Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Formation and Business of the Company | 1. Formation and Business of the Company Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc., or the Company, formerly known as Allergen Research Corporation, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a new therapeutic approach, including the development of proprietary product candidates, for the treatment of peanut and other food allergies. Our therapeutic approach, which we refer to as Characterized Oral Desensitization Immunotherapy, or CODIT TM Since inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred a net loss of $80.8 million and used $56.6 million of cash in operations. As of December 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $134.2 million and we do not expect to experience positive cash flows in the near future. We have financed our operations to date primarily through private placements of our equity securities and our initial public offering, or IPO, of common stock in August 2015. Our ability to continue to meet our obligations and to achieve our business objectives is dependent upon a number of factors, which include raising additional capital, obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and European Medicines Agency, or EMA, approval and commercializing in the United States and Europe, generating sufficient revenue and our ability to continue to control expenses, if necessary, to meet our obligations as they become due for the foreseeable future. Failure to obtain FDA and EMA approval, commercialize our lead product candidate, manage discretionary expenditures or raise additional financing, as required, may adversely impact our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. As of December 31, 2016, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $282.5 million. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months and through regulatory submissions for AR101, our lead investigational biologic oral immunotherapy for desensitization of patients with peanut allergy. Private Placement On November 23, 2016, we completed the issuance and sale of 7,522,084 shares of our common stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of $145.0 million, or the Equity Investment, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, dated November 2, 2016, by and between us and Nestle Health Science US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or Nestle Health Science. In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, we and Nestle Health Science entered into a Standstill Agreement, or the Standstill Agreement, and a Registration Rights Agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Equity.” Initial Public Offering On August 5, 2015, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-205501) relating to the IPO of our common stock became effective. The IPO closed on August 11, 2015 at which time we issued 11,499,999 shares of our common stock at a price of $16.00 per share, which included 1,499,999 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. We received proceeds of approximately $168.1 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering expenses. In addition, upon our IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock converted by their terms into approximately 25.1 million shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2016, we had 50,204,383 shares of common stock outstanding. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Equity.” Stock Split On July 30, 2015, we effected a 1-for-1.317 stock split of our common stock and convertible preferred stock. The par value of the authorized stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split. In addition, we increased the number of authorized shares of common stock to 55,051,264 and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock to 25,051,264. All issued and outstanding common stock, convertible preferred stock, stock options and per share amounts contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split for all periods presented. In conjunction with the our IPO, we filed our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that authorized 290,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. We operate in one reportable segment in the United States. Foreign Currency Translation Our functional currency and the functional currency of all of our subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities in the non-functional currency of these subsidiaries are remeasured using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Costs in local currency are remeasured using average exchange rates for the period, except for costs related to those balance sheet items that are remeasured using historical exchange rates. The resulting remeasurement gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred and have not been material for all periods presented. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which are carried at estimated fair value, consist primarily of money market funds and certain available-for-sale investments with maturities of three months or less. Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We have one operating segment. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain investments in money market funds, agency securities, corporate securities, U.S. government securities and commercial paper. Bank deposits are primarily held by a single financial institution and these deposits may exceed insured limits. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution holding our cash and cash equivalents and issuers of investments that are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. We mitigate our risk by investing in high-grade instruments and limiting the concentration in any one issuer, which limits our exposure. Investments Our investments consist of available-for-sale securities. Investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days but less than one (1) year are classified as short-term on the consolidated balance sheets. Investments with original maturities greater than one (1) year are classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets. Our investments in available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value. Available-for-sale securities consist primarily of agency securities, corporate securities, U.S. government securities and commercial paper. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities impact the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss only when such securities are sold or an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis. We regularly review our investment portfolio to determine if any security is other-than-temporarily impaired, which would require us to record an impairment charge in the period any such determination is made. We consider factors such as the duration, severity and the reason for the decline in value, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, the potential recovery period and our intent to sell. For debt securities, we also consider whether (i) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and (ii) the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered as a result of credit losses. Our assessment on whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in assumptions related to any particular security. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: Furniture and office equipment 4 years Computer equipment 3 years Buildings 25 years Fixtures 10 years Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. We have not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets in the periods presented. Leases Leases related to our corporate headquarters are classified as operating leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and, accordingly, we record the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. Incentives granted under facilities leases are deferred and recognized as adjustments to rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In June 2015, we signed a lease for a manufacturing facility in Clearwater, Florida. We were considered the deemed owner for accounting purposes. See Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further details. Research and Development We expense research and development costs as incurred. We record accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include the conduct of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and contract manufacturing activities. These costs are a significant component of our research and development expenses. We accrue for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with our third-party service providers under the service agreements. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued liabilities balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued liabilities. We have not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred. However, the status and timing of actual services performed, number of patients enrolled and the rate of patient enrollments may vary from our estimates, resulting in adjustments to expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to our accruals could materially affect our results of operations. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based awards issued to employees, including stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period). Because noncash stock compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced by an estimate for future forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimates. There were 2,343,385, 4,192,485 and 1,635,681 stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, there were 17,000, 0, and 0 restricted stock units awarded during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively. Income Taxes We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to our lack of earnings history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. Comprehensive Income or Loss Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive loss includes net loss and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments. Net Loss per Share The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion would have been antidilutive: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Series A convertible preferred stock — — 13,263,967 Stock options 5,429,267 4,814,892 2,566,559 Restricted stock units 17,000 — — Offering Costs Offering costs represent underwriting, legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our IPO. These costs were deferred until completion of the IPO, at which time they were reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the proceeds. Fair Value Measurements We define 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 most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. We classify these inputs into the following hierarchy: Level 1 —Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; Level 2 —Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data. Financial instruments include cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Our cash equivalents and investments are carried at estimated fair value and remeasured on a recurring basis. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of investments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. In accordance with fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (Topic 230) In October 2016, the FASB, issued ASU, 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers Other Than Inventory In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In March 2016, the FASB, issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and accounting for forfeitures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB, issued ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior years have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted the results of our operations in any of the years presented. |

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties. We did not identify any other-than-temporary losses for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. We do not consider unrealized losses on our other debt securities to be credit-related. These unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. A substantial portion of securities that have unrealized losses are US corporate securities that are highly-rated. We have not made a decision to sell securities with unrealized losses and believe it is more likely than not we would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of its amortized cost. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 5. Commitments and Contingencies Facility Leases In March 2015, we entered into a new lease for our corporate headquarters in Brisbane, California for 11,665 square feet of office space. Upon the commencement of the new lease in May 2015, we ceased use of our previous corporate headquarters. In August 2015, we entered into an amendment to the Brisbane, California facility lease. Pursuant to the amendment, we leased an additional 26,355 square feet of office space. The term for the new space is 72 months from the delivery of the premises to us, which took place December 2015. In addition, the term of the existing office space has been extended so that it is coterminous with the new space. The amendment required a total security deposit of approximately $0.3 million. We are responsible for operating expenses over base operating expenses as defined in the headquarters lease agreement. In June 2015, we signed a facility lease for a manufacturing facility for approximately 20,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Clearwater, Florida. The initial term of the lease is for 120 months. For accounting purposes, due to the nature and extent of our involvement with the construction of this manufacturing