Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 . Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Reported amounts and note disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid securities with original maturities at the date of acquisition of ninety days or less. Investments with an original maturity of more than ninety days are considered short-term investments and have been classified by management as available-for-sale. These investments are classified as current assets, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date, which reflects management’s intention to use the proceeds from sales of these securities to fund its operations, as necessary. Such investments are carried at fair value, and the unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company invests its excess cash in accordance with its investment policy. The Company's investments are comprised primarily of commercial paper and debt instruments of financial institutions, corporations, U.S. government-sponsored agencies and the U.S. Treasury. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and short-term investments. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in connection with a collaboration and license agreement in accordance with the guidance of Revenue From Contracts With Customers, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 ("Topic 606"). Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. See Note 9 for a complete discussion of the revenue recognition for the Company’s collaboration and license agreement. Net loss per share Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common share equivalents outstanding, determined using the treasury stock method, are comprised of shares that may be issued under the Company’s stock option and warrant agreements. The following table presents the weighted-average number of common share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method, not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the securities: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Common stock options 2,487,135 2,215,086 2,398,467 1,835,879 Common stock warrants 9,826,743 11,817,700 10,412,385 11,568,961 Total 12,313,878 14,032,786 12,810,852 13,404,840 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a liability for lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset (representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , which provides entities an optional transition method to apply the new guidance as of the adoption date, rather than as of the earliest period presented. In transition, entities may also elect a package of practical expedients that must be applied in its entirety to all leases commencing before the effective date, unless the lease was modified, to not reassess (a) the existence of a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which effectively allows entities to carryforward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, using the optional transition method and electing the package of practical expedients described above on January 1, 2019. Due to the adoption, the Company recognized a new lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet for its operating lease of office and lab space of $367,000 on January 1, 2019, with a corresponding right-of-use asset of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments. See Note 11 for further discussion. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception . This ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related financial statement disclosures. On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements in Securities Act Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. Among the amendments is the requirement to present the changes in stockholders’ equity in the interim financial statements (either in a separate statement or footnote) in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The amendments are effective for all filings made on or after November 5, 2018. In light of the timing of effectiveness of the amendments and proximity of effectiveness to the filing date for most filers’ quarterly reports, the SEC indicated it would not object if the filer’s first presentation of the changes in stockholders’ equity is included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the effective date of the amendments. The Company began including a condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and has included a condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 herein. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 . The amendments provide guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under ASC 606. It also specifically (i) addresses when the participant should be considered a customer in the content of a unit of account, (ii) adds unit-of-account guidance in ASC 808 to align with guidance with ASC 606, and (iii) precludes presenting revenue from a collaborative arrangement together with revenue recognized under ASC 606 if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. The guidance in ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 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 . The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related financial statement disclosures. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value which have been classified as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy: • Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and • Level 3- Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. The following tables summarize the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): September 30, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Assets Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 3,078 $ 3,078 $ — Money market funds 88,826 88,826 — Total cash and cash equivalents 91,904 91,904 — Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury bills 32,954 32,954 — Corporate debt securities 180,848 — 180,848 Commercial paper 110,985 — 110,985 U.S. Agency bonds 37,521 — 37,521 Total short-term investments 362,308 32,954 329,354 Total $ 454,212 $ 124,858 $ 329,354 December 31, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Assets Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 3,731 $ 3,731 $ — Money market funds 28,963 28,963 — Total cash and cash equivalents 32,694 32,694 — Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury bills 3,771 3,771 — Corporate debt securities 111,916 — 111,916 Commercial paper 74,409 — 74,409 Total short-term investments 190,096 3,771 186,325 Total $ 222,790 $ 36,465 $ 186,325 The Company’s investments in Level 1 assets are valued based on publicly available quoted market prices for identical securities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The Company determines the fair value of Level 2 related securities with the aid of valuations provided by third parties using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools. These valuation models and analytical tools use market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, including matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids and/or offers. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018 |

BeiGene Agreement
BeiGene Agreement | 9 Months Ended |

Research and Development [Abstract] | |
