Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company is dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative therapies that improve outcomes in patients suffering from life-threatening diseases. GIAPREZA™ (angiotensin II) injection is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as a vasoconstrictor indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock. XERAVA™ (eravacycline) for injection is approved by the FDA as a tetracycline class antibacterial indicated for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (“cIAI”) in patients 18 years of age and older. On July 28, 2020, La Jolla completed its acquisition of Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Tetraphase”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on commercializing XERAVA, for $43 million in upfront cash plus potential future cash payments of up to $16 million. The Company’s consolidated financial results for the period ended December 31, 2020 include Tetraphase’s financial results subsequent to the acquisition closing date of July 28, 2020 (see Note 11). As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million and $87.8 million, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company received $19.1 million in connection with the PAION License (see Note 15). Based on the Company’s current operating plans and projections, the Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations for at least one year from the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) |

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Certain amounts previously reported in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net loss, shareholders’ (deficit) equity or cash flows. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts. Income generated from cash held in savings accounts is recorded as interest income. The carrying value of the Company’s savings accounts is included in cash and approximates the fair value. Cash is classified as restricted cash when certain funds are reserved for a specific purpose and are not available for immediate or general business use. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable are recorded net of customers’ allowances for prompt-pay discounts, chargebacks and doubtful accounts. Allowances for prompt-pay discounts and chargebacks are based on contractual terms. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on existing contractual payment terms, actual payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances. As of December 31, 20 20 , the Company did no t have any allowances for doubtful accounts . Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts at federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 521 750 and other healthcare organizations other healthcare organizations These specialty and wholesale distributors are considered our customers for accounting purposes. The following table includes the percentage of U.S. net product sales and accounts receivable balances for the Company’s three major customers, each of which comprised 10% or more of its U.S. net product sales: U.S. Net Product Sales Accounts Receivable Year Ended December 31, 2020 As of December 31, 2020 Customer A 37 % 36 % Customer B 33 % 33 % Customer C 27 % 28 % Total 97 % 97 % Inventory, Net Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically analyzes inventory levels and writes down inventory as cost of product sales when: inventory has become obsolete; inventory has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value; or inventory quantities are in excess of expected product sales. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC”) Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 unobservable inputs, in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company's acquired intangible assets, deferred royalty obligation (see Note 5) and contingent value rights Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 805. This method requires, among other things, that results of operations of acquired companies are included in La Jolla's financial results beginning on the respective acquisition dates, and that assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value using a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model requires assumptions about the timing and amount of future net cash flows, the cost of capital and terminal values from the perspective of a market participant. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred (the “Purchase Price”) over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Contingent consideration liabilities are recognized as part of the Purchase Price at the estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities will be included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value during a period of time not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Legal costs, due diligence costs, business valuation costs and all other acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred. Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with a definite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, including its eventual residual value, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Fair value is estimated through discounted cash flow models to project cash flows from the asset. The Company recognized no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2020. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the Purchase Price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company may exceed its fair value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If that is the case, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test, and, if the carrying amount of the Company exceeds its fair value, then the Company will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which its carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The Company recognized no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2020. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to seven years Leases For operating leases other than short-term leases, at lease commencement, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company calculates the present value of lease payments using the discount rate implicit in the lease, unless that rate cannot be readily determined. In that case, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company records a corresponding right-of-use lease asset based on the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs paid to the lessor prior to the lease commencement date. After lease commencement, the Company measures its leases as follows: (i) the lease liability based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement; and (ii) the right-of-use lease asset based on the remeasured lease liability, adjusted for any unamortized lease incentives received, any unamortized initial direct costs and the cumulative difference between rent expense and amounts paid under the lease agreement. Any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606— Revenue from Contracts with Customers Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs on delivery. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following 5 steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the relevant performance obligations. Revenue from product sales is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration consisting of chargebacks, discounts, returns, Medicaid rebates and administrative fees. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected-value amount method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results vary materially from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which will affect revenue from product sales and earnings in the period such estimates are adjusted. These items include: • Chargebacks—Chargebacks are discounts the Company provides to distributors in the event that the sales prices to end users are below the distributors’ acquisition price. This may occur due to a direct contract with a health system, a group purchasing organization (“GPO”) agreement or a sale to a government facility. Chargebacks are estimated based on known chargeback rates and recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Discounts—The Company offers customers various forms of incentives and consideration, including prompt-pay and other discounts. The Company estimates discounts primarily based on contractual terms. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Returns—The Company offers customers a limited right of return, generally for damaged or expired product. The Company estimates returns based on an internal analysis, which includes actual experience. The estimates for returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Medicaid Rebates—We participate in Medicaid rebate programs, which provide assistance to certain low-income patients based on each individual state’s guidelines regarding eligibility and services. Under the Medicaid rebate programs, we pay a rebate to each participating state, generally within three months after the quarter in which product was sold. The estimates for rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Administrative Fees—The Company pays administrative fees to GPOs for services and access to data. Additionally, the Company pays an Industrial Funding Fee as part of the U.S. General Services Administration’s Federal Supply Schedules program. These fees are based on contracted terms and are paid after the quarter in which the product was purchased by the applicable GPO or government agency. Administrative fees are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to customers. The Company will continue to assess its estimates of variable consideration as it accumulates additional historical data and will adjust these estimates accordingly. Shipping and Handling Expense Shipping and handling expense is included in cost of product sales. Research and Development Expense Research and development expense includes salaries and benefits, facilities and other overhead costs, research-related manufacturing costs, contract service and clinical and preclinical-related service costs performed by clinical research organizations, research institutions and other outside service providers. Research and development expense is charged to operations as incurred when the expenditures relate to the Company’s research and development efforts and have no alternative future uses. In accordance with certain research and development agreements, the Company is obligated to make certain upfront payments upon execution of the agreement. Advance payments, including nonrefundable amounts, for materials or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. Acquisition or milestone payments that the Company makes in connection with in-licensed technology are expensed as incurred when there is uncertainty in receiving future economic benefits from the licensed technology. The Company considers the future economic benefits from the licensed technology to be uncertain until such licensed technology is incorporated into products that are approved for marketing by the FDA or when other significant risk factors are abated. For accounting purposes, management has viewed future economic benefits for all of the Company’s licensed technology to be uncertain. Patent Costs Legal costs in connection with approved patents and patent applications are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based Compensation Expense The Company issues stock options to directors, officers, employees and certain consultants. Share-based compensation expense represents the estimated fair value of equity awards, which are comprised of stock options Interest Expense Interest expense and the amortization of issuance costs related to the deferred royalty obligation (see Note 5) are recognized over the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation using the effective interest method. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation require the Company to make estimates that could impact the effective interest rate. Each reporting period, the Company estimates the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation based on forecasted net sales of GIAPREZA. Changes in interest expense resulting from changes in the effective interest rate, if any, are recorded on a prospective basis. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is applied against any deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potential common shares. Convertible preferred stock and stock options are considered potential common shares and are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method when their effect is dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. There have been no items qualifying as other comprehensive loss, and, therefore, comprehensive loss for the periods reported was comprised solely of the Company’s net loss.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | 3. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potential common shares. Convertible preferred stock and stock options are considered potential common shares and are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method when their effect is dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 10.9 million and 12.4 million potential common shares, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Deferred Royalty Obligation | 5. Deferred Royalty Obligation In May 2018, the Company closed a $125.0 million royalty financing agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with HealthCare Royalty Partners (“HCR”). Under the terms of the Royalty Agreement, the Company received $125.0 million in exchange for tiered royalty payments on worldwide net sales of GIAPREZA. HCR is entitled to receive quarterly royalties on worldwide net sales of GIAPREZA beginning April 1, 2018. Quarterly payments to HCR under the Royalty Agreement start at a maximum royalty rate, with step-downs based on the achievement of annual net product sales thresholds. Through December 31, 2021, the royalty rate will be a maximum of 10%. Starting January 1, 2022, the maximum royalty rate may increase by 4% if an agreed-upon, cumulative net product sales threshold has not been met, and, starting January 1, 2024, the maximum royalty rate may increase by an additional 4% if a different agreed-upon, cumulative net product sales threshold has not been met. The Royalty Agreement is subject to maximum aggregate royalty payments to HCR of $225.0 million. The Royalty Agreement expires upon the first to occur of January 1, 2031 or when the maximum aggregate royalty payments have been made. The Royalty Agreement was entered into by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, La Jolla Pharma, LLC, and HCR has no recourse under the Royalty Agreement against La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company or any assets other than GIAPREZA. On receipt of the $125.0 million payment from HCR, the Company recorded a deferred royalty obligation of $125.0 million, net of issuance costs of $0.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized interest expense, including amortization of the obligation discount, of $10.0 million and $10.8 million, respectively. The carrying value of the deferred royalty obligation as of December 31, 2020 was $124.4 million, net of unamortized obligation discount of $0.6 million, and was classified as noncurrent. The related accrued interest expense was $22.7 million and $15.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which $ 19.1 million and $ 12.8 million was classified as noncurrent liabilities, respectively. During the year ended December 31 , 2020, and 2019, the Company made royalty payments to HCR of $ 2.8 million and $ 2.0 million, respectively, and, as of December 31 , 2020, the Company recorded royalty obligations payable of $ 0.9 million in accrued expenses. The deferred royalty obligation is classified as Level 3 in the ASC Topic 820-10, three-tier fair value hierarchy, and its carrying value approximates fair value. Under the terms of the Royalty Agreement, La Jolla Pharma, LLC has certain obligations, including the obligation to use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to commercialize GIAPREZA. If La Jolla Pharma, LLC is held to not have met these obligations, HCR would have the right to terminate the Royalty Agreement and demand payment from La Jolla Pharma, LLC of either $125.0 million or $225.0 million (depending on which obligation La Jolla Pharma, LLC is held to not have met), minus aggregate royalties already paid to HCR. In the event that La Jolla Pharma, LLC fails to timely pay such amount if and when due, HCR would have the right to foreclose on the GIAPREZA-related assets. The Company concluded that certain of these contract provisions that could result in an acceleration of amounts due under the Royalty Agreement are embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the deferred royalty obligation and fair value recognition. The Company determined the fair value of each derivative by assessing the probability of each event occurring, as well as the potential repayment amounts and timing of such repayments that would result under various scenarios. As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of the embedded derivatives is immaterial as of December 31, 2020, and 2019. Each reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of the embedded derivatives until the features lapse and/or the termination of the Royalty Agreement. Any change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives will be recorded as either a gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. |

The Waltham Lease commenced on December 21, 2020 and expires on November 30, 2023. In addition to rent, the Waltham Lease requires the Company to pay certain taxes, insurance and operating costs relating to the leased premises (collectively, “Lease Operating Costs”). The Waltham Lease contains customary default provisions, representations, warranties and covenants. The Waltham Lease is classified as an operating lease. San Diego Lease On December 29, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with BMR-Axiom LP (the “San Diego Landlord”) to lease office and laboratory space located at 4550 Towne Centre Court, San Diego, California (the “San Diego Lease”) for a period of 10 years commencing on October 30, 2017 (the “Initial Lease Term”). The Company had an option to extend the San Diego Lease for an additional 5 years at the end of the Initial Lease Term. On August 6, 2020, La Jolla received notice from the Landlord that the Landlord exercised its option to terminate the San Diego Lease effective August 31, 2020. The Landlord exercised its right to terminate the San Diego Lease and recapture the property after La Jolla provided notice to the Landlord of its intent to assign the San Diego Lease. In connection with the termination of the San Diego Lease, La Jolla will have no further obligations under the San Diego Lease after the August 31, 2020 termination date, including with respect to future payments under the San Diego Lease. The Company provided a standby letter of credit for $0.9 million in lieu of a security deposit. This amount decreased to $0.6 million after year two of the Initial Lease Term. As of December 31, 2020, there was no cash pledged as collateral for such letter of credit and recorded as restricted cash.

