Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business Curis, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the development of emavusertib (CA-4948), an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase, or IRAK4. Throughout these Consolidated Financial Statements, Curis, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Curis”. The Company is party to a collaboration agreement with Genentech Inc. (“Genentech”), a member of the Roche Group, under which Genentech and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (“Roche”) are commercializing Erivedge® (vismodegib), a first-in-class orally administered small molecule Hedgehog signaling pathway antagonist. Erivedge is approved for the treatment of advanced basal cell carcinoma (“BCC”). The Company is party to an exclusive collaboration agreement with Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited (“Aurigene”) for the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule compounds in the areas of immuno-oncology and precision oncology, including emavusertib. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry as well as risks that are specific to the Company’s business, including, but not limited to: the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to fund its operations; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s ability to advance and expand its research and development program for emavusertib; the Company’s ability to execute on its overall business strategies; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property protection; development by the Company’s competitors of new or better technological innovations; the Company’s ability to comply with regulatory requirements; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain applicable regulatory approvals and commercialize any approved drug candidates; and the ability of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Curis Royalty, LLC (“Curis Royalty”), to satisfy the terms of the royalty interest purchase agreement (the “Oberland Purchase Agreement”) with TPC Investments I LP and TPC Investments II LP (the “Purchasers”), each of which is a Delaware limited partnership managed by Oberland Capital Management, LLC, and Lind SA LLC (the “Agent”), a Delaware limited liability company managed by Oberland Capital Management, LLC, as collateral agent for the Purchasers. The Company’s future operating results will largely depend on the progress of emavusertib and the magnitude of payments that it may receive and make under its current and potential future collaborations. The results of the Company’s operations have varied and will likely continue to vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter and depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the timing, outcome and cost of the Company’s preclinical studies and clinical trials for its drug candidate. The Company will require substantial funds in the immediate term to maintain its research and development program and support operations. The Company has incurred losses and cash outflows from operations since its inception. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2024 and incurred a net loss of $43.4 million and used $39.6 million of cash in operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has concluded there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Based on the Company's $20.0 million of existing cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024, recurring losses and cash outflows from operations since inception, an expectation of continuing losses and cash outflows from operations for the foreseeable future and the need to raise additional capital to finance the Company's future operations, the Company concluded it does not have sufficient cash on hand to support current operations within the next 12 months from the date of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
