ORGANIZATION | (1) ORGANIZATION Organization ALX Oncology Holdings Inc., or the Company, was formed as a Delaware corporation on April 1, 2020, or Inception. The Company was formed for the purpose of completing the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of ALX Oncology Limited. After Inception, ALX Oncology Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the internal reorganization. As part of the internal reorganization, all of the equity, option and warrant holders of ALX Oncology Limited became equity, option and warrant holders of the Company, holding the same number of corresponding shares, options and/or warrants in the Company as they did in ALX Oncology Limited immediately prior to the internal reorganization. The information included herein is presented as that of ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. unless such information refers to a date prior to April 1, 2020, in which case it will reflect that of ALX Oncology Limited, the predecessor company. The Company is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on helping patients fight cancer by developing therapies that block the CD47 checkpoint pathway and bridge the innate and adaptive immune system. The Company owns subsidiaries, consisting of ALX Oncology Limited, incorporated in Ireland; ALX Oncology Inc., incorporated in the United States, Alexo International Holdings Ltd, incorporated in Malta; Alexo Therapeutics International, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alexo International Holdings Ltd., and Sirpant Therapeutics, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alexo Therapeutics International, or collectively, the Subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the formation and financing of the Company, as well as product development, and has not realized product revenues from its planned principal operations. The Company has no manufacturing facilities and all manufacturing related activities are contracted out to third-party service providers. Management expects to incur additional losses in the future to conduct product candidate research and development and to conduct pre-commercialization activities and recognizes that the Company will likely raise additional capital to fully implement its business plan. The Company intends to raise such capital through the sale of additional equity, debt financings or strategic alliances with third parties. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund its operations or on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to raise additional financing, the Company could be required to significantly reduce operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some of its development programs or its future commercialization efforts, out-license intellectual property rights to its product candidates and sell unsecured assets, or a combination of the above, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and/or its ability to fund its scheduled obligations on a timely basis or at all. The Company believes that the existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund the projected operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Principles of Consolidation All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reverse Stock Split On July 8, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-6.5806 reverse split of its common stock and convertible preferred stock. The par values of the common and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All authorized, issued and outstanding common stock, convertible preferred stock, stock options, warrants, and related per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented. The reverse stock split was effected on July 9, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, clinical trial accruals, fair value of assets and liabilities, Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability, term loan compound derivative liability, term loan, valuation of the Company’s common stock, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company holds its cash and cash equivalents in checking and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market accounts and are stated at fair value. Concentration of Credit Risk, Credit Losses and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits, and invests in money market funds. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of other risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s potential product candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from substitute products and larger companies, securing and protecting proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals or sole-source suppliers. The Company’s product candidates require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and comparable foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales in their respective jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that any product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company was denied approval, approval was delayed or the Company was unable to maintain approval for any product candidate, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. Deferred Offering Costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the equity financing. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future undiscounted net cash flows which the asset or asset group are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company has not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are required to be recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where observable prices or inputs are not available valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables due from related-party, accounts payable, the term loan compound derivative liability and the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The term loan compound derivative liability and the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability are re-measured at the end of every period and carried at fair value (Note 3). The recorded value of the Company’s receivables due from related-party and accounts payable approximates its current fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these items. Term Loan The Company accounts for the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2019, as amended, with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, and WestRiver Innovation Lending Fund VIII, LP, or WestRiver, collectively as lenders, and SVB, as administrative agent and collateral agent, as a liability measured at net proceeds less debt discount and is accreted to the face value of the term loan over its expected term using the effective interest method. The Company considers whether there are any embedded features in its debt instruments that require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivative financial instruments pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging Convertible Preferred Stock The Company records convertible preferred stock net of issuance costs on the dates of issuance, which represents the carrying value. In the event of a change of control of the Company, proceeds will be distributed in accordance with the liquidation preferences set forth in its organization documents unless the holders of convertible preferred stock have converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock. Convertible preferred stock is classified outside of stockholders’ equity (deficit) on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as events triggering the liquidation preferences are not solely within the Company’s control. The Company has elected not to adjust the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares because of the uncertainty of whether or when such an event would occur. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering in July 2020, all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding and accrued cumulative dividends automatically converted into 23,934,533 shares of common stock. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The Company has issued freestanding warrants to purchase its Series B convertible preferred stock. Freestanding warrants for the Company’s convertible preferred stock that are classified outside of permanent equity are recorded at fair value, and are subject to re-measurement at the end of every period until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of an initial public offering. Upon exercise, the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability would be reclassified to additional paid-in capital, with any change in fair value recognized as a component of other expense, net. Following the Company’s initial public offering, the warrants were automatically converted to warrants to purchase shares of common stock (Note 5). The Company revalued the Series B convertible preferred stock warrants as of the completion of the initial public offering and reclassified the outstanding preferred stock warrant liability balance to additional paid-in capital with no further re-measurement required as common stock warrants are considered permanent equity. Revenue Recognition To date, the Company has derived revenue from providing research and development services on a time and materials basis to a related-party. The Company recognizes such revenues over time as services are delivered, and invoices the customer as the work is incurred in arrears. The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers As part of the Company’s consideration as to whether the Company has entered into a contract with a customer, it considers whether it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract that falls under the scope of Topic 606, 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. Cost of Services for Related-Party Revenue The Company incurs costs associated with related-party services including direct labor and associated employee benefits, laboratory supplies, and other expenses. These costs are recorded in cost of services for related-party revenue as a component of total operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, lab supplies and facility costs, as well as fees paid to nonemployees and entities that conduct certain research and development activities on behalf of the Company and expenses incurred in connection with license agreements (Note 9). Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are capitalized and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and then expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed. Clinical and Manufacturing Accruals The Company records accruals for estimated costs of research, preclinical studies and clinical trials, and manufacturing development, which are a significant component of research and development expenses. A substantial portion of the Company’s ongoing research and development activities are conducted by third-party service providers, including contract research organizations, or CROs, and contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs. The Company’s contracts with CROs generally include pass-through fees such as regulatory expenses, investigator fees, travel costs and other miscellaneous costs, including shipping and printing fees. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company under such contracts. The Company accrues the costs incurred under agreements with these third parties based on estimates of actual work completed in accordance with the respective agreements. The Company determines the estimated costs through discussions with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and the agreed-upon fees to be paid for such services. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrual balance at the end of each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the Company’s understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in the Company reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To assist in its estimates the Company relies upon the receipt of timely and accurate reporting from its clinical and non-clinical studies and other third-party vendors. Through December 31, 2020, there have been no material differences from the Company’s accrued estimated expenses to the actual clinical trial expenses. However, variations in the assumptions used to estimate accruals, including, but not limited to, the number of patients enrolled, the rate of patient enrollment, and the actual services performed, and related costs may vary from the Company’s estimates, resulting in adjustments to clinical trial expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to the Company’s accruals could materially affect its financial position and results of operations. Stock-based Compensation Expense The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors and non-employees based on estimated grant-date fair values. The Company uses the straight-line method to allocate compensation expense to reporting periods over each optionee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, and estimates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected dividend yield, expected term, risk-free rate of return and the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock-based awards was determined on each grant date by the board of directors, with input from management, considering the most recently available third-party valuation of common shares. The Company accounts for the effect of forfeitures as they occur. Segment Reporting The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. Foreign Currency Transactions The functional currency of the Company’s operation and each of its subsidiaries is U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the applicable period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and recorded in other expense, net, and were immaterial for the years December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is equal to net loss for all periods presented. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive given the net loss for each period presented. The Company applies the two-class method to compute basic and diluted net loss per share when it has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires net loss available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the earnings as if all net loss for the period had been distributed. The Company’s convertible preferred stock participate in any dividends declared by the Company and are therefore considered to be participating securities. The participating securities are not required to participate in the losses of the Company, and therefore during periods of loss there is no allocation required under the two-class method. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. For trade receivables and other instruments, the Company uses a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally results in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses are recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and there was no allowance for losses for the year ended December 31, 2020. In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The FASB issued final guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. Under the ASU, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Public companies will be required to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | (3) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC Topic 820 defines 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. The fair value hierarchy of ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value and classifies those inputs into three levels: Level 1—Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly 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 instrument’s anticipated life; and Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables due from related-party, accounts payable, the term loan compound derivative liability and the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at their respective fair values on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. The Company classifies money market funds as Level 1. When quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then the Company estimates fair value by using quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs obtained from various third-party data providers, including but not limited to benchmark yields, reported trades and broker/dealer quotes. Where applicable the market approach utilizes prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. The Company measures its Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability and term loan compound derivative liability at fair value on a recurring basis and these are classified as Level 3 liabilities. The fair value