Organization | 1. Organization Prometheus Biosciences, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 26, 2016 under the name Precision IBD, Inc. and is headquartered in San Diego, California. The Company changed its name to Prometheus Biosciences, Inc. on October 1, 2019. The Company’s business is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutic and companion diagnostic products for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases, starting first with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In June 2019, the Company acquired Prometheus Laboratories, Inc. (PLI) and the related intangible assets used by PLI. PLI was wholly owned by Nestlé Health Science US Holdings, Inc. and the related intangible assets were owned by Societé Des Produits Nestlé S.A (together, Nestlé). PLI markets and conducts several laboratory developed tests useful to gastroenterologists in monitoring their IBD patients’ disease state and informing their therapeutic decisions. On December 31, 2020, the Company completed the spinoff of PLI by making an in-kind distribution of 100% of its interest in PLI to the Company’s stockholders of record on December 30, 2020. Reverse Stock Split On March 5, 2021, the Company effected a one-for-ten Initial Public Offering On March 16, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) with the sale of 11,500,000 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 1,500,000 additional shares, at an initial public offering price of $19.00 per share and received gross proceeds of $218.5 million, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $199.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $15.3 million and offering-related transaction costs of approximately $3.4 million. In addition, in connection with the completion of the IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into 25,485,955 shares of the Company’s common stock; outstanding warrants to purchase 148,848 shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase 14,884 shares of the Company’s common stock; and the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize 400,000,000 shares of common stock and 40,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. Liquidity The Company has incurred net losses since inception, experienced negative cash flows from operations, and as of June 30, 2022, has an accumulated deficit of $255.1 million The Company will be required to raise additional capital, however, there can be no assurance as to whether additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If sufficient funds on acceptable terms are not available when needed, it would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and could force the Company to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates or testing products that the Company would otherwise plan to develop. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, primarily related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, marketable securities, accrued research and development costs, and the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates relating to the valuation of stock require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The unaudited financial statements at June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and with GAAP applicable to interim financial statements. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of the interim date and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or future periods. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022. Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by management in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment in the United States for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2022 represents cash in readily available checking and money market accounts, and commercial paper. The cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2021 represents cash in readily available checking and money market accounts. Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities primarily consist of commercial paper and U.S. government and agency securities classified within cash and cash equivalents and short term investments depending on their maturity date at the time of purchase. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and records such assets at estimated fair value in the condensed balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) within the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies marketable securities with remaining maturities greater than one year as current assets because such marketable securities are available to fund the Company’s current operations. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification method and recorded as interest income (loss). There were no realized gains and losses during any of the periods presented. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. When the Company determines that a decline in the fair value below its cost basis is other-than-temporary, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in the period in which the other-than-temporary decline occurred. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments recognized during any of the periods presented. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is stated at the original invoice amount and consists of certain research and development and contract manufacturing costs subject to reimbursement under the Company’s collaboration agreements. The Company did not record any credit losses as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which ranges from two to ten years. Repairs and maintenance charges that do not increase the useful life of the assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Long-Lived Assets The Company’s long-lived assets are comprised principally of its property and equipment. If the Company identifies a change in the circumstances related to its long-lived assets that indicates the carrying value of any such asset may not be recoverable, the Company will perform an impairment analysis. A long-lived asset is not recoverable when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) are less than the asset’s carrying amount. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating expense. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps in determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of these agreements: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. To date, all of the Company’s collaboration revenue has been derived from its collaboration agreement with Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH and its collaboration agreement with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (collectively, Takeda) as described in Note 5. The terms of these arrangements include the following types of payments to the Company: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for research and development services provided by the Company; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. At the initiation of an agreement, the Company analyzes whether each unit of account results in a contract with a customer under ASC 606 or in an arrangement with a collaborator subject to guidance under ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). The Company considers a variety of factors in determining the appropriate estimates and assumptions under these arrangements, such as whether the elements are distinct performance obligations, whether there are observable stand-alone prices, and whether any licenses are functional or symbolic. The Company evaluates each performance obligation to determine if it can be satisfied and recognized as revenue at a point in time or over time. Typically, license fees, non-refundable upfront fees, and funding of research activities are considered fixed, while milestone payments are identified as variable consideration which must be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the most likely amount, as milestone payments typically only have two possible outcomes. The Company recognizes revenue for sales-based royalty promised in exchange for the license of intellectual property only when the subsequent sale occurs. The Company may allocate transaction price using a number of methods including estimating standalone selling price of performance obligations and using the residual approach when the standalone selling price of the license is highly variable or uncertain, and observable standalone selling prices exist for the other goods or services promised in the contract. The Company receives payments from its collaborators based on terms established in each contract. Upfront payments and other payments may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the payment by the customer is akin to a deposit for research and development services. Research and Development and Clinical Trial Accruals Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses include certain payroll and personnel expenses, laboratory supplies, consulting costs, external contract research and development expenses, and allocated overhead, including rent, information technology, property and equipment depreciation and utilities. Advance payments for goods or services for future research and development activities are deferred and expensed as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Company estimates preclinical studies and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on the Company’s behalf. In addition, clinical study and trial materials are manufactured by contract manufacturing organizations. In accruing for these services, the Company estimates the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. These estimates are based on communications with the third-party service providers and the Company’s estimates of accrued expenses and on information available at each balance sheet date. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Stock-Based Compensation The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees related to stock options, restricted stock units, and shares granted under the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of applicable awards recognized over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis, net of actual forfeitures during the period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and shares purchased under the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Valuation of Common Stock Prior to the IPO, given the absence of a public trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s board of directors exercised their judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock, such as: contemporaneous valuations performed by independent third-party specialists, its stage of development, including the status of its research and development efforts of its product candidates, the material risks related to its businesses and industry, its results of operations before discontinued operations and financial position, including its levels of capital resources, the prices at which its sold shares of its convertible preferred stock, the rights, preferences and privileges of its convertible preferred stock relative to those of its common stock, the conditions in the biotechnology industry and the economy in general, the stock price performance and volatility of comparable life sciences public companies, as well as recently completed mergers and acquisitions of peer companies, the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the holders of its common stock or convertible preferred stock, such as an IPO or a sale of the Company given prevailing market conditions, trends and developments in its industry, external market conditions affecting the life sciences and biotechnology sectors, and the lack of liquidity of its common stock, among other factors. After the completion of the IPO, the fair value of each share of common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Preferred Stock Purchase Right Liabilities From time to time, the Company entered into convertible preferred stock financings where, in addition to the initial closing, investors agreed to buy, and the Company agreed to sell, additional shares of that convertible preferred stock at a fixed price in the event that certain conditions are met, or agreed upon milestones are achieved. The Company evaluated this purchase right and assessed whether it met the definition of a freestanding instrument and, if so, determined the fair value of the purchase right liability and recorded it on the balance sheet with the remainder of the proceeds raised allocated to convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock purchase right liability was revalued at each reporting period with changes in the fair value of the liability recorded as change in fair value of preferred stock purchase right liability in the statements of operations. Upon the issuance of the shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock in January 2021, the no longer required liability accounting and the then fair value of the was reclassified into stockholders’ equity. The Company performed the final remeasurement of the preferred stock purchase right liability Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. Comprehensive gains (losses) have been reflected in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. The Company has excluded 11,084 and 13,231 weighted average shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 35,369 and 41,654 weighted average shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common holders per share is presented in conformity with the two- class method required for participating securities as the convertible preferred stock are considered participating securities. The Company’s participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, the net loss was attributed entirely to common stockholders. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares): June 30, 2022 2021 Common stock options issued and outstanding 7,544,646 5,190,989 Warrants to purchase common stock 14,884 14,884 ESPP shares pending issuance 9,072 12,536 Total 7,568,602 5,218,409 Recent Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In April 2012, the Jump-Start Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an emerging growth company. As an emerging growth company, the Company may elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they become effective for non-public companies, which typically is later than when public companies must adopt the standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act and, as a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for emerging growth companies . |

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 3. The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices 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 assets or liabilities. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short term nature of those instruments. The following tables summarize the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements At Reporting Date Using Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) As of June 30, 2022 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 755 $ 755 $ — $ — Commercial paper 33,323 — 33,323 — Total cash and cash equivalents 34,078 755 33,323 — Short term investments: Commercial paper $ 99,911 $ — $ 99,911 $ — U.S. government and agency securities 15,912 15,912 — — 115,823 15,912 99,911 — Total assets measured at fair value $ 149,901 $ 16,667 $ 133,234 $ — The Company had no financial instruments measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021. The Company determines the fair value of its marketable securities based on one or more valuations from its investment accounting and reporting service provider. The investment service provider values the securities using a hierarchical security pricing model that relies primarily on valuations provided by an industry-recognized valuation service. Such valuations may be based on trade prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or valuation models using inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs), such as quoted prices for similar assets, yield curves, volatility factors, credit spreads, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments or debt, and broker and dealer quotes, as well as other relevant economic measures. There were no transfers within the hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. At December 31, 2020, Level 3 liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of warrants to purchase shares of convertible preferred stock and a preferred stock purchase right liability. The Company had no Level 3 liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 as the liabilities for the warrants to purchase shares of convertible preferred stock and the preferred stock purchase right was remeasured and reclassified to stockholders’ equity upon the closing of the Company’s IPO in March 2021 and the issuance of shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock in January 2021, respectively. Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The convertible preferred stock warrant liability was recorded at fair value utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs consistent with the inputs used for the Company’s stock-based compensation expense adjusted for the preferred stock warrants’ expected term and the fair value of the underlying preferred stock. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability at the date of the IPO were as follows: IPO Date Fair value of underlying preferred stock $ 1.90 Risk-free interest rate 1.70 % Expected volatility 70.00 % Expected term (in years) 9.0 Expected dividend yield —% Preferred Stock Purchase Right Liability Upon the issuance of the shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock in January 2021, the liability was remeasured using a valuation model that considered: (i) the risk-free rate commensurate with the expected milestone timing of 0.09%; (ii) the probability of the Series D-2 tranche of 80.0%; (iii) volatility of 80.0%; (iv) consideration received for the Series D-1 preferred stock; (v) the number of shares to be issued to satisfy the preferred stock purchase right and at what price; and (vi) certain implied and provided assumptions needed to calibrate the Series D-1 value and the Series D-2 purchase right, and as Activity of Liabilities Using Fair Value Level 3 Measurements The following table summarizes the activity of the financial instruments valued using Level 3 inputs (in thousands): Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Right Liability Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 64 $ 3,900 Change in fair value 105 980 Conversion/Settlement during 2021 (169 ) (4,880 ) Balance at June 30, 2021 $ — $ — |