facility, we were considered to be the owner of the assets during the construction period through the lease commencement date, even though the lessor is responsible for funding and repairing components of the building shell and constructing a portion of the related building infrastructure. Construction to this building commenced in July 2015 and as of December 31, 2016, we have incurred approximately $0.3 million of construction and equipment costs related to the building, which is recorded in construction in progress. We also recorded $0.7 million to construction in progress for costs incurred by the lessor and recognized a corresponding amount included within other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet. We are responsible for operating expenses including real estate taxes as defined in the manufacturing facility lease agreement. Total future aggregate minimum lease payments under our operating leases are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 $ 2,216 2018 1,919 2019 1,905 2020 1,980 2021 1,872 and after 691 Total $ 10,583 Rent expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $1.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Capital Lease In July 2016, we entered into a five year capital lease agreement for certain equipment in our Florida manufacturing facility. The current portion of the capital lease obligation is included in Other Current Liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in Other Liabilities. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments due under the capital lease obligation as of December 31, 2016 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 $ 33 2018 33 2019 34 2020 35 2021 26 Total capital lease obligation 161 Less: amount representing interest 64 Present value of net minimum capital lease payments 97 Less: current portion 12 Total noncurrent capital lease obligation $ 85 Purchase Commitments We purchase peanut flour, the source material for AR101, from the Golden Peanut Company pursuant to a long term exclusive commercial supply agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, our purchase obligation commences with the first delivery of peanut flour for commercial use, which we currently anticipate will not occur prior to 2018. Assuming that our first delivery for commercial use occurs in 2018, which is not assured, the aggregate purchase commitment under this agreement would be $1.2 million over a term of five years. Indemnifications We indemnify each of our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as an officer or a director may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such officer or director in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, we currently hold directors and officers liability insurance. This insurance allows the transfer of risk associated with our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We believe that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations for any period. Legal During the normal course of business, we may be a party to legal claims that may not be covered by insurance. We do not believe that any such claims would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders’ Equity | 6. Stockholders’ Equity Convertible Preferred Stock In January and February 2015, we issued an aggregate 14,047,996 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, original issue price of $5.69 per share, for gross cash proceeds of $80.0 million, and in January 2015, we repurchased 2,260,706 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock from certain investors. The purchase price of the Series A convertible preferred stock was $5.69 per share, the same as the issue price of the Series B convertible stock, and was at an aggregate cost of $12.9 million. The offering costs for the issuance and sale of Series B convertible preferred stock was $221,000. All 25,051,257 shares of our then-outstanding convertible preferred stock converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock upon the closing of our IPO on August 11, 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had authorized 10,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, and no shares of convertible preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Common Stock On November 23, 2016, we issued and sold 7,522,084 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $145.0 million, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated November 2, 2016, by and between us and Nestle Health Science. In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, we and Nestle Health Science entered into a Registration Rights Agreement and a Standstill Agreement. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, upon the written request of Nestle Health Science, we shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, a registration statement covering the resale of all the shares sold to Nestle Health Science that are not then registered on an existing and effective registration statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant Commission Rule 415. Additionally, we shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement filed under the Registration Rights Agreement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within certain defined time limits and to keep such registration statement continuously effective for a period of potentially three years from the original effect date of such registration statement. Under the terms of the Standstill Agreement, Nestle Health Science is prohibited from entering into transactions with the shares purchased in the Equity Investment, as well as to enter into any transactions with any of our assets, without prior written consent of a majority of the members of our board of directors until the later of the end of the term of the Collaboration Agreement and November 23, 2018. |

Stock-Based Awards | 7. Stock-Based Awards Equity Plans In July 2015, we adopted the 2015 Stock Plan, or the 2015 Plan. Under the 2015 Plan, 4,681,544 shares of our common stock were initially reserved for the issuance of stock options and restricted stock to employees, directors, and consultants under terms and provisions established by the Board of Directors, or the Board, and approved by our stockholders. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 there were 4,344,487 and 4,443,479 and shares available for future grant, respectively. Under the terms of the 2015 Plan, options may be granted at an exercise price not less than fair market value. For employees holding more than 10% of the voting rights of all classes of stock, the exercise prices for incentive stock options may not be less than 110% of fair market value, as determined by the Board. The terms of options granted under the 2015 Plan may not exceed ten years. All options issued to date have had a ten-year life. To date, options granted generally vest in three ways: 1) over four years at a rate of 25% upon the first anniversary of the issuance date and 1/48 th th th Our 2013 Stock Plan, or the 2013 Plan, which was originally adopted during January 2013, was terminated upon consummation of our IPO in August 2015. As a terminated plan, no further options can be granted from the 2013 Plan, and no further shares are reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan. Prior to its termination, the 2013 Plan allowed employees to exercise a stock option in exchange for cash before the requisite service is provided (e.g., before the award is vested under its original terms); however, such arrangements permit us to subsequently repurchase such shares at the exercise price if the vesting conditions are not satisfied. Such an exercise is not substantive for accounting purposes. Therefore, the payment received by us for the exercise price is recognized as an early exercise liability on the consolidated balance sheets and will be transferred to common stock and additional paid-in capital as such shares vest. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 199,538 and 599,242 unvested shares were legally issued and outstanding, respectively. In connection with these unvested shares, we have recorded an early exercise liability as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 of $0.06 million and $0.22 million, respectively, of which $0.05 million and $0.14 million is included in other current liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.01 million $0.08 million is included in other liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. These shares are excluded from basic and diluted net loss per share until our repurchase right lapses and the shares are no longer subject to the repurchase feature. Activity under the 2015 Plan and 2013 Plan is set forth below: Options Outstanding Number Options and Unvested Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Balance, December 31, 2015 4,814,892 $ 5.20 9.23 $ 64,211 Options granted 2,343,385 $ 16.02 Options exercised and shares vested (813,102 ) $ 3.49 Options repurchased (68,150 ) $ 0.14 Options cancelled (648,118 ) $ 9.64 Balance, December 31, 2016 5,628,907 $ 9.50 9.02 $ 61,617 Options vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2016 5,422,307 $ 9.41 8.68 $ 59,856 Options exercisable as of December 31, 2016 3,344,876 $ 2.96 8.66 $ 51,749 The aggregate intrinsic values of options outstanding, exercisable, and vested and expected to vest were calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the market price for shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2016. The 2013 Plan provided for early exercise, therefore, all the Company’s outstanding stock options issued under that plan are exercisable. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $6.5 million. Stock Options Granted Stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 had a per share weighted-average grant-date fair value of $10.53, $6.11 and $0.09, respectively. The fair value is being expensed over the vesting period of the options, which is either four years or two years on a straight-line basis as the services are being provided. No tax benefits were realized from options during the periods. We issued one grant totaling 213,354 options to a non-employee during the year ended December 31, 2015. The fair value of the non-employee options was measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model reflecting the same assumptions as applied to employee options, other than the expected life, which was assumed to be the remaining contractual life of the option. During 2016, we converted the non-employee to an employee, and converted the grant from a non-employee grant to an employee grant. The conversion of the grant was treated as a modification of the original grant; accordingly, we recognized $0.09 million of modification expense. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $27.3 million and $17.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.72 years and 3.23 years, respectively. Restricted stock unit, or RSU, activity under the 2015 Plan is set forth below: Shares Weighted Grant Date Fair Value Unvested Balance, December 31, 2015 — $ — Awarded 17,000 14.01 Released — — Forfeited — — Unvested Balance, December 31, 2016 17,000 $ 14.01 RSUs are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period). As of December 31, 2016, there was $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.2 years. Determining Fair Value of Stock Options Prior to our IPO, the fair value of our shares of common stock underlying the stock options was the responsibility of and determined by our Board. Because there was no public market for our common stock, the Board determined the fair value of common stock at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including independent third-party valuations of our common stock, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Following the IPO, the market traded price of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options is the closing price of our stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on the grant date. In determining the fair value of the stock-based awards used to calculate stock-based compensation expense, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine. • Expected Term. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to be outstanding. We have opted to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term as provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin, SAB, 110 as our options grants are considered “plain vanilla”. The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average time- to-vesting and the contractual life of the options. We plan to continue to use the simplified method under SAB 110 until we have sufficient exercise history as a publicly traded company. • Expected Volatility. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, as we have limited trading history for our common stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the biopharmaceutical industry with comparable characteristics including enterprise value, risk profiles and position within the industry. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own common stock share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. • Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Black-Scholes valuation model on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option. Expected Dividend Yield. We have never paid dividends on our common stock and have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock. Therefore, we used an expected dividend yield of zero. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Expected volatility 74.46 % 74.14 % 79.62 % Risk-free interest rate 1.71 % 1.73 % 1.51 % Expected dividend yield — — — Expected term (in years) 6.03 5.99 4.65 Weighted average grant date fair value $ 10.53 $ 6.11 $ 0.09 Stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is reflected in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss (in thousands) as summarized below: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Research and development $ 4,838 $ 2,522 $ 23 General and administrative 7,803 3,635 54 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 12,641 $ 6,157 $ 77 During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recorded $0.9 million, $1.4 million and $0 of stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of certain former executives’ stock options, respectively. |