of the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability was determined using an option-pricing model. The Company revalued the Series B convertible preferred stock warrants as of the completion of the initial public offering and reclassified the outstanding preferred stock warrant liability balance to additional paid-in capital with no further re-measurement required as the common stock warrants are considered permanent equity effective with the completion of the initial public offering. The Company calculated the fair value of the term loan compound derivative liability by computing the difference between the fair value of the term loan with the compound derivative using the “with and without” method under the income approach, and the fair value of the term loan without the compound derivative. The valuation methodology and underlying assumptions are discussed further in Note 5. The compound derivative liability was extinguished upon the extinguishment of the host instrument in December 2020 (Note 5). The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): As of December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Financial assets Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 424,115 $ — $ — $ 424,115 As of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Financial liabilities Non-current liabilities Compound derivative liability $ — $ — $ 51 $ 51 Warrant liability $ — $ — $ 361 $ 361 The following table is a reconciliation of all financial liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 unobservable inputs (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compound Warrant Derivative Liability Liability Fair value at beginning of year $ 361 $ 51 Additions — — Change in fair value 658 (8 ) Reclassification to equity (1,019 ) — Extinguishment of compound derivative liability upon extinguishment of host instrument — (43 ) Fair value at end of year $ — $ — There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, such as accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. |

TERM LOAN | (5) TERM LOAN The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Alexo Therapeutics International and Sirpant Therapeutics, as borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the Loan Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2019, with SVB and WestRiver, collectively as lenders, and SVB, as administrative agent and collateral agent. As a result of the internal reorganization, in May 2020 the Company entered into a Joinder and First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, or the Joinder Amendment, and Amended and Restated Warrants to Purchase Stock, or the Amended Warrants. The purpose for entering into the Joinder Amendment was to add the newly established ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. as additional borrower to the Term Loan. Concurrently, the Company modified the Amended Warrants to change the issuer from ALX Oncology Limited to ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. The Company accounted for the First Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement as a modification. The Loan Agreement provided for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million funded in two tranches, subject to the satisfaction of a certain milestone. The first tranche, in the amount of $6.0 million, was funded on the closing date of the Loan Agreement in December 2019. A second tranche of $4.0 million was available on or before March 31, 2020, upon the Company’s achievement of an equity financing resulting in net cash proceeds in an amount of at least $30.0 million to the Company. The Company elected not to draw down on the second tranche, which is no longer available. The loans under the Loan Agreement bore interest at a floating per annum interest rate equal to the greater of 7.0% or 2.0% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal. The Company was required to make interest-only payments for the first 12 months after the closing of the Loan Agreement, followed by consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest commencing on January 1, 2021 and continuing through the maturity date of September 1, 2022. The Loan Agreement also provided for a final payment equal to 6.0% multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the term loans funded, which was due on the maturity date, upon the acceleration of the term loans, or upon prepayment of the term loans. If the Company elected to prepay the term loans, there was also a prepayment fee of between 1.0% and 3.0% of the principal amount being prepaid depending on the timing and circumstances of prepayment. In conjunction with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 61,292 Series B convertible preferred stock to SVB and WestRiver with an exercise price of $9.4972 per share. Following the Company’s initial public offering, these warrants were automatically converted to warrants to purchase 61,292 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.4972 per share. The estimated fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was approximately $0.4 million. The Company revalued the Series B convertible preferred stock warrants as of the completion of the initial public offering and reclassified the outstanding preferred stock warrant liability balance of $1.0 million to additional paid-in capital with no further re-measurement required as the common stock warrants are considered permanent equity effective July 16, 2020. The fair value of the common stock warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected term of 9.8 years, a volatility of 84.2%, a dividend rate of zero and a risk-free rate of 0.6%. The changes in fair value in warrant liability were recognized as a component of other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. On August 17, 2020, SVB and WestRiver delivered the Notice of Exercise for net exercise of 61,292 warrants at an exercise price of $9.4972 per share. Accordingly, the Company issued 48,932 shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 6). The loans under the Loan Agreement were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except the Company’s intellectual property, which is the subject of a negative pledge. The Company determined that certain loan features were embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate accounting. Those embedded derivatives were bundled together as a single, compound embedded derivative and then bifurcated and accounted for separately from the host contract. The Company recorded a term loan compound derivative liability of approximately $51,000 which was marked-to-market until the extinguishment of the host instrument. The Company calculated the fair value of the compound derivative by computing the difference between the fair value of the term loan with the compound derivative using the “with and without” method under the income approach, and the fair value of the term loan without the compound derivative. The Company calculated the fair values using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The key valuation assumptions used consist of the discount rate and the probability of the occurrence of a change in control event. The term loan compound derivative liability was re-measured at each financial reporting period with any changes in fair value being recognized as a component of other expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The compound derivative liability was extinguished upon the extinguishment of the host instrument in December 2020. The fair value of Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability at issuance, fair value of embedded derivatives, which were bifurcated and other debt issuance costs were treated as debt discounts on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and together with the final payment were amortized to interest expense throughout the life of the term loan using the effective interest rate method. In December 2020, the Company used approximately $6.5 million of the net proceeds from the Company’s follow-on public offering to repay the outstanding principal amount of $6.0 million and early extinguish the outstanding Term Loan with SVB and WestRiver. As a result, the Company recognized a $0.6 million loss on early debt extinguishment, representing the difference between the reacquisition price of debt and the net carrying amount of the loan as of the date of the payoff. |

