Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“RespireRx”) was formed in 1987 under the name Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to engage in the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative pharmaceuticals for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. On December 16, 2015, RespireRx filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to amend its Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. In August 2012, RespireRx acquired Pier Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Pier”), which is now a wholly owned subsidiary. Pier was a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pharmacologic treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and had been engaged in research and clinical development activities which activities are now in RespireRx. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements are of RespireRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pier (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “we” or “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise). The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2021 and for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company, the condensed results of operations, condensed changes in stockholders’ deficiency and condensed changes in cash flows as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2021and 2020. Condensed consolidated operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at such date. For comparative purposes, certain 2021 and 2020 amounts, including, but not limited to, share and per share amounts, par value and additional paid-in capital have been adjusted to a post-reverse stock split basis which occurred on January 5, 2021. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021 (“2020 Form 10-K”). |

We are developing treatment options that address conditions that affect millions of people, but for which there are limited or poor treatment options, including obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), epilepsy, chronic pain, including inflammatory and neuropathic pain, recovery from spinal cord injury (“SCI”), as well as other areas of interest based on results of preclinical and clinical studies to date. RespireRx is developing a pipeline of new drug products based on our broad patent portfolios across two distinct drug platforms: (i) our pharmaceutical cannabinoids platform (which we refer to as ResolutionRx) is developing compounds that target the body’s endocannabinoid system, and in particular, the re-purposing of dronabinol, an endocannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor agonist, for the treatment of OSA. Dronabinol is already approved by the FDA for other indications. (ii) our neuromodulators platform (which we refer to as EndeavourRx) is made up of two programs: (a) our AMPAkines program, which is developing proprietary compounds that are positive allosteric modulators (“PAMs”) of AMPA-type glutamate receptors to promote neuronal function and (b) our GABAkines program, which is developing proprietary compounds that are PAMs of GABA A Financing our Platforms Our major challenge has been to raise substantial equity or equity-linked financing to support research and development plans for our pharmaceutical cannabinoid and neuromodulator platforms, while minimizing the dilutive effect to pre-existing stockholders. At present, we believe that we are hindered primarily by our public corporate structure, our common stock not being listed on a national exchange, and low market capitalization as a result of our low stock price. Our shares are quoted on the OTCQB, the OTC Market’s venture market. For this reason, the Company has implemented an internal restructuring plan through which our two drug platforms have been reorganized into separate business units and may in the future be organized into subsidiaries of RespireRx. We believe that by creating one or more subsidiaries to further the aims of ResolutionRx and EndeavourRx, it may be possible, through separate finance channels, to optimize the asset values of each. We are also planning to commence, assuming the SEC qualifies the offering, a securities offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act. See Note 9. Subsequent Events – Filing of Form 1-A Going Concern The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $ 708,682 and $ 2,371,145 for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 4,301,211 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as well as negative operating cash flows of $ 800,622 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and $ 513,001 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The Company also had a stockholders’ deficiency of $ 9,424,888 at September 30, 2021 and expects to continue to incur net losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently, and has for some time, been in significant financial distress. It has extremely limited cash resources and current assets and has no ongoing source of sustainable revenue. Management is continuing to address various aspects of the Company’s operations and obligations, including, without limitation, debt obligations, financing requirements, intellectual property, licensing agreements, legal and patent matters and regulatory compliance, and has taken steps to continue to raise new debt and equity capital to fund the Company’s business activities from both related and unrelated parties. The Company is continuing its efforts to raise additional capital in order to be able to pay its liabilities and fund its business activities on a going forward basis, including the pursuit of the Company’s planned research and development activities. The Company regularly evaluates various measures to satisfy the Company’s liquidity needs, including development and other agreements with collaborative partners and, when necessary, seeking to exchange or restructure the Company’s outstanding securities. The Company is evaluating certain changes to its operations and structure to facilitate raising capital from sources that may be interested in financing only discrete aspects of the Company’s development programs. Such changes could include a significant reorganization, which may include the formation of one or more subsidiaries into which one or more programs may be contributed. As a result of the Company’s current financial situation, the Company has limited access to external sources of debt and equity financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing in the amounts necessary to fully fund its operating and debt service requirements. If the Company is unable to access sufficient cash resources, the Company may be forced to discontinue its operations entirely and liquidate. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the financial statements of RespireRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pier. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, among other things, accounting for potential liabilities, and the assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation issued for services. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates. Reverse Stock Split on January 5, 2021 On January 5, 2021, the Company effected a ten to one reverse-stock split of its common stock . Every ten shares of the “old” common stock was exchanged for one “new” share of common stock rounded down to the nearest whole share with any fractional shares of common stock paid to the stockholder in cash. Option and warrant issuances prior to January 5, 2021 have also been proportionately adjusted by dividing the number of shares into which such options and warrants may exercise by ten and multiplying the exercise price by ten. The effect of the reverse-stock split has been reflected retroactively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and any interim periods in 2020. Certain amount with respect to 2019 that appear in these condensed consolidated financial statements have also been reflected on a post reverse-stock split basis. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing its cash with high quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash balances may periodically exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts to date. Value of Financial Instruments The authoritative guidance with respect to value of financial instruments established a value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 value measurements, is also required. Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives. Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges. Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models. The Company determines the level in the value hierarchy within which each value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end. The carrying amounts of financial instruments (consisting of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued expenses) are considered by the Company to be representative of the respective values of these instruments due to the short-term nature of those instruments. With respect to the note payable to SY Corporation Co., Ltd. (“SY Corporation”) and the convertible notes payable, management does not believe that the credit markets have materially changed for these types of borrowings since the original borrowing date. The Company considers the carrying amounts of the notes payable to officers, inclusive of accrued interest, to be representative of the respective values of such instruments due to the short-term nature of those instruments and their terms. Deferred Financing Costs Costs incurred in connection with ongoing debt and equity financings, including legal and accounting fees, are deferred until the related financing is either completed or abandoned. Costs related to abandoned debt or equity financings are charged to operations in the period of abandonment. Costs related to completed equity financings are netted against the proceeds. Debt Issuance Costs The Company presents debt issuance costs related to debt obligations in its consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt obligation, consistent with the presentation for debt discounts. Convertible Notes Payable Convertible notes are evaluated to determine if they should be recorded at amortized cost. To the extent that there are associated warrants, commitment shares of common stock or a beneficial conversion feature, the convertible notes and equity or equity-linked securities are evaluated to determine if there are embedded derivatives to be identified, bifurcated and valued in connection with and at the time of such financing. Extinguishment of Debt and Settlement of Liabilities The Company accounts for the extinguishment of debt and settlement of liabilities by comparing the carrying value of the debt or liability to the value of consideration paid or assets given up and recognizing a loss or gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the amount of the difference in the period in which such transaction occurs. See Note 4 for additional information. Prepaid Insurance Prepaid insurance represents the premiums paid in March 2021 for directors and officers insurance and other insurance in April 2021. The amounts of prepaid insurance amortizable in the ensuing twelve-month period are recorded as prepaid insurance in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at each reporting date and then amortized to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for each reporting period. Stock-Based Awards The Company periodically issues common stock and stock options to officers, directors, Scientific Advisory Board members, consultants and vendors for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. The Company accounts for stock-based payments to officers, directors, outside consultants and vendors by measuring the cost of services provided in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the cost recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over the vesting period of the awards. Stock grants and stock options, which are sometimes subject to time-based vesting, are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period. The value of stock options granted as stock-based payments is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the term of the equity award. Estimated volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of common stock is determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Stock and stock option grants and warrants issued to non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to the Company is accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair value of the stock option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. Management uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options and warrants issued by the Company. The Company recognizes this expense over the period in which the services are provided. Stock and stock option grants and warrants issued to non-employees for services already rendered represent settlement of debt or liabilities and are accounted for by valuing both the amount of the amount of debt or liabilities settled and the value of the stock, stock option or warrant grants and recording a gain or loss as appropriate. Stock and stock option grants and warrants issued to officers, directors, employees and affiliates in settlement of accrued compensation or