Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Organization	Business and Organization Organization Fibrocell Science, Inc. (as used herein, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Fibrocell” or the “Company”) is the parent company of Fibrocell Technologies, Inc. (Fibrocell Tech). Fibrocell Tech is the parent company of Isolagen International, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (Isolagen Switzerland). The Company’s international activities are currently immaterial. Business Overview Fibrocell is an autologous cell and gene therapy company translating personalized biologics into medical breakthroughs. The Company is focused on discovering and developing therapies for the localized treatment of diseases affecting the skin and connective tissue. All of the Company’s product candidates incorporate its proprietary autologous fibroblast technology. The Company’s research and development efforts focus on gaining regulatory approvals of its product candidates in the United States. Liquidity and Financial Condition The Company expects to continue to incur losses and will require additional capital to advance its product candidates through development to commercialization. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $20.6 million and working capital of approximately $ 18.2 million . The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2017 will be sufficient to fund operations into the second quarter of 2018. The Company will require additional capital to fund operations beyond that point. To meet its capital needs, the Company intends to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, collaborations, partnerships or other strategic transactions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. On March 10, 2017, the Company implemented a one-for-three reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the Reverse Stock Split), as authorized at a special meeting of stockholders on March 1, 2017. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on March 10, 2017 at 5:00 pm and the Company’s common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market on a post-split basis at the open of business on March 13, 2017. As of a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every three shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of its common stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, which was rounded up to the next highest whole share. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the nominal par value per share of $0.001 . The Reverse Stock Split was effectuated in order to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. By letter dated March 27, 2017, The NASDAQ Capital Market Listing Qualification Department, confirmed that the Company's common stock was in compliance with listing requirements. All share and per share amounts of common stock, options and warrants in the accompanying financial statements have been restated for all periods to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity reflects the impact of the Reverse Stock Split by reclassifying from “Common Stock” to “Additional paid-in capital” an amount equal to the par value of the decreased shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation General The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in Note 3 in this Form 10-Q. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or full year. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's international operations are immaterial and it has no unrealized gains or losses from the sale of investments. As a result, it does not have any items that would be classified as other comprehensive income in such a statement.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Convertible Instruments The Company has utilized various types of financing to fund its business needs, including convertible debt and convertible preferred stock with detachable warrants. The Company considers guidance within Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20), ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) when accounting for the issuance of its convertible securities. Additionally, the Company reviews the instruments to determine whether they are freestanding or contain an embedded derivative and, if so, whether they should be classified in permanent equity, mezzanine equity or as a liability at each reporting period until the amount is settled and reclassified into equity. When multiple instruments are issued in a single transaction, the Company allocates total proceeds from the transaction among the individual freestanding instruments identified. The allocation is made after identifying (1) all the freestanding instruments and (2) the subsequent measurement basis for those instruments. The subsequent measurement basis determines how the proceeds are allocated. Generally, proceeds are allocated based on one of the following methods: • Fair value method - The instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to its fair value, with the remaining proceeds allocated to the other instruments as appropriate. • Relative fair value method - The instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds based on the proportion of its fair value to the sum of the fair values of all the instruments covered in the allocation. • Residual value method - The instrument being analyzed is allocated the remaining proceeds after an allocation is made to all other instruments covered in the allocation. Generally, when there are multiple instruments issued in a single transaction that have different subsequent measurement bases, the proceeds from the transaction are first allocated to the instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value (i.e. - instruments accounted for as a derivative liability) at its issuance date fair value, with the residual proceeds allocated to the instrument not subsequently measured at fair value. In the event both instruments in the transaction are not subsequently measured at fair value (i.e. equity-classified instruments), the proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the freestanding instruments based on their respective fair values, using the relative fair value method. After the proceeds are allocated to the freestanding instruments, resulting in an initial discount on the host contract, those instruments are further evaluated for embedded features (i.e. conversion options) that require bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative financial