Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Description of the Business | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Daré Bioscience, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to the acceleration of innovative products for women’s health. Daré Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries operate in one segment. In this report, the “Company” refers collectively to Daré Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. The Company is driven by a mission to identify, acquire and develop a diverse portfolio of differentiated therapies that expand treatment options, improve outcomes and facilitate convenience for women, primarily in the areas of contraception, fertility, and sexual and vaginal health. The Company's business strategy is to in-license or otherwise acquire the rights to differentiated product candidates in the Company's areas of focus, some of which have existing clinical proof-of-concept data, to take those candidates through mid- to late-stage clinical development, and to establish and leverage strategic partnerships to achieve commercialization. Since July 2017, the Company has assembled a portfolio of clinical-stage and pre-clinical-stage candidates. While the Company will continue to assess opportunities to expand its portfolio, its current focus is on advancing its existing product candidates through mid- and late-stages of clinical development or approval. The Company's portfolio includes three product candidates in advanced clinical development: • DARE - BV1 , a novel thermosetting bioadhesive hydrogel formulated with clindamycin phosphate 2% to be administered in a single vaginally delivered application , as a first line treatment for bacterial vaginosis; • Ovaprene® , a hormone-free, monthly vaginal contraceptive; and • Sildenafil Cream , 3 . 6% , a proprietary cream formulation of sildenafil for topical administration to the vulva and vagina for treatment of female sexual arousal disorder. The Company's portfolio also includes three product candidates in Phase 1 clinical development or that the Company believes are Phase 1-ready: • DARE - HRT1 , a combination bio-identical estradiol and progesterone intravaginal ring for the treatment of menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms, as part of a hormone replacement therapy , or HRT , following menopause; • DARE - FRT1 , an intravaginal ring containing bio-identical progesterone for the prevention of preterm birth and broader luteal phase support as part of an in vitro fertilization treatment plan; and • DARE - VVA1 , a vaginally delivered formulation of tamoxifen to treat vulvar vaginal atrophy , or VVA , in patients with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. The Company's portfolio also includes these pre-clinical stage product candidates: • DARE-LARC1 , a combination product designed to provide long-acting, reversible contraception comprising an implantable, user-controlled wireless drug delivery system and levonorgestrel; • ORB-204 and ORB-214 , injectable formulations of etonogestrel designed to provide contraception over 6-month and 12-month periods, respectively; and • DARE-RH1 , a novel approach to non - hormonal contraception for both men and women by targeting the CatSper ion channel . The Company’s primary operations have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist of, product research and development and advancing its portfolio of product candidates through clinical development and regulatory approval. The Company expects that the majority of its development expenses for the remainder of 2020 and in 2021 will support the advancement of DARE-BV1, Ovaprene, and Sildenafil Cream, 3.6%. To date, the Company has not obtained any regulatory approvals for any of its product candidates, commercialized any of its product candidates or generated any product revenue. The Company is subject to several risks common to clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies, including dependence on key employees as well as third-party licensors, partners and service providers, competition from other companies, the need to develop commercially viable products in a timely and cost-effective manner, and the need to obtain adequate additional capital to fund the development of product candidates. The Company is also subject to several risks common to other companies in the industry, including rapid technology change, regulatory approval of products, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, competition from substitute products and larger companies, compliance with government regulations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on third parties, and product liability. Going Concern The Company has prepared its interim consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a history of losses from operations, expects negative cash flows from operations will continue for the foreseeable future, and expects that its net losses will continue for at least the next several years as it develops its existing product candidates and seeks to acquire, license or develop additional product candidates. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $63.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.4 million. The Company also had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $16.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company is focused primarily on the development and commercialization of innovative products in women’s health. The Company will continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to these activities. If the clinical trials for any of the Company’s product candidates fail to produce successful results such that those product candidates do not advance in clinical development, then the Company’s business and prospects may suffer. Even if the product candidates advance in clinical development, they may fail to gain regulatory approval. Even if the product candidates are approved, they may fail to achieve market acceptance, and the Company may never become profitable. Even if the Company becomes profitable, it may not sustain profitability. Based on the Company's current operating plan estimates, the Company does not have sufficient cash to satisfy its working capital needs and other liquidity requirements over at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company needs to raise