other amounts payable are recorded at the amount of the liability settled. Therefore, there are no gains or losses recorded with respect to such settlements. There were no stock or stock option grants during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021. The Company recognizes the amortized value of stock-based payments in general and administrative costs and in research and development costs, as appropriate, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. There were no stock options exercised during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were warrants to purchase 380,568 shares of common stock issued as compensation or for services during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and none during the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. Warrants, if issued for services, are typically issued to placement agents or brokers for fund raising services. In addition warrants to purchase 31,766,883 shares of common stock were issued to lenders during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 with respect to or in association with the issuance of convertible notes to such lenders. Warrant are not issued from any of the Company’s stock and option plans, from which options issued to non-employees for services are typically issued. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to operations in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to operations in the period such determination was made. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three-year period since the last ownership change. The Company may have had a change in control under these Sections. However, the Company does not anticipate performing a complete analysis of the limitation on the annual use of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards until the time that it anticipates it will be able to utilize these tax attributes. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters and does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes of various state tax jurisdictions. As the Company’s net operating losses have yet to be utilized, all previous tax years remain open to examination by Federal authorities and other jurisdictions in which the Company currently operates or has operated in the past. The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. The tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions. In subsequent periods, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized as a component of income tax expense. Foreign Currency Transactions The note payable to SY Corporation, which is denominated in a foreign currency (the South Korean Won), is translated into the Company’s functional currency (the United States Dollar) at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The foreign currency exchange gain or loss resulting from translation is recognized in the related condensed consolidated statements of operations. Research and Development Research and development costs include compensation paid to management directing the Company’s research and development activities, including but not limited to compensation paid to our Chief Scientific Officer who is also our Executive Chairman, and fees paid to consultants and outside service providers and organizations (including research institutes at universities), and other expenses relating to the acquisition, design, development and clinical testing of the Company’s treatments and product candidates. License Agreements Obligations incurred with respect to mandatory payments provided for in license agreements are recognized ratably over the appropriate term, as specified in the underlying license agreement, and are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Obligations incurred with respect to milestone payments provided for in license agreements are recognized when it is probable that such milestone will be reached and are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Patent Costs Due to the significant uncertainty associated with the successful development of one or more commercially viable products based on the Company’s research efforts and any related patent applications, all patent costs, including patent-related legal and filing fees, are expensed as incurred and recorded as general and administrative expenses. Earnings per Share The Company’s computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., warrants and options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Net loss attributable to common stockholders consists of net loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed preferred stock dividends declared, amortized or accumulated. Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company excluded the outstanding shares of common stock in the table below, into which the securities described below may convert, thereby entitling the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from the Company’s calculation of earnings per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Schedule of Anti-dilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share September 30, 2021 2020 Series B convertible preferred stock 1 1 Convertible notes payable 40,542,856 4,723,986 Common stock warrants 59,505,140 28,809,358 Common stock options 7,111,924 7,166,094 Total 107,159,921 40,699,439 Reclassifications Certain comparative figures in 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter’s presentation. These reclassifications were immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The subtitle is Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) addresses complex financial instruments that have characteristics of both debt and equity. The application of this ASU would reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models would result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The Company has historically issued complex financial instruments and has considered whether embedded conversion features have existed within those contracts or whether derivatives would appropriately be bifurcated. To date, no such bifurcation has been necessary. However, it is possible that this ASU may have a substantial impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management is evaluating the potential impact. This ASU becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging which represents an amendment clarifying the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those years. Management has evaluated the guidance and determined that the implementation of such guidance does not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Notes Payable | 4. Notes Payable Convertible Notes Payable On April 1, 2021, May 3, 2021, May 10, 