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 39,844,522 and 3,166,946 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had zero and 10,313,808 shares of preferred stock outstanding, respectively. Common Stock In July 2020, the Company consummated its initial public offering and issued 9,775,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $169.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $13.0 million and offering-related expenses of $3.2 million. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding and accrued cumulative dividends were automatically converted into 23,934,533 shares of common stock. In December 2020, the Company consummated its follow-on public offering and issued 2,737,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $194.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $12.5 million and offering-related expenses of $0.7 million. Common stock reserved for future issuance, on an as if converted basis, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, consists of the following: December 31, December 31, 2020 2019 Convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding — 10,313,808 Stock options issued and outstanding 4,857,308 1,183,745 Stock options authorized for future issuance 2,835,443 566,900 Warrants issued and outstanding — 61,292 Warrants authorized for future issuance — 30,646 Total 7,692,751 12,156,391 Convertible Preferred Stock As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s convertible preferred stock consisted of the following (in thousands, except share amounts): December 31, 2019 Shares Aggregate Authorized Issued And Net Liquidation Shares Outstanding Proceeds (1) Preference Shares designated as: Series A convertible preferred stock 9,421,633 9,297,081 $ 60,933 $ 73,571 Series B convertible preferred stock 2,145,370 1,016,727 9,430 10,014 Total 11,567,003 10,313,808 $ 70,363 $ 83,585 (1) Net proceeds are gross proceeds from the offerings net of issuance costs Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance In February 2020, the Company entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Series C Agreement, with certain existing investors, employees and new investors, or collectively, the Series C Investors. Under the terms of the Series C Agreement, the Company authorized the sale and issuance of up to 11,055,981 Series C convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $9.4972 per share. All authorized Series C convertible preferred stock have been purchased with gross proceeds of $105.0 million. The Series C convertible preferred stock and related accumulated dividends automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. Preferred Stock Warrant Liability On July 21, 2020, the warrants to purchase 61,292 Series B convertible preferred stock issued to SVB and WestRiver with an exercise price of $9.4972 per share were automatically converted to warrants to purchase 61,292 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.4972 per share. The Company revalued the Series B convertible preferred stock warrants as of the completion of the initial public offering and reclassified the outstanding preferred stock warrant liability balance to additional paid-in capital with no further re-measurement required as the common stock warrants are considered permanent equity. On August 17, 2020, SVB and WestRiver delivered the Notice of Exercise to net exercise 61,292 warrants at an exercise price of $9.4972 per share. Accordingly, the Company issued 48,932 shares of the Company’s common stock. Dividends Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, cumulative dividends of 6.0% per annum of the original issue price for each convertible preferred stock series were payable when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, or Board of Directors, upon the occurrence of a liquidation event or upon a contingent mandatory conversion of the convertible preferred stock in connection with a qualified initial public offering as described below. The Series A original issue price was $6.58, and the Series B and Series C original issue price was $9.4972. The original issue price was subject to adjustment in the event of any share dividend, share split, combination, consolidation or other recapitalization. The dividends accrued from day to day from the issue date of such preferred stock whether or not declared and were cumulative. In addition, the preferred stockholders participated on an as-converted basis in any dividends payable to common stockholders. As of July 20, 2020, there were approximately $18.0 million of accrued cumulative dividends on the Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock, which became payable upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering and automatically converted into 2,564,759 shares of the Company’s common stock. |

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | (7) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Equity Incentive Plans 2015 Share Award Scheme During 2015, the Company adopted an equity compensation plan, the 2015 Share Award Scheme, or the 2015 Share Award Scheme, for eligible employees, officers, directors, advisors, and consultants. The 2015 Share Award Scheme provided for the grant of incentive and non-statutory share options. The 2015 Share Award Scheme permitted the Company to grant up to 2,143,117 common stock awards, including incentive share options, non-statutory share options, conditional share awards and restricted share awards. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan On April 1, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a new equity incentive plan, or the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, that replaced the 2015 Share Award Scheme. The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is for employees, non-employee directors and consultants covering 4,379,139 shares of the Company’s common stock and authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. 2020 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan In July 2020, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan replaced the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and a total of 7,874,862 shares were reserved under the 2020 Plan. The terms of the stock option agreements, including vesting requirements, are determined by the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the 2020 Plan. The term of the options generally expire, upon the earliest of (i) termination of continuous service for cause (ii) three months after the termination of continuous service for reasons other than cause, death or disability (iii) twelve months after the termination of continuous service due to disability (iv) eighteen months after the employee’s death if the employee died during the period of continuous service (v) expiration date in the grant notice or (vi) the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of the incentive share options must equal at least the fair market value of the share on the date of grant. All awards that are canceled, forfeited or expired are returned to the 2020 Plan and are available for grant in conjunction with the issuance of new awards. Share options granted are exercisable over a maximum term of 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over an agreed service period, usually four years. Certain share options granted under the 2020 Plan provide option holders the right to elect to exercise unvested options in exchange for common stock. Such unvested common stock is subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the original issuance price in the event the optionee’s service to the Company is terminated either voluntarily or involuntarily. The right lapses as the underlying repurchase right expires. These repurchase terms are considered to be a forfeiture provision. The cash received from employees for exercise of unvested options is treated as a refundable deposit and is classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were unvested early exercised options of 63 and 34,024, respectively, and the liability related to these unvested options was approximately $0 and $27,000, respectively. Stock Option Modification In connection with the transfer of employees to Tallac Therapeutics, Dr. Hong Wan, the Company’s former Chief Scientific Officer, and