instrument pursuant to ASC 815. Embedded derivatives are initially and subsequently measured at fair value. Under ASC 815, a portion of the proceeds received upon the issuance of the hybrid contract is allocated to the fair value of the derivative. See Note 4 for additional discussion on the identified embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s convertible notes. The Company accounts for convertible instruments in which it is determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC 470-20. Under ASC 470-20, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes or convertible preferred stock for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the convertible instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the convertible instrument, unless limited by the proceeds allocated to such instrument. See Note 4 and Note 10 for additional discussion on the identified embedded features (conversion options) associated with the Company’s convertible notes and convertible preferred stock and resulting beneficial conversion features recorded. The Company allocates issuance costs between the individual freestanding instruments identified on the same basis as proceeds were allocated. Issuance costs associated with the issuance of stock or equity contracts (i.e. equity-classified warrants and convertible preferred stock) are recorded as a charge against the gross proceeds of the offering. Issuance costs associated with the issuance of debt (i.e. convertible debt) is recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability, however, if debt issuance costs exceed the carrying amount of the debt, issuance costs are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the beneficial conversion feature. Any issuance costs associated with the issuance of liability-classified warrants are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes In accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740, Income Taxes , the Company is required at the end of each interim period to determine the best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and then apply that rate in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date (interim period) basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company recorded no tax expense or benefit due to the expected current year loss and its historical losses. The Company had not recorded its net deferred tax asset as of either March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016 because it maintained a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize these future tax benefits. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company had no uncertain tax positions. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and rules are issued by the SEC that we adopt as of the specified date. Unless otherwise noted, management does not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB or guidance issued by the SEC had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Convertible Notes

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Convertible Notes	Convertible Notes 2016 Private Placement In September 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of $18,087,500 in principal of convertible promissory notes (each, a Note and collectively, the Notes) and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,029,174 shares of common stock (each a Warrant and collectively, the Warrants) in a private placement to institutional and accredited investors (each an Investor and collectively, the Investors). The Notes bear interest at four percent ( 4% ) per annum. Interest is earned daily and compounded quarterly and, at the election of the Company at the beginning of each quarter, shall accrue or be paid in cash. If the Company elects to have interest accrue, such interest will not be added to the principal amount of the Notes but such interest shall be subject to additional interest at the rate of four percent ( 4% ) per annum, compounded quarterly, and shall be due and payable upon the earliest of the conversion of the Notes, exercise of the Put Right, exercise of the Prepayment Right or the Maturity Date (in each case, as defined below). Additionally, if the Company elects for interest to accrue, then (i) the Company may elect to repay any such accrued and unpaid interest in cash at any time and from time to time and (ii) each Investor may elect to have the Company repay any such accrued and unpaid interest by delivering such number of shares of common stock equal to (x) the amount of the accrued and unpaid interest to be repaid, divided by (y) the greater of (i) the last closing bid price of a share of Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ on the date of such election and (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below). As of March 31, 2017 and for each prior quarterly period since issuance, the Company has elected to accrue interest. All unpaid principal of each Investor’s Note is convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the option of such Investor into shares of common stock at each such Investors’ applicable conversion price (as subject to adjustment, the Conversion Price) which range from $3.40875 to $3.67875 per share. The Notes have a maturity date of the earlier of (i) September 7, 2026 and (ii) one-hundred and eighty ( 180 ) days after the date on which the Company’s product candidate, FCX-007, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (the Maturity Date). Each Investor has the right to require the Company to repay all or any portion of the unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest from time to time on or after September 7, 2021 (such right, a Put Right). Such Put Right must be exercised by such Investor by delivering written notice to the Company no later than one-hundred and eighty ( 180 ) days prior to such exercise date of such Put Right. In addition, upon consummation of a specified change of control transaction, each Investor may elect to accelerate the repayment of all unpaid principal and accrued interest under such Investor’s Note. If an Investor does not elect to have the Company prepay its Note upon such change of control transaction, then the Company may prepay the Notes, in an amount equal to one hundred one percent ( 101% ) of the outstanding principal due under the Notes (together with accrued and unpaid interest due thereon) (the Prepayment Right). Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, as defined in the Notes, each Investor may elect to accelerate the repayment of all unpaid principal and accrued interest under each Note and the Notes provide for automatic redemption upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy related Events of Default, as defined in the Notes. Accounting for Convertible Notes and Embedded Derivatives The Company accounts for debt as liabilities measured at amortized cost and amortizes the resulting debt discount from allocation of proceeds to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the Notes pursuant to ASC 835, Interest (ASC 835). See Note 3 for discussion of the Company’s policies for accounting for convertible instruments (i.e. convertible debt) with detachable liability-classified warrants. In connection with the issuance of the Notes and Warrants, the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $18.1 million based on an allocation of proceeds to the Warrants of approximately $9.6 million , an allocation to bifurcated derivatives (which consist of a contingent put option upon a change of control or acceleration upon event of default (the Contingent Put Option) and a contingent call option upon a change of control (the Contingent Call Option) included in the Notes) of approximately $1.3 million , and a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $7.2 million , before issuance costs, based on the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of each Note transaction and the effective conversion price of the Notes, as limited by the proceeds allocated to the Notes. Convertible promissory notes outstanding were as follows: ($ in thousands) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Convertible promissory notes $ 18,088 $ 18,088 Debt discount - warrants (9,643 ) (9,643 ) Debt discount - compound bifurcated derivatives (1,273 ) (1,273 ) Debt discount - beneficial conversion feature (7,172 ) (7,172 ) Convertible promissory notes, net $ — $ — The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method over five years , the expected term of the Notes, and is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0 . Based on an effective yield of approximately 1157% resulting from the Notes being initially recorded at a full discount, the Company will not recognize any material amounts of amortization until years 2020 and 2021. Assumptions Used in Determining Fair Value of Compound Bifurcated Derivative The Company utilizes a binomial lattice model to value its bifurcated derivatives included in the Notes. ASC 815 does not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be combined together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. The Company selected a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the Notes. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rates, credit risk assumptions, and early redemption and conversion assumptions. Additionally, there are other embedded features of the Notes requiring bifurcation, other than the Contingent Put Option and the Contingent Call Option, which had no value at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016 due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change. The estimated fair value of the compound bifurcated derivative is determined using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs and assumptions used in the binomial lattice model for the derivative liability are as follows: ($ in thousands except per share data) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Calculated aggregate value $ 2,047 $ 1,735 Closing price per share of common stock $ 2.00 $ 1.89 Contractual remaining term 9 years, 5 months 9 years, 8 months Contractual interest rate 4.0 % 4.0 % Volume-weighted average conversion rate $ 3.40985 $ 3.40985 Risk-free interest rate (term structure) 0.74% - 2.39% 0.44% - 2.45% Dividend yield — — Credit Rating CC CC Credit Spread 35.56 % 33.27 % Volatility 99.3 % 99.9 % The foregoing compound bifurcated derivative was recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of issuance, with subsequent changes in estimated fair value recorded in derivative revaluation expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in estimated fair value of the Company's derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2017 resulted in non-cash expense of approximately $0.3 million .

Warrants [Abstract]
Warrants	Warrants The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity instruments, derivative liabilities or liabilities depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. See Note 3 for further details on accounting policies related to the Company’s convertible instruments, including common stock warrants. In connection with various financing transactions, the Company has issued warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. In March 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,437,334 shares of its common stock in connection with the Company’s public offering of convertible preferred stock and warrants (each a Series A Warrant and collectively, the Series A Warrants), more fully described in Note 10. Each Series A Warrant has an exercise price of $2.54 , will be exercisable six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company’s outstanding warrants consist of both liability-classified warrants and equity-classified warrants. The following table summarizes outstanding warrants to purchase common stock: Number of warrants March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Exercise Price Expiration Dates Liability-classified Warrants Issued in Series E Preferred Stock offering 46,430 71,430 $ 2.10 Dec 2017 Issued with June 2012 Convertible Notes 375,194 375,194 $ 7.50 Jun 2018 Issued in Series E Preferred Stock offering 523,045 523,045 $ 22.50 Dec 2018 Issued with September 2016 Convertible Notes 6,029,174 6,029,174 $ 4.50 Sep 2021 6,973,843 6,998,843 Equity-classified Warrants Issued in 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering 3,437,334 — $ 2.54 Mar 2022 3,437,334 — Total outstanding warrants 10,411,177 6,998,843 The table below is a summary of the Company’s warrant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2017 : Number of warrants Weighted- average exercise price Liability-classified Equity-classified Total Outstanding at December 31, 2016 6,998,843 — 6,998,843 $ 5.98 Granted — 3,437,334 3,437,334 2.54 Exercised (25,000 ) — (25,000 ) 2.10 Expired — — — — Outstanding at March 31, 2017 6,973,843 3,437,334 10,411,177 $ 4.85 Accounting for Liability-Classified Warrants The Company’s liability-classified warrants were recorded as liabilities at their estimated fair value at the date of issuance, with the subsequent changes in estimated fair value recorded in warrant revaluation income (expense) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in each subsequent period. The change in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 resulted in non-cash expense of less than $0.1 million and non-cash income of approximately $5.3 million , respectively. Additionally, the liability-classified warrants are classified as either current or non-current on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their contractual expiration date. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation valuation method to value its liability-classified warrants. Assumptions Used In Determining Fair Value of Liability-Classified Warrants The estimated fair value of warrants is determined using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs (as described below). Inherent in the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method are the following assumptions: Volatility. The Company estimates stock price volatility based on the Company’s historical stock price performance over a period of time that matches the volume-weighted average expected remaining life of the warrants. Risk-free interest rate . The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve in effect at the valuation date commensurate with the expected remaining life assumption. Expected remaining life. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. Dividend rate. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates will remain at zero. Scenarios. The probability of complex features of the warrants being triggered is subjective (no observable inputs or available market data) and based on internal and external information known to management at the valuation date. The following table summarizes the calculated aggregate fair values, along with the inputs and assumptions utilized in each calculation: ($ in thousands except per share data) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Calculated aggregate value $ 6,039 $ 6,034 Weighted average exercise price per share $ 6.00 $ 5.98 Closing price per share of common stock $ 2.00 $ 1.89 Volatility 83.5 % 85.6 % Weighted average remaining expected life 4 years 4 years, 3 months Risk-free interest rate 1.71 % 1.75 % Dividend yield — — Accounting for Equity-Classified Warrants The Company’s equity-classified warrants were issued in connection with the Company’s 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering (as defined below) as more fully described in Note 10. The proceeds from the 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering (as defined below) (including offering costs) were allocated between the Series A Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock issued in the transaction based upon their respective fair values using the relative fair value (proportional) method. The fair value of the Series A Warrants issued was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0% , expected volatility of 89.69% , risk free interest rate of 2.08% , and an expected life equal to the five year contractual term. The application of the relative fair value method resulted in an allocation of $3.0 million , before deducting offering costs, to the warrants which is included as a component of net proceeds of $7.6 million recorded in “Additional paid-in capital” within the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , to account for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: March 31, 2017 ($ in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 20,560 $ — $ — $ 20,560 Total Assets $ 20,560 $ — $ — $ 20,560 Liabilities: Warrant liability $ — $ — $ 6,039 $ 6,039 Derivative liability — — 2,047 2,047 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 8,086 $ 8,086 December 31, 2016 ($ in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 17,515 $ — $ — $ 17,515 Total Assets $ 17,515 $ — $ — $ 17,515 Liabilities: Warrant liability $ — $ — $ 6,034 $ 6,034 Derivative liability — — 1,735 1,735 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 7,769 $ 7,769 Changes in Level 3 Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Common Stock Warrants - Warrant Liability The reconciliation of the Company’s warrant liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) was as follows: Warrant ($ in thousands) Liability Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 6,034 Exercise of warrants (41 ) Change in fair value of warrant liability 46 Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 6,039 The fair value of the warrant liability is based on Level 3 inputs. For this liability, the Company developed its own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. See Note 5 for further discussion of the warrant liability. Bifurcated Compound Derivative - Derivative Liability The reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) was as follows: Derivative ($ in thousands) Liability Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,735 Change in fair value of derivative liability 312 Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 2,047 The fair value of the derivative liability is based on Level 3 inputs. For this liability, the Company developed its own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. See Note 4 for further discussion of the derivative liability. Effect of the Company’s Stock Price and Volatility Assumptions on the Calculation of Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis Common Stock Warrants - Warrant Liability The fair value of the Company's warrant liability is based on Level 3 inputs. As discussed in Note 5, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation valuation method to value its liability-classified warrants. The determination of fair value as of the reporting date is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the warrants and the risk-free interest rate. The primary factors affecting the fair value of the warrant liability are the Company's stock price and volatility as well as certain assumptions by the Company as to the likelihood of provisions to the underlying warrant agreements being triggered. The methods described above and in Note 5 may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Bifurcated Compound Derivative - Derivative Liability The fair value of the derivative liability is based on Level 3 inputs. As discussed in Note 4, the Company uses a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative bifurcated from the Notes. The determination of fair value as of the reporting date is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility, changes in interest rates, assumptions regarding the adjusted conversion prices in the Notes, and early redemption or conversion of the Notes. The methods described above and in Note 4 may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Fair Value of Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company believes that the fair values of its current assets and liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. The fair value of the long-term convertible promissory notes was approximately $14.9 million at March 31, 2017, compared to a carrying value of $0 , as a result of unamortized debt discounts.