Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oxis Biotech, Inc. and Georgetown Translational Pharmaceuticals, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and its results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results. Liquidity The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumptions contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $2.2 million and used cash in operations of $4.8 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a cash and short-term investments balance of $18.0 million, working capital of $13.2 million, and stockholders’ equity of $11.8 million. Management anticipates that the $18.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments are adequate to satisfy the liquidity needs of the Company for at least one year from the date the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 were issued. Historically, the Company has financed its operations through public and private sales of common stock, issuance of preferred and common stock, issuance of convertible debt instruments, and strategic collaborations. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms. In the event the Company does not generate sufficient cash flows from investing and financing activities, the Company will be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of its discretionary spending, which could adversely affect the Company’s business prospects, ability to meet long-term liquidity needs or ability to continue its operations. COVID-19 The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to present uncertainty and unforeseeable risks to our operations and business plans. The Company has closely monitored recent developments, including the lifting of COVID-19 safety measures, the spread of new strains or variants of the coronavirus (such as the Delta and Omicron variants), and supply chain, raw materials and labor shortages. Thus, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business and operations remains uncertain and will vary depending on the pandemic’s future impact on the third parties with whom the Company does business, as well as any legal or regulatory consequences resulting therefrom. The Company has been following the recommendations of health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members and may take further actions that alter our operations, including any required by federal, state or local authorities, or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees and other third parties with whom GT Biopharma does business. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions used in deriving the fair value of warrant liabilities, valuation of equity instruments issued for services and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition as cash equivalents in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Total cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds, totaled approximately $2.4 million and $5.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also invested its excess cash in commercial paper and corporate notes and bonds. Management generally determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase. We classify these investments as short-term investments as part of current assets, based upon our ability and intent to use any and all of these investments as necessary to satisfy liquidity requirements that may arise from our business. Investments are carried at fair value with the unrealized holding gains and losses reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total short-term investments totaled approximately $15.2 million and $10.8 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10 requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. ASC 820-10 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1 | Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
| Level 2 | Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
| Level 3 | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amount of the Company’s warrant liability of $1.5 million and $19 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, was based on Level 3 measurements. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities such as cash, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Derivatives and Liability-Classified Instruments The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and the guidance provided by the FASB in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. The fair value of the warrant liability is determined using a Binomial valuation method at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based awards to employees, nonemployees, and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at fair value on the grant date and that fair value is recognized as expense over the requisite service or vesting period. The Company values its equity awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, and a risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates volatility using its own historical stock price volatility. The expected term of the instrument is estimated by using the simplified method to estimate expected term. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using comparable published federal funds rates. Research and Development Costs Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. The salaries, benefits, and overhead costs of personnel conducting research and development of the Company’s products are included in research and development costs. Purchased materials that do not have an alternative future use are also expensed. Leases The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with the guidance of ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments (see Note 8 – Operating Leases for the Company’s lease disclosures). Net Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock issuable is included in our calculation as of the date of the underlying agreement. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which primarily consist of stock issuable for the exercise of stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive. These following common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of the net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive: Schedule of Anti-dilutive Securities

Concentration Cash is deposited in one financial institution. The balances held at this financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250. From time to time, however, the Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in bank accounts in excess of the FDIC limit. To minimize the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions. The Company has a significant concentration of expenses incurred and accounts payable from a single vendor (see Note 4 – Accounts Payable for further information). Segments The Company determined its reporting units in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). Management evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its’ operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. Management has determined that the Company has one consolidated operating segment. The Company’s reporting segment reflects the manner in which its chief operating decision maker reviews results and allocates resources. The Company’s reporting segment meets the definition of an operating segment and does not include the aggregation of multiple operating segments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023 and there was no material impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, applied prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-04 using a prospective approach. It did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