Income Taxes We did not record a tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 as we incurred net losses in each period, and the need for a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The following table presents loss before provision for income taxes (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Income/(loss) before income taxes Domestic $ (66,210 ) $ (17,489 ) $ (11,120 ) Foreign (14,614 ) (18,327 ) — Total loss before provision for income taxes $ (80,824 ) $ (35,816 ) $ (11,120 ) Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 differed from the amount expected by applying the statutory federal tax rate to the loss before taxes as summarized below (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Federal tax benefit at statutory rate 34.00 % 34.00 % 34.00 % State tax benefit, net of federal benefit 0.39 % 3.02 % 6.33 % Stock compensation -1.75 % -1.59 % 0.00 % Change in valuation allowance -27.45 % -20.55 % -41.23 % Research and development credits 2.53 % 2.52 % 1.08 % Foreign income taxed at different rates -6.13 % -17.40 % 0.00 % Other -1.59 % 0.00 % -0.18 % Income tax expense 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % The significant components of our deferred taxes are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets (liabilities): Net operating loss carryforwards $ 27,109 $ 9,857 Start-up costs 1,282 1,612 Stock-based compensation 3,427 1,413 Tax credit carryforwards 3,585 1,296 Accruals 1,041 195 Other 22 (2 ) Total deferred tax assets 36,466 14,371 Less: valuation allowance (36,466 ) (14,371 ) Net deferred income taxes $ — $ — We recognize deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. We periodically evaluate the positive and negative evidence bearing upon realizability of our deferred tax assets. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance, reported cumulative net losses since inception and difficulty in accurately forecasting our future results, we maintained a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. We intend to maintain a full valuation allowance on the federal and state deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance. The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was an increase of $22.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, we had net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards for Federal, California and other state income tax purposes of $81.0 million, $12.0 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, we had NOL carryforwards for Federal, California and other state income tax purposes of $24.7 million, $12.0 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2031, 2031, and 2030, respectively, if not utilized. $3.6 million, $0.0 million, and $0.1 million of the Federal, California, and other state NOL carryforwards, respectively, relates to windfall stock option deductions, which, when we adopt ASU 2016-09, will increase our NOL carryforwards deferred tax assets and our valuation allowance. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had Federal and California research credit carryforwards of $3.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Federal research credits will begin to expire in 2032, while the California research credits have no expiration date. Our ability to utilize NOL carryforwards or other tax attributes, such as research tax credits, in any taxable year may be limited if we have experienced an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. Following issuance of the Series B convertible preferred stock in January and February 2015, we performed a preliminary Section 382 analysis and believe that we experienced multiple ownership changes prior to June 30, 2015, and, as a result, such federal and state NOL carryforwards and our tax credits are subject to limitation. We have not performed a Section 382 analysis to evaluate whether or not we experienced an ownership change as a result of either our August 2015 IPO or the November 2016 Equity Investment by Nestle Health Science. Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized benefits (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Beginning balance - unrecognized tax benefit, gross $ — $ — Increases related to tax positions taken during a prior year — — Decreases related to a tax position taken during a prior year — — Increases related to tax positions taken during the current year 960 — Decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities — — Decreases related to expiration of statute of limitations — — Ending balance - unrecognized tax benefits, gross $ 960 $ — At December 31, 2016, the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions were offset against the deferred tax assets and would not affect the income tax rate if recognized due to our being in a valuation allowance position. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, within the provision for taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. We did not accrue any interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. We do not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within 12 months of December 31, 2016. We file federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Due to our NOL carryforwards, our income tax returns remain subject to examination by federal and most state taxing authorities for all tax years. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Preparation | Basis of Preparation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. We operate in one reportable segment in the United States. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation Our functional currency and the functional currency of all of our subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities in the non-functional currency of these subsidiaries are remeasured using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Costs in local currency are remeasured using average exchange rates for the period, except for costs related to those balance sheet items that are remeasured using historical exchange rates. The resulting remeasurement gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred and have not been material for all periods presented. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which are carried at estimated fair value, consist primarily of money market funds and certain available-for-sale investments with maturities of three months or less. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We have one operating segment. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and certain investments in money market funds, agency securities, corporate securities, U.S. government securities and commercial paper. Bank deposits are primarily held by a single financial institution and these deposits may exceed insured limits. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution holding our cash and cash equivalents and issuers of investments that are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. We mitigate our risk by investing in high-grade instruments and limiting the concentration in any one issuer, which limits our exposure. |
