(Aurinia or the Company) is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering therapies to treat targeted patient populations that are impacted by serious diseases with a high unmet medical need. In January 2021, the Company introduced LUPKYNIS ® (voclosporin), the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved oral therapy for the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) and continues to conduct pre-clinical, clinical, and regulatory activities to support the voclosporin development program as well as our other assets. On August 17, 2021, the Company announced the addition of two novel assets AUR200 and AUR300. AUR200 and AUR300 are currently undergoing pre-clinical development with projected submission of Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs) to the FDA in 2023. On September 15, 2022, the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization of LUPKYNIS to Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka). The centralized marketing authorization is valid in all European (EU) member states as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Northern Ireland. Aurinia's head office is located at #1203-4464 Markham Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and its registered office is located at #201, 17873-106 A Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aurinia Pharma U.S., Inc. (Delaware incorporated) and Aurinia Pharma Limited (UK incorporated). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and operate in one segment. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars which is the Company's functional currency, therefore, there is no currency translation adjustment upon consolidation as the remeasurement of gains or losses are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are remeasured at the average exchange rate during the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of a foreign currency denominated monetary item are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Significant Accounting Policies Other than as described below, the Company's significant accounting policies have not changed from those previously described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Restricted cash : Restricted cash consists of the 2021 Employee Share Purchase Plan (2021 ESPP) deposits of $0.7 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Major Customers: The Company currently has two main customers for U.S. commercial sales of LUPKYNIS and a collaboration partner for sales of LUPKYNIS in the EU, Japan, as well as the United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, Belarus, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Ukraine (collectively, the "Otsuka Territories"). Revenues from the two main customers in the U.S. accounted in total of approximately 48% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of the Company's total revenues. Our collaboration partner for sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 52% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of the Company's total revenues. In late March 2022, we provided a nominal additional discount to both of our two main U.S. customers, applicable for the remainder of the 2022 calendar year, in connection with holding additional amounts of LUPKYNIS on hand due to supply chain concerns. Such discounts, or any future discounts, may result in reduced sales to these customers in subsequent periods and substantial fluctuations in our revenues from period to period. The Company monitors economic conditions, the creditworthiness of customers and government regulations and funding, both domestically and abroad. The Company regularly communicates with its customers regarding the status of receivable balances. Global economic conditions and customer specific factors may require the Company to periodically re-evaluate the collectability of its receivables and based on this evaluation the Company could potentially incur credit losses. Product Revenues In the United States (and territories), the Company sells LUPKYNIS primarily to specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors. These customers subsequently resell the Company's products to health care providers and patients. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which typically occurs upon delivery to the customer. Reserves for discounts and allowances: Product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to our customer) or a liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than our customer). The Company's estimates of reserves established for variable consideration are calculated based upon utilizing the expected value method. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Amounts related to such items are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. Significant judgment is required in estimating variable consideration. In making these estimates, we consider historical data, including patient mix and inventory sold to our customers that has not yet been dispensed. We use a data aggregator and historical claims to estimate variable consideration for inventory sold to our customers, including specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, that has not yet been dispensed. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results vary, the Company adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment. As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any material adjustments to estimates based on actual results. These specific adjustments are detailed further in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes development or commercial sales milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license, collaboration and other revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment. Any consideration related to sales-based royalties (and sales-based milestones) will be recognized when the related sales occur. As of September 30, 2022, we recognized $30.0 million for the regulatory milestone related to the EC marketing authorization of LUPKYNIS. Accounts receivable, net: Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The Company's accounts receivable represents amounts due to the Company from product sales and from its Otsuka collaboration agreement (Note 12). Milestone payments that have not been invoiced as of the balance sheet date are recorded as unbilled accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable, net are $41.8 million and $15.4 million. The accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2022 includes $28.8 million due from Otsuka related to the achievement of a regulatory milestone in September 2022, for which payment was received on October 31, 2022. The timing between the recognition of revenue for product sales and the receipt of payment is not significant. Our standard credit terms range from 30 to 45 days. We do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between the transfer of the promised good to the customer and receipt of payment will be one year or less. We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts using the current expected credit loss, or CECL, model. Under the CECL model, the allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the net amount expected to be collected from the account receivables. We evaluate the collectability of these cash flows based on the asset’s amortized cost, the risk of loss even when that risk is remote, losses over an asset’s contractual life, and other relevant information available to us. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $nil as of September 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021. Share-Based Compensation: The Company follows ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC 718), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value on the grant date using the graded accelerated vesting method for all share-based payments related to stock options, performance awards (PAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and purchases under the Company's 2021 ESPP. For stock options, forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For RSUs and PAs, forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which clarifies and simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for income taxes such as eliminating the exception to the general intraperiod tax allocation principle. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2021, with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires business entities to make annual disclosures about transactions with a government (including government assistance) by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. The required disclosures include the nature of the transaction, the entity's related accounting policy, the financial statement line items affected and the amounts reflected in the current period financial statements, as well as any significant terms and conditions. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2022, with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |

The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. Estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities are generally based on prices obtained from commercial pricing services. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from sources independent from the Company) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (the Company’s assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The following table summarizes the financial assets (cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis: September 30, 2022 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 86,052 $ — $ — $ 86,052 U.S. agency security — 4,904 — 4,904 Corporate bond — 98,068 — 98,068 Commercial paper 112,633 — — 112,633 Treasury bill — 26,704 — 26,704 Treasury bond — 44,553 — 44,553 Yankee bond — 3,730 — 3,730 Total financial assets $ 198,685 $ 177,959 $ — $ 376,644 December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 231,900 $ — $ — $ 231,900 Certificates of deposit — 3,140 — 3,140 Corporate bond — 21,820 — 21,820 Commercial paper 206,724 — — 206,724 Treasury bill — 2,494 — 2,494 Total financial assets $ 438,624 $ 27,454 $ — $ 466,078 The Company's Level 1 instruments include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and commercial paper that are valued using quoted market prices. We estimate the fair values of our investments in corporate debt securities, government and government related securities and certificates of deposits by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The fair value of our short-term investments classified within Level 2 is based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yield curves, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and reference data including market research publications. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining contractual maturities of our Level 1 and 2 investments were approximately for 7 months and 8 months, respectively. These investments have an overall rating of A-1, or higher, by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch. No credit loss allowance was recorded as of September 30, 2022, as we do not believe the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss due to the nature of our investments. We also considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted. Refer to Note 4, “Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments,” for the carrying amount and related unrealized gains (losses) by type of investment. |

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.7 million unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, respectively, which are included as a component of comprehensive loss on the consolidated statements of operations. Currently, the Company does not intend to sell investments that are in an unrealized loss position, and it is unlikely we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We have determined that the gross unrealized losses on our investments at September 30, 2022, were temporary in nature. Realized gains or losses were immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. |

Inventories, net | Inventories, netInventories are valued under a standard costing methodology on a first-in, first-out basis and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company capitalizes inventory costs related to products to be sold in the ordinary course of business. The Company makes a determination of capitalizing inventory costs for a product based on, among other factors, status of regulatory approval, information regarding safety, efficacy and expectations relating to commercial sales and recoverability of costs. Capitalized costs of inventories for LUPKYNIS mainly include third party manufacturing costs, transportation, storage, insurance, and allocated internal labor. The Company assesses recoverability of inventory each reporting period to determine any write-down to net realizable value resulting from excess or obsolete inventories. As of September 30, 2022, we have recorded reserves of finished goods inventories of approximately $2.7 million which were primarily related to process validation batches used for FDA approval.