The Company recognizes the lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations and does not record a lease liability or right-of-use asset for this lease Watertown Lease On November 16, 2006, Tetraphase entered into an agreement with ARE-480 Arsenal Street, LLC (the “Watertown Landlord”), to lease office and laboratory space located at 480 Arsenal Way, Watertown, Massachusetts (the “Watertown Lease”). The Watertown Lease originally provided for an expiration on November 30, 2019. In November 2018, Tetraphase entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Watertown Lease to extend the term of the lease through November 30, 2022 (the “Lease Term”). In January 2020, Tetraphase entered into a Ninth Amendment to the Watertown Lease to surrender a portion of its leased space, which reduced the leased premises by a total of 15,899 square feet from approximately 37,438 square feet to approximately 21,539 square feet. On December 14, 2020, Tetraphase entered into a Termination of Lease and Voluntary Surrender of Premises Agreement with the Watertown Landlord for the Watertown Lease, effective December 31, 2020. In connection with the Lease Termination Agreement, La Jolla will pay the Landlord approximately $0.5 million and will otherwise have no further obligations under the Watertown Lease, including with respect to the estimated remaining $2.1 million of future lease payments.

As of December 31, 2020, there was no lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset related to the Watertown Lease. Accounting for Operating Leases The Company recorded lease liabilities and right-of-use lease assets for certain operating leases based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The options to extend the operating leases were not recognized as part of the Company’s lease liabilities and right-of-use lease assets. Lease expense under leases was $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $3.0 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate for the operating leases was 2.8 years and 4.0%, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plans | 8. Equity Incentive Plans 2013 Equity Incentive Plan In September 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Equity Plan”). The 2013 Equity Plan is an omnibus equity compensation plan that permits the issuance of various types of share-based compensation awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units, as well as cash awards, to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants. The 2013 Equity Plan has a 10-year term and permits the issuance of incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”). The administrator under the plan has broad discretion to establish the terms of awards, including the size, term, exercise price and vesting conditions. Generally, grants to employees vest over four years one-year A total of 9,600,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Equity Plan”). As of December 31, 2020, 5,478,334 shares of common stock remained available for future grants under the 2013 Equity Plan. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In July 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock twice per month at a price equal to 85% of the closing price of shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of each purchase. Eligible employees purchasing shares under the ESPP are subject to an annual cap equal to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of the employee’s annual cash compensation. Shares purchased under the ESPP cannot be sold for a period of one year following the purchase date (or such shorter period of time if the participating employee’s employment terminates before this one-year anniversary). A total of 750,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). As of December 31, 2020, 455,768 shares of common stock remained available for future grants under the ESPP. Equity Awards The activity related to equity awards, which are comprised of stock options, during the year ended December 31, 2020 is summarized as follows: Equity Awards Weighted- average Exercise Price per Share Weighted- average Remaining Contractual Term (1) (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (2) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 5,616,840 $ 19.50 Granted 3,458,513 $ 4.61 Exercised (94,219 ) $ 6.42 Cancelled/forfeited (4,859,468 ) $ 18.34 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 4,121,666 $ 8.67 8.48 $ 7,792 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 1,072,061 $ 18.37 5.95 $ 1,544 (1) (2) The total intrinsic value of equity awards exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of equity awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $8.4 million and $25.9 million, respectively. Share-based Compensation Expense For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the weighted-average grant date fair value per stock option were $3.48 and $4.99, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option grant on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes model”) with the following assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Expected volatility 93 % 97 % Expected term (years) 6.07 6.05 Risk-free interest rate 0.7 % 2.5 % Dividend yield - - Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of shares of the Company’s common stock. In determining the expected term of employee stock options, the Company uses the “simplified” method. The expected term assumptions for stock options granted to nonemployees, other than nonemployee directors, are based upon the contractual term of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the stock options in effect at the time of the grants. The dividend yield assumption is based on the expectation of no future dividend payments by the Company. In addition to assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, the Company reduces share-based compensation expense based on actual forfeitures in the period that each forfeiture occurs. Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock twice per month at a price equal to 85% of the closing price of shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of each purchase. The benefit received by the employees, which is equal to a 15% discount on the shares of the Company’s common stock purchased, is recognized as share-based compensation expense on the date of each purchase. The Company recorded less than $0.1 million of share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for each year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to shares of common stock issued under the ESPP. The classification of share-based compensation expense is summarized as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Selling, general and administrative $ 2,808 $ 8,872 Research and development 3,399 14,861 Total share-based compensation expense $ 6,207 $ 23,733 As of December 31, 2020, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested equity awards was $10.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years. As of December 31, 2020, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to shares of common stock issued under the ESPP. |

