 million to $3 million. Liquidity The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity offerings. In April 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of $11.3 million after underwriting discounts and before expenses through an underwritten registered offering. On October 18, 2019, TYME entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement SM The proceeds of the aforementioned offerings are being used by the Company for continued clinical studies, drug commercialization and development activities and other general corporate and operating expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $23.6 million and net loss of $29.0 million, which included non-cash expenses of $3.9 million related to the change in fair value of warrant liability and $3.5 million non-cash equity compensation, partially offset by non-cash gain on warrant exchange of $2.2 million. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $104.0 million. Management has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they come due during the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financial statements. This conclusion is based on the Company’s assessment of qualitative and quantitative conditions and events, considered in aggregate as of the date of issuance of these financial statements that are known and reasonably knowable. Among other relevant conditions and events, the Company has considered its operational plans, liquidity sources, obligations due or expected, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations, and potential adverse conditions or events as of the issuance date of these financial statements. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary, Tyme, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors. Current Economic Conditions Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimation include the calculation of the stock-based compensation and warrant valuation. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $107.5 million at March 31, 2021 and $26.7 million at March 31, 2020. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited with major banks and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company exceeded the FDIC limit of $250,000 by $107.3 million at March 31, 2021 and $26.4 million at March 31, 2020. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company established an investment policy and invested in a portfolio of highly liquid investments and marketable securities. The primary objectives of the Company’s policy are to preserve capital and diversify risk, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow requirements. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company records certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (observable inputs) and the lowest priority to the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Fair value measurements should be disclosed separately by level within the fair value hierarchy. For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with established fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data are based primarily upon estimates, and often are calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as assets held for sale and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates fair value given their short-term nature. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of warrant liability is discussed in Note 7. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses represent expenditures made in advance of when the economic benefit of the cost will be realized, and which will be expensed in future periods with the passage of time. Prepaid expenses and other current assets includes $1.0 million and $0.8 million of prepaid insurance as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company estimates a life of three years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include fixed assets and operating lease right of use assets, whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If indicators of impairment exist, projected future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to its carrying amount to determine whether the asset’s value is recoverable. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operating results. For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that there were no triggering events requiring an impairment analysis. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of, but not limited to, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and consultants that conduct clinical and preclinical studies, costs associated with preclinical and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations, depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities and employee related expenses, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical studies, are accrued, over the service period specified in the contract and recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to us by our vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as prepaid or accrued expense. Income Taxes Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States, for federal and various state jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the income tax expense. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. 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. A valuation allowance is provided when, after consideration of available positive and negative evidence that it is not more likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax assets will be realizable. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions. ASC 740 “Income Taxes” states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. When and if the Company were to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, they would be reported in tax expense. Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. Derivative Warrant Liability Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise and certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with Earning per Share (Topic 260) Stock-based Compensation The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock-based compensation in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The guidance requires that stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period as services are being provided. (See Note 13, Equity Incentive Plan.) The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes Income Taxes The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU No. 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures |

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Basic and diluted net loss per common share calculation Net loss $ (28,978,763 ) $ (22,000,556 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic and diluted 134,250,722 114,533,102 Net loss per share of common stock — basic and diluted $ (0.22 ) $ (0.19 ) The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with Earnings per Share (“EPS”) (Topic 260) Warrants issued in April 2019, discussed further in Note 9, participate on a one-for-one basis with common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on the Company’s Common Stock. For purposes of computing EPS, these warrants were, when outstanding, considered to participate with common stock in the earnings of the Company and, therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income for the period is allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. No income was allocated to the warrants for the year ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as results of operations was a loss for these periods. In May 2020, these warrants were all exchanged for Common Stock or new warrants without such participation rights and are no longer outstanding (see Note 9). The following outstanding securities at March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as they would have been anti-dilutive: Year Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Stock options 12,588,068 11,815,982 Warrants 3,104,318 8,937,651 Total 15,692,386 20,753,633 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 7. Fair Value Measurements . The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of the warrant liability is discussed below. The Company had no material re-measurements of fair value with respect to financial assets and liabilities, during the periods presented, other than those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. The fair value measurement for the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of Common Stock from the underwritten registered offering that closed on April 2, 2019 (the “April 2019 Warrants”) and the warrant issued in conjunction with the Exchange Agreements (see Note 9 for transaction details) (the “May 2020 Warrant”) are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and are classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The fair value of the April 2019 Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model and included significant unobservable inputs including volatility and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring (see Note 9 for further discussion of the issuance of common stock from an underwritten registered offering). The fair value of the May 2020 Warrant was determined using the Black Scholes model and included significant unobservable inputs such as volatility. Both models incorporated several observable assumptions at each valuation date including: the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation, the remaining contractual term of the warrant and the risk free interest rate over the term. Transfers are calculated on values as of the transfer date. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The following table details key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the May 2020 Warrant as of March 31, 2021 using a Black Sholes model and April 2019 Warrants liability as of March 31, 2020 using the Monte Carlo simulation models: May 2020 Warrant April 2019 Warrants March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Stock price $ 1.78 $ 1.10 Volatility 78 % 60 % Remaining term (years) 3.01 4.01 Expected dividend yield — — Risk-free rate 0.35 % 0.33 % The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: Description Total Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) March 31, 2021 Warrant liability $ 1,931,921 — — $ 1,931,921 March 31, 2020 Warrant liability $ 3,639,000 — — $ 3,639,000 The following table summarizes activity for liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs: March 31, 2021 Beginning balance, March 31, 2020 $ 3,639,000 Change in fair value of April 2019 Warrant liability before May 20, 2020 Warrant Exchange 3,661,000 Less: fair value of April 2019 Warrants as of May 20, 2020 (7,300,000 ) Plus: fair value of May 2020 Warrant as of May 20, 2020 1,677,528 Change in fair value of May 2020 Warrant liability from May 20, 2020 to March 31, 2021 254,393 Ending balance, March 2021 $ 1,931,921 |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001. Shares of Company preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and/or classes, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Company’s Board prior to the issuance of any shares of such series or class. The Company preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited or no voting powers and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series or class of Company preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Company’s Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. No shares of Company preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 7, 2020, between the Company and Eagle (the “Eagle SPA”), the Company designated and reserved 10,000 shares as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock shares rank senior to the Company’s common stock and have no voting rights. The shares, if issued, would be convertible into common stock and will have a conversion ratio equal to the quotient of $1,000 divided by an amount equal to 1.15 times the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for the seven trading days immediately following announcement of the Milestone Event (as defined in the SPA). Common Stock Voting Each holder of Company common stock is entitled to one vote for each share thereof held by such holder at all meetings of stockholders (and written action in lieu of meetings). The number of authorized shares of Company common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of majority of the combined number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Dividends Dividends may be declared and paid on the Company common stock from funds lawfully available therefore, as and when determined by the Board. Liquidation In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, holders of Company common stock will be entitled to receive all assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders. April 2019 - Registered Offering In April 2019, the Company completed an underwritten registered offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $1.50 per share. The total net proceeds of the offering were $11.3 million after deducting underwriter’s discounts and before expenses related to the offering. As part of the offering, the investors received warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “April 2019 Warrants”). The April 2019 Warrants, prior to the exchange, discussed below, participated with Common Stock on a one-for-one basis for distribution dividends or other assets of the Company. Exchange Agreements On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders (the “Holders”) of the April 2019 Warrants. The April 2019 Warrants were offered and issued pursuant to the Company’s previous shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211489). Pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement (a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period. The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include the price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant. The April 2019 Warrants were remeasured as of May 20, 2020, before the exchange, using the Monte Carlo pricing simulation resulting in a fair value of approximately $7.3 million, and the change in fair value from March 31, 2020 to the fair value before the exchange of approximately $3.7 million expense was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2021. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: $1.70 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.28% risk free rate and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring. The change in fair value of the April 2019 Warrants was $3.6 million in income for the year ended March 31, 2020 and recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations. At May 20, 2020, the fair value of the 2,406,250 shares issued under the Share Exchange Agreements was approximately $3.4 million, which resulted in a gain on exchange of approximately $1.9 million. The exercise price of the May 2020 Warrant is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock . The Company determined that the May 2020 Warrant should be recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet due to the May 2020 Warrant’s contractual provisions requiring issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. As of the issuance date of May 20, 2020, the May 2020 Warrant was recorded at the fair value of $1.7 million as determined using the Black Scholes model. The change in fair value before and after the exchange of $0.3 million was recorded as a gain on warrant exchange as a component of other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Black Scholes model were as follows: $1.64 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.27% risk free rate and 7% discount for lack of marketability. The change in fair value of the May 2020 Warrant from May 20, 2020 through March 31, 2021 of $0.3 million expense was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following summarizes the common stock warrant activity for the years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020: Warrant Shares of Common Stock Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at March 31, 2019 4,499,603 $ 3.42 Granted 8,000,000 2.00 Exercised (78,431 ) 3.00 Expired (3,483,521 ) 3.00 Outstanding at March 31, 2020 8,937,651 $ 2.31 Granted 2,166,667 1.80 Exchanged (8,000,000 ) 2.00 Outstanding at March 31, 2021 3,104,318 $ 2.77 In May 2020, April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of common stock were exchanged on a cashless basis for 2,406,250 shares and April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 of common stock were exchanged for a May 2020 Warrant to purchase the same number of shares. At March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, 3,074,551 and 8,907,884,respectively, of common stock purchase warrants relating to securities purchase agreements were outstanding and exercisable.

