Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a company-wide basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment. The Company has concluded that net income (loss) is the measure of segment profitability. The CODM assesses performance for the Company, monitors budget versus actual results and determines how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) as reported in the statements of operations. There are no other expense categories regularly provided to the CODM that are not already included in the financial statements herein. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not generate material international revenues and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have material assets located outside of the United States.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Net Loss Per Share In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, shares issuable for little or no cash consideration are considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per share. As such, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company included pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock in its computation of net loss per share. The pre-funded warrants were issued in March 2024 and November 2019 with an exercise price of $0.001. See Note 7. In periods with a net loss, no common share equivalents are included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to 1,287,558 and 1,763,733 shares, respectively, and exclude pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