substantial additional capital to continue to fund its operations and to successfully execute its current operating plan, including to continue the planned development of DARE-BV1, Ovaprene, and Sildenafil Cream, 3.6%. The Company is currently evaluating a variety of capital raising options, including equity and debt financings, government or other grant funding, collaborations and strategic alliances or other similar types of arrangements to cover its operating expenses, including the development of its product candidates and any future product candidates it may license or otherwise acquire. The amount and timing of the Company's capital needs have been and will continue to depend highly on many factors, including the product development programs the Company chooses to pursue and the pace and results of its clinical development efforts. If the Company raises capital through collaborations, strategic alliances or other similar types of arrangements, it may have to relinquish, on terms that are not favorable to the Company, rights to some of its technologies or product candidates it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize. There can be no assurances that capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders. Additionally, equity or debt financings may have a dilutive effect on the holdings of the Company's existing stockholders. If the Company cannot raise capital when needed, on favorable terms or at all, the Company will not be able to continue development of its product candidates, will need to reevaluate its planned operations and may need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs, reduce expenses, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations. If the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may have to liquidate its assets, and might realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on its consolidated financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in the Company's common stock. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use, or ROU, lease assets, current portion of lease obligations, and long-term lease obligations on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. ROU lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. If the lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU lease asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and the related payments are only included in the lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (See Note 7, Leased Properties.) Fair Value Measurements GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques established to measure fair value is defined as follows: • Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of 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 following tables present the classification within the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There were no financial assets or liabilities that were remeasured using a quoted price in active markets for identical assets (Level 2) as of September 30, 2020. Fair Value Measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Balance at September 30, 2020 Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,389,414 $ — $ — $ 5,389,414 Current liabilities: Current portion of contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Balance at December 31, 2019 Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,780,107 $ — $ — $ 4,780,107 Other non-current liabilities: Contingent consideration, net of current portion $ — $ — $ 1,000,000 $ 1,000,000 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue is accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services agreed upon within each contract and assess whether each good or service is distinct and determine those that are performance obligations. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. In a contract with multiple performance obligations, the Company develops estimates and assumptions that require judgment to determine the underlying stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, which determines how the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations. The estimation of the stand-alone selling price(s) may include estimates regarding forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. The Company evaluates each performance obligation to determine if it can be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Any change made to estimated progress towards completion of a performance obligation and, therefore, revenue recognized will be recorded as a change in estimate. In addition, variable consideration must be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price. License Fees. If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in a contract, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, upfront fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. To date, the Company has not recognized any license fee revenue resulting from any of its collaborative arrangements. Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty revenue resulting from any of its collaborative arrangements. Bayer License. In January 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with Bayer HealthCare LLC, or Bayer, regarding the further development and commercialization of Ovaprene in the U.S. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received a $1.0 million upfront non-refundable license fee payment from Bayer. Bayer, in its sole discretion, has the right to make the license effective by paying the Company an additional $20.0 million. The Company concluded that there was one significant performance obligation related to the $1.0 million upfront payment: a distinct license to commercialize Ovaprene effective upon the receipt of the $20.0 million fee. The $1.0 million upfront payment will be recorded as license revenue at the earlier of (1) the point in time the Company receives the $20.0 million fee, the license is transferred to Bayer and Bayer is able to use and benefit from the license and (2) the termination of the agreement. As of September 30, 2020, neither of the foregoing had occurred. The $1.0 million payment is recorded as long term deferred revenue in the Company's consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020. The Company will also be entitled to receive (a) milestone payments totaling up to $310.0 million related to the commercial sales of Ovaprene, if all such milestones are achieved, and (b) tiered royalties starting in the low double digits based on annual net sales of Ovaprene during a calendar year, subject to customary royalty reductions and offsets, and (c) a percentage of sublicense revenue. Potential future payments for variable consideration, such as commercial milestones, will be recognized when it is probable that, if recorded, a significant reversal will not take place. Potential future royalty payments will be recorded as revenue when the associated sales occur. (See Note 3, License and Collaboration Agreements.) |

