Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, the consolidated results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, its statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s final prospectus that forms part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-238822), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on June 19, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2019 presented for comparative purposes was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Prospectus. Since the date of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Prospectus, there have been no changes to its significant accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accrued research and development expenses and share-based compensation. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 Pandemic

With the global spread of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020, the Company established a cross-functional task force and has implemented business continuity plans designed to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its employees and its business, including its preclinical studies and its ongoing and planned clinical trials. The Company’s operations are considered as an “essential business” and therefore, the Company is continuing to operate during this period. The Company has taken measures to secure its research and development activities, while work in its laboratories and facilities has been re-organized to reduce risk of COVID-19 transmission. While the Company is experiencing limited financial impacts at this time, given the global economic slowdown, the overall disruption of global healthcare systems and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The Company continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic as it evolves its business continuity plans, clinical development plans and response strategy. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update these estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s financial statements.