As indicated in an amendment to the Sale Agreement, the shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-245033). Any sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company raised approximately $6.1 million of gross proceeds via sale of 4,453,939 shares of Common Stock under the Jefferies ATM and incurred $0.3 million of related costs which offset the proceeds. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company raised approximately $1.7 million in gross proceeds via sale of 1,361,315 shares of Common Stock and incurred $0.2 million of related costs which offset the proceeds. At March 31, 2021, there remained approximately $22.2 Securities Purchase Agreement On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle entered into the Eagle SPA, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of ( i) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the PanCAN Precision Promise SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) FDA approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement. Registered Direct Offering On February 8, 2021, the Company closed on its registered direct offering with several healthcare-focused institutional and other institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Shares were sold at a purchase price of $2.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $100 million, prior to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by TYME. The Company incurred $6.2 million of related costs which offset such proceeds. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2020 and was declared effective on September 2, 2020 (Reg. No. 333-245033). H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. |

Contract Service Providers In the course of the Company’s normal business operations, it enters into agreements and arrangements with contract service providers to assist in the performance of its research and development and clinical research activities. On April 1, 2020, the Company amended the Clinical Research Funding and Drug Supply Agreement, dated October 9, 2018, with PanCAN, to enroll individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a platform style clinical research study. Stage 1 of the study was initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. As of March 31, 2021, after taking into consideration amounts already incurred, the remaining expense to the Company for Stage 1, which primarily consists of patient treatment costs, is approximately $4.5 million, subject to enrollment adjustments, and is expected to be incurred over the next one and a half years. Purchase Commitments The Company has entered into Legal Proceedings The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against it that it believes could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business, operating results or financial condition. From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company would accrue a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company would not record a liability, but instead would disclose the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made.

ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. Payments for additional monthly fees to cover the Company's share of certain facility expenses are not included in operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. The Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate of 11.0% to calculate the present value of its lease payments, as the implicit rate in the lease was not readily determinable. As of March 31, 2021, the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating lease agreements for which the Company has recognized operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities were as follows: March 31, 2021 Fiscal year 2022 $ 41,202 Fiscal year 2023 43,164 Total remaining lease payments 84,366 Less: present value adjustment (8,452 ) Total operating lease liabilities 75,914 Less: current portion (34,658 ) Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion $ 41,256 |

Equity Incentive Plan | Note 13. Equity Incentive Plan. On March 5, 2015, the Company’s Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved, the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Awards under the 2015 Plan may include, but need not be limited to, one or more of the following: options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance grants, stock bonuses, and any other type of award deemed by the administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the 2015 Plan. The exercise price of all options awarded under the 2015 Plan must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company common stock as determined on the date of the grant and have a term of no greater than ten years from the date of grant. In February 2018, the 2015 Plan was amended making available 12.5% of shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of March 31, 2021, there were 2,485,717 shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan. On August 23, 2018 the stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2016 Director Plan”), which: (i) increased the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2016 Director Plan by 2,000,000 shares to 2,750,000 shares: (ii) made “Initial Grants” upon a director’s initial appointment to the Board consisting of an immediate stock option grant of 100,000 shares at fair market value; and (iii) made “Annual Grants” for members who continue in service as members of the Board subsequent to each annual meeting of stockholders occurring subsequent to an Initial Grant, an annual stock option grant of 50,000 shares at fair market value. The Initial Grants and Annual Grants have a ten year term, subject to applicable termination or forfeiture provisions, and vest in equal quarterly increments over a one-year period from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2021, there were 889,167 shares available for grant under the 2016 Director Plan. Stock Options As of March 31, 2021, and 2020, there was approximately $3.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation related to non-vested stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average remaining amortization period of 2.8 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. For employees and non-employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which approximates the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating forfeitures as of an award’s grant date. The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using the method described under ASC 718 using a blend of the Company’s expected volatility and those of similar companies. The expected term of options granted to employees, non-employees and consultants in the current fiscal period has been based on the term by using the simplified “plain-vanilla” method as allowed under SAB No. 110 and ASU 2018-7. The assumptions utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options granted are presented in the following table: Year Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Risk free interest rate 0.174% - 0.527% 0.304% - 2.38% Expected volatility 88.02% - 101.67% 71.65% - 78.95% Expected term 2.8 - 6.1 years 2.5 - 6 years Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s stock options under the 2015 Plan and 2016 Director Plan as of March 31, 2021: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at March 31, 2020 11,815,982 $ 3.43 Granted 5,568,000 1.24 Exercised (2,028,203 ) 2.64 Cancelled/Forfeited (2,767,711 ) 1.93 Outstanding at March 31, 2021 12,588,068 2.92 Options exercisable at March 31, 2021 8,232,897 $ 3.77 Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.89 and $0.96, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2021, holders of options issued under the equity incentive plans exercised their rights to acquire an aggregate of 2,028,203 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.64. The total proceeds to the Company from these option exercises were $5.4 million. There were no option exercises during the year ended March 31, 2020.