Accounting Policies [Abstract] | | |
Liquidity Disclosure [Policy Text Block] | Liquidity and Financial Condition | Liquidity and Financial Condition |
The Company incurred net losses of $1,712,000 and $5,137,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and $658,000 and $2,129,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the Company’s working capital and accumulated deficit were $11,194,000 and $8,806,000, respectively. The Company has not yet achieved profitability and it is expected that its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. | The Company incurred a net loss of $3,118,000 and $523,000 for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s working capital and accumulated deficit were $14,627,000 and $3,669,000, respectively. The Company has not yet achieved profitability and it is expected that research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. |
The Company believes that its existing cash, which includes the proceeds from its initial public offering (“IPO”), will be sufficient to fund its operations through the quarter ending March 31, 2016. However, in order for the Company to execute its research and development strategy and to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to commercialize RUT58-60 as a drug in the United States, the Company will need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means. The Company has not secured any commitment for new financing at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash. | Subsequent to March 31, 2014, in connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined in Note 6) by the lead underwriter in the Company’s IPO, 154,290 shares of common stock were sold for $1,028,000 of aggregate gross proceeds to the Company. The Company believes that its existing cash, which includes the proceeds from its IPO, will be sufficient to fund its operations into the quarter ending December 31, 2015. However, in order for the Company to execute its research and development strategy and to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to commercialize RUT58-60 as a drug in the United States, the Company will need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means. |

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | 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 disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets and the expense allocations relating to the Company’s operations prior to its deconsolidation from Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (“Oculus” or “Former Parent”) on March 26, 2014. | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include the expense allocations from the Former Parent and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. |

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | | Concentration of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include amounts held as cash. Cash is maintained in financial institutions located in the United States. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these financial institutions for amounts in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. |
| | |
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | | Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities |
Financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. |
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions). |
| | |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease. Estimated useful asset life by classification is as follows: |
|
| | |
| | Years |
Office Equipment | | 3 |
Manufacturing, lab and other equipment | | 5 |
Furniture and fixtures | | 7 |
Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. |
| | |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company periodically reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that their carrying values may exceed their realizable values, and records impairment charges when considered necessary. Specific potential indicators of impairment include, but are not necessarily limited to: |
| • | a significant decrease in the fair value of an asset; |
| • | a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used or a significant physical change in an asset; |
| • | a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that affects the value of an asset; |
| • | an adverse action or assessment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or another regulator; |
| • | an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct an asset; and operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with an income-producing asset. |
When circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred, the Company tests such assets for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of such assets and their eventual disposition to their carrying amounts. In estimating these future cash flows, assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other such groups. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value, will be recognized. The cash flow estimates used in such calculations are based on estimates and assumptions, using all available information that management believes is reasonable. |

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee and director services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is granted. The Company amortizes the fair value of employee awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards with performance conditions if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period for awards with performance conditions and adjusts stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment. | The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee and director services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award.

The Company amortizes the fair value of employee stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock awards. |
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the requisite service period. | The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date.

Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | | Research and Development |
Research and development expense is charged to operations as incurred and consists primarily of personnel expenses, clinical and regulatory services and supplies. |

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss per Share |
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods, as applicable. | The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities.

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: | As of March 31, 2014, outstanding stock warrants to purchase 3,140,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their impact would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2013, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding. |

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. |
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. |
Tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return are recorded in the Company’s financial statements. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Uncertain tax positions have had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.” This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt this ASU effective with this Annual Report on Form 10-K and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures. |
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The guidance, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under U.S. GAAP. The Company does not believe adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on its condensed financial statements. | | | |
