Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. The U.S. dollar is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other period. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities include the accrual of research and development expenses, valuation of equity awards for stock-based compensation, determination of incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and fair value of marketable securities. The Company evaluates and adjusts its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company maintains bank deposits in federally insured financial institutions and these deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by any of the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities to the extent recorded in the balance sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses to date related to these concentrations. The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of other risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s current and potential future product candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from substitute products and larger companies, securing and protecting proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals or sole-source suppliers. The Company relies on single-source suppliers for some components of its supply chain. If any of the single source suppliers fails to satisfy the Company’s requirements on a timely basis, it could suffer delays in its clinical development programs and commercial preparation activities, which could adversely affect operating results. The Company’s product candidates require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and comparable foreign regulatory authorities prior to commercial sales in their respective jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that any product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company was denied approval, approval was delayed, or the Company was unable to maintain approval for any product candidate, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This update will provide all entities with a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses by assuming that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2026, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements or related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update will improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and research and development). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard as of and for the year ending December 31, 2027 and for the interim reporting periods within the year ending December 31, 2028. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This update will introduce changes to the timing of software cost capitalization based on likelihood of completion for all entities subject to the internal-use software guidance in Subtopic 350-40 and the guidance on website development costs in Subtopic 350-50. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact of adoption on its financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements. This update will improve the navigability of required interim disclosures and clarify when that guidance is applicable, and will require entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The ASU is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard for the interim periods within the year ending December 31, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements. This update will make a number of amendments to the Accounting Standards Codification and improvements to GAAP arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Entities may elect to early adopt the amendments on an issue-by-issue basis. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact of adoption on its financial statements and related disclosures.