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 14. Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740. Under ASC 740, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has not recorded a current or deferred income tax expense or benefit since its inception. The Company’s loss before income taxes was $29.0 million and $22.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was generated entirely in the United States. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are comprised of the following: March 31, 2021 2020 Net operating loss carryforward $ 20,123,621 $ 14,562,024 Research and development credit carryforward 1,164,895 1,804,233 Orphan Drug Credit 2,002,559 — Stock options - NQSOs 5,267,351 5,877,971 Accruals and other temporary differences 595,418 825,696 Gross deferred tax assets 29,153,844 23,069,924 Deferred tax valuation allowance (29,153,844 ) (23,069,924 ) Net deferred taxes $ — $ — Based on the Company’s history of operating losses since inception and consideration of available positive and negative evidence, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the benefit of its deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021. The valuation allowance increased by $6.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the increase in the net operating loss carryforward and Orphan Drug credit. A reconciliation of income tax benefit computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes as reflected in the financial statements is as follows: Year Ended March 31, 2021 2020 U.S. statutory income tax rate 21.00 % 21.0 % Permanent differences (0.02 )% 3.30 % Tax credit carryforwards 4.70 % 4.40 % Valuation allowance (20.98 )% (28.70 )% Stock compensation (3.41 )% — Warrants (1.29 )% — Effective tax rate — % — % Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. NOL and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of a 50% cumulative change in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as similar state tax provisions. This could limit the amount of NOLs that the Company can utilize annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation, if any, will be determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. The Company has completed several financing transactions since its inception which may have resulted in a change in control as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, or could result in a change in control in the future. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 318,394 $ 126,838 Increases (decreases) for tax positions in prior period (99,063 ) 70,293 Increase for tax positions in current period 339,631 121,263 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 558,962 $ 318,394 As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $559,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, which were offset with the net operating loss and valuation allowance on the consolidated balance sheets. None of the gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate at March 31, 2021, if recognized. In addition, the Company did not record any penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any positions for which it is reasonably possible that there will be significant increase or decrease in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, and various state jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the period January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2021. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Note 15. Subsequent Events. The Company evaluates events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of consolidated financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. TYME-88-PANC (third-line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer) In June 2021, following a comprehensive strategic review, the Company announced that it has decided to stop enrollment of the TYME-88-PANC (third-line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer) trial, and begin the process of closing down the trial. As previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted enrollment of this trial such that it appears it is likely to complete enrollment in a similar timeline to the second-line Precision Promise pancreatic cancer trial. There has also been a significantly higher than expected dropout of patients randomized to the chemotherapy control arm, which could potentially impact the interpretative and regulatory utility of the data. Patients currently on therapy will be allowed to continue treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The estimated costs to close the trial are $2.0 million to $3.0 million and are expected to extend into fiscal year 2023. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary, Tyme, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors. Current Economic Conditions |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimation include the calculation of the stock-based compensation and warrant valuation. Actual results could differ from such estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $107.5 million at March 31, 2021 and $26.7 million at March 31, 2020. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited with major banks and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company exceeded the FDIC limit of $250,000 by $107.3 million at March 31, 2021 and $26.4 million at March 31, 2020. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company established an investment policy and invested in a portfolio of highly liquid investments and marketable securities. The primary objectives of the Company’s policy are to preserve capital and diversify risk, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow requirements. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company records certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (observable inputs) and the lowest priority to the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Fair value measurements should be disclosed separately by level within the fair value hierarchy. For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with established fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data are based primarily upon estimates, and often are calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as assets held for sale and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates fair value given their short-term nature. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of warrant liability is discussed in Note 7. |