2021, June 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021, the Company closed on financings, pursuant to which, five convertible notes were issued to four separate investors, due in each case, one year from the effective date (which for the each closing was March 31, 2021, April 30, 2021, May 10, 2021, June 29, 2021 and August 31, 2021, respectively), with maturity amounts of $ 112,500 , $ 150,000 , $ 150,000 , $ 115,000 and $ 115,000 , respectively. In addition, the noteholders received as consideration, warrants to purchase 2,400,000 , 3,200,000 , 3,200,000 , 2,453,333 and 5,750,000 shares of common stock, respectively, each exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $ 0.02 per share. The August 31, 2021 issuance triggered the most-favored nation provisions of four notes already outstanding, resulting in the issuance of 15,121,667 additional warrants on September 7, 2021. As a result of the note issuances, the Company received net proceeds of $ 96,750 , $ 123,400 , $ 123,400 , $ 100,000 and $ 103,500 respectively, for an aggregate of $ 547,050 . The difference between the maturity amounts and the net proceeds were due to original issue discounts, in four cases, investor legal fees and in two cases, broker fees. The five notes are convertible at a fixed price of $ 0.02 per share and bear interest at 10% per year which interest is guaranteed regardless of prepayment. The Company has the right to prepay the notes during the first six months subject to prepayment premiums that range from 0% to 15% ( 100% to 115% of the maturity amount plus accrued interest and any default interest and similar costs). The Company periodically issues convertible notes with similar characteristics. As described in the table below, as of September 30, 2021, there were nine such notes outstanding (including the convertible notes described in the paragraph above), two of which were satisfied in full by conversion of both principal and interest and one of which was satisfied in part, principal only, during that period. These notes all have or had a fixed conversion price of $ 0.02 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. All notes but one had an annual interest rate of 10% which was guaranteed in full. One note had an annual interest rate of 8% . The convertible notes had an original issue discount (“OID”), debt issuance costs (“DIC”) that were capitalized by the Company, a warrant (“WT”) or commitment shares (“CS”) and in three cases a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The OID, CN, WTs, CSs and BCF allocated values are amortized over the life of the notes to interest expense. All notes mature or matured nine to fifteen months from their issuance date. All notes were prepayable by the Company during the first six months, subject to prepayment premiums that range from 100% to 115% of the maturity amount plus accrued interest. If not earlier paid, the notes were convertible by the holder into the Company’s common stock. Two of the notes were paid before maturity. The table below summarizes the convertible notes with similar characteristics outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and the repayments by conversion during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021: Schedule of Convertible Notes Outstanding Inception Date Maturity date Original Principal Amount Interest rate Original aggregate DIC, OID, Wts, CS and BCF Cumulative amortization of DIC, OID, Wts, CS and BCF Accrued coupon interest Repayment Balance sheet July 2, 2020 April 2, 2021 $ 137,500 10.00 % $ (44,423 ) $ 44,423 $ 6,875 $ (144,375 ) $ - July 28, 2020 July 28, 2021 45,000 8.00 % (5,000 ) — 2,743 (25,000 ) 17,743 July 30, 2020 October 30, 2021 75,000 10.00 % (27,778 ) 27,778 4,136 (79,136 ) - February 17, 2021 November 17, 2021 112,000 10.00 % (112,000 ) 91,608 9,161 - 100,769 April 1, 2021 March 31, 2022 112,500 10.00 % (112,500 ) 56,404 5,640 - 62,044 May 3, 2021 April 30, 2022 150,000 10.00 % (150,000 ) 62,877 6,288 - 69,165 May 10, 2021 May 10, 2022 150,000 10.00 % (150,000 ) 58,767 5,877 - 64,644 June 30, 2021 June 29, 2022 115,000 10.00 % (115,000 ) 29,301 2,930 - 32,231 August 31, 2021 August 31, 2022 115,000 10.00 % (109,675 ) 9,015 945 - 15,285 Total $ 1,012,000 $ (826,376 ) $ 380,173 $ 44,595 $ (248,511 ) $ 361,881 In addition to what appears in the table above, there is outstanding accrued interest of $ 2,747 from a prior floating rate convertible note that has not been paid in cash or by conversion as of September 30, 2021. On July 27, 2021, the maturity date of the note scheduled to mature on July 28, 2021 , was extended to December 1, 2021 and the original and remaining principal amount of the note was increased by $ 5,000 from $ 40,000 to $ 45,000 and from $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 respectively, with interest on the incremental increase in principal amount accruing from the note inception date. Since the Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the increase in the principal amount of the note, the increase was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date. In addition to the convertible notes with similar characteristics described above, on December 31, 2018 and January 2, 2019, the Company issued convertible notes to a single investor totaling $ 35,000 of maturity amount with accrued interest of $ 10,399 as of September 30, 2021. The number of shares of common stock (or preferred stock) into which these notes may convert is not determinable. The warrants to purchase 19,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the sale of these notes and other convertible notes issued December 2018 and March 2019 are exercisable at a fixed price of $ 15.00 per share of common stock, provide no right to receive a cash payment, and included no reset rights or other protections based on subsequent equity transactions, equity-linked transactions or other events and expire on December 30, 2023 . Other convertible notes were also sold to investors in 2014 and 2015 (“Original Convertible Notes”), which aggregated a total of $ 579,500 , and had a fixed interest rate of 10% per annum. The Original Convertible Notes have no reset rights or other protections based on subsequent equity transactions, equity-linked transactions or other events. The warrants to purchase shares of common stock issued in connection with the sale of the Original Convertible Notes have either been exchanged as part of note and warrant exchange agreements executed in April and May of 2016 or expired on September 15, 2016 . The remaining outstanding Original Convertible Notes (including those for which default notices have been received) consist of the following