Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
The Company | 1. The Company Clearside Biomedical, Inc. (the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on revolutionizing the delivery of therapies to the back of the eye through the suprachoroidal space (SCS). Incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 26, 2011 , the Company has its corporate headquarters in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company’s activities since inception have primarily consisted of developing product and technology rights, raising capital and performing research and development activities. The Company has no current source of revenue to sustain present activities, and does not expect to generate meaningful revenue until and unless the Company's licensees successfully commercialize XIPERE, its other licensees receive regulatory approval and successfully commercialize such licensees' product candidates or the Company commercializes its product candidates either on its own or with a third party. The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to those of other life science companies at a similar stage of development, including, among others, the need to obtain adequate additional financing, successful development efforts including regulatory approval of products, compliance with government regulations, successful commercialization of potential products, protection of proprietary technology and dependence on key individuals. Liquidity The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 30.4 million as of December 31, 2021. On January 6, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional purchasers that purchased 4.2 million shares of its common stock in a registered direct offering at a price of $ 2.851 per share. The Company raised net proceeds of $ 11.1 million after deducting offering expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 2.9 million shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $ 12.2 million under its at-the-market agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC. In August 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Arctic Vision License Agreement (as defined in Note 10 - License and Other Agreements) to expand the territories covered by the license to include India and the ASEAN Countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). In September 2021, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Arctic Vision License Agreement to expand the territories covered by the license to include Australia and New Zealand. The Company received an aggregate of $ 3.0 million in consideration for the expansion of the licensed territory. On October 25, 2021, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") approved XIPERE (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) for the treatment of macular edema associated with uveitis, a form of eye inflammation. The Company received an aggregate of $ 9.0 million in milestone payments related to the approval of XIPERE from Arctic Vision (Hong Kong) Limited and Bausch + Lomb. In addition, in January 2022, the Company received a $ 10.0 million milestone payment from Bausch upon completion of pre-launch activities for XIPERE. The $ 10.0 million was recorded as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 and is included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021. Bausc h expects to launch XIPERE in the United States in the first quarter of 2022. In April 2020, we entered into a loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank under the terms of which Silicon Valley bank loaned us $ 1.0 million, or the PPP Loan, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, we used the proceeds primarily for payroll costs and other eligible expenses. The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. On January 11, 2021, we received notification from Silicon Valley Bank that the PPP loan was forgiven in full, including approximately $ 7,000 of accrued interest. The Company has funded its operations primarily through the proceeds from public offerings of its common stock, sales of convertible preferred stock and the issuance of long-term debt. The Company will continue to need to obtain additional financing to fund future operations, including completing the development, partnering and potential commercialization of its primary product candidates. The Company will need to obtain financing to conduct additional trials for the regulatory approval of its product candidates if requested by regulatory bodies, and completing the development of any product candidates that might be acquired. If such products were to receive regulatory approval, the Company would need to obtain additional financing to prepare for the potential commercialization of its product candidates, if the Company decides to commercialize the products on its own. The Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can obtain generate significant revenue from commercializing its first approved product, XIPERE (triamcinolone acetonide suprachoroidal injectable suspension formulated for administration to the back of the eye), with its licensees. In the absence of product or other revenues, the amount, timing, nature or source of which cannot be predicted, the Company’s losses will continue as it conducts its research and development activities. Based on its current plans and forecasted expenses, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of the filing date, March 11, 2022, will enable it to fund its planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second quarter of 2023. The Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and it could exhaust its capital resources sooner than expected. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, the accounting for useful lives to calculate depreciation and amortization, clinical trial expense accruals, share-based compensation expense and income tax valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Effects of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to result in a global slowdown of economic activity. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the financial statements. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). The Company’s primary revenue arrangements are license agreements which typically include upfront payments, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and royalties based on future product sales. The arrangements may also include payments for the Company’s SCS Microinjector devices as well as payments for assistance and oversight of the customer’s use of the Company’s technology. In determining the amount of revenue to be recognized under these agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identifies the promised goods and services to be transferred in the contract, (ii) identifies the performance obligations, (iii) determines the transaction price, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognizes revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company receives payments from its customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front and other payments may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs its obligations under the arrangement. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less. 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 operating segment. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, or for leasehold improvement the lesser of the useful life or remaining lease term. Repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income. Debt Discount All debt discounts are recorded against the related debt obligation and are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the underlying debt obligation and reflected in interest expense. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of cumulative net operating losses for the period from May 26, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2020. Due to its history of operating losses since inception and losses expected to be incurred in the foreseeable future, a full valuation allowance was considered necessary. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recognized based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires estimating and measuring the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The difference between the amount of recognizable tax benefit and the total amount of tax benefit from positions filed or to be filed with the tax authorities is recorded as a liability for uncertain tax benefits. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and include: • employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and share-based compensation expense for research and development personnel; • expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations and consultants that conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials; • costs associated with preclinical and clinical development activities; • costs associated with submitting regulatory approval applications for the Company’s product candidates; • costs associated with training physicians on the suprachoroidal injection procedure and educating and providing them with appropriate product candidate information; • costs associated with technology and intellectual property licenses; • costs for the Company’s research and development facility; and • depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trial activities, are recognized based on an evaluation of the estimated total costs for the clinical trial, progress to completion of specific tasks, using data such as patient enrollment, pass through expenses, clinical site activations, data from the clinical sites or information provided to the Company by its vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual contracts and any subsequent amendments, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as prepaid or accrued expenses. Share-Based Compensation Compensation cost related to share-based awards granted to employees, directors and consultants is measured based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock units granted is measured based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. Compensation cost related to shares purchased through the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, which is considered compensatory, is based on the estimated fair value of the shares on the offering date, including consideration of the discount and the look back period. The Company estimates the fair value of the shares using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the six-month withholding period prior to the purchase date. All share-based compensation costs are recorded in general and administrative or research and development costs in the statements of operations based upon the underlying employees’ roles within the Company. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less at the date of purchase. Restricted Cash The Company is required to maintain a stand-by letter of credit as a security deposit for its facility lease in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company’s bank requires the Company to maintain a restricted cash balance to serve as collateral for the letter of credit issued to the landlord by the bank. As of December 31, 2021, the restricted cash balance was invested in a commercial money market account. The current portion of the restricted cash is recorded in other current assets and the long-term portion is recorded in restricted cash. Concentration of Credit Risk Arising From Cash Deposits in Excess of Insured Limits The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risks with respect to its cash balances. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new ASU also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates. These changes aim to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures. |

The 2 nd A&R Loan Agreement provided for new term loans of up to $ 20.0 million, with a floating interest rate equal to 6.50 % plus the greater of (i) the 30-day U.S. LIBOR , as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month the immediately precedes the month in which the interest will accrue, or (ii) 1.89 %. The 2 nd A&R Loan Agreement included, among other things, the ability of the Lenders to accelerate the payment of the term loan in the event of a material adverse change and restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell, assign, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of its assets, including intellectual property assets, without the prior written consent of the Lenders. The Company borrowed an initial tranche of $ 10.0 million on May 14, 2018, of which $ 7.0 million was used to repay all amounts outstanding under a prior loan agreement, including fees associated with the final payment. The prepayment fees were waived. Of the remaining $ 10.0 million available under the 2 nd A&R loan agreement, the Company elected not to draw $ 5.0 million and the other $ 5.0 million was not available for draw . On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2 nd A&R Loan Agreement with the Lenders. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company repaid $ 5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the $ 10.0 million term loan. The Company did not pay any final payment or termination fees in connection with the $5.0 million prepayment. In addition, the Company and the Lenders agreed to modify the term loan repayment schedule. As amended, the term loan repayment schedule provided for interest only payments through October 31, 2020, followed by consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest in arrears continuing through the maturity date of October 1, 2022 . The Company had the option to prepay the outstanding balance in full, subject to a prepayment fee. A final payment of 5.50 % of the aggregate borrowed amount was due at maturity of the loan on October 1, 2022, or upon the prepayment of the facility or the acceleration of amounts due under the facility as a result of an event of default. The term loans under the 2 nd A&R loan agreement were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. On May 7, 2020, due to various restrictions and other limiting covenants of the 2 nd A&R Loan Agreement, the Company prepaid in full the outstanding $ 5.0 million principal balance, plus $ 0.3 million reflecting the final payment fee and accrued interest. The prepayment fees were waived by the Lenders. Interest expense on the borrowings under the loan agreements described above was $ 147,000 and $ 804,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Accretion of the scheduled final payment was $ 59,000 and $ 163,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Stock Options In January 2016, the Company’s board of directors adopted and approved the Clearside Biomedical, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) which became effective on June 1, 2016. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of share-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees, and for the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards and other forms of stock compensation to the Company’s employees, directors, and non-employee third parties. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 each year, through January 1, 2026, by 4 % of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2021, under the 2016 Plan, options to purchase 5,378,247 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding at a weighted average price of $ 4.13 per share and 382,788 shares remained available for future grant. As of January 1, 2022, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan was automatically increased by 2,388,917 shares, representing 4 % of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2021, increasing the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan as of that date to 2,771,705 shares. As a result of the adoption of the 2016 Plan, no further grants may be made under the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provided for the grant of share-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. At December 31, 2021, options to purchase 366,845 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2011 Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $ 2.94 per share. The Company has granted stock option awards to employees, directors and consultants. The total share-based compensation expense recognized is reflected in the statements of operations as follows (in thousands): Year Ended 2021 2020 2019 Research and development $ 1,570 $ 1,183 $ 1,379 General and administrative 1,985 1,574 2,728 Total $ 3,555 $ 2,757 $ 4,107 Share-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . The estimated fair value of options granted is determined as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting fair value is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. The following table sets forth the weighted average assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the underlying common stock for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Year Ended 2021 2020 2019 Expected term (years) 7.00 7.00 7.00 Expected stock price volatility 101.43 % 108.13 % 109.49 % Risk-free interest rate 0.75 % 1.52 % 2.49 % Expected dividend yield 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Expected term (in years): The Company utilized the simplified method as prescribed by ASC 718, as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise and post-vesting termination data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of stock options granted to employees. Risk-free interest rate : The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected time to a possible liquidity event. Expected dividend yield : The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected stock price volatility : The Company calculates expected volatility based on the historical volatility of its common stock. Forfeitures: The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

The weighted average fair values of all stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $ 3.24 per share, $ 1.97 per share and $ 1.09 per share, respectively. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price per share of the stock options. The fair market value per share of common stock as of December 31, 2021 was $ 2.75 , which was the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on that date. Restricted Stock Units The Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees under the 2016 Plan. The shares underlying the RSU awards have vesting terms of four years from the date of grant, subject to the employees’ continuous service and subject to accelerated vesting in specified circumstances. The fair value of the RSUs granted is measured based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. The total share-based compensation expense related to RSUs is reflected in the statements of operations as follows (in thousands): Year Ended 2021 2020 2019 Research and development $ 723 $ 375 $ 177 General and administrative 715 427 306 Total $ 1,438 $ 802 $ 483 The following table summarizes the activity related to RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2021: Weighted Average Number of Grant Date Shares Fair Value Non-vested RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2020 767,271 $ 1.78 Granted 965,344 4.01 Vested ( 415,268 ) 1.27 Non-vested RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2021 1,317,347 3.58 As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $ 3.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the RSUs, which amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In January 2016, the Company’s board of directors adopted and approved the Clearside Biomedical, Inc. 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2016 ESPP”) which became effective on June 1, 2016. The 2016 ESPP permits employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions up to 15 % of their earnings. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 ESPP will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, through January 1, 2026, by the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, (ii) 454,545 shares of common stock or (iii) a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors .

Income Taxes | 10. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Deferred tax asset (liability): Net operating loss carryforwards $ 53,966 $ 51,414 $ 46,305 Non-deductible accrued expenses 469 263 422 Right-of-use asset ( 96 ) ( 132 ) ( 138 ) Lease liability 176 247 264 Deferred revenue — 1,247 — Stock compensation expense 2,768 2,044 1,472 Depreciation differences ( 44 ) ( 82 ) ( 94 ) Federal tax credits 9,012 8,015 7,249 State tax credits 342 381 623 Disallowed interest expense — 7 99 Charitable contributions 6 — 4 Valuation allowance ( 66,599 ) ( 63,404 ) ( 56,206 ) Net deferred tax asset $ — $ — $ — A reconciliation of the statutory tax rates and the effective tax rates is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 U.S. federal tax rate 21.00 % 21.00 % 21.00 % State tax rate ( 599.32 ) 14.28 — Permanent difference ( 3.15 ) 1.42 ( 1.33 ) Tax credit ( 253.97 ) 2.89 2.06 Valuation allowance 847.82 ( 39.66 ) ( 21.73 ) ASC 740-10 ( 3.19 ) ( 0.26 ) — Adjustment to prior year tax provision ( 13.16 ) — — Other 3.97 — — 0.00 % ( 0.33 )% 0.00 % Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a valuation allowance of $ 66.6 million recorded against the benefit of certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was primarily related to federal and state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets, management considered, among other things, its deferred tax liabilities, its historical earnings and losses, projections of future income, and tax-planning strategies available to the Company in the relevant jurisdiction. The Company will release this valuation allowance when management determines that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax asset will be realized. At December 31, 2021, the Company had income tax NOL carryforwards for federal and state purposes of $ 234.4 million and $ 75.6 million, respectively. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for both federal and state NOL carryforwards of $ 49.2 million and $ 4.8 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal NOL carryforwards will begin to expire beginning in 2031 , and the state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2027 . Additionally, under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and beyond may be carried forward indefinitely. However, the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited beginning in 2021. Certain states have also adopted the indefinite carryforward period beginning with the 2018 tax year, but state conformity varies state by state. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recognized based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The difference between the amount of recognizable tax benefit and the total amount of tax benefit from positions filed or to be filed with the tax authorities is recorded as a liability for uncertain tax benefits. The following is a rollforward of the Company’s uncertain tax positions (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Balance of uncertain tax positions at the beginning of the year $ 7,568 $ 2,903 Gross increases - tax positions in prior period — 4,665 Gross decreases - tax positions in prior period ( 12 ) — Gross decreases - settlements with taxing authorities ( 36 ) — Balance of uncertain tax positions at the end of the year $ 7,520 $ 7,568 As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was $ 7.5 million and $ 7.6 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefit that if recognized would be in the form of a net operating loss carryforward, which is expected to require a full valuation allowance based on present circumstances. The Company reversed $ 48,000 of previously recorded unrecognized tax expenses for the year 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax expenses and penalties as income tax expense. No significant amounts of interest or penalties have been recorded as of December 31, 2021. Ownership changes, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), may limit the amount of net operating losses that a company may utilize to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Code, an ownership change occurs when the stock ownership of 5% stockholders increases by more than 50% over a testing period of three years. It is possible that the Company has undergone an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Code or that the Company may undergo such a change in the future. Any such ownership change may limit the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s tax returns for 2018, 2019 and 2020 are subject to full examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is generally no longer subject to state or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018, except to the extent of NOLs generated in prior years claimed on a tax return. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies Lease Commitment Summary The Company leases its facilities and some of its equipment under noncancelable operating lease arrangements that expire at various dates through 2023. In November 2016, the Company signed an office lease agreement to lease approximately 20,000 square feet of office space in Alpharetta, Georgia for its corporate headquarters. The lease agreement is for a six and one-half year term with a renewal option for one additional five-year term. Rental payments are $ 35,145 per month subject to an increase of 3 % per year. Operating lease cost under this lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, the lease agreement requires payment of the pro-rata share of the annual operating expenses associated with the premises. In August 2018, the Company signed an office lease agreement to lease approximately 3,500 square feet of office space in Berkeley, California for its commercial operations. The lease agreement was for a two-year term with a renewal option for an additional one-year term. The Company did not exercise the renewal option for the Berkeley lease and terminated the lease on December 15, 2019 , with no further payments due. The termination of the lease did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of operations. Operating lease cost under this lease was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company also paid a pro-rata share of the annual operating expenses associated with the premises. The Company’s operating leases included on the balance sheet are as follows (in thousands): December 31, Operating lease right-of-use asset $ 369 Liabilities Current portion of operating lease liabilities $ 387 Operating lease liabilities 288 Total operating lease liabilities $ 675 The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, which represents the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments over the lease term. The renewal option is not included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and the lease liabilities as the Company has not yet determined if the Alpharetta, Georgia lease will be renewed. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using an incremental borrowing rate as the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate was 11.0 % and the remaining lease term was 1.75 years. Minimum lease payments were as follows at December 31, 2021 (in thousands): Year ending December 31, 2022 $ 407 2023 316 Total minimum lease payments 723 Less imputed interest ( 48 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 675 Equipment leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded with operating lease liabilities. The Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The equipment leases were deemed to be immaterial. Operating lease cost was $ 247,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and $ 393,000 for the year ended 2019. Variable lease cost was $ 95,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and $ 83,000 for the year ended 2019. Short-term lease cost was $ 8,000 , $ 12,000 and $ 20,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Contract Service Providers In the course of the Company’s normal business operations, it has agreements with contract service providers to assist in the performance of its research and development, clinical research and manufacturing. Substantially all of these contracts are on an as needed basis. In May 2018, the Company entered into a manufacturing supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”), with Gerresheimer Regensburg GmbH, a company incorporated under the laws of Germany (“Gerresheimer”). Gerresheimer will manufacture and supply the Company’s proprietary SCS Microinjector. The Company will provide Gerresheimer with a rolling forecast schedule of its projected purchase orders for at least the next four calendar quarters.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income (Loss) Per Share | 14. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration of the dilutive effect of potential common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during this period. For periods in which the Company incurred net losses, common stock equivalents were excluded which included stock options, unvested restricted stock and stock purchase warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have the effect of reducing the net loss per share. Therefore, the denominator used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same in all periods presented. Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Net income (loss) - basic and diluted $ 376 $ ( 18,210 ) $ ( 30,770 ) Weighted average shares - basic 58,491,986 46,506,540 38,170,830 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 1,058,134 — — Restricted stock 342,943 — — ESPP 13,539 — — Weighted average shares - diluted 59,906,602 46,506,540 38,170,830 Net income (loss) per share - basic $ 0.01 $ ( 0.39 ) $ ( 0.81 ) Net income (loss) per share - diluted $ 0.01 $ ( 0.39 ) $ ( 0.81 ) The Company’s potential common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for all periods presented because of their antidilutive effect consisted of the following: Year Ended 2021 2020 2019 Outstanding stock options 4,704,194 4,248,193 4,104,450 Non-vested restricted stock units 974,404 767,271 1,269,300 Stock purchase warrants 29,796 29,796 29,796 5,708,394 5,045,260 5,403,546 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, the accounting for useful lives to calculate depreciation and amortization, clinical trial expense accruals, share-based compensation expense and income tax valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Effects of COVID-19 | Effects of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to result in a global slowdown of economic activity. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the financial statements. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). The Company’s primary revenue arrangements are license agreements which typically include upfront payments, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and royalties based on future product sales. The arrangements may also include payments for the Company’s SCS Microinjector devices as well as payments for assistance and oversight of the customer’s use of the Company’s technology. In determining the amount of revenue to be recognized under these agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identifies the promised goods and services to be transferred in the contract, (ii) identifies the performance obligations, (iii) determines the transaction price, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognizes revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company receives payments from its customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front and other payments may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs its obligations under the arrangement. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less. |
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 operating segment. |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, or for leasehold improvement the lesser of the useful life or remaining lease term. Repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income. |
Debt Discount | Debt Discount All debt discounts are recorded against the related debt obligation and are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the underlying debt obligation and reflected in interest expense. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of cumulative net operating losses for the period from May 26, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2020. Due to its history of operating losses since inception and losses expected to be incurred in the foreseeable future, a full valuation allowance was considered necessary. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are recognized based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Once it is determined that the position meets the recognition threshold, the second step requires estimating and measuring the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The difference between the amount of recognizable tax benefit and the total amount of tax benefit from positions filed or to be filed with the tax authorities is recorded as a liability for uncertain tax benefits. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and include: • employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and share-based compensation expense for research and development personnel; • expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations and consultants that conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials; • costs associated with preclinical and clinical development activities; • costs associated with submitting regulatory approval applications for the Company’s product candidates; • costs associated with training physicians on the suprachoroidal injection procedure and educating and providing them with appropriate product candidate information; • costs associated with technology and intellectual property licenses; • costs for the Company’s research and development facility; and • depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trial activities, are recognized based on an evaluation of the estimated total costs for the clinical trial, progress to completion of specific tasks, using data such as patient enrollment, pass through expenses, clinical site activations, data from the clinical sites or information provided to the Company by its vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual contracts and any subsequent amendments, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as prepaid or accrued expenses. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation Compensation cost related to share-based awards granted to employees, directors and consultants is measured based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock units granted is measured based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. Compensation cost related to shares purchased through the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, which is considered compensatory, is based on the estimated fair value of the shares on the offering date, including consideration of the discount and the look back period. The Company estimates the fair value of the shares using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized over the six-month withholding period prior to the purchase date. All share-based compensation costs are recorded in general and administrative or research and development costs in the statements of operations based upon the underlying employees’ roles within the Company. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less at the date of purchase. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company is required to maintain a stand-by letter of credit as a security deposit for its facility lease in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company’s bank requires the Company to maintain a restricted cash balance to serve as collateral for the letter of credit issued to the landlord by the bank. As of December 31, 2021, the restricted cash balance was invested in a commercial money market account. The current portion of the restricted cash is recorded in other current assets and the long-term portion is recorded in restricted cash. |
Concentration of Credit Risk Arising From Cash Deposits in Excess of Insured Limits | Concentration of Credit Risk Arising From Cash Deposits in Excess of Insured Limits The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risks with respect to its cash balances. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new ASU also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates. These changes aim to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures. |
