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. On January 11, 2023, RespireRx formed what is initially a wholly-owned subsidiary, ResolutionRx Ltd (“ResolutionRx”), an unlisted public company in Australia into which the Company is in the process of contributing its cannabinoid platform described below. See Note 10. Subsequent Events. Basis of Presentation The 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). |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business | 2. Business The mission of the Company is to develop innovative and revolutionary treatments to combat disorders caused by disruption of neuronal signalling. We are developing treatment options that address conditions affecting millions of people, but for which there are limited or poor treatment options, including OSA, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), epilepsy, acute and chronic pain, including inflammatory and neuropathic pain, recovery from spinal cord injury (“SCI”) and certain orphan disorders. We are also considering developing treatment options for other conditions based on results of preclinical and clinical studies to date. To achieve these goals, the Company has determined that some or all of these opportunities should be contributed to what could be, wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures or sub-licenses, or even sold and has initiated efforts to do so. In order to facilitate our business activities and product development and to set up its programs for development by subsidiaries, partnering or sale, the Company has implemented an internal restructuring plan based upon our two research platforms: pharmaceutical cannabinoids and neuromodulators. As of January 11, 2023, the the Company formed ResolutionRx Ltd, initially a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on pharmaceutical cannabinoids and EndeavourRx, a the business unit focused on neuromodulators. It is anticipated that the Company will use, at least initially, its management personnel to provide management, operational and oversight services to these two. (i) ResolutionRx, our pharmaceutical cannabinoids subsidiary 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. See Note10. Subsequent Events. (ii) EndeavourRx, our neuromodulators platform is made up of two programs: (a) our AMPAkines program, which is developing proprietary compounds that act as positive allosteric modulators (“PAMs”) of AMPA-type glutamate receptors to promote neuronal function and (b) our GABAkines program, which is developing proprietary compounds that act as PAMs of GABA A Like ResolutionRx, which as of January 11, 2023, was organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary, of the Company, management also intends to organize our EndeavourRx business unit, in part or in whole, into a subsidiary which would conduct research and development of our neuromodulator platform, including either or both of the AMPAkine and GABAkine programs and their related tangible and intangible assets and certain of their liabilities. The Company’s business development efforts (licensing, sub-licensing, joint venture and other commercial structures), if successful, would represent strategic and operational infrastructure additions, as well as cash and in-kind funding opportunities. These efforts have focused on, but have not been limited to, seeking transactions with brand and generic pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies as well as companies with potentially useful clinical development, formulation or manufacturing capabilities, significant subject matter expertise and financial resources. No assurance can be given that any transaction will come to fruition and that, if it does, the terms will be favorable to the Company. Financing our Platforms Our major challenge has been to raise substantial equity or equity-linked financing to support research and development plans for our 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 OTC Pink Markets listing, and low market capitalization as a result of our low stock price as well as the weakness of our balance sheet. For this reason, the Company has affected 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 unlock the unrealized asset values of each and set up its programs for partnering or sale. The Company is also engaged in business development efforts (licensing/sub-licensing, joint venture and other commercial structures) with a view to securing strategic partnerships that represent strategic and operational infrastructure additions, as well as cash and in-kind funding opportunities. These efforts have focused on, but have not been limited to, seeking to transact with brand and generic pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies as well as companies with potentially useful formulation or manufacturing capabilities, significant subject matter expertise and financial resources. We believe that some or all of our assets should be licensed, sub-licensed, joint ventured or even sold and have initiated efforts to do so. No assurance can be given that any transaction will come to fruition and that if it does, that the terms will be favorable to the Company. On January 11, 2023, the Company established ResolutionRx Ltd, initially a wholly-owned subsidiary of RespireRx, as an unlisted public company in Australia an. On February 27, 2023, ResolutionRx entered into a services agreement (“Australian CRO Agreement) with iNGENu CRO Pty Ltd (iNGENu), a contract research organization (“CRO”), pursuant to which iNGENu is to act as a full service CRO in support of ResolutionRx’s research and development (“R&D”) program, by conducting laboratory experiments to determine a final optimum dronabinol formulation, scaling up and manufacturing the chosen formulation for clinical use, preparing and submitting regulatory documents and designing and conducting clinical trials, including pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic, safety and pivotal efficacy studies. In addition, on January 27, 2023 ResolutionRx entered into a letter of intent and term sheet with Radium Capital (“Radium”) for a series of debt financings secured by the Australian Research and Development Tax Incentive (“R&DTI”), a tax credit or rebate available for the component of R&D activities that are qualified core and supporting activities. In the case of ResolutionRx, this is anticipated to be a 43.5% 80% Going Concern The Company’s 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 $ 2,102,720 3,144,840 143,905 956,172 11,880,320 904,439 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 and liabilities. 