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets | Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses represent expenditures made in advance of when the economic benefit of the cost will be realized, and which will be expensed in future periods with the passage of time. Prepaid expenses and other current assets includes $1.0 million and $0.8 million of prepaid insurance as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company estimates a life of three years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include fixed assets and operating lease right of use assets, whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If indicators of impairment exist, projected future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to its carrying amount to determine whether the asset’s value is recoverable. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operating results. For the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that there were no triggering events requiring an impairment analysis. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of, but not limited to, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and consultants that conduct clinical and preclinical studies, costs associated with preclinical and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations, depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities and employee related expenses, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical studies, are accrued, over the service period specified in the contract and recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to us by our vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as prepaid or accrued expense. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States, for federal and various state jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the income tax expense. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. 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. A valuation allowance is provided when, after consideration of available positive and negative evidence that it is not more likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax assets will be realizable. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions. ASC 740 “Income Taxes” states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. When and if the Company were to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, they would be reported in tax expense. |
Segment Information | Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. |
Derivative Warrant Liability | Derivative Warrant Liability Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise and certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with Earning per Share (Topic 260) |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock-based compensation in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The guidance requires that stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period as services are being provided. (See Note 13, Equity Incentive Plan.) The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes Income Taxes The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU No. 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures |
Fair Value Measurements | The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of the warrant liability is discussed below. The Company had no material re-measurements of fair value with respect to financial assets and liabilities, during the periods presented, other than those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. The fair value measurement for the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of Common Stock from the underwritten registered offering that closed on April 2, 2019 (the “April 2019 Warrants”) and the warrant issued in conjunction with the Exchange Agreements (see Note 9 for transaction details) (the “May 2020 Warrant”) are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and are classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The fair value of the April 2019 Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model and included significant unobservable inputs including volatility and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring (see Note 9 for further discussion of the issuance of common stock from an underwritten registered offering). The fair value of the May 2020 Warrant was determined using the Black Scholes model and included significant unobservable inputs such as volatility. Both models incorporated several observable assumptions at each valuation date including: the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation, the remaining contractual term of the warrant and the risk free interest rate over the term. Transfers are calculated on values as of the transfer date. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The following table details key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the May 2020 Warrant as of March 31, 2021 using a Black Sholes model and April 2019 Warrants liability as of March 31, 2020 using the Monte Carlo simulation models: May 2020 Warrant April 2019 Warrants March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Stock price $ 1.78 $ 1.10 Volatility 78 % 60 % Remaining term (years) 3.01 4.01 Expected dividend yield — — Risk-free rate 0.35 % 0.33 % The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: Description Total Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) March 31, 2021 Warrant liability $ 1,931,921 — — $ 1,931,921 March 31, 2020 Warrant liability $ 3,639,000 — — $ 3,639,000 The following table summarizes activity for liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs: March 31, 2021 Beginning balance, March 31, 2020 $ 3,639,000 Change in fair value of April 2019 Warrant liability before May 20, 2020 Warrant Exchange 3,661,000 Less: fair value of April 2019 Warrants as of May 20, 2020 (7,300,000 ) Plus: fair value of May 2020 Warrant as of May 20, 2020 1,677,528 Change in fair value of May 2020 Warrant liability from May 20, 2020 to March 31, 2021 254,393 Ending balance, March 2021 $ 1,931,921 |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001. Shares of Company preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and/or classes, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Company’s Board prior to the issuance of any shares of such series or class. The Company preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited or no voting powers and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series or class of Company preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Company’s Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. No shares of Company preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 