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation 2009 Equity Incentive Plan The Company’s Board of Directors (the Board) adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the Plan) effective September 3, 2009. The Plan is intended to further align the interests of the Company and its stockholders with its employees, including its officers, non-employee directors, consultants and advisers by providing equity-based incentives. The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 2,533,333 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, as of March 31, 2017 there were 8,334 options outstanding that were issued outside the Plan to consultants in 2013. The types of awards that may be granted under the Plan include options (both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units and other stock-based awards. The term of each award is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board at the time each award is granted, provided that the term of the option does not exceed ten years . Vesting schedules for stock options vary, but generally vest 25% per year, over four years for employee options and on the one year anniversary date for non-employee director options. The Plan had 1,391,682 shares available for future grants as of March 31, 2017 . Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes non-cash compensation expense for stock-based awards based on their grant date fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the weighted average fair market value for options granted was and $1.69 and $1.74 , respectively. Total stock-based compensation (income) expense recognized using the straight-line attribution method and included in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was less than $0.1 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $0.5 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Income recognized in the 2017 period was due to the recognition of forfeitures for terminated employees which exceeded expense recognized for active employees. Assumptions Used In Determining Fair Value of Stock Options Inherent in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are the following assumptions: Volatility. The Company estimates stock price volatility based on the Company’s historical stock price performance over a period of time that matches the expected term of the stock options. Risk-free interest rate . The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant commensurate with the expected term assumption. Expected term . The expected term of stock options granted is based on an estimate of when options will be exercised in the future. The Company applied the simplified method of estimating the expected term of the options, described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins 107 and 110, as the historical experience is not indicative of expected behavior in the future. The expected term, calculated under the simplified method, is applied to groups of stock options that have similar contractual terms. Using this method, the expected term is determined using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock options granted. Dividend rate. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates will remain at zero. Forfeitures. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting period will be for only those shares that vest. The fair market value of these stock options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the three months ended: March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Expected term 6 years, 3 months 6 years, 3 months Interest rate 2.17 % 1.44 % Dividend rate — — Volatility 89.3 % 93.5 % Stock Option Activity The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 : ($ in thousands except share and per share data) Number of shares Weighted- average exercise price Weighted- average remaining contractual term Aggregate intrinsic value Outstanding at December 31, 2016 1,279,379 $ 15.16 7 years, 2 months $ — Granted 95,000 2.25 Exercised — — Forfeited (240,321 ) 10.29 Expired (5,491 ) 19.50 Outstanding at March 31, 2017 (1) 1,128,567 $ 15.09 6 years, 3 months $ — Exercisable at March 31, 2017 749,637 $ 20.88 4 years, 8 months $ — (1) Includes both vested stock options as well as unvested stock options for which the requisite service period has not been rendered but that are expected to vest based on achievement of a service condition. The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $0.2 million . Additionally, as of March 31, 2017 , there was approximately $0.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Share	Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period. The diluted loss per share calculation gives effect to dilutive stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the if-converted method or the treasury stock method, as applicable, and includes the effect from the potential issuance of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants, assuming the exercise of all "in-the-money" common stock equivalents based on the average market price during the period. Common stock equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Details in the computation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows: Three months ended March 31, ($ in thousands except share and per share data) 2017 2016 Loss per share - basic: Net loss $ (5,007 ) $ (1,407 ) Less: Dividend paid in-kind to preferred stockholders (20 ) — Less: Deemed dividend on preferred stock (3,734 ) — Net loss attributable to common stockholders - basic $ (8,761 ) $ (1,407 ) Numerator for basic loss per share $ (8,761 ) $ (1,407 ) Denominator for basic loss per share 14,694,613 14,632,988 Basic loss per