Investments | Investments Our investments consist of available-for-sale securities. Investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days but less than one (1) year are classified as short-term on the consolidated balance sheets. Investments with original maturities greater than one (1) year are classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets. Our investments in available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value. Available-for-sale securities consist primarily of agency securities, corporate securities, U.S. government securities and commercial paper. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities impact the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss only when such securities are sold or an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis. We regularly review our investment portfolio to determine if any security is other-than-temporarily impaired, which would require us to record an impairment charge in the period any such determination is made. We consider factors such as the duration, severity and the reason for the decline in value, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, the potential recovery period and our intent to sell. For debt securities, we also consider whether (i) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and (ii) the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered as a result of credit losses. Our assessment on whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in assumptions related to any particular security. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: Furniture and office equipment 4 years Computer equipment 3 years Buildings 25 years Fixtures 10 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. We have not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets in the periods presented. |
Leases | Leases Leases related to our corporate headquarters are classified as operating leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and, accordingly, we record the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. Incentives granted under facilities leases are deferred and recognized as adjustments to rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In June 2015, we signed a lease for a manufacturing facility in Clearwater, Florida. We were considered the deemed owner for accounting purposes. See Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies,” for further details. |
Research and Development | Research and Development We expense research and development costs as incurred. We record accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include the conduct of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and contract manufacturing activities. These costs are a significant component of our research and development expenses. We accrue for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with our third-party service providers under the service agreements. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued liabilities balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued liabilities. We have not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred. However, the status and timing of actual services performed, number of patients enrolled and the rate of patient enrollments may vary from our estimates, resulting in adjustments to expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to our accruals could materially affect our results of operations. |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based awards issued to employees, including stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period). Because noncash stock compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced by an estimate for future forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimates. There were 2,343,385, 4,192,485 and 1,635,681 stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, there were 17,000, 0, and 0 restricted stock units awarded during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to our lack of earnings history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. |
Comprehensive Income or Loss | Comprehensive Income or Loss Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive loss includes net loss and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments. |
Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because their inclusion would have been antidilutive: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Series A convertible preferred stock — — 13,263,967 Stock options 5,429,267 4,814,892 2,566,559 Restricted stock units 17,000 — — |
Offering Costs | Offering Costs Offering costs represent underwriting, legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our IPO. These costs were deferred until completion of the IPO, at which time they were reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the proceeds. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We define 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 most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Our valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. We classify these inputs into the following hierarchy: Level 1 —Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; Level 2 —Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data. Financial instruments include cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Our cash equivalents and investments are carried at estimated fair value and remeasured on a recurring basis. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of investments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. In accordance with fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (Topic 230) In October 2016, the FASB, issued ASU, 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers Other Than Inventory In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In March 2016, the FASB, issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and accounting for forfeitures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB, issued ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) |