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 and in that regard, has formed an Australian subsidiary, ResolutionRx. See Note 10. Subsequent Events. In addition to the formation of ResolutionRx, such changes could include additional significant reorganizations, which may include the formation of one or more additional 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 assurances 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 Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Concentrations 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 fair value of financial instruments established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair 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 fair 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 fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair 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 and accounts payable and accrued expenses) are considered by the Company to be representative of the respective fair values of these instruments due to the short-term nature of those instruments. With respect to the note payable to SY Corporation and the convertible and other 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 and former officers, inclusive of accrued interest, to be representative of the respective fair 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, if any, including legal 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. Capitalized Financing Costs The Company presents debt issuance costs related to debt liability in its consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, 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 or a beneficial conversion feature, the convertible notes and warrants are evaluated to determine if there are embedded derivatives to be identified, bifurcated and valued at fair value in connection with and at the time of such financing. Notes Exchanges In cases where debt or other liabilities are exchanged for equity, the Company compares the carrying value of debt, inclusive of accrued interest, if applicable, being exchanged, to the fair value of the equity issued and records any loss or gain as a result of such exchange. See Note 4. Notes Payable. Extinguishment of Debt and Settlement or Modification of Liabilities The Company accounts for the extinguishment of debt and settlement or modification 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 consolidated statement of operations in the amount of the difference in the period in which such transaction occurs. Prepaid Insurance Prepaid insurance represents the premium paid for directors’ and officers’ insurance as well as the amount paid or incurred for office-related insurances and clinical trial coverage. Prepaid insurance premiums are recorded as prepaid insurance in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at each reporting date and amortized over the twelve month period of each policy 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 other 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 and directors, outside consultants and vendors measuring the cost of services received 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, which are sometimes subject to time-based vesting, are measured at the grant date fair value of the common stock and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period. Stock options granted to members of the Company’s outside consultants and other vendors are valued on the grant date. As the stock options vest, the Company recognizes this expense over the period in which the services are provided. The value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation 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 value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the estimated life 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 value of common stock is determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Stock options and warrants issued to non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to the Company or in settlement of debt are 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. The Company recognizes the value of stock-based payments in general and administrative costs and in research and development costs, as appropriate, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. As of December 31, 2022, there were stock option grants exercisable into 9,199,356 no 39,500 35,000 54,250 There were no stock options requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For stock options requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 the fair value of each stock option award was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Summary of Fair Value of Options Estimated using Black-Scholes Pricing Model with Valuation Assumptions 2021 Risk-free interest rate 1.24 % Expected dividend yield 0 % Expected volatility 189.33 % Expected life at date of issuance 5 The expected life for stock options requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 is estimated to be equal to the term of the common stock options issued in 2021. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based awards in general and administrative costs and in research and development costs, as appropriate, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. There were no Warrants exercisable into 256,926,748 590,932 380,568 16,200 no For warrants requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the fair value of each warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Schedule of Fair Value of Warrants Estimated using Black-Scholes Pricing Model with Valuation Assumptions 2022 2021 Risk-free interest rate 2.79 3.99 % 0.80 1.02 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected volatility 204.46 229.09 % 192.64 353.06 % Expected life at date of issuance 5 5 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 December 31, 2022, the Company did no 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 December 31, 2022, 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 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 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 period, as specified in the underlying license agreement, and are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s 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 consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s 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 are charged to 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 income or loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed dividends declared, amortized or accumulated. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the issuance of warrants during year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of $ 1,972,995 378,042 Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable of common stockholders 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company excluded the outstanding securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Schedule of Antidilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share 2022 2021 December 31, 2022 2021 Series B convertible preferred stock 1 1 Convertible notes payable 641,341,808 48,173,552 Common stock warrants 419,683,183 59,420,298 Common stock options 9,199,356 9,306,368 Total 1,070,224,348 116,900,219 Reclassifications Certain comparative figures in 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’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. Management has evaluated the potential impact and has early adopted as of January 1, 2022. Management believes the adoption has simplified the accounting for convertible debt instruments and does not believe adoption has had a substantial impact on the financial statements, however, it is possible that this ASU may have a substantial impact on the Company’s financial statements from future convertible debt financings. |

Income Taxes | 7. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are summarized below. Schedule of Deferred Tax Assets December 31, 2022 2021 Capitalized research and development costs $ - $ - Research and development credits 1,760,000 2,906,000 Stock-based compensation - 3,911,000 Stock options issued in connection with the payment of debt - 202,000 Net operating loss carryforwards 22,577,000 19,671,000 Accrued compensation 482,000 733,000 Accrued interest due to related party and others 222,000 186,000 Total deferred tax assets 25,041,000 27,609,000 Valuation allowance (25,041,000 ) (27,609,000 ) Net deferred tax assets $ - $ - In assessing the potential realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company attaining future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, management was unable to determine that it was more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized, and has therefore recorded an appropriate valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at such dates. No federal tax provision has been provided for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the losses incurred during such periods. Reconciled below is the difference between the income tax rate computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Reconciliation of Income Tax Rate Federal Statutory Rate and Effective Tax Rate Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 U. S. federal statutory tax rate (21.0 )% (21.0 )% Change in valuation allowance (9.0 )% (1.0 )% Adjustment to deferred tax asset 30.0 % 22.0 % Effective tax rate 0.0 % 0.0 % As of December 31, 2022, the Company had federal and state tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 83,317,000 and $ 81,348,000 , respectively. The state tax net operating loss carryforward consists of $ 67,305,000 for California purposes and $ 14,043,000 for New Jersey purposes. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2023 through 2042 . State net operating losses expire at various dates from 2022 through 2033 for California and through 2043 for New Jersey. The Company also had federal and California research and development tax credit carryforwards. The federal research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2022 through 2032 . The California research and development tax credit carryforward does not expire and will carryforward indefinitely until utilized. While the Company has not performed a formal analysis of the availability of its net operating loss carryforwards under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, management expects that the Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards will be limited in future periods. |

Subsequent Events | 10. Subsequent Events Creation of Wholly-Owned Subsidiary ResolutionRx Ltd On January 11, 2023, RespirerRx formed ResolutionRx Ltd (“ResolutionRx”), initially as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RespireRx. ResolutionRx is an unlisted public Australian company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary pharmaceutical cannabinoids. RespireRxintends to contribute, via sub-license and license or a different transaction structure that provides access to intellectual property and commercialization rights, its cannabinoid, specifically its dronabinol drug development program for OSA and certain other indications subject to certain liabilities. On 27 February 2023, ResolutionRx entered into a services agreement for clinical research and other related services with iNGENu CRO Pty Ltd, a contract research organization with headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. iNGENu is a bespoke contract research organization focused on cannabinoid and psychedelic clinical research. On 27 January 2023, entered into a letter of intent (“Radium LOI”) and term sheet (“Radium Term Sheet”) with Radium Capital (“Radium”). The Radium LOI and Radium Term Sheet summarize the background and principal terms of a series of planned financing arrangements between Radium Capital (“Radium”) and ResolutionRx in order to unlock research and development tax incentives (“R&DTI”). ResolutionRx and Radium have agreed to enter into a series of loan agreements which in the United States may be considered to