eight of the Company’s employees, or Transferred Employees, terminated their employment with the Company effective as of June 30, 2020 and became employees of Tallac Therapeutics effective as of July 1, 2020. The options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that were previously granted to the Transferred Employees will continue to vest and be exercisable subject to the Transferred Employees remaining service providers under the original terms of the award. The Company evaluated the change in status from an employee to a consultant in accordance with ASC 718. While the Company concluded that the change in status did not affect the vesting condition or the classification of the initial awards, the significant reduction in the level of services that the grantees were expected to provide under the original awards as compared to the level of services expected under the Tallac Services Agreement will no longer meet the substantive service condition requirements and therefore the compensation cost for the unvested awards was recognized immediately with no future service requirement. In September 2020, in connection with the resignation of the Company’s former Chief Business Officer and the entry into a consulting agreement with him, the Company evaluated the change in status from an employee to a consultant in accordance with ASC 718. While the Company concluded that the change in status did not affect the vesting condition or the classification of the initial awards, the significant reduction in the level of services that the grantee was expected to provide under the original awards as compared to the level of services expected under the consulting agreement will no longer meet the substantive service condition requirements and therefore the compensation expense for the unvested awards expected to vest during the consultancy was recognized immediately with no future service requirement. The Company recorded $1.7 million in stock-based compensation expenses related to the modifications for the year ended December 31, 2020. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In July 2020, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to have up to 15 percent of their eligible compensation withheld and used to purchase common stock, subject to a maximum of $25,000 worth of stock purchased in a calendar year or no more than 3,000 shares in an offering period, whichever is less. An offering period consists of a six-month purchase period, with a look back feature to our stock price at the commencement of the offering period. Eligible employees can purchase the Company’s common stock at the end of the offering period at 85% of the lower of the closing price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the first and last day of the offering periods. The initial number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP, was 400,000. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, beginning on January 1, 2021, the maximum number of shares which shall be made available for sale under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each calendar year during the term of the ESPP by an amount equal to the least of: • 800,000 shares; • one percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year; or • such number of shares as our board of directors may determine no later than the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year. In January 2021, the Board of Directors approved the first offering period beginning February 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there were no purchases under the ESPP. Stock Option Activity The following table provides a summary of share option activity under the Plan and related information: Outstanding Options Shares Available to Grant Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 566,900 1,183,745 $ 1.37 8.06 $ 638 Authorized 6,124,217 — Granted (3,857,655 ) 3,857,655 $ 10.92 Exercised — (182,111 ) $ 1.65 Canceled/forfeited 1,981 (1,981 ) $ 0.99 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 2,835,443 4,857,308 $ 8.94 8.86 $ 375,270 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 3,776,399 $ 3.85 8.65 $ 310,999 As of December 31, 2020, there was unrecognized share-based compensation expense of $25.0 million, related to unvested share options which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. The aggregate intrinsic values represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value, of options outstanding and exercisable calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $4.4 million, immaterial and immaterial, respectively. Stock-based Compensation Expenses Compensation cost for share options granted is based on the grant-date fair value estimated and is recognized over the vesting period of the applicable option on a straight-line basis. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share for share options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $7.74, $1.27 and $1.14, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense includes share options granted to employees and nonemployees and has been reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Research and development $ 2,551 $ 105 $ 195 General and administrative 2,885 33 16 Cost of services for related-party revenue — 159 58 $ 5,436 $ 297 $ 269 Stock Option Valuation Assumptions The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of stock options at the date of the grant, and stock-based compensation is adjusted for actual forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of each option grant during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was estimated with the Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Expected term (in years) 5.8 - 6.1 4.4 - 6.0 5.2 - 6.0 Risk-free interest rate 0.3% - 0.8% 1.7% - 2.1% 2.6% - 3.0% Expected dividend rate - - - Expected stock price volatility 78.7% - 89.0% 75.2% - 80.5% 66.5% - 68.7% Expected Term. The expected term of the options represents the average period the share options are expected to remain outstanding. As the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior, the expected term of options granted is derived from the average midpoint between the weighted average vesting and the contractual term, also known as the simplified method. Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury notes as of the grant date with terms commensurate with the expected term of the option. Dividend Yield. The expected dividends assumption is based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Volatility. Since the Company does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock, the expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of the common shares of comparable publicly traded companies. The Company selected companies with comparable characteristics, including enterprise value, risk profiles, position within the industry, and with historical share price information sufficient to meet the expected life of the Company’s share-based awards. Fair Value . Historically, for all periods prior to our initial public offering, the fair value of the shares of common stock underlying our stock option was determined by the Company’s board of directors. Because there was no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors determined fair value of the common stock at the time of grant of the options by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including important developments in the Company’s operations, valuations performed by an independent third party, sales of convertible preferred stock, actual operating results and financial performance, the conditions in the biotechnology industry and the economy in general, the stock price performance and volatility of comparable public companies, and the lack of liquidity of the Company’s common stock, among other factors. Since the completion of our initial public offering, the fair value of each share of common stock underlying stock option grants is based on the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as reported on the date of grant. |

