Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | Note 1. Nature of Business Tyme Technologies, Inc. (“Tyme Tech”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, NY, with wholly owned subsidiaries, Tyme Inc. and Luminant Biosciences, LLC (“Luminant”) (collectively, “TYME” or the “Company”). Prior to 2014, Luminant conducted the initial research and development of the Company’s therapeutic platform. Since January 1, 2014, the majority of the Company’s research, development and other business activities have been conducted by Tyme Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 2013. TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing cancer metabolism-based therapies (CMBTs TM The Company’s lead clinical CMBT program, SM-88 (racemetyrosine), is a novel, oral, monotherapy investigational agent that has been studied in clinical trials for over five years within more than 150 cancer patients. TYME recently completed enrollment for two Phase II clinical trials in prostate and pancreatic cancer, and the Company is preparing for pivotal studies for SM-88 in pancreatic cancer during the second half of calendar year 2019. One of these pivotal trials is focused on patients with third-line pancreatic cancer and would be an amendment to the ongoing TYME-88-Panc trial (Part 2). The Company has also partnered with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (“PanCAN”) to study SM-88 in an adaptive pivotal trial known as Precision Promise SM The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Tyme Tech and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Liquidity The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity offerings. During fiscal year 2019, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $5.8 million through the issuance of its common stock. Most recently in April 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of $11.3 million after underwriting discounts and before expenses through an underwritten registered offering. Previously on November 2, 2017, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (“Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (“Canaccord”), to commence an at-the-market offering (the “ATM Financing Facility”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, subject to certain rules and regulations, sell shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price up to $30.0 million, through Canaccord, as the Company’s sales agent. In the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company raised approximately $5.8 million in aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and expenses through the ATM Financing Facility and paid Canaccord aggregate commissions of $0.2 million. At March 31, 2019, there remained approximately $17.9 million of availability to sell shares through the facility. The proceeds of those offerings are being used by the Company for continued clinical studies, drug commercialization and development activities and other general corporate and operating expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $20.1 million and net loss of $33.0 million, which included $10.2 million of non-cash expenses, primarily non-cash equity compensation and warrant modification expense. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of approximately $9.8 million. Management has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they come due during the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financial statements. This conclusion is based on the Company’s assessment of qualitative and quantitative conditions and events, considered in aggregate as of the date of issuance of these financial statements that are known and reasonably knowable. Among other relevant conditions and events, the Company has considered its operational plans, liquidity sources, obligations due or expected, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations, and potential adverse conditions or events as of the issuance date of these financial statements. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Tech and its subsidiaries, Tyme, Inc. and Luminant. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimation include the calculation of the stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $14.3 million at March 31, 2019 and $29.0 million at March 31, 2018. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited with major banks and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company exceeded the FDIC limit of $250,000 by $14.0 million at March 31, 2019 and $28.7 million at March 31, 2018. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates fair value given their short-term nature. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of the derivative liability is discussed below. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (observable inputs) and the lowest priority to the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Fair value measurements should be disclosed separately by level within the fair value hierarchy. For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with established fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data are based primarily upon estimates, and often are calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as assets held for sale and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 — 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 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 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. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The Company had no assets or liabilities classified as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in any of the periods reported. The changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities for the year ended March 31, 2018 are as follows: Fair value at March 31, 2017 $ 378,600 Fair value of liability-classified anti-dilution feature 11,785 Change in fair value of derivative liability (390,385 ) Fair value at March 31, 2018 $ — Prepaid and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses represent expenditures made in advance of when the economic benefit of the cost will be realized, and which will be expensed in future periods with the passage of time. Prepaid and other current assets includes $0.6 million and $0.5 million of prepaid insurance as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company estimates a life of five to seven years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include fixed assets, whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If indicators of impairment exist, projected future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to its carrying amount to determine whether the asset’s value is recoverable. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operating results. For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined that there were no triggering events requiring an impairment analysis. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of, but not limited to, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and consultants that conduct clinical and preclinical studies, costs associated with preclinical and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations, depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities and employee related expenses, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical studies, are accrued, over the service period specified in the contract and recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to us by our vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as prepaid or accrued expense. Income Taxes Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States, for federal and various state jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the income tax expense. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when, after consideration of available positive and negative evidence that it is not more likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax assets will be realizable. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions. ASC 740 “Income Taxes” states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. When and if the Company were to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, they would be reported in tax expense. Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. Derivative Liabilities Accounting standards require presentation of derivative liabilities at fair value. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any change in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as a component of other income or expense. Derivative Liability - PPO The Company had recorded a derivative liability related to an anti-dilution provision as part of a 2014 financing agreement. That anti-dilution provision was determined to be a freestanding financial instrument that was carried as a liability at fair value of $0.4 million. During the year ended March 31, 2018 the anti-dilution provision expired without the triggering of any such protection. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2018 and thereafter, there was no fair value of the derivative liability . Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earning per Share.” Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Company common stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. During the periods presented, the calculation excludes any potential dilutive common shares and any equivalents as they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses for the periods then ended. Stock-based Compensation The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock-based compensation in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The guidance requires that stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period as services are being provided. (See Note 11, Equity Incentive Plan.) The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected The Company accounted for stock-based awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payment to Non-Employees” and accordingly the fair value of the stock options granted to non-employees was remeasured each reporting period until the earlier of: a) the performance commitment date, or b) the date the services required under the arrangement have been completed and the resulting increase or decrease in value, if any, was recognized as expense or income, respectively, during the period the related services are rendered. Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and, as such, the fair value options granted to non-employees is estimated at the date of grant only. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments made to nonemployees so that the accounting for such payments is substantially the same as those made to employees, with certain exceptions. Under this ASU, equity-classified share based awards to nonemployees will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards, entities will need to assess the probability of satisfying performance conditions if any are present, and awards will continue to be classified according to ASC 718 upon vesting which eliminates the need to reassess classification upon vesting, consistent with awards granted to employees, unless the award is modified after the service has been rendered, any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied, and the nonemployee is no longer providing services. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-07 effective July 1, 2018. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting In February 2017, the FASB issued Update No. 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, amending Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) |

Stockholders' Equity | Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001. Shares of Company preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and/or classes, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) prior to the issuance of any shares of such series or class. The Company preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited or no voting powers and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series or class of Company preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Company’s Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. No shares of Company preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding and the Company’s board of directors has not designated any class or series of Company preferred stock for use in the future. Common Stock Voting Each holder of Company common stock is entitled to one vote for each share thereof held by such holder at all meetings of stockholders (and written action in lieu of meetings). The number of authorized shares of Company common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of majority of the combined number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Dividends Dividends may be declared and paid on the Company common stock from funds lawfully available therefore, as and when determined by the Board. Liquidation In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, holders of Company common stock will be entitled to receive all assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders. March 2017 PPO On March 10, 2017, the Company raised $9.2 million in gross proceeds through a private placement (“March 2017 Private Placement”) of 3,588,620 shares of our common stock and 3,588,620 common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $3.00 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment. The warrants expire two years from the date of issuance and vest immediately. On March 15, 2019, the Board extended the expiration date of the 3,245,288 outstanding warrants through September 30, 2019. April 2017 PPO In April 2017, the Company raised $2.7 million in gross proceeds through a private placement (“April 2017 Private Placement”) of 1,069,603 shares of common stock and 1,069,603 common stock purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $3.00 per Warrant Share. The warrants expire two years from the date of issuance and vest immediately. On March 15, 2019, the Board extended the expiration date of the 238,233 outstanding warrants through September 30, 2019. The Company considers the extensions to be a modification of the March 2017 Private Placement and April 2017 Private Placement warrants. The Company recognized a warrant modification expense of $1.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2019, which represents the incremental value of the modified warrant as compared to the original warrant, both valued on the modification dates which is reflected in warrant modification expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of the modification using the following assumptions: (a) fair value of common stock $2.31, (b) expected life of 1 and At March 31, 2019, 4,469,836 common stock purchase warrants relating to securities purchase agreements were outstanding and exercisable. The following summarizes the common stock warrant activity for the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018: Warrant Shares of Common Stock Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at March 31, 2017 4,526,271 $ 3.42 Granted 1,069,603 3.00 Exercised (10,000 ) 3.00 Cancelled — — Outstanding at March 31, 2018 5,585,874 3.34 Granted — — Exercised (1,086,271 ) 3.00 Cancelled — — Outstanding at March 31, 2019 4,499,603 $ 3.42 During the year ended March 31, 2019, 1,086,271 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 235,685 shares. At-the-Market Financing Facility On November 2, 2017, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (“Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (“Canaccord”), to commence an at-the-market offering (the “ATM Financing Facility”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, subject to certain rules and regulations, sell shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price up to $30 million, through Canaccord, as the Company’s sales agent. In the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company raised approximately $6.2 million in gross proceeds through the ATM via sale of 1,543,364 of our common stock. The Company incurred $0.3 million of related costs which offset the proceeds. In the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company raised approximately $5.8 million in gross proceeds through the ATM via sale of 2,383,884 shares of our common stock. The Company incurred $0.2 million of related costs which offset the proceeds. At March 31, 2019, there remained approximately $17.9 million of availability to sell shares through the facility. Under the ATM Financing Facility, the Company is not required to issue the full available amount authorized and it may be cancelled at any time. Public Offering In March 2018, we raised approximately $23.3 million in gross proceeds through a public offering of 10,350,000 shares of our common stock.