Collaboration and License Agreements | 6. Collaboration and License Agreements Exclusive License Agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center In September 2017, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Cedars-Sinai), a related party, as amended and restated (the Cedars-Sinai Agreement). Under the terms of the Cedars-Sinai Agreement, Cedars-Sinai granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide, royalty bearing license with respect to certain patent rights, information and materials related to therapeutic targets and companion diagnostic products, in each case to conduct research, develop, and commercialize therapeutic and diagnostic products for human use. The licensed technology includes information and materials arising out of Cedars-Sinai’s database and biobank, as well as exclusive access to this database and biobank, which is an integral part of the Company’s Prometheus360 platform. In August 2021, the Company and Cedars-Sinai amended and restated the Cedars-Sinai Agreement to, among other things, add a joint steering committee and cover new intellectual property. As consideration for the license rights, in September 2017 the Company issued (i) 257,500 shares of fully vested common stock, and (ii) 335,000 shares of unvested restricted common stock, all of which is vested as of December 31, 2020. The fair value of all of the shares were measured at the date of issuance. The shares of unvested restricted common stock had vesting conditions tied to continuing services required of certain Cedars-Sinai employees pursuant to consulting agreements with the Company. One third of the restricted shares were released from restriction annually on the anniversary of the Cedars-Sinai Agreement over a three-year Co-Development and Manufacturing Agreement with Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH In July 2020, the Company entered into a Co-Development and Manufacturing Agreement (the Falk Agreement) with Dr. Falk Pharma GMBH (Falk), pursuant to which the parties will co-develop and commercialize, exclusively in their respective territories, therapeutic product candidates targeting members of the TNF super family for the treatment of UC and CD under the Company’s PRA052 program. Under the Falk Agreement, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct development activities under an agreed development plan and the Company is responsible for regulatory approvals and commercialization of any products in the United States and the rest of the world, other than the Falk territory. Falk is responsible for regulatory approvals and commercialization of any products in the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, the countries of the European Economic Area (excluding Malta and the Republic of Cyprus), Australia and New Zealand (Falk territory). Falk agreed to fund 25% of the Company’s third-party development costs set forth in the development plan. Under the agreement, Falk paid the Company an upfront payment of $2.5 million and made a second payment of $2.5 million following the parties’ mutual agreement on the development plan. In addition, in June 2021, Falk made a milestone payment to the Company of $10 million upon the selection of a clinical candidate for the PRA052 program and, in December 2021, Falk made the final milestone payment of $5 million, based on the Company’s . The Company has identified one performance obligation for all the deliverables under the Falk Agreement. Accordingly, the Company is recognizing revenue for the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation in an amount proportional to the collaboration expenses incurred and the total estimated collaboration expenses over the eight-year The Company included the upfront payment and all milestone payments in the transaction price as it was deemed not probable of significant reversal at the inception of the agreement. In connection with the Falk Agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $1.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4.0 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 , respectively eight-year .

Long Term Debt | 7 . Long Term Debt In January 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Oxford Finance LLC and its affiliates (Oxford) (the Oxford Loan) which provided up to $25.0 million, of which $7.5 million was drawn upon execution of the agreement. Interest accrued at an annual rate at the greater of (a) the 30-day U.S. LIBOR rate reported the last business day of the month that immediately precedes the month in which the interest will accrue, or (b) 2.01%, plus 5.98%, with a minimum annual rate of 7.99%. From March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2023, the Company was required to make interest only payments. Beginning March 1, 2023, in addition to interest payments, the monthly payments were to include an amount equal to the outstanding principal divided by 24 months. At maturity (or earlier prepayment), the Company was also required to make a final payment equal to 4.0% of the original principal amount borrowed and 3% of the future amount to be funded. The Loan Agreement was collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property, which was subject to a negative pledge. In connection with execution of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued Oxford a warrant to purchase 112,500 shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, exercisable at any time following issuance. The preferred stock warrant has a term of ten years. The warrant became exercisable for an aggregate of 14,884 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.558 per share upon the completion of the Company’s IPO. In July 2021, the Company voluntarily prepaid the aggregate outstanding principal balance of $7.5 million plus an additional $0.5 million consisting of the prepayment penalty, accrued interest, and final payment due under the terms of the Oxford Loan, and the Loan Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms. All liens and security interests securing the Oxford Loan were released upon termination. The Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on extinguishment on the Company’s condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. |

Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) | 8 . Amended Certificate of Incorporation In March 2021, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 400,000,000 shares of common stock and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Convertible Preferred Stock In connection with the completion of the Company’s IPO on March 16, 2021, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into 25,485,955 shares of the Company’s common stock and outstanding warrants to purchase 148,848 shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into warrants to purchase 14,884 shares of the Company’s common stock. Series D Convertible Preferred Stock In October 2020, the Company entered into a Series D convertible preferred stock purchase agreement (Series D SPA) under which it issued 61,066,216 shares of Series D-1 convertible preferred stock, for cash, at a price of $0.7558 per share, for net proceeds of $46.2 million (the Initial Series D Closing). In addition, 5,088,851 shares of Series D-1 convertible preferred stock were issued to Nestlé in satisfaction of a deferred purchase price obligation of $3.8 million. The Series D SPA contained provisions that potentially obligated the Company to issue an additional 94,007,051 shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock at $0.8510 per share in an additional closing, 7,231,311 of which was issuable to Nestlé for satisfaction of deferred purchase price obligations of $6.2 million, upon the approval by the Company’s board of directors, or at the option of the investors who participated in the Initial Series D Closing, or upon the achievement of certain milestones as defined in the Series D SPA, which purchase right terminates upon certain specified events, including an initial public offering of the Company, if any. The Company determined its obligation to issue additional shares of the Company’s Series D-2 convertible preferred stock in the Initial Series D Closing represented a freestanding financial instrument that required liability accounting. This freestanding preferred stock purchase right liability for the additional closing was recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. As of the Initial Series D Closing, the estimated fair value of the preferred stock purchase right liability was $3.9 million. In January 2021, preferred stock purchase right liability was remeasured to fair value and the change in fair value of $1.0 million was recorded in the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The liability was then reclassified to stockholders’ equity. Sale Agreement On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million in “at the market” offerings through the Agent. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Agent. The Agent will receive a commission from the Company of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sale Agreement. The Company is not obligated to sell, and the Agent is not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the Sale Agreement. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any shares of common stock under the Sale Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares of common stock that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place. The Company and the Agent may each terminate the Sale Agreement at any time upon specified prior written notice. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has sold 555,297 shares of its common stock under the Sale Agreement at a weighted average price of $27.31 resulting in net proceeds of approximately $14.0 million. Equity Incentive Plan In 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan), which as amended, had 5,524,354 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. Under the 2017 Plan, the Company could grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards to individuals who are employees, non-employee directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum term of the options granted under the 2017 Plan was no more than ten years. The 2017 Plan allowed for the early exercise of all stock options granted if authorized by the board of directors at the time of grant. In February 2021, the board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the 2021 Plan), which became effective in connection with the IPO. Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the Company ceased granting awards under the 2017 Plan.

The Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is summarized in the following table: Number Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2021 6,474,039 $ 12.18 8.5 $ 177,130 Granted 1,325,947 $ 30.34 Exercised (163,675 ) $ 2.73 Cancelled/forfeited (91,665 ) $ 20.54 Outstanding at June 30, 2022 7,544,646 $ 15.47 8.3 $ 108,623 Vested or expected to vest at June 30, 2022 7,544,646 $ 15.47 8.3 $ 108,623 Exercisable at June 30, 2022 2,299,870 $ 4.98 6.6 $ 53,483 The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $20.52 and $5.93, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $6.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The grant date fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Risk-free interest rate 2.7 – 3.0% 1.0 – 1.1% 1.5 – 3.0% 0.6 – 1.1% Expected volatility 73.8 – 74.4% 73.0 – 74.2% 73.2 – 74.6% 73.0 – 95.2% Expected term (in years) 5.5 – 6.5 5.8 – 6.1 5.5 – 6.5 5.8 – 6.1 Expected dividend yield —% —% —% —% Expected Term —The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s employee stock options has been determined utilizing the simplified method for awards that qualify as plain-vanilla options. Expected Volatility —The estimated volatility was based on the historical volatility of the common stock of a group of publicly traded companies deemed comparable to the Company. Risk-Free Interest Rate —The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield in effect at the time of the option grant based on U.S. Treasury securities with contract maturities similar to the expected term of the Company’s stock options. Dividend Rate —The Company has not paid any cash dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was used. Restricted Stock Units A summary of the Company’s restricted stock units activity is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): Number of Outstanding Awards Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value Balance at December 31, 2021 — Granted 112,886 $ 29.56 Cancelled — Balance at June 30, 2022 112,886 $ — Vested or expected to vest at June 30, 2022 112,886 $ — The Company’s current restricted stock units vest 100% three years from the grant date, subject to continued service. The fair-value of each restricted stock unit is determined on the grant date using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Early Exercise Liability The unvested shares of the early-exercised options are held in escrow until the stock option becomes fully vested or until the employee’s termination, whichever occurs first. The right to repurchase these shares lapses over the four-year The following table summarizes the activity of the unvested common stock issued pursuant to an early exercise of stock option awards for the six months ended June 30, 2022: Unvested at beginning of period 17,606 Vested or cancelled during the period (8,625 ) Unvested at end of period 8,981 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In February 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP), which became effective upon the pricing of the Company’s IPO on March 16, 2021. The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 20% of their eligible compensation. Initially, a total of 360,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will be annually increased on the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the ESPP, beginning with the 2022 fiscal year, by an amount equal to the lessor of: (i) 1% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year; or (ii) such other amount as the Company’s board of directors may determine. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP increased by 1% at January 1, 2022.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, primarily related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, marketable securities, accrued research and development costs, and the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates relating to the valuation of stock require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | Unaudited Interim Financial Information The unaudited financial statements at June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and with GAAP applicable to interim financial statements. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of the interim date and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or future periods. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2022. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by management in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment in the United States for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2022 represents cash in readily available checking and money market accounts, and commercial paper. The cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2021 represents cash in readily available checking and money market accounts. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities primarily consist of commercial paper and U.S. government and agency securities classified within cash and cash equivalents and short term investments depending on their maturity date at the time of purchase. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale and records such assets at estimated fair value in the condensed balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) within the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies marketable securities with remaining maturities greater than one year as current assets because such marketable securities are available to fund the Company’s current operations. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the specific identification method and recorded as interest income (loss). There were no realized gains and losses during any of the periods presented. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. When the Company determines that a decline in the fair value below its cost basis is other-than-temporary, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in the period in which the other-than-temporary decline occurred. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments recognized during any of the periods presented. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is stated at the original invoice amount and consists of certain research and development and contract manufacturing costs subject to reimbursement under the Company’s collaboration agreements. The Company did not record any credit losses as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which ranges from two to ten years. Repairs and maintenance charges that do not increase the useful life of the assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets The Company’s long-lived assets are comprised principally of its property and equipment. If the Company identifies a change in the circumstances related to its long-lived assets that indicates the carrying value of any such asset may not be recoverable, the Company will perform an impairment analysis. A long-lived asset is not recoverable when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (or asset group) are less than the asset’s carrying amount. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating expense. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In accordance with ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps in determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of these agreements: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. To date, all of the Company’s collaboration revenue has been derived from its collaboration agreement with Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH and its collaboration agreement with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (collectively, Takeda) as described in Note 5. The terms of these arrangements include the following types of payments to the Company: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for research and development services provided by the Company; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. At the initiation of an agreement, the Company analyzes whether each unit of account results in a contract with a customer under ASC 606 or in an arrangement with a collaborator subject to guidance under ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808). The Company considers a variety of factors in determining the appropriate estimates and assumptions under these arrangements, such as whether the elements are distinct performance obligations, whether there are observable stand-alone prices, and whether any licenses are functional or symbolic. The Company evaluates each performance obligation to determine if it can be satisfied and recognized as revenue at a point in time or over time. Typically, license fees, non-refundable upfront fees, and funding of research activities are considered fixed, while milestone payments are identified as variable consideration which must be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the most likely amount, as milestone payments typically only have two possible outcomes. The Company recognizes revenue for sales-based royalty promised in exchange for the license of intellectual property only when the subsequent sale occurs. The Company may allocate transaction price using a number of methods including estimating standalone selling price of performance obligations and using the residual approach when the standalone selling price of the license is highly variable or uncertain, and observable standalone selling prices exist for the other goods or services promised in the contract. The Company receives payments from its collaborators based on terms established in each contract. Upfront payments and other payments may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the payment by the customer is akin to a deposit for research and development services. |
