| Organization, Operations and Liquidity | NOTE 1 Organization, Operations and Liquidity Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company,” “RPRX,” “Repros,” or “we,” “us” or “our”) was organized on August 20, 1987. We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new drugs to treat hormonal and reproductive system disorders. Our enclomiphene product candidate, is a single isomer of clomiphene citrate and is an orally active proprietary small molecule compound. We are developing enclomiphene for the treatment of secondary hypogonadism in overweight men wishing to restore normal testicular function. Men with secondary hypogonadism exhibit low testosterone levels due to under stimulated testes but they are generally fertile. Enclomiphene is designed to treat the underlying mechanism, insufficient stimulation of the testes by the pituitary, which causes secondary hypogonadism. Secondary hypogonadism due to being overweight or obese is the single greatest cause of hypogonadism in general. On February 2, 2015, we announced that we electronically submitted our New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for enclomiphene. The FDA accepted the NDA for review on April 1, 2015 and later assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of November 30, 2015. In addition, the Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products (the Division) of the FDA scheduled an advisory committee meeting to review the NDA for November 3, 2015. However, the Division subsequently cancelled the scheduled advisory committee meeting due to questions that arose late in the review regarding the bioanalytical method validation that could affect interpretability of certain pivotal study data. On December 1, 2015, we announced that we had received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA. A CRL informs companies that an NDA cannot be approved in its present form. In the CRL, the FDA stated that, based on recent scientific developments, the design of the enclomiphene Phase 3 studies is no longer adequate to demonstrate clinical benefit and recommended that Repros conduct an additional Phase 3 study or studies to support approval in the target population. The FDA also noted concerns regarding study entry criteria, titration and bioanalytical method validation in the Phase 3 program. Subsequently, on February 4, 2016, the Company attended a meeting with the FDA reviewers and senior leaders to discuss resolution of issues identified during the NDA review. The meeting covered a broad range of topics surrounding the NDA data as well as emerging agency and expert thinking regarding the treatment of hypogonadism. The Company believes based on the meeting that the FDA is not closed to considering secondary hypogonadism as an indication. Additionally, in January 2016, the Company initiated a Phase 2 double-blind, placebo controlled, proof of concept study, ZA-205, in obese secondary hypogonadal men to assess the impact of enclomiphene on metabolic parameters and quality of life under a diet and exercise regimen. This study was fully enrolled in February 2016 and six month data is expected in the third quarter of 2016. Proellex®, our product candidate for female reproductive health, is a new chemical entity that acts as a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor and is being developed for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis. On December 29, 2014, we announced that we have initiated two Phase 2B studies for low dose Proellex® in the treatment of uterine fibroids and are currently conducting a Phase 2 study in the treatment of endometriosis. All three of these Proellex® studies were fully enrolled in January 2016. On April 12, 2016, we announced positive clinical data for the vaginal application of Proellex® in women with severe menstrual bleeding due to uterine fibroids.