Accordingly, the deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $4.6 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands): Amount Expiration Years Net operating losses, federal (Post December 31, 2017) $ 7,919 Do Not Expire Net operating losses, state $ 71,363 2038-2040 Tax credits, federal $ 1,327 2039-2040 Tax credits, state $ 2,893 N/A Net operating losses, foreign $ 5,086 N/A Utilization of the Company’s U.S. net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such annual limitation could result in the expiration of the U.S. net operating loss and credit carryforwards before utilization. To date, the Company has not performed an analysis to determine whether there would be a substantial annual limitation due to a change in ownership. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company’s 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 and comprehensive loss. If the Company is eventually able to recognize its uncertain tax positions, the Company’s effective tax rate would be reduced. The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset which would impact the timing of the effective tax rate benefit should any of these uncertain tax positions be favorably settled in the future. The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Future changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will not impact the effective tax rate due to the Company's full valuation allowance. The Company will file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and California jurisdiction, is not currently under examination, and all years since inception are open to examination. The Company has the following activity relating to unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of year $ 692 $ 418 $ 247 Additions/reversals based on tax positions of prior years (64 ) 2 11 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 240 272 160 Lapses in statutes of limitations (26 ) — — Balance at end of year $ 842 $ 692 $ 418 Although it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next 12 months due to tax examination changes, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations or the impact on recognition and measurement considerations related to the results of published tax cases or other similar activities, the Company does not anticipate any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, no interest or penalties were required to be recognized relating to unrecognized tax benefits. |

LICENSE AGREEMENT | (9) LICENSE AGREEMENT Exclusive (Equity) Agreement with The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University In March 2015, the Company entered into a license agreement, or the Stanford Agreement, with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, or Stanford, under which the Company obtained a worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under certain patents relating to the Company’s current product candidates, to develop, manufacture and commercialize products for use in certain licensed fields, the scope of which would include the application of the licensed intellectual property in oncology. The license granted to the Company in the Stanford Agreement includes an exclusive grant, subject to certain pre-existing non-exclusive or exclusive rights that Stanford retained for grant to third parties with respect to certain categories of the licensed patents in certain fields of use and retained rights by Stanford and all other nonprofit institutions to use and practice the licensed patents and technology for internal research and other nonprofit purposes. The license granted to the Company in the Stanford Agreement also includes non-exclusive grants to certain Stanford patents. In consideration for the rights granted to the Company under the Stanford Agreement, the Company paid Stanford a nonrefundable license royalty and reimbursed Stanford for past patent expenses, together totaling less than $0.1 million, and granted Stanford a specified number of shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Stanford ongoing patent expenses and an annual license maintenance fee, which are nominal and will be creditable against any royalties payable to Stanford in the applicable year. The Company is required to make milestone payments up to an aggregate of $5.0 million in respect of a specified number of licensed products that successfully satisfy certain clinical and regulatory milestones. No milestone payments have been made through December 31, 2020. The Company also agreed to pay Stanford tiered royalties on a specified percentage of net sales made by the Company, its affiliates and its sublicensees of licensed products at rates ranging within low single-digit percentages, subject to certain reductions and offsets. The license, on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis, shall become royalty-free and fully paid-up upon the later of the date on which the last valid claim included in the exclusively or non-exclusively licensed patents expires and ten years after the first commercial sale of the licensed product in such country. The Company may terminate the Stanford Agreement, on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis, at any time for any reason by providing at least 60 days’ written notice to Stanford. Stanford may terminate the Stanford Agreement, if the Company is in breach of any provision of the Stanford Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within 60 days after written notice of such breach by Stanford. In addition, Stanford has the right to terminate the Stanford Agreement, on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis, if the Company is not diligently developing and commercializing such licensed product under certain conditions or if the Company fails to achieve specified development milestones for such licensed product by certain dates, subject to the Company’s extension rights. Commercial License Agreement with Selexis SA In June 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Selexis SA, or Selexis, under which the Company obtained a worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license under certain patents, know-how and other intellectual property, to use Selexis generated cell lines to manufacture ALX148 and to make, use and sell licensed product containing such compound in all fields of use. The rights granted under this agreement include the rights to grant sublicenses to contractors or other collaboration partners, in each case to develop production processes or manufacture licensed product containing ALX148. In consideration for the rights granted to the Company under the agreement, the Company paid Selexis a nominal one-time fee and will pay Selexis an annual maintenance fee. The Company also agreed to pay Selexis milestone payments up to an aggregate of 1.2 million Swiss Francs in respect of all licensed products developed and/or commercialized under the grant that successfully satisfies certain milestone events. The Company also agreed to pay Selexis a flat royalty of a very low single-digit percentage on net sales made by the Company, its affiliates and sublicensees of products. This royalty obligation, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, shall terminate and become fully paid-up upon the passing of ten years after the first commercial sale of the product in such country, or the Company’s exercise of the royalty buyout option exercisable at any time prior to the first commercial sale of a licensed product. The Company may terminate the license agreement at any time for any reason with at least 60 days’ written notice to Selexis. Either party may terminate the license agreement if the other party enters into a bankruptcy event or in the event of a material breach of the agreement (that cannot be cured or remains uncured for 60 days after the date that the defaulting party is provided with written notice of such breach). The Company’s obligations to pay royalties that are accrued or accruable will survive any termination of the agreement, and in certain circumstances the licenses granted under the agreement will terminate unless they have become fully paid up as described in the previous paragraph. Commercial Antibody Agreement with Crystal Bioscience Inc. (Now a Subsidiary of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated) In March 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Crystal Bioscience Inc. (now a subsidiary of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated), or Crystal, under which the Company obtained an assignment of certain patents, covering certain SIRPα antibodies. Under this agreement, the Company also received a worldwide, royalty-bearing non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers of sublicenses, under certain of Crystal’s background patents and know-how necessary to commercialize the rights under the assigned patents. In consideration for the rights granted to the Company under the agreement, it agreed to pay Crystal milestone payments up to $11.1 million in respect of all licensed products developed under the assigned patents, that successfully satisfy certain clinical and regulatory milestones, each milestone being paid only once for all products. The Company also agreed to pay Crystal tiered royalties on net sales made by the Company, its affiliates and sublicensees of products at rates ranging within low single-digit percentages, subject to certain potential reductions. This royalty obligation, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, shall terminate and become fully paid-up upon the later of the date on which the last valid claim included in the licensed patents expires and ten years after the first commercial sale of the product in such country. The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize licensed products, including meeting defined development milestones by certain specified dates. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time for any reason with at least 60 days’ written notice to Crystal. Either party may terminate the agreement if the other party enters into a bankruptcy event or in the event of material breach of the agreement (that remains uncured for 60 days after the date that it is provided with written notice of such breach). The Company’s obligations to pay royalties and milestone payments which accrued pre-termination or accrue post-termination will survive any termination. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | (12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees and Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations. The Company also has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for specified events or occurrences, subject to some limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacities. There have been no claims to date and the Company has director and officer insurance that may enable the Company to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future potential claims. The Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2020. Contingencies From time to time, the Company may be a party to various claims in the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions will be expensed as incurred. The Company will assess, in conjunction with its legal counsel, the need to record a liability for litigation and contingencies. Reserve estimates will be recorded when and if it is determined that a loss related matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no pending or threatened litigation. Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments The Company has contractual obligations from its operating lease, manufacturing and service contracts and other research and development activities.

(2) In November 2015, the Company entered into a Master Service Agreement, or the MSA, with KBI Biopharma, Inc. relating to formulation development, process development and cGMP manufacturing of ALX148 for use in clinical trials on a project basis. The MSA had an initial term of three years with successive one-year renewal periods, is cancellable upon notice and is non-exclusive. Statements of work under the MSA commit the Company to certain purchase obligations of approximately $9.9 million. In addition, the Company has commitments with a second drug product manufacturer that commits the Company to certain purchase obligations of approximately $0.4 million. These amounts are based on non-cancellable commitments and forecasts that include estimates of future market demand, quantity discounts and manufacturing efficiencies that may impact timing of purchases. The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties for clinical trials, preclinical research studies and testing, manufacturing and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination upon notice. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation. These payments are not included in the table of contractual obligations above. Facilities In 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space for a period of five years and four months, commencing February 1, 2018 and ending May 31, 2023.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, clinical trial accruals, fair value of assets and liabilities, Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability, term loan compound derivative liability, term loan, valuation of the Company’s common stock, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company holds its cash and cash equivalents in checking and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market accounts and are stated at fair value. |
Concentration Of Credit Risk, Credit Losses And Other Risks And Uncertainties | Concentration of Credit Risk, Credit Losses and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits, and invests in money market funds. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of other risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s potential product candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from substitute products and larger companies, securing and protecting proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals or sole-source suppliers. The Company’s product candidates require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and comparable foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales in their respective jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that any product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company was denied approval, approval was delayed or the Company was unable to maintain approval for any product candidate, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. |
Deferred Offering Costs | Deferred Offering Costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the equity financing. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future undiscounted net cash flows which the asset or asset group are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined using various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company has not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are required to be recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where observable prices or inputs are not available valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables due from related-party, accounts payable, the term loan compound derivative liability and the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability. The term loan compound derivative liability and the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability are re-measured at the end of every period and carried at fair value (Note 3). The recorded value of the Company’s receivables due from related-party and accounts payable approximates its current fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these items. |
Term Loan | Term Loan The Company accounts for the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2019, as amended, with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, and WestRiver Innovation Lending Fund VIII, LP, or WestRiver, collectively as lenders, and SVB, as administrative agent and collateral agent, as a liability measured at net proceeds less debt discount and is accreted to the face value of the term loan over its expected term using the effective interest method. The Company considers whether there are any embedded features in its debt instruments that require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivative financial instruments pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging |
Convertible Preferred Stock | Convertible Preferred Stock The Company records convertible preferred stock net of issuance costs on the dates of issuance, which represents the carrying value. In the event of a change of control of the Company, proceeds will be distributed in accordance with the liquidation preferences set forth in its organization documents unless the holders of convertible preferred stock have converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock. Convertible preferred stock is classified outside of stockholders’ equity (deficit) on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as events triggering the liquidation preferences are not solely within the Company’s control. The Company has elected not to adjust the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares because of the uncertainty of whether or when such an event would occur. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering in July 2020, all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding and accrued cumulative dividends automatically converted into 23,934,533 shares of common stock. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition To date, the Company has derived revenue from providing research and development services on a time and materials basis to a related-party. The Company recognizes such revenues over time as services are delivered, and invoices the customer as the work is incurred in arrears. The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers As part of the Company’s consideration as to whether the Company has entered into a contract with a customer, it considers whether it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract that falls under the scope of Topic 606, 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. |
Cost of Services for Related-Party Revenue | Cost of Services for Related-Party Revenue The Company incurs costs associated with related-party services including direct labor and associated employee benefits, laboratory supplies, and other expenses. These costs are recorded in cost of services for related-party revenue as a component of total operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, lab supplies and facility costs, as well as fees paid to nonemployees and entities that conduct certain research and development activities on behalf of the Company and expenses incurred in connection with license agreements (Note 9). Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are capitalized and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and then expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed. |
Clinical and Manufacturing Accruals | Clinical and Manufacturing Accruals The Company records accruals for estimated costs of research, preclinical studies and clinical trials, and manufacturing development, which are a significant component of research and development expenses. A substantial portion of the Company’s ongoing research and development activities are conducted by third-party service providers, including contract research organizations, or CROs, and contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs. The Company’s contracts with CROs generally include pass-through fees such as regulatory expenses, investigator fees, travel costs and other miscellaneous costs, including shipping and printing fees. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company under such contracts. The Company accrues the costs incurred under agreements with these third parties based on estimates of actual work completed in accordance with the respective agreements. The Company determines the estimated costs through discussions with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and the agreed-upon fees to be paid for such services. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrual balance at the end of each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the Company’s understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and could result in the Company reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To assist in its estimates the Company relies upon the receipt of timely and accurate reporting from its clinical and non-clinical studies and other third-party vendors. Through December 31, 2020, there have been no material differences from the Company’s accrued estimated expenses to the actual clinical trial expenses. However, variations in the assumptions used to estimate accruals, including, but not limited to, the number of patients enrolled, the rate of patient enrollment, and the actual services performed, and related costs may vary from the Company’s estimates, resulting in adjustments to clinical trial expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to the Company’s accruals could materially affect its financial position and results of operations. |
Stock-based Compensation Expense | Stock-based Compensation Expense The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors and non-employees based on estimated grant-date fair values. The Company uses the straight-line method to allocate compensation expense to reporting periods over each optionee’s requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, and estimates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, expected dividend yield, expected term, risk-free rate of return and the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock-based awards was determined on each grant date by the board of directors, with input from management, considering the most recently available third-party valuation of common shares. The Company accounts for the effect of forfeitures as they occur. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. |
Foreign Currency Transactions | Foreign Currency Transactions The functional currency of the Company’s operation and each of its subsidiaries is U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the applicable period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and recorded in other expense, net, and were immaterial for the years December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit. |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is equal to net loss for all periods presented. |
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders | Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive given the net loss for each period presented. The Company applies the two-class method to compute basic and diluted net loss per share when it has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires net loss available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the earnings as if all net loss for the period had been distributed. The Company’s convertible preferred stock participate in any dividends declared by the Company and are therefore considered to be participating securities. The participating securities are not required to participate in the losses of the Company, and therefore during periods of loss there is no allocation required under the two-class method. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted | New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. For trade receivables and other instruments, the Company uses a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally results in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses are recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and there was no allowance for losses for the year ended December 31, 2020. In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The FASB issued final guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. Under the ASU, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Public companies will be required to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
Series B Preferred Stock | |
Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability | Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The Company has issued freestanding warrants to purchase its Series B convertible preferred stock. Freestanding warrants for the Company’s convertible preferred stock that are classified outside of permanent equity are recorded at fair value, and are subject to re-measurement at the end of every period until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of an initial public offering. Upon exercise, the Series B convertible preferred stock warrant liability would be reclassified to additional paid-in capital, with any change in fair value recognized as a component of other expense, net. Following the Company’s initial public offering, the warrants were automatically converted to warrants to purchase shares of common stock (Note 5). The Company revalued the Series B convertible preferred stock warrants as of the completion of the initial public offering and reclassified the outstanding preferred stock warrant liability balance to additional paid-in capital with no further re-measurement required as common stock warrants are considered permanent equity. |