Equity Incentive Plan | Note 11. Equity Incentive Plan. On March 5, 2015, the Company’s Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved, the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). No more than an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of common stock may be awarded during the twelve month period starting March 5 of each succeeding year. Awards under the 2015 Plan may include, but need not be limited to, one or more of the following: options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance grants, stock bonuses, and any other type of award deemed by the administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the 2015 Plan. The exercise price of all options awarded under the 2015 Plan must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company common stock as determined on the date of the grant and have a term of no greater than ten years from the date of grant. In February 2018, the 2015 Plan was amended making available 12.5% of shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of March 31, 2019, there were 5,262,531 shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan. On August 23, 2018 the stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2016 Director Plan”), which: (i) increased the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2016 Director Plan by 2,000,000 shares to 2,750,000 shares: (ii) made “Initial Grants” upon a director’s initial appointment to the Board consisting of an immediate stock option grant of 100,000 shares at fair market value; and (iii) made “Annual Grants” for members who continue in service as members of the Board subsequent to each annual meeting of stockholders occurring subsequent to an Initial Grant, an annual stock option grant of 50,000 shares at fair market value. The Initial Grants and Annual Grants have a ten year term, subject to applicable termination or forfeiture provisions, and vest in equal quarterly increments over a one-year period from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2019, there were 1,425,150 shares available for grant under the 2016 Director Plan. Stock Options As of March 31, 2019, and 2018, there was approximately $7.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation related to non-vested stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average remaining service period of 1.2 years. During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had stock compensation expense of $9.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2019, stock compensation expense is recognized as $5.7 million in general and administrative expense, $2.9 million in research and development expense, and $0.4 million in severance expense. For the year ended March 31, 2018, stock compensation expense has been recognized as $4.1 million in general and administrative expense and $3.6 million in research and development expense. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. In accordance with ASC 718, the compensation expense for employees and non-employees is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which approximates the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating forfeitures as of an award’s grant date. The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using the method described under ASC 718 using the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected term of options granted to employees and directors in the current fiscal period has been based on the term by using the simplified “plain-vanilla” method as allowed under SAB No. 110. The expected term of options granted to non-employees and consultants is based on the grant’s full contractual life. The Company considered other methods to estimate expected term other than the simplified method. However, as noted above, there is no historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded and no other refined estimate of expected life that is appropriate. The assumptions utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options granted are presented in the following table: Year Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Risk free interest rate 2.24%-3.10% 1.74%-2.70% Expected volatility 71.86%-76.31% 65.95%-90.32% Expected term 3-6.5 years 1-10 years Dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s stock options under the 2015 Plan and 2016 Director Plan as of March 31, 2019: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at March 31, 2018 5,438,072 $ 5.11 Granted 3,693,233 2.66 Exercised (100,000 ) 2.70 Cancelled (50,000 ) 2.33 Forfeited (27,778 ) 8.75 Outstanding at March 31, 2019 8,953,527 4.13 Options exercisable at March 31, 2019 5,488,325 $ 4.79 Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1.76 and $2.72, respectively.

Income Taxes | Note 12. Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740. Under ASC 740, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has not recorded a current or deferred income tax expense or benefit since its inception. The Company’s loss before income taxes was $33.0 million and $19.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and was generated entirely in the United States. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are comprised of the following: March 31, 2019 2018 Net operating loss carryforward $ 10,663,981 $ 5,736,229 Research and development credit carryforward 718,748 410,369 Stock options - NQSOs 4,518,506 2,759,122 Accruals and other temporary differences 864,789 757,567 Gross deferred tax assets 16,766,024 9,663,287 Deferred tax valuation allowance (16,766,024 ) (9,663,287 ) Net deferred taxes $ — $ — Based on the Company’s history of operating losses since inception and consideration of available positive and negative evidence, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the benefit of its deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2019. The valuation allowance increased by $7.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the increase in the net operating loss carryforward and stock based compensation. A reconciliation of income tax benefit computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes as reflected in the financial statements is as follows: Year Ended March 31, 2019 2018 U.S. statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 31.5 % Stock options — (7.0 ) Permanent differences (0.8 ) 0.6 Tax rate change — (27.7 ) R&D credit carryforwards 1.3 0.5 Valuation allowance (21.5 ) 2.1 Effective tax rate — % — % Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. NOL and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of a 50% cumulative change in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as similar state tax provisions. This could limit the amount of NOLs that the Company can utilize annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation, if any, will be determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. The Company has completed several financing transactions since its inception which may have resulted in a change in control as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, or could result in a change in control in the future. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 469,167 $ 617,233 Decreases for tax positions in prior period (396,749 ) (148,066 ) Increase for tax positions in current period 54,420 — Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 126,838 $ 469,167 As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $126,838 of unrecognized tax benefits, which were offset with the net operating loss and valuation allowance on the consolidated balance sheet. None of the gross unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate at March 31, 2019, if recognized. In addition, the Company did not record any penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any positions for which it is reasonably possible that there will be significant increase or decrease in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, and various state jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns are generally subject to tax examinations for the period January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2018. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period. The Company has completed the accounting for the tax impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the |