common share $ (0.60 ) $ (0.10 ) Loss per share - diluted: Numerator for basic loss per share $ (8,761 ) $ (1,407 ) Adjust: Warrant revaluation income for dilutive warrants 7 1,958 Net loss attributable to common stockholders - diluted $ (8,768 ) $ (3,365 ) Denominator for basic loss per share 14,694,613 14,632,988 Plus: Incremental shares underlying dilutive “in the money” warrants outstanding 2,597 24,023 Denominator for diluted loss per share 14,697,210 14,657,011 Diluted net loss per common share $ (0.60 ) $ (0.23 ) The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, as their effect would be anti-dilutive: Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 “In the money” stock options 89,801 291,668 “Out of the money” stock options 1,038,682 1,044,473 “In the money” warrants — — “Out of the money” warrants 10,364,747 1,387,338 Shares underlying convertible notes 5,304,533 — Shares underlying convertible accrued interest on convertible notes 120,441 — Shares underlying convertible preferred stock 3,440,000 —

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, at a par value of $0.001 per share, in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of the Company’s preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company or other corporate action. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock In March 2017, the Board authorized the issuance of 8,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock). The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock is set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dated March 7, 2017 (Certificate of Designation). On March 7, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain of its existing accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell a total of 8,000 units (the Units) for a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, with an initial stated value of $1,000 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock with a conversion price of $2.3271 and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the conversion shares issuable on March 7, 2017 pursuant to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by each investor (collectively, the 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering). See Note 5 for discussion of the Series A Warrants issued in connection with the 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering. The 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering closed on March 8, 2017 and resulted in gross proceeds of 8.0 million , before deducting offering costs. The proceeds from the 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering (including offering costs) were allocated between the Series A Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock issued in the transaction based upon their respective fair values using the relative fair value (proportional) method. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock issued was calculated as the sum of (i) the value of the Series A Preferred Stock as if it had been converted into common stock on the issuance date and (ii) the value of a perpetual annuity paying a 4% dividend rate in conversion shares for five years and 8% thereafter. In connection with the valuation, the following assumptions were used: risk free interest rate of 3.15% , credit spread of 31.27% and a market yield of 34.42% . The application of the relative fair value method resulted in an allocation of gross proceeds to the Series A Preferred Stock of approximately $1.3 million , net of discounts of $3.0 million attributed to the warrants (See Note 5) and $3.7 million from a beneficial conversion feature. The discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature was immediately amortized as the Series A Preferred Stock has no stated redemption date and is convertible at the issuance date. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 the Company recognized $3.7 million of amortization of the discount on the Series A Preferred Stock as deemed dividends charged to additional paid-in capital (in the absence of retained earnings). The value of the beneficial conversion feature is calculated as the difference between the effective conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock and the fair market value of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible at the commitment date. The 2017 Series A Preferred Stock Offering securities purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company. The securities purchase agreement also contains customary prohibitions on certain Company payments, the incurrence of certain senior and pari passu debt, certain affiliate transactions and the incurrence of certain liens. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate per share of 4% per annum (with such dividend rate increasing to 8% per annum on the five year anniversary of the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock), with such dividends compounded quarterly and payable only by way by increasing the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 cumulative dividends paid in-kind to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were less than $0.1 million . Shares of Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except as required by law; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 70% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation; (ii) amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to redemption, distribution of assets upon liquidation or dividends senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock; (iv) declare or make any dividends other than dividend payments or other distributions payable solely in the Common Stock; or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets, whether capital or surplus, an amount equal to such holder’s then stated value for each share of Series A Preferred Stock before any distribution to the holders of the Common Stock, any class or series of preferred stock and all other Common Stock equivalents other than those securities which are explicitly senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock in redemption, distribution of assets upon a liquidation or dividends. If there are insufficient assets to pay in full such amounts, then the available assets will be ratably distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
General	General The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in Note 3 in this Form 10-Q. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or full year.