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lease Obligations | Lease Obligations The Company has the following lease obligations: Victoria, British Columbia During August 2020, the Company signed a lease for commercial office space in Victoria, British Columbia for a new corporate headquarters that was expected to commence in April 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company entered into 18-month facility and furniture leases for its existing corporate head office located in Victoria, British Columbia. The lease terms commenced on January 1, 2021 with an end date of August 31, 2022. On August 3, 2022, we provided notice of termination for the lease of the intended new corporate headquarters space in Victoria on the basis that the landlord's work was not completed by the time required under the lease. As a result of the termination, the company expensed $0.3 million of CIP cost that was related to the new corporate headquarters. On September 1, 2022, the fixed lease term ended for Aurinia's existing corporate headquarters and the Company exercised its right to enter into a month to month lease, of which expenses are incurred in SG&A. Rockville, Maryland During March 2020, the Company entered into a lease for its U.S. commercial office in Rockville, Maryland for a total of 30,531 square feet of office space. The lease has a remaining term of approximately 9 years and has an option to extend for two five-year periods after the initial term of 11 years has elapsed and has an option to terminate after seven years. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a right-of-use asset of $4.9 million and lease liability of $8.2 million included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a right of use asset of $5.2 million and lease liability of $8.6 million included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded leasehold improvement incentives in the amount of $2.3 million as additions to the lease liability. The lease term commenced on March 12, 2020. When measuring the lease liability, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at March 12, 2020. The incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liability on March 12, 2020 was 5.2% based on the financial position of the Company, geographical region and term of lease. Edmonton, Alberta As of September 30, 2022, the Company has a short term lease in Edmonton, Alberta in which expenses are recognized in SG&A. The lease is not material to the Company's financial position. The Company incurs variable lease costs under the existing Victoria and Rockville leases. These costs include operation and maintenance costs included in SG&A and are expensed as incurred. The variable lease costs are not material to the Company's financial position. The operating lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 are $0.2 million and $0.8 million for both periods respectively. The following table represents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate as of September 30, 2022: As of September 30, 2022 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (years) Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 8.9 5.22% The following table provides a summary of operating lease liabilities payments for the next five years and thereafter: (in thousands) Operating Lease Payments Remainder of 2022 $ 263 2023 1,061 2024 1,085 2025 1,110 2026 1,135 Thereafter 5,638 Total future minimum lease payments 10,292 Less: lease imputed interest (2,104) Total future minimum lease payments $ 8,188 On December 15, 2020, the Company entered into a collaborative agreement with Lonza to build a dedicated manufacturing facility within Lonza’s existing small molecule facility in Visp, Switzerland. The dedicated facility (also referred to as "monoplant") will be equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to provide cost and production efficiency for the manufacture of voclosporin, while expanding existing capacity and providing supply security to meet future commercial demand. Following U.S. regulatory approval of LUPKYNIS in January 2021, the Company has commenced a capital expenditure payment program for the monoplant totaling approximately CHF 21.0 million. The first capital expenditure payment was made in February 2021 of $11.8 million (CHF 10.5 million) and was treated as an upfront lease payment and recorded under other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The second payment is not due until the facility fulfills the required operational qualifications which is estimated to be during the first half of 2023. Upon completion of the monoplant, the Company will have the right to maintain sole dedicated use of the monoplant by paying a quarterly fixed facility fee. The Company expects to account for the arrangement as a finance lease under ASC 842. The present value of the minimum lease payments total approximately $73.0 million, beginning April 2023 and expiring in 2030, and are not included in the above table. |

License and Collaboration Agreement | License and Collaboration Agreements Otsuka Contract On December 17, 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Otsuka for the development and commercialization of oral LUPKYNIS in the Otsuka Territories. As part of the agreement, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $50.0 million for the license agreement and has the potential to receive up to $50.0 million in regulatory related milestones. The Company will provide semi-finished product of LUPKYNIS to Otsuka on a cost-plus basis, and will receive tiered royalties on future sales ranging from 10 to 20 percent (dependent on territory and achievement of sale thresholds) on net product sales by Otsuka, along with additional milestone payments based on the attainment of certain annual sales. In addition, certain collaboration services are to be provided to Otsuka on agreed upon rates. In furtherance of the collaboration and license agreement with Otsuka mentioned above, on August 1, 2022, the Company entered into a commercial supply agreement with Otsuka, formalizing the terms to supply semi-finished goods of LUPKYNIS to Otsuka in the Otsuka Territories, including capacity sharing of the monoplant. On September 15, 2022, the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization of LUPKYNIS. The centralized marketing authorization is valid in all EU member states as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Northern Ireland. The approval triggered a $30.0 million milestone to the Company, which was recognized as collaboration revenue in the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2022 and was subsequently received on October 31, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of collaboration service revenue from Otsuka. Riptide License On August 17, 2021, AUR300 (M2 macrophage modulation via CD206 binding) was secured through a global licensing and research agreement with Riptide Bioscience, Inc. (Riptide), a private company. As part of the agreement, in 2021 the Company paid Riptide an upfront license fee of $6.0 million which was expensed as research and development on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of 2022, Aurinia paid $4.0 million for the achievement of a one-time milestone. Additional payments are due upon certain development, clinical and regulatory milestones, and royalties will be payable upon commercialization. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Common Share | Net Loss per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. The numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share are as follows: Three months ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands, except per share data) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net loss $ (8,989) $ (50,255) $ (82,134) $ (147,644) Weighted average common shares outstanding 141,856 128,443 141,831 128,084 Net loss per common share (expressed in $ per share) $ (0.06) $ (0.39) (0.58) (1.15) The Company did not include the securities in the following table in the computation of the net loss per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive during each period: Nine months ended (in thousands) 2022 2021 Stock options 14,299 12,837 Unvested performance awards — 857 Unvested restricted units 2,098 201 Warrants — 1,012 16,397 14,907 |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation The Company's Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was adopted and approved by the Company's shareholders in June 2021, allows for an issuance of up to an aggregate of 23.8 million shares (inclusive of then outstanding awards) and provides for grants of stock options, performance awards, and restricted stock units (RSUs) that may be settled in cash and common shares. Also in June 2021, the Company's shareholders adopted and approved the Company's 2021 ESPP, which allows for the issuance of up to 2.5 million shares. The 2021 ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) but also permits the Company to include the employees, including non-United States employees, in offerings not intended to qualify under Section 423. The purpose of the 2021 ESPP is to provide eligible employees with opportunities to purchase the Company’s common shares at a discounted price. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company modified the 2021 ESPP for the current and future offerings. The new ESPP terms shortened the plan from four (4) purchases over a 24 month Offering Period to two (2) purchases over a 12 month offering period. Additionally, the ESPP now contains a rollover mechanism; that is, if the stock price on the purchase date is less than the offering price (as that is determined under the 2021 ESPP), that offering is then canceled and any participants are rolled into the new 12 month offering period at the lower price. As a result of the modification, $475 thousand of incremental expense was added to the estimated expense for the November 2022 and May 2023 purchase dates (to be amortized over the new 12 month offering period). Additionally, the originally scheduled purchase date in November 2023 is no longer planned given the new 12 month offering period; therefore, the modification also resulted in a “repurchase for no consideration” under ASC 718. The Company recognized an additional $651 thousand of unamortized expense for the cancelled November 2023 purchase, which was recorded during the second quarter of 2022. In addition to stock options, performance awards and RSUs granted under the Plan, the Company has granted certain stock options and RSUs as inducements material to new employees entering employment in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The inducements were granted outside of the Plan during 2022. Stock Options The Plan requires the exercise price of each option not to be less than the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the day immediately prior to the date of grant. The board of directors approves the vesting criteria and periods at its discretion. The options issued under the plan are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payments. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted. The Company considers historical volatility of its common shares in estimating its future stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options was based on the yield available on government benchmark bonds with an approximate equivalent remaining term at the time of the grant. The expected life is based upon the contractual term, taking into account expected employee exercise and expected post-vesting employment termination behavior. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021: 2022 2021 Annualized volatility 70 % 66 % Risk-free interest rate 2.01 % 0.38 % Expected life of options in years 5.0 years 4.0 years Estimated forfeiture rate 12.1 % 8.9 % Dividend rate 0.0 % 0.0% Fair value per common share option $ 6.60 $ 6.64 The following table summarizes the option award activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022: September 30, 2022 Number of shares (in thousands) Weighted average exercise price $ Outstanding - December 31, 2021 12,074 $ 12.84 Granted 3,809 11.25 Exercised (77) 6.47 Forfeited (1,507) 14.63 Outstanding - September 30, 2022 14,299 $ 12.26 Performance Awards and Restricted Stock Units On October 23, 2020, the Company issued 439,000 PAs to executive management of the Company whose vesting was contingent upon meeting specific performance metrics based on the results for the year ended December 31, 2021. Each PA which vested entitled the participant to receive common shares on the basis of the performance metrics set. On March 18, 2021 performance metrics were set and formally communicated. Therefore, March 18, 2021 was the grant date and the fair value on the grant date was $13.56. The PAs vested in 2022 and the participant was required to achieve at least one of the performance metrics to obtain the portion of the award associated with the metric. On August 6, 2021, the Company granted approximately 619,000 PAs and RSUs. The grant date for the PAs and RSUs was August 6, 2021 and the fair value on the grant date was $14.42 as this was the date performance measures were set and communicated to employees. The PAs vested on the employee's first anniversary of the grant date and the employee was required to achieve at least one of the performance metrics to obtain the portion of the award associated with the metric. The RSUs had no performance metrics and vested on the one year anniversary of the grant. During the 2022, the Company has granted RSUs and intends to grant RSUs throughout the year under the Plan, as well as inducements for certain new hires as discussed above. The RSUs are fair valued based on the market price of our common shares on the date of the grant.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 differed from the federal statutory rate applied to losses before income taxes primarily as a result of the mix of income, losses and valuation allowances. The Company recognized an income tax expense of approximately $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company recognized an income tax expense of approximately $8 thousand and $34 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The expense recognized for these periods is a result of income in certain jurisdictions and withholding taxes on foreign income. The Company currently has tax expense in certain jurisdictions that are not offset by tax benefits. The increase from prior periods was due to withholding taxes. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company was under examination by the Canadian Revenue Agency for years 2017 and 2018. In March 2022, the Company was notified by the Canadian Revenue Agency that the examination is now complete and there were no findings and as a result, there is no additional tax expense or benefit recognized in regards to the audit. There are no outstanding tax audits ongoing at September 30, 2022. |