Subsequent to July 28, 2020 and through December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $0.8 million gain as other income in the consolidated statements of operations resulting from the change in fair value of CVRs. The Company recorded a $3.3 million fair value step-up adjustment to Tetraphase’s inventory as of the acquisition date. Raw material components and active pharmaceutical ingredients were recorded based on estimated replacement cost. Finished drug product was valued at estimated selling cost, adjusted for costs of selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance for such selling effort from the viewpoint of a market participant. This fair value step-up adjustment is recorded as cost of product sales when the inventory is sold to customers, $2.5 million of which was included in cost of product sales subsequent to July 28, 2020 and through December 31, 2020. Identifiable intangible assets consist of certain technology and trade names acquired from Tetraphase, and include the value of the Harvard, Paratek and Everest Licenses (see Note 10). The acquired intangible assets have definite useful lives and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years. Goodwill represents the excess of the Purchase Price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the value of the stronger platform to increase patient access to the Company’s commercial products and the operational synergies of the combined Company. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. The goodwill is only deductible for tax purposes if the Company makes a U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 338 (“Section 338”) election by April 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating whether to make a Section 338 election. Subsequent to July 28, 2020 and through December 31, 2020, XERAVA U.S. net sales were $4.2 million and operating losses, excluding corporate overhead costs, attributable to Tetraphase were $10.3 million, inclusive of $0.6 million of intangible asset amortization included in selling, general and administrative expense and $2.5 million of the inventory fair value step-up adjustment included in cost of product sales. Acquisition-related expenses, which were comprised primarily of legal fees, were $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and were included in selling, general and administrative expense. |

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Company-wide Realignments | 12. Company-wide Realignments On December 2, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “2019 Realignment”) that reduced the Company’s headcount. The 2019 Realignment did not result in any reductions in headcount in the Company’s commercial organization supporting its products. For the year ended December 31, 2019, total expense was comprised of $5.8 million for one-time termination benefits to the affected employees, including severance and health care benefits, offset by a $0.9 million reversal of non-cash, share-based compensation expense related to forfeited, unvested equity awards. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had paid all cash severance and health benefits charges related to the 2019 Realignment. On May 28, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “2020 Realignment”) to align its organization with the Company’s sole focus on the commercialization of its products. The 2020 Realignment reduced the Company’s headcount. For the year ended December 31, 2020, total expense was comprised of $3.6 million for one-time termination benefits to the affected employees, including severance and health care benefits, offset by a $0.4 million reversal of non-cash, share-based compensation expense related to forfeited, unvested equity awards. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had paid $3.2 million of the $3.6 million cash severance and health care benefits charges, and the remaining $0.4 million of the cash severance and health care benefits charges were included in accrued payroll and related expenses. The Company expects to complete making substantially all of the payments related to the 2020 Realignment by the end of the first quarter of 2021. In connection with the acquisition of Tetraphase, the Company incurred one-time charges related to a reduction in the combined Company’s headcount. For the year ended December 31, 2020, total expense was comprised of $3.1 million for one-time termination benefits to the affected employees, including severance and health care benefits. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had paid $2.1 million of the $3.1 million cash severance and health care benefits charges, and the remaining $1.0 million of the cash severance and health care benefits charges were included in accrued payroll and related expenses. The Company expects to complete making substantially all of the payments related to this headcount reduction by the end of the second quarter of 2021. |

Income Taxes | 14. Income Taxes For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record a provision for income taxes, as the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 84,827 $ 81,406 Research and development credits 24,179 24,011 Deferred royalty obligation 36,265 30,460 Share-based compensation expense 2,497 9,581 Depreciation and amortization expense 1,044 - Lease liability 136 7,127 Other 436 1,263 Total gross deferred tax assets 149,384 153,848 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization - (1,612 ) Right-of-use lease asset (136 ) (3,775 ) Valuation allowance (149,248 ) (148,461 ) Net deferred tax assets $ - $ - The difference between income taxes computed using the U.S. federal income effective tax rate and the provision for income taxes is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Federal statutory rate $ (8,278 ) $ (24,467 ) State tax benefit (1,740 ) (3,825 ) Change in valuation allowance 787 102,583 Share-based compensation expense 9,072 7,532 State rate true-up 291 2,513 Establishment of NOLs and credits, post-Section 382 ownership change - (81,368 ) Research and development credits (173 ) (2,599 ) Foreign rate differential - (62 ) Other permanent differences 41 (307 ) Provision for income taxes $ - $ - As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its federal and state deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. Pursuant to Section 382 and 383 of the IRC, utilization of the Company’s federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations in the event of any significant changes in its ownership structure. These annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards, unless utilized. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state research and development carryforwards acquired in the Tetraphase transaction will likely be subject to annual limitations under IRC Section 382 and 383, and more likely than not, will expire unused. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $815.4 million and $670.8 million, respectively. In addition, the Company had estimated federal and California research and development credit carryforwards of $20.6 million and $20.4 million, respectively. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $567.0 million, state net operating loss carryforwards of $622.6 million, federal research and development credit carryforwards of $20.6 million and Massachusetts research and development credit carryforwards of $3.5 million will begin to expire in 2026, unless utilized. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $248.4 million, state net operating loss carryforwards of $48.2 million and California research and development credit carryforwards of $16.9 million will carry forward indefinitely, unless utilized. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company does not anticipate there will be a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates |
Principles of Consolidation | All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. |
Reclassification | Certain amounts previously reported in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net loss, shareholders’ (deficit) equity or cash flows. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts. Income generated from cash held in savings accounts is recorded as interest income. The carrying value of the Company’s savings accounts is included in cash and approximates the fair value. Cash is classified as restricted cash when certain funds are reserved for a specific purpose and are not available for immediate or general business use. |
Accounts Receivable, Net | Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable are recorded net of customers’ allowances for prompt-pay discounts, chargebacks and doubtful accounts. Allowances for prompt-pay discounts and chargebacks are based on contractual terms. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on existing contractual payment terms, actual payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances. As of December 31, 20 20 , the Company did no t have any allowances for doubtful accounts . |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts at federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 521 750 and other healthcare organizations other healthcare organizations These specialty and wholesale distributors are considered our customers for accounting purposes. The following table includes the percentage of U.S. net product sales and accounts receivable balances for the Company’s three major customers, each of which comprised 10% or more of its U.S. net product sales: U.S. Net Product Sales Accounts Receivable Year Ended December 31, 2020 As of December 31, 2020 Customer A 37 % 36 % Customer B 33 % 33 % Customer C 27 % 28 % Total 97 % 97 % |
Inventory, Net | Inventory, Net Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically analyzes inventory levels and writes down inventory as cost of product sales when: inventory has become obsolete; inventory has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value; or inventory quantities are in excess of expected product sales. |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC”) Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 unobservable inputs, in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company's acquired intangible assets, deferred royalty obligation (see Note 5) and contingent value rights |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 805. This method requires, among other things, that results of operations of acquired companies are included in La Jolla's financial results beginning on the respective acquisition dates, and that assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value using a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model requires assumptions about the timing and amount of future net cash flows, the cost of capital and terminal values from the perspective of a market participant. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred (the “Purchase Price”) over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Contingent consideration liabilities are recognized as part of the Purchase Price at the estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities will be included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value during a period of time not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Legal costs, due diligence costs, business valuation costs and all other acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with a definite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, including its eventual residual value, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Fair value is estimated through discounted cash flow models to project cash flows from the asset. The Company recognized no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the Purchase Price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company may exceed its fair value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If that is the case, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test, and, if the carrying amount of the Company exceeds its fair value, then the Company will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which its carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The Company recognized no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2020. |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to seven years |