at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: Schedule of Convertible Notes Payable September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Principal amount of notes payable $ 75,000 $ 75,000 Accrued interest payable 74,763 64,357 Foreign currency transaction adjustment (16,838 ) 53,393 Total note payable $ 149,256 $ 139,357 As of September 30, 2021, principal and accrued interest on the Original Convertible Note that is subject to a default notice accrues annual interest at 12% instead of 10% , totaled $ 52,337 , of which $ 27,337 was accrued interest. As of December 31, 2020, principal and accrued interest on Original Convertible Notes subject to default notices totaled $ 48,700 of which $ 23,700 was accrued interest. As of September 30, 2021 all of the outstanding Original Convertible Notes, inclusive of accrued interest, were convertible into an aggregate of 1,317 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such Original Convertible Notes will continue to accrue interest until exchanged, paid or otherwise discharged. There can be no assurance that any of the additional holders of the remaining Original Convertible Notes will exchange their Original Convertible Notes. Note Payable to SY Corporation Co., Ltd. On June 25, 2012, the Company borrowed 465,000,000 Won (the currency of South Korea, equivalent to approximately $ 400,000 United States Dollars as of that date) from and executed a secured note payable to SY Corporation Co., Ltd., (“SY Corporation”). The note accrues simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum and had a maturity date of June 25, 2013 . The Company has not made any payments on the promissory note. At June 30, 2013 and subsequently, the promissory note was outstanding and in default, although SY Corporation has not issued a notice of default or a demand for repayment. Management believes that SY Corporation is in default of its obligations under its January 2012 license agreement, as amended, with the Company, but the Company has not yet issued a notice of default.

In the year after the first commercial sale of a product, the minimum annual royalty will increase to $ 250,000 . The Company recorded charges to operations of $ 25,000 during the three-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $ 75,000 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with respect to its minimum annual royalty obligation, which is included in research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As discussed above, the Company did not pay the amount due on December 31, 2020 for which the Company was granted an extension until April 19, 2021 and which was paid in full on April 1, 2021. Noramco Inc. - Dronabinol Development and Supply Agreement On September 4, 2018, RespireRx entered into a dronabinol Development and Supply Agreement with Noramco Inc., one of the world’s major dronabinol manufacturers, which Noramco subsequently assigned to its subsidiary, Purisys LLC (the “Purisys Agreement”). Under the terms of the Purisys Agreement, Purisys has agreed to (i) provide all of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) estimated to be needed for the clinical development process for both the first- and second-generation products (each a “Product” and collectively, the “Products”), three validation batches for New Drug Application (“NDA”) filing(s) and adequate supply for the initial inventory stocking for the wholesale and retail channels, subject to certain limitations, (ii) maintain or file valid drug master files (“DMFs”) with the FDA or any other regulatory authority and provide the Company with access or a right of reference letter entitling the Company to make continuing reference to the DMFs during the term of the agreement in connection with any regulatory filings made with the FDA by the Company, (iii) participate on a development committee, and (iv) make available its regulatory consultants, collaborate with any regulatory consulting firms engaged by the Company and participate in all FDA or Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) meetings as appropriate and as related to the API. We now refer to the second-generation product as our proprietary formulation or proprietary product and have de-emphasized the first-generation product. In consideration for these supplies and services, the Company has agreed to purchase exclusively from Purisys during the commercialization phase all API for its Products (as defined in the Development and Supply Agreement) at a pre-determined price subject to certain producer price index adjustments and agreed to Purisys’ participation in the economic success of the commercialized Product or Products up to the earlier of the achievement of a maximum dollar amount or the expiration of a period of time. There was no activity during the three-months ended and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020 with respect to the Purisys Agreement. Transactions with Bausch Health Companies Inc. (formerly known as Biovail Laboratories International SRL) Beginning in March 2010, the Company entered into a series of asset purchase and license agreements with Biovail Laboratories International SRL which later merged with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. which was later renamed Bausch Health Companies Inc. (“Bausch”). In March 2011, the Company entered into a new agreement with Bausch to reacquire the ampakine compounds, patents and rights that Bausch had acquired from the Company in March 2010. The new agreement provided for potential future payments of up to $ 15,150,000 by the Company based upon the achievement of certain developments, including new drug application submissions and approval milestones pertaining to an intravenous dosage form of the ampakine compounds for respiratory depression, a therapeutic area not currently pursued by the Company. Bausch is also eligible to receive additional payments of up to $ 15,000,000 from the Company based upon the Company’s net sales of an intravenous dosage form of the compounds for respiratory depression. At any time following the completion of Phase 1 clinical studies and prior to the end of Phase 2A clinical studies, Bausch retains an option to co-develop and co-market intravenous dosage forms of an ampakine compound as a treatment for respiratory depression and vaso-occlusive crises associated with sickle cell disease. In such an event, the Company would be reimbursed for certain development expenses to date and Bausch would share in all such future development costs with the Company. If Bausch makes the co-marketing election, the Company would owe no further milestone payments to Bausch and the Company would be eligible to receive a royalty on net sales of the compound by Bausch or its affiliates and licensees. There was no activity during the three-months ended and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020 that affect the Bausch agreement. Summary of Principal Cash Obligations and Commitments The following table sets forth the Company’s principal cash obligations and commitments for the next five fiscal years as of September 30, 2021, aggregating $ 2,166,177 Summary of Principal Cash Obligations and Commitments Payments Due By Year Total 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 License agreements $ 520,277 $ 25,000 $ 120,092 $ 140,185 $ 110,000 $ 115,000 Research and development contracts 50,000 - 50,000 - - - Employment agreements (1) 1,605,900 232,950 1,118,250 254,700 - - Total $ 2,166,177 $ 257,950 $ 1,288,342 $ 394,885 $ 110,000 $ 115,000 (1) The payment of certain of such amounts has been deferred indefinitely, as described above in “Employment Agreements”. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | 9. Subsequent Events Amendment to Mr. Jones’ Employment Agreement See Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies – Significant Agreements and Contracts – Filing of Form 1-A On October 12, 2021, the Company filed amendment number one to its Form 1-A which had previously been filed on August 9, 2021 with the SEC with respect to a contemplated Tier 2 offering under Regulation A. The Form 1-A and preliminary offering circular contained therein is subject to further amendment. No securities may be offered prior to qualification of the offering by the Securities and Exchange Commission or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale of securities would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction. Convertible Note and Related Transactions On October 7, 2021, the Company and Dariusz Nasiek and Sara Nasiek JTTEN (the “Nasieks”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Nasiek SPA”) pursuant to which the Nasieks provided a sum of $ 103,500 (the “Nasiek Consideration”) to the Company in return for a convertible promissory note (the “Nasiek Note”) with a face amount of $ 115,000 (which difference in value as compared to the Nasiek Consideration is due to an original issue discount of $ 11,500 ), and a common stock purchase warrant (the “Nasiek Warrant”) exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $ 0.02 per share on a cash or cashless basis, to purchase up to 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001 . In addition, and to induce the Nasieks to enter into the Nasiek SPA, the Company and the Nasieks entered into a Piggy-Back Registration Rights Agreement (the “Nasiek Registration Rights Agreement”) under which the Company has agreed to provide certain piggy-back registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended with respect to the common stock issuable pursuant to the Nasiek SPA. The Note obligates the Company to pay by October 7, 2022 (the “Nasiek Maturity Date”) a principal amount of $ 115,000 together with interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum. The first twelve months of interest, equal to $ 11,500 , is guaranteed and earned in full as of the effective date. Any amount of principal or interest that is not paid by the Nasiek Maturity Date would bear interest at the rate of 24% from the Nasiek Maturity Date to the date it is paid. The Nasieks have the right, in their discretion, at any time, to convert any outstanding and unpaid amount of the Nasiek Note into shares of common stock, provided that the conversion would not result in the Nasieks beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock. The Nasieks may convert at a per share conversion price equal to $0.02, subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, extraordinary distributions and similar events. Upon any conversion, all rights with respect to the portion of the Nasiek Note being so converted will terminate, except for the right to receive common stock or other securities, cash or other assets as provided for in the Nasiek Note. The Company may, in the absence of an event of default, and with prior written notice to the Nasieks, prepay the outstanding principal amount under the Nasiek Note during the initial 180 day period after the effective date by making a payment to the Nasieks of an amount in cash equal to 115% of the outstanding principal, interest, default interest and other amounts owed. Under certain circumstances, including the occurrence of an event of default, a sale, merger or other business combination where the Company is not the survivor, or the conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company may be required to prepay in cash an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal, interest, default interest and other amounts owed. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Pier Pharmaceuticals, Inc., provided an unlimited guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the Nasiek Note. The Nasiek Note requires that the Company reserve the greater of (i) 8,625,000 shares of Common Stock or (ii) one and a half times the number of shares into which the Nasiek Note may convert. The Nasiek Warrant requires that the Company reserve three times the number of shares into which the Nasiek Warrant is at any time exercisable. The Nasiek SPA includes, among other things: (1) the grant of an option to the Nasieks to incorporate into the Nasiek Note any terms applicable to a subsequent issuance of a convertible note or security by the Company that are more beneficial to an investor than the terms of the Nasiek SPA and Nasiek Note are to the Nasieks; and (2) certain registration rights by reference to the Nasiek Registration Rights Agreement, and the right to have any shares of common stock issued in connection with the conversion of the Nasiek Note or exercise of the Nasiek Warrant included in any Regulation A offering statement that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Partial Conversion of Convertible Note On November 8, 2021, the Company received a notice of conversion with respect to a convertible note with a maturity date of November 17, 2021 80,000 112,000 4,000,000 $32,000 Cashless Warrant Exercise On November 8, 2021, the Company received a partial cashless exercise notice with respect to a portion of a warrant which portion of such warrant would have been exercisable into 1,534,042 Pursuant to the cashless exercise, the Company issued 511,347 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the financial statements of RespireRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pier. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, among other things, accounting for potential liabilities, and the assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation issued for services. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates. |