If Bayer pays an additional $20.0 million to the Company after Bayer receives and reviews the results of the pivotal clinical trial of Ovaprene, which payment Bayer may elect to make in its sole discretion, the license grant to Bayer to develop and commercialize Ovaprene for human contraception in the U.S. becomes effective. Milestone & Royalty Payments . The Company will be entitled to receive (a) a milestone payment in the low double-digit millions upon the first commercial sale of Ovaprene in the U.S. and escalating milestone payments based on annual net sales of Ovaprene during a calendar year, totaling up to $310.0 million if all such milestones, including the first commercial sale, are achieved, (b) tiered royalties starting in the low double digits based on annual net sales of Ovaprene during a calendar year, subject to customary royalty reductions and offsets, and (c) a percentage of sublicense revenue. Efforts. The Company is responsible for the pivotal trial for Ovaprene and for its development and regulatory activities and has product supply obligations. Bayer is supporting the Company in development and regulatory activities by providing up to two full-time equivalents with expertise in clinical, regulatory, preclinical, commercial, CMC and product supply matters in an advisory capacity. After payment of the $20.0 million fee, Bayer will be responsible for the commercialization of Ovaprene for human contraception in the U.S. Term.

Acquisition | ACQUISITION In November 2019, the Company acquired Microchips Biotech, Inc., or Microchips, via a merger transaction in which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, formed for purposes of this transaction, merged with and into Microchips , and Microchips survived as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Microchips is developing a proprietary, implantable drug delivery system designed to store and precisely deliver numerous therapeutic doses over months and years on a schedule determined by the user and controlled via wireless remote. Microchips’ lead product candidate is a pre-clinical stage contraceptive application of that technology that utilizes levonorgestrel, now known as DARE-LARC1. The Company issued an aggregate of 2,999,990 shares of its common stock to the holders of shares of Microchips' capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The transaction was valued at $2.4 million, based on the fair value of the 2,999,990 shares issued of $0.79 per share, which was the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date of closing. The shares were issued in exchange for Microchips’ cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million, less net liabilities of $3.5 million and transaction costs of $202,000, which was allocated based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company also agreed to pay certain contingent consideration payments, tiered royalty payments and a percentage of sublicense revenue as discussed in Note 3, Acquired Products—Microchips Acquisition, above. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The 2015 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan In connection with the business combination transaction in July 2017 between the Company and Daré Bioscience Operations, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation, or Private Daré, the Company assumed the Private Daré 2015 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Private Daré Plan and each then outstanding award granted thereunder, which consisted of options and restricted stock. Based on the exchange ratio for the business combination transaction and after giving effect to the reverse stock split effected in connection with the closing of that transaction, the outstanding options and restricted stock awards granted under the 2015 Private Daré Plan were replaced with options to purchase 10,149 shares of the Company’s common stock with a correspondingly adjusted exercise price and 223,295 shares of the Company’s common stock. All of the options that were assumed were exercised as of September 30, 2020. No awards may be granted under the 2015 Private Daré Plan following the closing of the business combination transaction. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, became effective in April 2014, but no offering period has been initiated thereunder since January 2017 and there was no stock-based compensation related to the ESPP for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or September 30, 2019. Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, or the Amended 2014 Plan, which provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, officers and directors, and consultants and advisors. There were 2,046,885 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Amended 2014 Plan when it was approved by the Company's stockholders in July 2018. The number of authorized shares increases annually on the first day of each fiscal year until, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 by the least of (i) 2,000,000, (ii) 4% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock on such date, or (iii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. On January 1, 2020, the number of authorized shares increased by 787,336 to 1,411,481, which increase represented 4% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock on such date. Summary of Stock Option Activity The table below summarizes stock option activity under the Amended 2014 Plan, and related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The exercise price of all options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2020, unamortized stock-based compensation expense of $1,493,686 will be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.37 years.