Research and Development and Clinical Trial Accruals | Research and Development and Clinical Trial Accruals Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses include certain payroll and personnel expenses, laboratory supplies, consulting costs, external contract research and development expenses, and allocated overhead, including rent, information technology, property and equipment depreciation and utilities. Advance payments for goods or services for future research and development activities are deferred and expensed as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Company estimates preclinical studies and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on the Company’s behalf. In addition, clinical study and trial materials are manufactured by contract manufacturing organizations. In accruing for these services, the Company estimates the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. These estimates are based on communications with the third-party service providers and the Company’s estimates of accrued expenses and on information available at each balance sheet date. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees related to stock options, restricted stock units, and shares granted under the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of applicable awards recognized over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis, net of actual forfeitures during the period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and shares purchased under the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. |
Valuation of Common Stock | Valuation of Common Stock Prior to the IPO, given the absence of a public trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s board of directors exercised their judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock, such as: contemporaneous valuations performed by independent third-party specialists, its stage of development, including the status of its research and development efforts of its product candidates, the material risks related to its businesses and industry, its results of operations before discontinued operations and financial position, including its levels of capital resources, the prices at which its sold shares of its convertible preferred stock, the rights, preferences and privileges of its convertible preferred stock relative to those of its common stock, the conditions in the biotechnology industry and the economy in general, the stock price performance and volatility of comparable life sciences public companies, as well as recently completed mergers and acquisitions of peer companies, the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the holders of its common stock or convertible preferred stock, such as an IPO or a sale of the Company given prevailing market conditions, trends and developments in its industry, external market conditions affecting the life sciences and biotechnology sectors, and the lack of liquidity of its common stock, among other factors. After the completion of the IPO, the fair value of each share of common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Global Select Market. |
Preferred Stock Purchase Right Liabilities | Preferred Stock Purchase Right Liabilities From time to time, the Company entered into convertible preferred stock financings where, in addition to the initial closing, investors agreed to buy, and the Company agreed to sell, additional shares of that convertible preferred stock at a fixed price in the event that certain conditions are met, or agreed upon milestones are achieved. The Company evaluated this purchase right and assessed whether it met the definition of a freestanding instrument and, if so, determined the fair value of the purchase right liability and recorded it on the balance sheet with the remainder of the proceeds raised allocated to convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock purchase right liability was revalued at each reporting period with changes in the fair value of the liability recorded as change in fair value of preferred stock purchase right liability in the statements of operations. Upon the issuance of the shares of Series D-2 convertible preferred stock in January 2021, the no longer required liability accounting and the then fair value of the was reclassified into stockholders’ equity. The Company performed the final remeasurement of the preferred stock purchase right liability |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. Comprehensive gains (losses) have been reflected in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. The Company has excluded 11,084 and 13,231 weighted average shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 35,369 and 41,654 weighted average shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common holders per share is presented in conformity with the two- class method required for participating securities as the convertible preferred stock are considered participating securities. The Company’s participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, the net loss was attributed entirely to common stockholders. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares): June 30, 2022 2021 Common stock options issued and outstanding 7,544,646 5,190,989 Warrants to purchase common stock 14,884 14,884 ESPP shares pending issuance 9,072 12,536 Total 7,568,602 5,218,409 |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In April 2012, the Jump-Start Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an emerging growth company. As an emerging growth company, the Company may elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they become effective for non-public companies, which typically is later than when public companies must adopt the standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act and, as a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for emerging growth companies . |