be analogous to a line of credit designed to finance research and development (R&D) efforts prior to receipt of R&DTI from the Australian government. In the case of ResolutionRx, it is anticipated that the R&DTI would be 43.5% of qualified R&D expenses and is a rebate. Radium would finance up to, at the request of ResolutionRx, up to 80% of R&DTI, subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to receipt by Radium of a comfort letter from ResolutionRx’s R&DTI tax advisors as to the qualification of the R&D expenses for the R&DTI. R&D expenses outside Australia would be subject to an Overseas Finding before being considered for the R&DTI. Not all R&D expenses are qualified for the R&DTI. The loans would be collateralized by the R&D credit. ResolutionRx will require additional capital and is in discussions with several parties in this respect, receipt of which cannot be ensured. On April 3, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of its Series I Preferred Stock (“Series I Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

The Series J Eligible Payment is calculated as the Maximum Appreciated Price, which is closing price per share of Common Stock or its equivalent on the day that is the trading day on which an Series J Eligible Payment Event is publicly announced prior to the opening of financial markets, or the trading day following the public announcement of the Series J Eligible Payment Event if announced after the opening of the financial markets on the date of the Series J Eligible Payment Event (unless a lesser price is agreed by the Company and the Series I Holder) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock corresponding to the number of Series J Preferred Shares divided by the Series J Base Measurement Price ($0.006), subject to certain adjustments, multiplied by the Series J Preferred Stock Stated Value. A Series J Eligible Payment Event shall include: (i) any license, sublicense, joint venture or similar transaction resulting in an upfront payment of at least $20,000,000.00, or (ii) any milestone payment with respect to research and development of at least $20,000,000.00, or (iii) receipt of royalties in any one year of at least $20,000,000.00 or (iv) any event resulting in the Corporation’s receipt of an amount deemed by the Corporation’s Board of Directors to be establish a Series J Eligible Payment Event. Each share of Series J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to that number of votes, which shall be eligible to vote along with the Common Stockholders, or, as the case may be, when voting as a class, that is equal to one hundred (100x) times number calculated by dividing the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock by the Base Measurement Price as of the record date for such vote or written consent or, if there is no specified record date, as of the date of such vote or written consent. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company unless, prior thereto, the Series J Holders receive (i) an amount equal to 100% of the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends plus (ii) an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the Series J Eligible Payment Amount less the Series J Preferred Stock Stated Value paid pursuant to (i) above, plus (iii) the pro rata amount when considered with all outstanding shares of Common Stock and any securities that may be convertible into, exercisable for or exchanged for Common Stock that have similar rites, of any remaining distribution. The distribution shall result in a Redemption. If the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay in full such amounts due the Series J Holders or any holders of another class that is parri pasu with the Series J Holders (“Series J Pari Passu Holders”), then the entire assets shall be distributed ratably among the Series J Holders and Series J Pari Passu Holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full and such distribution shall result in a Redemption. A Fundamental Transaction, or a Change of Control Transaction, each as defined in the Certificate, shall be deemed to be Liquidations. On April 12, 2023, RespireRx entered into an exchange agreement and two exchange and settlement agreements with two executive officrs and one vendor collectively, the “Series J Settlement Agreements” and the executive officers and vendor are referred to herein as the “Series J Exchangers.” Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreements, the Company, in exchange for the issuance of Series J Preferred Stock to the Exchangers, the Exchangers exchanged or settled their rights to receive an aggregate of $ 570,000 The Settlement Agreements, the transfer requests and the Series J Certificate of Designation and the delivery of the Series J Preferred Stock was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations 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 fair value of financial instruments established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair 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 fair 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 fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair 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 and accounts payable and accrued expenses) are considered by the Company to be representative of the respective fair values of these instruments due to the short-term nature of those instruments. With respect to the note payable to SY Corporation and the convertible and other 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 and former officers, inclusive of accrued interest, to be representative of the respective fair 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, if any, including legal 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. |
Capitalized Financing Costs | Capitalized Financing Costs The Company presents debt issuance costs related to debt liability in its consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, 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 or a beneficial conversion feature, the convertible notes and warrants are evaluated to determine if there are embedded derivatives to be identified, bifurcated and valued at fair value in connection with and at the time of such financing. |