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY ATM Sales Agreement In January 2018, the Company entered into a common stock sales agreement under which the Company may sell shares of its common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). The Company will pay a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds of any common stock sold under this agreement plus certain legal expenses. The common stock sales agreement was amended in August 2018 to refer to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227019) that was filed to replace the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-206396) that expired on August 28, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 1,952,512 shares under the common stock sales agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $2.4 million and incurred offering expenses of approximately $82,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 7,916,092 shares under the common stock sales agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $10.8 million and incurred offering expenses of approximately $420,000. The Company did not sell any shares under this agreement during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019. April 2019 Underwritten Public Offering In April 2019, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 4,575,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $1.10 per share. The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 686,250 shares which was exercised in full on April 12, 2019. Including the over-allotment shares, the Company issued a total of 5,261,250 shares in the underwritten public offering and received gross proceeds of approximately $5.8 million and net proceeds of approximately $5.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Equity Line On April 22, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, and a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $15.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Such sales of common stock by the Company may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, subject to certain limitations, until May 19, 2023. On April 22, 2020, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 285,714 shares of its common stock, or the Commitment Shares, to Lincoln Park in consideration for its commitment to purchase shares under the Purchase Agreement. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-237954) to register the resale by Lincoln Park of up to 7.5 million shares of the Company's common stock issued or issuable to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, including the Commitment Shares, and such registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 12, 2020. The Company incurred legal, accounting, and other fees related to the Purchase Agreement of approximately $374,000. These costs are amortized and expensed as shares are sold under the Purchase Agreement and as of September 30, 2020 there was approximately $269,000 of unamortized costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold, and Lincoln Park purchased, 3.0 million shares under the Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and incurred offering expenses of approximately $83,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold, and Lincoln Park purchased, 3,882,160 shares under the Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million and incurred offering expenses of approximately $105,000. Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day until May 19, 2023, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock, each, a Regular Purchase. The Company may increase the share amount it directs Lincoln Park to purchase under a Regular Purchase to up to 250,000 shares or up to 300,000 shares if the closing sale price of the Company's common stock is not below $1.50 or $3.00, respectively, on the business day on which the Company initiates the purchase, subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement. However, Lincoln Park’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1.0 million. The purchase price per share for each Regular Purchase will be the lower of (i) the lowest sale price of the Company's common stock on the business day on which the Company initiates the purchase and (ii) the average of the three lowest closing sale prices of the Company's common stock during the 10-business day period immediately preceding the business day on which the Company initiates the purchase. In addition to Regular Purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts of common stock as accelerated purchases and as additional accelerated purchases, subject to limits specified in the Purchase Agreement, at a purchase price per share calculated as specified in the Purchase Agreement, but in no case lower than the minimum price per share the Company stipulates in its notice to Lincoln Park initiating these purchases. In addition, under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company may not issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement more than 4,941,089 shares of its common stock, or the Exchange Cap, unless (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of the Company's common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $1.0117 (which represents the closing sale price per share of the Company's common stock on the day before the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement, plus an incremental amount). In addition, the Company may not sell shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement if such sale would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding shares of common stock. Common Stock Warrants In February 2018, the Company closed an underwritten public offering in connection with which the Company issued to the investors in that offering warrants that initially had an exercise price of $3.00 per share and are exercisable through February 2023. The warrants include a price-based anti-dilution provision, which provides that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced each time the Company issues or sells (or is deemed to issue or sell) securities for a net consideration per share less than the exercise price of those warrants in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if the Company issues, sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell securities at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the shares of the Company’s common stock, the warrant holders have the right to substitute such variable price for the exercise price of the warrant then in effect. These warrants are exercisable only for cash, unless a registration statement covering the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants is not effective, in which case the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. A registration statement covering the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants is currently effective. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants as of February 15, 2018 to be approximately $3.0 million which has been recorded in equity as of the grant date. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-11 as of January 1, 2018 and recorded the fair value of the warrants as equity. In April 2019 and July 2020, in accordance with the price-based anti-dilution provision discussed above, the exercise price of these warrants was automatically reduced to $0.98 per share and to $0.96 per share, respectively, and as a result of the triggering of the anti-dilution provision, $0.8 million and $6,863, respectively, was recorded to additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 126,000 shares of common stock were exercised for gross proceeds of approximately $121,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,825,000 shares of common stock were exercised for gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million. No warrants were exercised during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had the following warrants outstanding: Shares Underlying Exercise Price Expiration Date 2,906 $ 120.40 2021-12-01 3,737 $ 120.40 2021-12-06 6,500 $ 10.00 2026-04-04 1,895,500 $ 0.96 2023-02-15 1,908,643 |

Leased Properties | LEASED PROPERTIES The Company's lease for its corporate headquarters (3,169 square feet of office space) commenced on July 1, 2018 and terminates on July 31, 2021. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for one year. Microchips, which the Company acquired in November 2019, leases general office space in Lexington, Massachusetts and warehouse space in Billerica, Massachusetts. The Lexington lease commenced on July 1, 2013 and terminates on September 30, 2021. The Billerica lease commenced on October 1, 2016 and terminates on March 31, 2022. Under the terms of each lease, the lessee pays base annual rent (subject to an annual fixed percentage increase), plus property taxes, and other normal and necessary expenses, such as utilities, repairs, and maintenance. The Company evaluates renewal options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis and includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its expected lease terms when classifying leases and measuring lease liabilities. The leases do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The leases do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease within a particular currency environment. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate of 7% for operating leases that commenced prior to January 2019. The depreciable lives of operating leases and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. At September 30, 2020, the Company reported operating lease ROU assets of approximately $306,000 in other non-current assets, and $410,000 and $83,000, respectively, in current and non-current other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Total operating lease costs were approximately $76,000 and $27,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and $228,000 and $81,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Operating lease costs consist of monthly lease payments expense, common area maintenance and other repair and maintenance costs and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were approximately $111,000 and $28,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and $349,000 and $81,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. These amounts are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, at September 30, 2020, operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 1.14 years. As of September 30, 2020, future minimum payments under the Company's operating leases are approximately: Remainder of 2020 $ 112,000 2021 363,000 2022 42,000 Total future minimum lease payments 517,000 Less: Difference between future minimum lease payments and discounted operating lease liabilities 24,000 Total operating lease liabilities $ 493,000 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingent Consideration In connection with the acquisition of Microchips, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration based upon the achievement of specified funding, product development and regulatory milestones. The Company recorded $1.0 million in contingent consideration liability associated with milestone payments expected to become payable in the first half of 2021 in its consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020. Note Payable In April 2020, due to the economic uncertainty resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations and to support its ongoing operations and retain all employees, the Company applied for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The Company received a loan of approximately $367,000. The loan matures in April 2022, bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, is payable in equal monthly payments commencing in November 2020 through maturity and may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the PPP, the loan proceeds could be used for "qualifying expenses" and, subject to specified limitations in the CARES Act and under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan, including accrued interest, may be forgiven if used for qualifying expenses. Qualifying expenses include payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage interest payments, rent payments, utility payments, and interest payments on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. In September 2020, the Company submitted its forgiveness application. The Company used the entire amount of the loan for payroll and rent costs, which the Company believes are expenses that constitute qualifying expenses, and the Company requested that the entire amount of the loan, including accrued interest, be forgiven. There can be no assurance that the loan will be forgiven, in whole or in part. Under current SBA guidance, it may take up to 90 days from the date the Company's loan forgiveness application is submitted to the SBA by the Company's lender for the SBA to make a determination with respect to the Company's loan forgiveness application . The Company recorded a note payable plus accrued interest for the loan in the amount of approximately $369,000 in its consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020. |