Management believes the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. The Company's material commitments and contingencies have not changed in any material manner from those previously described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the quarterly report for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Other Funding Commitments In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations and other third parties for services to be provided to the Company. Generally, these agreements provide for termination upon notice, with specified amounts due upon termination based on the timing of termination and the terms of the agreement. The actual amounts and timing of payments under these agreements are uncertain and contingent upon the initiation and completion of services to be provided to the Company. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future periods. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash : Restricted cash consists of the 2021 Employee Share Purchase Plan (2021 ESPP) deposits of $0.7 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. |
Major Customers | Major Customers: The Company currently has two main customers for U.S. commercial sales of LUPKYNIS and a collaboration partner for sales of LUPKYNIS in the EU, Japan, as well as the United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, Belarus, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Ukraine (collectively, the "Otsuka Territories"). Revenues from the two main customers in the U.S. accounted in total of approximately 48% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of the Company's total revenues. Our collaboration partner for sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 52% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of the Company's total revenues. |
Product Revenues | Product Revenues In the United States (and territories), the Company sells LUPKYNIS primarily to specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors. These customers subsequently resell the Company's products to health care providers and patients. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which typically occurs upon delivery to the customer. Reserves for discounts and allowances: Product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to our customer) or a liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than our customer). The Company's estimates of reserves established for variable consideration are calculated based upon utilizing the expected value method. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Amounts related to such items are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. Significant judgment is required in estimating variable consideration. In making these estimates, we consider historical data, including patient mix and inventory sold to our customers that has not yet been dispensed. We use a data aggregator and historical claims to estimate variable consideration for inventory sold to our customers, including specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, that has not yet been dispensed. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results vary, the Company adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment. As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any material adjustments to estimates based on actual results. These specific adjustments are detailed further in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes development or commercial sales milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be |
Accounts receivable, net | Accounts receivable, net: Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The Company's accounts receivable represents amounts due to the Company from product sales and from its Otsuka collaboration agreement (Note 12). Milestone payments that have not been invoiced as of the balance sheet date are recorded as unbilled accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accounts receivable, net are $41.8 million and $15.4 million. The accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2022 includes $28.8 million due from Otsuka related to the achievement of a regulatory milestone in September 2022, for which payment was received on October 31, 2022. The timing between the recognition of revenue for product sales and the receipt of payment is not significant. Our standard credit terms range from 30 to 45 days. We do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between the transfer of the promised good to the customer and receipt of payment will be one year or less. |
Share-based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation: The Company follows ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC 718), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The Company records compensation expense based on the fair value on the grant date using the graded accelerated vesting method for all share-based payments related to stock options, performance awards (PAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and purchases under the Company's 2021 ESPP. For stock options, forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For RSUs and PAs, forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. |
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which clarifies and simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for income taxes such as eliminating the exception to the general intraperiod tax allocation principle. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2021, with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires business entities to make annual disclosures about transactions with a government (including government assistance) by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model. The required disclosures include the nature of the transaction, the entity's related accounting policy, the financial statement line items affected and the amounts reflected in the current period financial statements, as well as any significant terms and conditions. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2022, with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
