Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 2. Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2023. Certain prior amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, the change in collaboration receivable presented within the condensed statement of cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, of $ 6.3 million was originally reported within the caption prepaid expense and current assets and has been separately presented in the comparative presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect loss from operations, total assets, cash used in operations or net loss. In 2011, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. In 2014, the Company established a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, and in 2021, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in the Netherlands. To date, there have been no material activities for these entities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the notes thereto are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023 . Since the date of filing, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies except as noted below. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant Risks and Uncertainties We are subject to challenges and risks specific to our business and our ability to execute on our strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of our late-stage product candidate; delays or problems in the supply of our products, loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; and the challenges of protecting and enhancing our intellectual property rights; complying with applicable regulatory requirements. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other accounting standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, we do not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on our consolidated statements or disclosures. |

Research And Development [Abstract] | |
Collaborative Research and License Agreements | Collaborative Research and License Agreements Incyte Collaboration In September 2021, the Company entered into the Incyte License and Collaboration Agreement, or the Incyte License, with Incyte covering the worldwide development and commercialization of axatilimab. Also in September 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Incyte, or the Incyte Share Purchase Agreement. These agreements are collectively referred to as the Incyte Agreements. Under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, Incyte received exclusive commercialization rights outside of the United States, subject to certain royalty payment obligations set forth below. In the United States, Incyte and the Company will co-commercialize axatilimab, with the Company having the right to co-promote axatilimab with Incyte, subject to the Company’s exercise of its co-promotion option. Incyte will be responsible for leading all aspects of the commercialization of axatilimab in the United States. The Company and Incyte will share equally the profits and losses from co-commercialization efforts in the United States. The Company and Incyte have agreed to co-develop axatilimab and to share development costs associated with global and U.S. – specific clinical trials, with Incyte responsible for 55 % of such costs and the Company responsible for 45 % of such costs. Each company will be responsible for funding any of its own independent development activities. Incyte is responsible for 100 % of future development costs for trials that are specific to ex-U.S. countries. All development costs related to the collaboration will be subject to a joint development plan. Under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, in December 2021, Incyte paid the Company a non-refundable cash payment of $ 117 million and the Company issued 1,421,523 shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $ 35 million, or $ 24.62 per share. Additionally, under the terms of the Incyte Agreements, the Company is eligible to receive up to $ 220 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones and up to $ 230 million in commercialization milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging in the mid-teens percentage on net sales of the licensed product comprising axatilimab in Europe and Japan and low double digit percentage in the rest of the world outside of the United States. The Company's right to receive royalties in any particular country will expire upon the last to occur of (a) the expiration of licensed patent rights covering the licensed product in that particular country, (b) a specified period of time after the first post - marketing authorization sale of a licensed product in that country, and (c) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for that licensed product in that country. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has recorded $ 3.5 million as a collaboration receivable due from Incyte related to the Company's development and pre-commercialization costs under the Agreement and has recorded approximately $ 2.1 million as a collaboration payable due to Incyte for development and pre-commercialization costs incurred by Incyte as of March 31, 2023 . Both expense and cost offset are recorded as part of research and development expense and general and administrative expense. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders | 5. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of the Company: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 (In thousands, except share and per Numerator—basic and diluted: Net loss $ ( 41,126 ) $ ( 37,169 ) Net loss attributable to common $ ( 41,126 ) $ ( 37,169 ) Net loss per share attributable to common $ ( 0.59 ) $ ( 0.63 ) Denominator—basic and diluted: Weighted-average number of common shares 69,438,890 58,978,615 The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to losses reported (in common stock equivalent shares): March 31, 2023 2022 Options to purchase common stock 9,536,312 8,419,541 Employee Stock Purchase Plan 15,331 10,805 Non-vested restricted stock units (RSUs) 392,288 256,583 For additional information related to the Company's common stock see Note 10. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Significant Agreements | 6. Significant Agreements Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In October 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Allergan License Agreement”) with Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Allergan (“Allergan”), under which Allergan granted the Company an exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide license to a portfolio of preclinical, orally available, small molecule inhibitors of the Menin–KMT2A binding interaction (the “Menin Assets”). Subject to the achievement of certain milestone events, the Company may be required to pay Allergan up to $ 99.0 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the Allergan License Agreement. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes the Menin Assets, the Company will also be obligated to pay Allergan low single to low double-digit royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $ 70.