BeiGene Agreement | BeiGene Agreement Terms of Agreement On January 7, 2018, the Company and BeiGene Ltd, ("BeiGene") entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and BeiGene agreed to collaboratively develop sitravatinib in Asia (excluding Japan and certain other countries), Australia and New Zealand (the “Licensed Territory”). Under the Agreement, the Company granted BeiGene an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sitravatinib in the Licensed Territory, with Mirati retaining exclusive rights for the development, manufacture and commercialization of sitravatinib outside the Licensed Territory. As consideration for the rights granted to BeiGene under the Agreement, BeiGene paid the Company a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front fee of $10.0 million . BeiGene is also required to make milestone payments to the Company of up to an aggregate of $123.0 million upon the first achievement of specified clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. The Agreement additionally provides that BeiGene is obligated to pay to the Company royalties at tiered percentage rates ranging from mid-single digits to twenty percent on annual net sales of licensed products in the Licensed Territory, subject to reduction under specified circumstances. The Agreement also provides that the Company will supply BeiGene with sitravatinib for use in BeiGene’s development activities in the Licensed Territory. The Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of the last royalty term for the licensed products, which is the latest of (i) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim related to the licensed products under the Agreement, (ii) 10 years after the first commercial sale of a licensed product and (iii) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity as to a licensed product. BeiGene may terminate the Agreement at any time by providing 60 days prior written notice to the Company. Either party may terminate the Agreement upon a material breach by the other party that remains uncured following 60 days after the date of written notice of such breach or upon certain bankruptcy events. In addition, the Company may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to BeiGene under specified circumstances if BeiGene challenges the licensed patent rights. Revenue Recognition The Company evaluated the Agreement under Topic 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under the Agreement, the Company performed the following steps: (i) identified the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determined whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measured the transaction price, including any constraints on variable consideration; (iv) allocated the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognized revenue when (or as) the Company satisfied each performance obligation. The Company determined the transaction price is equal to the up-front fee of $10.0 million . The transaction price was allocated to the performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price estimated for each performance obligation. In estimating the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, the Company developed assumptions that require judgment and included forecasted revenues, expected development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success and costs for manufacturing clinical supplies. As such, of the up-front fee, the Company allocated $9.5 million to the license to the Company's intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, and $0.5 million to the initial obligation to supply sitravatinib for clinical development in the Licensed Territory. Licenses of Intellectual Property. The license to the Company’s intellectual property, bundled with the associated know-how, represents a distinct performance obligation. The license and associated know-how was transferred to BeiGene during the three months ended March 31, 2018, therefore during 2018 the Company recognized the full revenue amount of $9.5 million related to this performance obligation as license and collaboration revenues in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss; no revenue related to this performance obligation was recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019 . Manufacturing Supply Services. The Company's initial obligation to supply sitravatinib for clinical development in the Licensed Territory represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when BeiGene obtains control of the goods, upon delivery, over the period of the obligation, which began in late 2018 and will continue into 2020. The Company recognized $1.0 million as license and collaboration revenues for this performance obligation for the three months ended September 30, 2019 , primarily consisting of cost-sharing payments due from BeiGene. The Company recognized $2.8 million as license and collaboration revenues for this performance obligation for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , of which $2.6 million relates to cost-sharing payments due from BeiGene and $0.2 million relates to recognition from the deferred revenue balance. No revenue related to the manufacturing supply services obligation was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . At September 30, 2019 , $1.0 million of cost-sharing receivable from BeiGene was recorded in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Milestone Payments. The Company is entitled to development milestones under the agreement. The next clinical development milestone is for BeiGene initiating the first pivotal clinical trial in the Licensed Territory upon which the Company will be paid a $5.0 million milestone payment. The Company is also entitled to certain regulatory milestone payments which are paid upon receipt of regulatory approvals within the Licensed Territory. No milestone payments were earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018 . The Company evaluated whether the remaining milestones are considered probable of being reached and determined that the remaining potential milestone payments are probable of significant revenue reversal as their achievement is highly dependent on factors outside the Company's control. Therefore, these payments have been fully constrained and are not included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company will re-evaluate the probability of achievement of each milestone and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect the reported amount of license and collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment. Royalties. As the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which sales-based royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue when the related sales occur. No royalty revenue was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018 . The following table presents a summary of the activity in the Company's contract liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands): Opening balance, January 1, 2019 $ (481 ) Revenue from performance obligations satisfied during reporting period 174 Closing balance, September 30, 2019 $ (307 ) The closing balance represents deferred revenue and is classified within current liabilities at September 30, 2019 . |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies On June 24, 