Notes Exchanges | Notes Exchanges In cases where debt or other liabilities are exchanged for equity, the Company compares the carrying value of debt, inclusive of accrued interest, if applicable, being exchanged, to the fair value of the equity issued and records any loss or gain as a result of such exchange. See Note 4. Notes Payable. |
Extinguishment of Debt and Settlement or Modification of Liabilities | Extinguishment of Debt and Settlement or Modification of Liabilities The Company accounts for the extinguishment of debt and settlement or modification 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 consolidated statement of operations in the amount of the difference in the period in which such transaction occurs. |
Prepaid Insurance | Prepaid Insurance Prepaid insurance represents the premium paid for directors’ and officers’ insurance as well as the amount paid or incurred for office-related insurances and clinical trial coverage. Prepaid insurance premiums are recorded as prepaid insurance in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at each reporting date and amortized over the twelve month period of each policy 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 other 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 and directors, outside consultants and vendors measuring the cost of services received 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, which are sometimes subject to time-based vesting, are measured at the grant date fair value of the common stock and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period. Stock options granted to members of the Company’s outside consultants and other vendors are valued on the grant date. As the stock options vest, the Company recognizes this expense over the period in which the services are provided. The value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation 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 value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the estimated life 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 value of common stock is determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Stock options and warrants issued to non-employees as compensation for services to be provided to the Company or in settlement of debt are 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. The Company recognizes the value of stock-based payments in general and administrative costs and in research and development costs, as appropriate, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. As of December 31, 2022, there were stock option grants exercisable into 9,199,356 no 39,500 35,000 54,250 There were no stock options requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For stock options requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 the fair value of each stock option award was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Summary of Fair Value of Options Estimated using Black-Scholes Pricing Model with Valuation Assumptions 2021 Risk-free interest rate 1.24 % Expected dividend yield 0 % Expected volatility 189.33 % Expected life at date of issuance 5 The expected life for stock options requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 is estimated to be equal to the term of the common stock options issued in 2021. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based awards in general and administrative costs and in research and development costs, as appropriate, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option and warrant exercises. There were no Warrants exercisable into 256,926,748 590,932 380,568 16,200 no For warrants requiring an assessment of fair value during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the fair value of each warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Schedule of Fair Value of Warrants Estimated using Black-Scholes Pricing Model with Valuation Assumptions 2022 2021 Risk-free interest rate 2.79 3.99 % 0.80 1.02 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected volatility 204.46 229.09 % 192.64 353.06 % Expected life at date of issuance 5 5 |
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 December 31, 2022, the Company did no 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 December 31, 2022, 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 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 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 period, as specified in the underlying license agreement, and are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s 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 consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s 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 are charged to 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 income or loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed dividends declared, amortized or accumulated. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the issuance of warrants during year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of $ 1,972,995 378,042 Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable of common stockholders 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company excluded the outstanding securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Schedule of Antidilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share 2022 2021 December 31, 2022 2021 Series B convertible preferred stock 1 1 Convertible notes payable 641,341,808 48,173,552 Common stock warrants 419,683,183 59,420,298 Common stock options 9,199,356 9,306,368 Total 1,070,224,348 116,900,219 |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain comparative figures in 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’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. Management has evaluated the potential impact and has early adopted as of January 1, 2022. Management believes the adoption has simplified the accounting for convertible debt instruments and does not believe adoption has had a substantial impact on the financial statements, however, it is possible that this ASU may have a substantial impact on the Company’s financial statements from future convertible debt financings. |