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of the Menin Assets. Each party may terminate the Allergan License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency, and the Company may terminate the Allergan License Agreement at any time upon advance written notice to Allergan. Allergan may terminate the Allergan License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the Allergan License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country. As of the date of the Allergan License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. Since the inception of the Allergan License Agreement, the Company achieved certain development and regulatory milestones, resulting in $ 8.0 million in expense, which includes $ 2.0 million paid in the first quarter of 2023. UCB Biopharma Sprl In 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “UCB License Agreement”), as amended from time to time, with UCB Biopharma Sprl (“UCB”), under which UCB granted to the Company a worldwide, sublicensable, exclusive license to UCB6352, which the Company refers to as axatilimab, an anti-CSF-1R monoclonal antibody. Subject to the achievement of certain milestone events, the Company may be required to pay UCB up to $ 119.5 million in one-time development and regulatory milestone payments over the term of the UCB License Agreement. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees commercializes axatilimab, the Company will also be obligated to pay UCB low double-digit royalties on sales, subject to reduction in certain circumstances, as well as up to an aggregate of $ 250.0 million in potential one-time, sales-based milestone payments based on achievement of certain annual sales thresholds. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to share a percentage of non-royalty income from sublicensees, subject to certain deductions, with UCB. The Company is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of axatilimab, except that UCB is performing a limited set of transitional chemistry, manufacturing and control tasks related to axatilimab. Each party may terminate the UCB License Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency, and the Company may terminate the UCB License Agreement at any time upon advance written notice to UCB. UCB may terminate the UCB License Agreement if the Company or any of its affiliates or sublicensees institutes a legal challenge to the validity, enforceability, or patentability of the licensed patent rights. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the UCB License Agreement will continue on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis until the later of: (i) the expiration of all of the licensed patent rights in such country; (ii) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity applicable to the product in such country; and (iii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of the product in such country. As of the date of the UCB License Agreement, the asset acquired had no alternative future use nor had it reached a stage of technological feasibility. As the processes or activities that were acquired along with the license do not constitute a “business,” the transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, in 2016, the upfront payment of $ 5.0 million was recorded as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Since the start of the license agreement, the Company achieved certain development and regulatory milestones and has recorded $ 6.0 million as research and development expense. Additionally, in connection with its most recent amendment of the UCB License Agreement, in the second quarter of 2022 the Company paid UCB $ 5.8 million, which is recognized as a milestone expense. Bayer Pharma AG (formerly known as Bayer Schering Pharma AG) In March 2007, the Company entered into a license agreement with Bayer Schering Pharma AG (“Bayer”) for a worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize entinostat and any other products containing the same active ingredient. The Company will pay Bayer royalties on a sliding scale based on net sales, if any, and make future milestone payments to Bayer of up to $ 150.0 million in the event that certain specified development and regulatory goals and sales levels are achieved. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 7. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are performed in a manner to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: Level 1— Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the market date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2— Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The table below presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are regularly measured and carried at fair value and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair values (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices Significant (unadjusted) Other Significant Total in Active Observable Unobservable Carrying Markets Inputs Inputs Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (In thousands) March 31, 2023 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 57,517 $ 57,517 $ — $ — Short-term investments 374,876 — 374,876 — Long-term investments 16,561 — 16,561 — Total assets $ 448,954 $ 57,517 $ 391,437 $ — December 31, 2022 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 74,356 $ 59,496 $ 14,860 $ — Short-term investments 401,446 — 401,446 — Long-term investments 5,469 — 5,469 — Total assets $ 481,271 $ 59,496 $ 421,775 $ — There have been no material impairments of our assets measured and carried at fair value during the period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. In addition, there have been no changes in valuation techniques during the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The fair value of Level 1 instruments classified as cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value of Level 2 instruments classified as cash equivalents and short and long–term investments are determined based on quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date with fair value being determined using models or other valuation methodologies. The Company's short and long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining contractual maturities of the available-for-sale securities were 1 to 15 months, and the balance in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss was comprised solely of activity related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities. There were no realized gains or losses recognized on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale securities, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. As a result, the Company did not reclassify any amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the same periods. The Company has a limited number of available-for-sale securities that are not in significant loss positions as of March 31, 2023, which the Company does not intend to sell, and it has concluded it will not be required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost for the investment at maturity.

Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the notes thereto are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023 . Since the date of filing, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies except as noted below. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
