Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Financial Instruments Level 1—Inputs are based upon observable or quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2—Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 investments consist primarily of corporate notes and bonds and U.S. government and agency securities. Level 3—Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The Company’s marketable securities consist of corporate bonds and a government bond which are adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date, based on quoted prices, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Right to Use Assets and Liabilities | 6. Right to Use Assets and Liabilities The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate was 5.1%. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of our leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company includes these options in the recognition of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company has operating leases for its corporate office and certain equipment, which expire no later than December 31, 2022. The leases have a weighted average remaining term of 3.5 years. Maturities of lease liabilities for the years ending December 31 are: 2019 $ 450,816 2020 839,555 2021 840,498 2022 823,403 Total lease payments 2,954,272 Less: imputed interest (282,895 ) Total $ 2,671,377 The amortization of the ROU assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $186,212 and $366,610, respectively.

Long-Term Debt | 8. Long-Term Debt In August 2013, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (Loan) and a Stock Subscription Warrant, with Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated (CII). Under the Loan, the Company can draw up to $750,000 for the purpose of purchasing laboratory equipment, information technology equipment and leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are limited to $100,000. Interest on the Loan is compounded on a monthly basis at a rate of 7.50% per annum and is required to be paid on a monthly basis beginning on the date of the first draw of funds for 10 months, then with principal payments beginning on June 1, 2015 and payable monthly until the maturity date of July 31, 2019. The Company has the ability to prepay the amount due at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty. The Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amount outstanding under the Loan was $77,667 and $169,610, respectively. The Company paid the loan in full in July 2019. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total unamortized debt discount on the Loan totaled $1,030 and $7,210, respectively. Interest expense recorded related to the amortization of the debt discount in each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $6,180.

Effective January 1, 2015, the CII Series A Preferred Stock Warrant was exchanged for a warrant to purchase 110,116 units of the Company’s Series A redeemable convertible preferred units (CII Series A Preferred Unit Warrant). In July 2018, CII exercised the CII Series A Preferred Unit Warrant. In connection with an Assistance Agreement with the State of Connecticut (Assistance Agreement) entered into in 2014, under which all the borrowings by the Company were forgiven in accordance with the Assistance Agreement, the Company is required to be located in the State of Connecticut through January 2024, with a default penalty of repayment of the full original funding amount of $2.5 million plus liquidated damages of 7.5%.

Under the terms of the 2018 Assistance Agreement, the Company could borrow from the State of Connecticut a maximum of $2.0 million, provided that the funding does not exceed more than 50% of the total Project costs. In September 2018, the Company borrowed $2.0 million under the 2018 Assistance Agreement, bearing interest at 3.25% per annum and interest payments will be required for the first 60 months from the funding date. Thereafter, the loan amortizes over the next sixty months, maturing in September 2028. According to the terms of the 2018 Assistance Agreement, up to $1.0 million of the funding thereunder can be forgiven if the Company meets certain employment conditions, as defined therein. The Company may also be required to prepay a portion of the loan if the employment conditions are not met. The 2018 Assistance Agreement requires that the Company be located in the State of Connecticut through June 2028 with a default penalty of repayment of the full original funding amount of $2.0 million plus liquidated damages of 7.5% of the total amount of funding received.

Incentive Equity Plans | 9. Incentive Equity Plans In the Fourth Amendment to the Company’s Incentive Share Plan (the Incentive Plan) adopted in March 2018, the Company was authorized to issue up to an aggregate of 6,199,477 incentive units pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Generally, incentive units were granted at no less than fair value as determined by the board of managers and had vesting periods ranging from one to four years. The Incentive Plan was terminated in September 2018. In September 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan), which became effective upon the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 for the Company’s IPO. The number of common shares initially available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is the sum of (1) 4,067,007 shares of common stock; plus (2) the number of shares of common stock (up to 1,277,181) issued in respect of incentive units granted under the Incentive Plan that are subject to vesting immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement that expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right; plus (3) an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 and continuing to, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, equal to the lowest of 4,989,593 shares of the Company’s common stock, 4% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the first day of the fiscal year and an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. The increase in the number of authorized shares for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 was 1,293,510. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted 1,195,988 stock options to purchase shares of common stock to employees and directors at a weighted average fair value of $12.58 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company also granted 176,841 restricted stock units, which vest annually over four years. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized compensation expense of $9,807,362 relating to the issuance of employee and director incentive awards, and at June 30, 2019, there was $19,543,078 of compensation expense that is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized compensation expense of $682,693 relating to incentive share awards for consultants and at June 30, 2019, there was $873,277 of compensation expense remaining to be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years. The fair value of the incentive units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: June 30, 2018 Expected volatility 66.0-71.0% Expected term (years) 5.6-6.1 Risk free interest rate 2.5-2.9% Expected dividend yield 0 % Fair value of underlying common units $1.08-8.48 The fair value of the underlying common units was utilized as the exercise price within the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: June 30, 2019 Expected volatility 70.2-70.5% Expected term (years) 5.5-7.0 Risk free interest rate 1.9-2.7% Expected dividend yield 0 % Exercise price $17.29-22.25 Given the Company’s common stock has not been trading for a sufficient period of time, the Company utilizes a collection of volatilities of peer companies to estimate the expected volatility of its common stock. The expected term is calculated utilizing the simplified method. The following table provides a summary of the restricted stock grant activity under the Incentive Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2019. These amounts include restricted stock granted to employees, directors and consultants.

Income Taxes | 10. Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and 34.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of 0.0% was the effect of equity compensation and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. Valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. The Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Company pays franchise tax in the states mentioned above due to its loss position. As a result, there is no state income tax provision recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. |

The incentive units that converted into restricted shares have been excluded from basic loss per unit given that the incentive units had no obligation to share in losses and have been excluded from dilutive loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. The following common share/unit equivalents have been excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per common share/unit because their inclusion would have been antidilutive for the periods ended June 30: 2019 2018 Redeemable convertible preferred units — 19,664,047 Incentive units — 3,829,224 Restricted stock 822,677 — Stock options 3,404,406 — Restricted stock units 176,841 — Preferred unit warrant — 33,881 4,403,924 23,527,152 |