Convertible Instruments	Convertible Instruments The Company has utilized various types of financing to fund its business needs, including convertible debt and convertible preferred stock with detachable warrants. The Company considers guidance within Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20), ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) when accounting for the issuance of its convertible securities. Additionally, the Company reviews the instruments to determine whether they are freestanding or contain an embedded derivative and, if so, whether they should be classified in permanent equity, mezzanine equity or as a liability at each reporting period until the amount is settled and reclassified into equity. When multiple instruments are issued in a single transaction, the Company allocates total proceeds from the transaction among the individual freestanding instruments identified. The allocation is made after identifying (1) all the freestanding instruments and (2) the subsequent measurement basis for those instruments. The subsequent measurement basis determines how the proceeds are allocated. Generally, proceeds are allocated based on one of the following methods: • Fair value method - The instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to its fair value, with the remaining proceeds allocated to the other instruments as appropriate. • Relative fair value method - The instrument being analyzed is allocated a portion of the proceeds based on the proportion of its fair value to the sum of the fair values of all the instruments covered in the allocation. • Residual value method - The instrument being analyzed is allocated the remaining proceeds after an allocation is made to all other instruments covered in the allocation. Generally, when there are multiple instruments issued in a single transaction that have different subsequent measurement bases, the proceeds from the transaction are first allocated to the instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value (i.e. - instruments accounted for as a derivative liability) at its issuance date fair value, with the residual proceeds allocated to the instrument not subsequently measured at fair value. In the event both instruments in the transaction are not subsequently measured at fair value (i.e. equity-classified instruments), the proceeds from the transaction are allocated to the freestanding instruments based on their respective fair values, using the relative fair value method. After the proceeds are allocated to the freestanding instruments, resulting in an initial discount on the host contract, those instruments are further evaluated for embedded features (i.e. conversion options) that require bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative financial instrument pursuant to ASC 815. Embedded derivatives are initially and subsequently measured at fair value. Under ASC 815, a portion of the proceeds received upon the issuance of the hybrid contract is allocated to the fair value of the derivative. See Note 4 for additional discussion on the identified embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s convertible notes. The Company accounts for convertible instruments in which it is determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, in accordance with ASC 470-20. Under ASC 470-20, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes or convertible preferred stock for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the convertible instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the convertible instrument, unless limited by the proceeds allocated to such instrument. See Note 4 and Note 10 for additional discussion on the identified embedded features (conversion options) associated with the Company’s convertible notes and convertible preferred stock and resulting beneficial conversion features recorded. The Company allocates issuance costs between the individual freestanding instruments identified on the same basis as proceeds were allocated. Issuance costs associated with the issuance of stock or equity contracts (i.e. equity-classified warrants and convertible preferred stock) are recorded as a charge against the gross proceeds of the offering. Issuance costs associated with the issuance of debt (i.e. convertible debt) is recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability, however, if debt issuance costs exceed the carrying amount of the debt, issuance costs are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the beneficial conversion feature. Any issuance costs associated with the issuance of liability-classified warrants are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes In accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740, Income Taxes , the Company is required at the end of each interim period to determine the best estimate of its annual effective tax rate and then apply that rate in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date (interim period) basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company recorded no tax expense or benefit due to the expected current year loss and its historical losses. The Company had not recorded its net deferred tax asset as of either March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016 because it maintained a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize these future tax benefits.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and rules are issued by the SEC that we adopt as of the specified date. Unless otherwise noted, management does not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB or guidance issued by the SEC had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , to account for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each reporting period.
Loss Per Share	Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during that period. The diluted loss per share calculation gives effect to dilutive stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the if-converted method or the treasury stock method, as applicable, and includes the effect from the potential issuance of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants, assuming the exercise of all "in-the-money" common stock equivalents based on the average market price during the period. Common stock equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