Reverse Stock Split on January 5, 2021 | Reverse Stock Split on January 5, 2021 On January 5, 2021, the Company effected a ten to one reverse-stock split of its common stock . Every ten shares of the “old” common stock was exchanged for one “new” share of common stock rounded down to the nearest whole share with any fractional shares of common stock paid to the stockholder in cash. Option and warrant issuances prior to January 5, 2021 have also been proportionately adjusted by dividing the number of shares into which such options and warrants may exercise by ten and multiplying the exercise price by ten. The effect of the reverse-stock split has been reflected retroactively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and any interim periods in 2020. Certain amount with respect to 2019 that appear in these condensed consolidated financial statements have also been reflected on a post reverse-stock split basis. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing its cash with high quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash balances may periodically exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts to date. |
Value of Financial Instruments | Value of Financial Instruments The authoritative guidance with respect to value of financial instruments established a value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 value measurements, is also required. Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives. Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges. Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models. The Company determines the level in the value hierarchy within which each value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end. The carrying amounts of financial instruments (consisting of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued expenses) are considered by the Company to be representative of the respective values of these instruments due to the short-term nature of those instruments. With respect to the note payable to SY Corporation Co., Ltd. (“SY Corporation”) and the convertible notes payable, management does not believe that the credit markets have materially changed for these types of borrowings since the original borrowing date. The Company considers the carrying amounts of the notes payable to officers, inclusive of accrued interest, to be representative of the respective values of such instruments due to the short-term nature of those instruments and their terms. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs Costs incurred in connection with ongoing debt and equity financings, including legal and accounting fees, are deferred until the related financing is either completed or abandoned. Costs related to abandoned debt or equity financings are charged to operations in the period of abandonment. Costs related to completed equity financings are netted against the proceeds. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs The Company presents debt issuance costs related to debt obligations in its consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt obligation, consistent with the presentation for debt discounts. |
Convertible Notes Payable | Convertible Notes Payable Convertible notes are evaluated to determine if they should be recorded at amortized cost. To the extent that there are associated warrants, commitment shares of common stock or a beneficial conversion feature, the convertible notes and equity or equity-linked securities are evaluated to determine if there are embedded derivatives to be identified, bifurcated and valued in connection with and at the time of such financing. |
Extinguishment of Debt and Settlement of Liabilities | Extinguishment of Debt and Settlement of Liabilities The Company accounts for the extinguishment of debt and settlement of liabilities by comparing the carrying value of the debt or liability to the value of consideration paid or assets given up and recognizing a loss or gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the amount of the difference in the period in which such transaction occurs. See Note 4 for additional information. |
Prepaid Insurance | Prepaid Insurance Prepaid insurance represents the premiums paid in March 2021 for directors and officers insurance and other insurance in April 2021. The amounts of prepaid insurance amortizable in the ensuing twelve-month period are recorded as prepaid insurance in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at each reporting date and then amortized to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for each reporting period. |
Stock-Based Awards | Stock-Based Awards The Company periodically issues common stock and stock options to officers, directors, Scientific Advisory Board members, consultants and vendors for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. The Company accounts for stock-based payments to officers, directors, outside consultants and vendors by measuring the cost of services provided in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards, with the cost recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over the vesting period of the awards. Stock grants and stock options, which are sometimes subject to time-based vesting, are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period. The value of stock options granted as stock-based payments is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the term of the equity award. Estimated volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of common stock is determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Stock and stock option grants and warrants issued to non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to the Company is accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair value of the stock option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. Management uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options and warrants issued by the Company. The Company recognizes this expense over the period in which the services are provided. Stock and stock option grants and warrants issued to non-employees for services already rendered represent settlement of debt or liabilities and are accounted for by valuing both the amount of the amount of debt or liabilities settled and the value of the stock, stock option or warrant grants and recording a gain or loss as appropriate. Stock and stock option grants and warrants issued to officers, directors, employees and affiliates in settlement of accrued compensation or