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement for completed office and laboratory space located in San Diego, California. The office space under the lease is the Company's corporate headquarters. The lease commenced in two phases (in July 2014 and March 2015) at a combined total initial monthly rent of $24,100 per month. The leased property is subject to a 3% annual rent increase following availability. In addition to such base monthly rent, the Company is obligated to pay certain customary amounts for its share of operating expenses and facility amenities. The original lease provided for expiration on January 31, 2018. On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Lease Agreement to amend the original lease agreement and to extend the term of the original lease for one year through January 31, 2019. On April 5, 2018, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement to extend the lease term through January 31, 2020. On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Lease Agreement to expand the size of the existing space for an additional base rent of $4,000 per month. Subsequently, on August 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Lease Agreement to extend the lease term to approximately October 1, 2020, and to expand the size of the existing space for no additional base rent. All other terms and covenants from the original lease agreement remain unchanged. The Company's building lease is considered to be an operating lease. The lease agreement indicates the interest rate applicable to the lease is 12% , therefore the Company used a discount rate of 12% to calculate the value of its lease obligations. The Company re-measured the operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability due to the Fourth Amendment to Lease Agreement. As of September 30, 2019 , the condensed consolidated balance sheet includes a $0.3 million operating right-of-use asset within other current assets, and a $0.3 million operating lease liability in deferred revenue and other current liabilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million in operating lease cost, respectively, and the building lease has a remaining lease term of approximately one year from September 30, 2019 . As of September 30, 2019 , remaining lease payments on an undiscounted basis are $0.1 million for 2019 and $0.3 million for 2020. On August 22, 2019, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for office and laboratory space located in San Diego, California, for the Company's future corporate headquarters. The commencement date of this lease is expected to be September 21, 2020 and will expire October 1, 2030, unless terminated earlier. The base rent for the Company under this lease will be approximately $3.8 million for the first year of the lease, which amount will increase by 3% per year over the lease term. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company had not taken control of the space and the lease term had not commenced. Accordingly, no |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 . |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Reported amounts and note disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed quarterly. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid securities with original maturities at the date of acquisition of ninety days or less. |
Short-term Investments | Investments with an original maturity of more than ninety days |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company invests its excess cash in accordance with its investment policy. The Company's investments are comprised primarily of commercial paper and debt instruments of financial institutions, corporations, U.S. government-sponsored agencies and the U.S. Treasury. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and short-term investments. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in connection with a collaboration and license agreement in accordance with the guidance of Revenue From Contracts With Customers, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 ("Topic 606"). Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. See Note 9 for a complete discussion of the revenue recognition for the Company’s collaboration and license agreement. |

New Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a liability for lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset (representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , which provides entities an optional transition method to apply the new guidance as of the adoption date, rather than as of the earliest period presented. In transition, entities may also elect a package of practical expedients that must be applied in its entirety to all leases commencing before the effective date, unless the lease was modified, to not reassess (a) the existence of a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which effectively allows entities to carryforward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, using the optional transition method and electing the package of practical expedients described above on January 1, 2019. Due to the adoption, the Company recognized a new lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet for its operating lease of office and lab space of $367,000 on January 1, 2019, with a corresponding right-of-use asset of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments. See Note 11 for further discussion. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception . This ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related financial statement disclosures. On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements in Securities Act Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. Among the amendments is the requirement to present the changes in stockholders’ equity in the interim financial statements (either in a separate statement or footnote) in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The amendments are effective for all filings made on or after November 5, 2018. In light of the timing of effectiveness of the amendments and proximity of effectiveness to the filing date for most filers’ quarterly reports, the SEC indicated it would not object if the filer’s first presentation of the changes in stockholders’ equity is included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the effective date of the amendments. The Company began including a condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and has included a condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 herein. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 . The amendments provide guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under ASC 606. It also specifically (i) addresses when the participant should be considered a customer in the content of a unit of account, (ii) adds unit-of-account guidance in ASC 808 to align with guidance with ASC 606, and (iii) precludes presenting revenue from a collaborative arrangement together with revenue recognized under ASC 606 if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. The guidance in ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 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 . The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related financial statement disclosures. |