Leases | Leases For operating leases other than short-term leases, at lease commencement, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company calculates the present value of lease payments using the discount rate implicit in the lease, unless that rate cannot be readily determined. In that case, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company records a corresponding right-of-use lease asset based on the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs paid to the lessor prior to the lease commencement date. After lease commencement, the Company measures its leases as follows: (i) the lease liability based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement; and (ii) the right-of-use lease asset based on the remeasured lease liability, adjusted for any unamortized lease incentives received, any unamortized initial direct costs and the cumulative difference between rent expense and amounts paid under the lease agreement. Any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606— Revenue from Contracts with Customers Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs on delivery. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following 5 steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the relevant performance obligations. Revenue from product sales is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration consisting of chargebacks, discounts, returns, Medicaid rebates and administrative fees. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected-value amount method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results vary materially from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which will affect revenue from product sales and earnings in the period such estimates are adjusted. These items include: • Chargebacks—Chargebacks are discounts the Company provides to distributors in the event that the sales prices to end users are below the distributors’ acquisition price. This may occur due to a direct contract with a health system, a group purchasing organization (“GPO”) agreement or a sale to a government facility. Chargebacks are estimated based on known chargeback rates and recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Discounts—The Company offers customers various forms of incentives and consideration, including prompt-pay and other discounts. The Company estimates discounts primarily based on contractual terms. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Returns—The Company offers customers a limited right of return, generally for damaged or expired product. The Company estimates returns based on an internal analysis, which includes actual experience. The estimates for returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Medicaid Rebates—We participate in Medicaid rebate programs, which provide assistance to certain low-income patients based on each individual state’s guidelines regarding eligibility and services. Under the Medicaid rebate programs, we pay a rebate to each participating state, generally within three months after the quarter in which product was sold. The estimates for rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to the Company’s customers. • Administrative Fees—The Company pays administrative fees to GPOs for services and access to data. Additionally, the Company pays an Industrial Funding Fee as part of the U.S. General Services Administration’s Federal Supply Schedules program. These fees are based on contracted terms and are paid after the quarter in which the product was purchased by the applicable GPO or government agency. Administrative fees are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to customers. The Company will continue to assess its estimates of variable consideration as it accumulates additional historical data and will adjust these estimates accordingly. |
Shipping and Handling Expense | Shipping and Handling Expense Shipping and handling expense is included in cost of product sales. |
Research and Development Expense | Research and Development Expense Research and development expense includes salaries and benefits, facilities and other overhead costs, research-related manufacturing costs, contract service and clinical and preclinical-related service costs performed by clinical research organizations, research institutions and other outside service providers. Research and development expense is charged to operations as incurred when the expenditures relate to the Company’s research and development efforts and have no alternative future uses. In accordance with certain research and development agreements, the Company is obligated to make certain upfront payments upon execution of the agreement. Advance payments, including nonrefundable amounts, for materials or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. Acquisition or milestone payments that the Company makes in connection with in-licensed technology are expensed as incurred when there is uncertainty in receiving future economic benefits from the licensed technology. The Company considers the future economic benefits from the licensed technology to be uncertain until such licensed technology is incorporated into products that are approved for marketing by the FDA or when other significant risk factors are abated. For accounting purposes, management has viewed future economic benefits for all of the Company’s licensed technology to be uncertain. |
Patent Costs | Patent Costs Legal costs in connection with approved patents and patent applications are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Share-based Compensation Expense | Share-based Compensation Expense The Company issues stock options to directors, officers, employees and certain consultants. Share-based compensation expense represents the estimated fair value of equity awards, which are comprised of stock options |
Interest Expense | Interest Expense Interest expense and the amortization of issuance costs related to the deferred royalty obligation (see Note 5) are recognized over the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation using the effective interest method. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation require the Company to make estimates that could impact the effective interest rate. Each reporting period, the Company estimates the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation based on forecasted net sales of GIAPREZA. Changes in interest expense resulting from changes in the effective interest rate, if any, are recorded on a prospective basis. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is applied against any deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potential common shares. Convertible preferred stock and stock options are considered potential common shares and are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury stock method when their effect is dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. There have been no items qualifying as other comprehensive loss, and, therefore, comprehensive loss for the periods reported was comprised solely of the Company’s net loss. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position and result of operations. |