7, 2020, between the Company and Eagle (the “Eagle SPA”), the Company designated and reserved 10,000 shares as Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock shares rank senior to the Company’s common stock and have no voting rights. The shares, if issued, would be convertible into common stock and will have a conversion ratio equal to the quotient of $1,000 divided by an amount equal to 1.15 times the average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for the seven trading days immediately following announcement of the Milestone Event (as defined in the SPA). Common Stock Voting Each holder of Company common stock is entitled to one vote for each share thereof held by such holder at all meetings of stockholders (and written action in lieu of meetings). The number of authorized shares of Company common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of majority of the combined number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Dividends Dividends may be declared and paid on the Company common stock from funds lawfully available therefore, as and when determined by the Board. Liquidation In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, holders of Company common stock will be entitled to receive all assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders. April 2019 - Registered Offering In April 2019, the Company completed an underwritten registered offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $1.50 per share. The total net proceeds of the offering were $11.3 million after deducting underwriter’s discounts and before expenses related to the offering. As part of the offering, the investors received warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “April 2019 Warrants”). The April 2019 Warrants, prior to the exchange, discussed below, participated with Common Stock on a one-for-one basis for distribution dividends or other assets of the Company. Exchange Agreements On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders (the “Holders”) of the April 2019 Warrants. The April 2019 Warrants were offered and issued pursuant to the Company’s previous shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211489). Pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement (a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period. The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include the price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant. The April 2019 Warrants were remeasured as of May 20, 2020, before the exchange, using the Monte Carlo pricing simulation resulting in a fair value of approximately $7.3 million, and the change in fair value from March 31, 2020 to the fair value before the exchange of approximately $3.7 million expense was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2021. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: $1.70 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.28% risk free rate and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring. The change in fair value of the April 2019 Warrants was $3.6 million in income for the year ended March 31, 2020 and recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations. At May 20, 2020, the fair value of the 2,406,250 shares issued under the Share Exchange Agreements was approximately $3.4 million, which resulted in a gain on exchange of approximately $1.9 million. The exercise price of the May 2020 Warrant is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock . The Company determined that the May 2020 Warrant should be recorded as a derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheet due to the May 2020 Warrant’s contractual provisions requiring issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. As of the issuance date of May 20, 2020, the May 2020 Warrant was recorded at the fair value of $1.7 million as determined using the Black Scholes model. The change in fair value before and after the exchange of $0.3 million was recorded as a gain on warrant exchange as a component of other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Black Scholes model were as follows: $1.64 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.27% risk free rate and 7% discount for lack of marketability. The change in fair value of the May 2020 Warrant from May 20, 2020 through March 31, 2021 of $0.3 million expense was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following summarizes the common stock warrant activity for the years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020: Warrant Shares of Common Stock Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at March 31, 2019 4,499,603 $ 3.42 Granted 8,000,000 2.00 Exercised (78,431 ) 3.00 Expired (3,483,521 ) 3.00 Outstanding at March 31, 2020 8,937,651 $ 2.31 Granted 2,166,667 1.80 Exchanged (8,000,000 ) 2.00 Outstanding at March 31, 2021 3,104,318 $ 2.77 In May 2020, April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of common stock were exchanged on a cashless basis for 2,406,250 shares and April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 of common stock were exchanged for a May 2020 Warrant to purchase the same number of shares. At March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, 3,074,551 and 8,907,884,respectively, of common stock purchase warrants relating to securities purchase agreements were outstanding and exercisable.

As indicated in an amendment to the Sale Agreement, the shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-245033). Any sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company raised approximately $6.1 million of gross proceeds via sale of 4,453,939 shares of Common Stock under the Jefferies ATM and incurred $0.3 million of related costs which offset the proceeds. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company raised approximately $1.7 million in gross proceeds via sale of 1,361,315 shares of Common Stock and incurred $0.2 million of related costs which offset the proceeds. At March 31, 2021, there remained approximately $22.2 Securities Purchase Agreement On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle entered into the Eagle SPA, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of ( i) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the PanCAN Precision Promise SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) FDA approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement. Registered Direct Offering On February 8, 2021, the Company closed on its registered direct offering with several healthcare-focused institutional and other institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Shares were sold at a purchase price of $2.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $100 million, prior to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by TYME. The Company incurred $6.2 million of related costs which offset such proceeds. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2020 and was declared effective on September 2, 2020 (Reg. No. 333-245033). H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. |