Grant Award | GRANT AWARD NIH Grant Funding The Company has received notices of awards and grant funding from the National Institutes of Health, or the NIH to support the development of Ovaprene and DARE-FRT1. The NIH issues notices of awards to the Company for a specified amount, and the Company must incur and track expenses eligible for reimbursement under the award and submit a detailed accounting of such expenses to receive payment. If the Company receives payments under the award, the amounts of such payments are recognized in the statement of operations as a reduction to research and development activities as the related costs are incurred to meet those obligations over the period. Ovaprene Since 2018, the Company has received approximately $1.9 million of grant funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, a division of the NIH, for clinical development efforts supporting Ovaprene. The most recent and final notice of award the Company received was for approximately $731,000 in April 2020, substantially all of which has been funded to date. The Company recorded credits to research and development expense for costs related to the NIH award of approximately $124,000 and $302,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and $583,000 and $920,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a receivable of approximately $69,000 for expenses incurred through such date that it believes are eligible for reimbursement under the final notice of award received in April 2020. DARE-FRT1 In August 2020, the Company received a notice of award of a grant from the NIH to support the development of DARE-FRT1. The award in the amount of $300,000 was for what is referred to as the "Phase I" segment of the project outlined in the Company's grant application, which is to occur during the period of August 2020 through July 2021. Additional potential funding of up to approximately $2.0 million for the "Phase II" segment of the project outlined in the grant application is contingent upon satisfying specified requirements, including, assessment of the results of the Phase I segment, determination that the Phase I goals were achieved, and availability of funds. There is no guarantee the Company will receive any Phase II award. The Company recorded credits to research and development expense for costs related to the NIH award of approximately $3,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a receivable of approximately $3,000 for expenses incurred through such date that it believes are eligible for reimbursement under the grant. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Microchips, has a grant agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, or the Foundation, relating to the development of the pre-clinical stage contraceptive candidate, DARE-LARC1. Expenses eligible for grant funding must be incurred, tracked and reported to the Foundation. Microchips received grant funding payments of approximately $2.9 million in July 2019, $1.6 million in June 2020 and $899,000 in September 2020. At September 30, 2020, grant funding payments associated with research and development expenses for DARE-LARC1 not yet incurred totaled approximately $2.2 million and are recorded as deferred grant funding liability in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | NET LOSS PER SHARE The Company computes basic net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities (common share equivalents) outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents outstanding, determined using the treasury stock method, are comprised of shares that may be issued under outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from diluted net loss per common share for the period indicated because of their anti-dilutive effect: Potentially dilutive securities Three Months Ended 2020 2019 Stock options 2,783,591 1,824,975 Warrants 1,908,643 3,750,833 Total 4,692,234 5,575,808 |

Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use, or ROU, lease assets, current portion of lease obligations, and long-term lease obligations on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques established to measure fair value is defined as follows: • Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of 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. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue is accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services agreed upon within each contract and assess whether each good or service is distinct and determine those that are performance obligations. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. In a contract with multiple performance obligations, the Company develops estimates and assumptions that require judgment to determine the underlying stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, which determines how the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations. The estimation of the stand-alone selling price(s) may include estimates regarding forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. The Company evaluates each performance obligation to determine if it can be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Any change made to estimated progress towards completion of a performance obligation and, therefore, revenue recognized will be recorded as a change in estimate. In addition, variable consideration must be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price. License Fees. If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in a contract, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, upfront fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. To date, the Company has not recognized any license fee revenue resulting from any of its collaborative arrangements. Royalties. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty revenue resulting from any of its collaborative arrangements. |
