DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS a. Entera Bio Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiary, the “Company”) was incorporated on September 30, 2009 and commenced operations on June 1, 2010. On January 8, 2018, the Company incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary, Entera Bio Inc., in Delaware, United States. The Company is focused on developing first-in-class oral tablet formats of peptides or protein replacement therapies. The Company focuses on underserved, chronic medical conditions for which oral administration of a protein therapy has the potential to significantly shift a treatment paradigm. The Company’s most advanced product candidate, EB613, oral PTH (1-34), is being developed as the first oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) once-daily tablet treatment for post-menopausal women with low bone mineral density (“BMD”) and high-risk osteoporosis with no prior fracture. The Company is preparing to initiate a Phase 3 registrational study for EB613 following the FDA’s expected qualification of a quantitative BMD endpoint. The Company’s product candidate, EB612, is being developed as the first oral PTH(1-34) tablet peptide replacement therapy for hypoparathyroidism. Additionally, the Company intends to license its N-Tab™ technology to biopharmaceutical companies for use with their proprietary compounds. b. The Company's ordinary shares, NIS 0.0000769 par value per share (“ordinary shares”), are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ENTX”. c. Because the Company is engaged in research and development activities, it has not derived significant income from its activities and has incurred an accumulated deficit in the amount of $111.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company's management is of the opinion that the Company’s available funds as of September 30, 2024 will allow it to operate under its current plans into the third quarter of 2025. This assumes the use of the Company’s capital to fund its ongoing operations, including regulatory expenses and optimization related to the preparation of the EB613 phase 3 study, research and development, the completion of an additional Phase 1 PK study related to the Company’s new generation platform and the GLP-2/OXM collaborative research the Company is conducting with OPKO Biologics, Inc., a subsidiary of OPKO Health Inc. The Company’s current capital resources do not include the capital required to fund the Company's proposed Phase 3 study for EB613 in osteoporosis. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management continually evaluates various financing alternatives in the public and private equity markets, debt financing and strategic collaborations, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities, general and administrative expenses and working capital through capital raising. However, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain such funding. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. d. In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, and Hamas additionally kidnapped many Israeli civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and commenced a military campaign against Hamas. Since the onset of these events, hostilities have persisted along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, primarily involving the Hezbollah terror organization, as well as other extremist groups in the region, including the Houthis in Yemen and various militia groups in Syria and Iraq. Israel has conducted multiple targeted strikes against these terror organizations. I

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of presentation of the financial statements These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, the consolidated results of operations and statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2024. b. Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants during the period. Each outstanding pre-funded warrant has no expiration and is exercisable at a price of NIS 0.0000769 per ordinary share. Diluted loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Ordinary share equivalents include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted share units (“RSUs”), which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive. The calculation of diluted loss per share does not include options and warrants exercisable into 17,136,035 shares and 7,244,450 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 17,276,113 shares and 6,999,180 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. c. Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements: Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

CONTRACT FOR RESEARCH AGREEMENT	NOTE 5 - CONTRACT FOR RESEARCH AGREEMENT In April 2024, the Company entered into a material transfer and research project agreement (the “research services agreement”) with a third party. According to the agreement, the third party will pay the Company a monthly payment for the research services, as well as reimbursement for external expenses based on an agreed budget. The Company recognizes revenues according to ASC 606, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers”. Revenues attributed to the research services agreement are recognized over the duration of the research services agreement. The Company concluded that, because the research services provided under the research services agreement have no alternative use (because, in nature, these services are unique to each customer), and the Company has the right to receive payment for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue over the contract term using the input model method, which is labor hours expended and time lapsed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized total revenues of $99 from this agreement.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, the consolidated results of operations and statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2024.
Loss per share	b. Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants during the period. Each outstanding pre-funded warrant has no expiration and is exercisable at a price of NIS 0.0000769 per ordinary share. Diluted loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Ordinary share equivalents include outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted share units (“RSUs”), which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive. The calculation of diluted loss per share does not include options and warrants exercisable into 17,136,035 shares and 7,244,450 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 17,276,113 shares and 6,999,180 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements	c. Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements: Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