Subsequent Events | Note 14. Subsequent Events. The Company evaluates events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of consolidated financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. On April 2, 2019, the Company closed on an underwritten registered offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share at a combined purchase price of $1.50 per share of common stock and accompanying warrant. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, was approximately $11 million. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Tech and its subsidiaries, Tyme, Inc. and Luminant. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimation include the calculation of the stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from such estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $14.3 million at March 31, 2019 and $29.0 million at March 31, 2018. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash is deposited with major banks and, at times, such balances with any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company exceeded the FDIC limit of $250,000 by $14.0 million at March 31, 2019 and $28.7 million at March 31, 2018. Although the Company has exceeded the federally insured limit, it has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Management monitors the Company’s accounts with these institutions to minimize credit risk. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximates fair value given their short-term nature. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of the derivative liability is discussed below. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (observable inputs) and the lowest priority to the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Fair value measurements should be disclosed separately by level within the fair value hierarchy. For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with established fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data are based primarily upon estimates, and often are calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as assets held for sale and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 — 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 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 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. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The Company had no assets or liabilities classified as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in any of the periods reported. The changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities for the year ended March 31, 2018 are as follows: Fair value at March 31, 2017 $ 378,600 Fair value of liability-classified anti-dilution feature 11,785 Change in fair value of derivative liability (390,385 ) Fair value at March 31, 2018 $ — |
Prepaid and Other Current Assets | Prepaid and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses represent expenditures made in advance of when the economic benefit of the cost will be realized, and which will be expensed in future periods with the passage of time. Prepaid and other current assets includes $0.6 million and $0.5 million of prepaid insurance as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company estimates a life of five to seven years for equipment and furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include fixed assets, whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If indicators of impairment exist, projected future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to its carrying amount to determine whether the asset’s value is recoverable. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operating results. For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined that there were no triggering events requiring an impairment analysis. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of, but not limited to, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and consultants that conduct clinical and preclinical studies, costs associated with preclinical and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations, depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities and employee related expenses, including salaries and benefits for research and development personnel. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical studies, are accrued, over the service period specified in the contract and recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to us by our vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as prepaid or accrued expense. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States, for federal and various state jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the income tax expense. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when, after consideration of available positive and negative evidence that it is not more likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax assets will be realizable. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions. ASC 740 “Income Taxes” states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. When and if the Company were to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, they would be reported in tax expense. |
Segment Information | Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. |
Derivative Liabilities | Derivative Liabilities Accounting standards require presentation of derivative liabilities at fair value. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any change in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as a component of other income or expense. Derivative Liability - PPO The Company had recorded a derivative liability related to an anti-dilution provision as part of a 2014 financing agreement. That anti-dilution provision was determined to be a freestanding financial instrument that was carried as a liability at fair value of $0.4 million. During the year ended March 31, 2018 the anti-dilution provision expired without the triggering of any such protection. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2018 and thereafter, there was no fair value of the derivative liability . |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earning per Share.” Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Company common stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. During the periods presented, the calculation excludes any potential dilutive common shares and any equivalents as they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses for the periods then ended. |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation The Company follows the authoritative guidance for accounting for stock-based compensation in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The guidance requires that stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period as services are being provided. (See Note 11, Equity Incentive Plan.) The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected The Company accounted for stock-based awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payment to Non-Employees” and accordingly the fair value of the stock options granted to non-employees was remeasured each reporting period until the earlier of: a) the performance commitment date, or b) the date the services required under the arrangement have been completed and the resulting increase or decrease in value, if any, was recognized as expense or income, respectively, during the period the related services are rendered. Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and, as such, the fair value options granted to non-employees is estimated at the date of grant only. |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments made to nonemployees so that the accounting for such payments is substantially the same as those made to employees, with certain exceptions. Under this ASU, equity-classified share based awards to nonemployees will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards, entities will need to assess the probability of satisfying performance conditions if any are present, and awards will continue to be classified according to ASC 718 upon vesting which eliminates the need to reassess classification upon vesting, consistent with awards granted to employees, unless the award is modified after the service has been rendered, any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied, and the nonemployee is no longer providing services. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-07 effective July 1, 2018. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting In February 2017, the FASB issued Update No. 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, amending Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) |