other amounts payable are recorded at the amount of the liability settled. Therefore, there are no gains or losses recorded with respect to such settlements. There were no stock or stock option grants during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021. The Company recognizes the amortized value of stock-based payments in general and administrative costs and in research and development costs, as appropriate, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. There were no stock options exercised during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were warrants to purchase 380,568 shares of common stock issued as compensation or for services during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and none during the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. Warrants, if issued for services, are typically issued to placement agents or brokers for fund raising services. In addition warrants to purchase 31,766,883 shares of common stock were issued to lenders during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 with respect to or in association with the issuance of convertible notes to such lenders. Warrant are not issued from any of the Company’s stock and option plans, from which options issued to non-employees for services are typically issued. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to operations in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to operations in the period such determination was made. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three-year period since the last ownership change. The Company may have had a change in control under these Sections. However, the Company does not anticipate performing a complete analysis of the limitation on the annual use of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards until the time that it anticipates it will be able to utilize these tax attributes. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters and does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes of various state tax jurisdictions. As the Company’s net operating losses have yet to be utilized, all previous tax years remain open to examination by Federal authorities and other jurisdictions in which the Company currently operates or has operated in the past. The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. The tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions. In subsequent periods, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized as a component of income tax expense. |
Foreign Currency Transactions | Foreign Currency Transactions The note payable to SY Corporation, which is denominated in a foreign currency (the South Korean Won), is translated into the Company’s functional currency (the United States Dollar) at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The foreign currency exchange gain or loss resulting from translation is recognized in the related condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs include compensation paid to management directing the Company’s research and development activities, including but not limited to compensation paid to our Chief Scientific Officer who is also our Executive Chairman, and fees paid to consultants and outside service providers and organizations (including research institutes at universities), and other expenses relating to the acquisition, design, development and clinical testing of the Company’s treatments and product candidates. |
License Agreements | License Agreements Obligations incurred with respect to mandatory payments provided for in license agreements are recognized ratably over the appropriate term, as specified in the underlying license agreement, and are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Obligations incurred with respect to milestone payments provided for in license agreements are recognized when it is probable that such milestone will be reached and are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
Patent Costs | Patent Costs Due to the significant uncertainty associated with the successful development of one or more commercially viable products based on the Company’s research efforts and any related patent applications, all patent costs, including patent-related legal and filing fees, are expensed as incurred and recorded as general and administrative expenses. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share The Company’s computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., warrants and options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. Net loss attributable to common stockholders consists of net loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed preferred stock dividends declared, amortized or accumulated. Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company excluded the outstanding shares of common stock in the table below, into which the securities described below may convert, thereby entitling the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from the Company’s calculation of earnings per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Schedule of Anti-dilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share September 30, 2021 2020 Series B convertible preferred stock 1 1 Convertible notes payable 40,542,856 4,723,986 Common stock warrants 59,505,140 28,809,358 Common stock options 7,111,924 7,166,094 Total 107,159,921 40,699,439 |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain comparative figures in 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter’s presentation. These reclassifications were immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The subtitle is Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) addresses complex financial instruments that have characteristics of both debt and equity. The application of this ASU would reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models would result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The Company has historically issued complex financial instruments and has considered whether embedded conversion features have existed within those contracts or whether derivatives would appropriately be bifurcated. To date, no such bifurcation has been necessary. However, it is possible that this ASU may have a substantial impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management is evaluating the potential impact. This ASU becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging which represents an amendment clarifying the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those years. Management has evaluated the guidance and determined that the implementation of such guidance does not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. |
