Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
The Company and Basis of Presentation | The Company AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (“ AzurRx Parent ProteaBio Europe SAS ABS Company The Company is engaged in the research and development of non-systemic biologics for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Non-systemic biologics are non-absorbable drugs that act locally, i.e. the intestinal lumen, skin or mucosa, without reaching an individual’s systemic circulation. The Company’s current product pipeline consists of two therapeutic proteins under development: MS1819-SD MS1819-SD is a yeast derived recombinant lipase for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (“EPI”) associated with chronic pancreatitis (“CP”) and cystic fibrosis (“CF”). A lipase is an enzyme that breaks up fat molecules. MS1819-SD is considered recombinant because it was created from new combinations of genetic material in yeast called Yarrowia lipolytica In October 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for MS1819-SD in patients with EPI due to CF. In connection with the FDA’s clearance of the IND, the Company initiated a multi-center Phase 2 OPTION study in the fourth quarter of 2018 in the United States and Europe (the “OPTION Study”). The Company targeted enrollment of 30 to 35 patients for the OPTION Study and dosed the first patients in February 2019. In June 2019, the Company reached its enrollment target for the study. The Company expects to announce topline results from the OPTION Study in the third quarter of 2019. In addition to the OPTION Study, in July 2019 the Company launched a Phase 2 multi-center clinical trial in Hungary to investigate MS1819-SD in combination with standard porcine enzyme replacement therapy (“PERT”), the digestive standard of care for both CF and CP patients with EPI, for CF patients who suffer from severe EPI, but continue to experience clinical symptoms of fat malabsorption despite taking the maximum daily dose of PERTs. The Phase 2 study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating doses of MS1819-SD, in conjunction with a stable dose of PERTs, in order to increase CFA and relieve abdominal symptoms. Planned enrollment is expected to include approximately 24 CF patients with severe EPI, with study completion anticipated in 2020. b-Lactamase Program The Company’s b-lactamase program focuses on products with an enzymatic combination of bacterial origin for the prevention of hospital-acquired infections and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (“AAD”) by resistant bacterial strains induced by parenteral administration of several antibiotic classes. Currently, the Company has two compounds in pre-clinical development in this program, AZX1101 and AZX1103. Both AZX1101 and AZX1103 are composed of several distinct enzymes that break up individual classes of antibiotic molecules. AZX1103 is a b-lactamase enzyme combination that has shown positive pre-clinical activity, with degradation of amoxicillin in the presence of clavulanic acid in the upper gastrointestinal tract in the Gottingen minipig model. Currently, the Company is focused on advancing pre-clinical development of AZX1103. The Company is also currently assessing its plans for the continuation of the development of AZX1101. Recent Developments Asset Purchase Agreement with Mayoly On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Mayoly (the “ Mayoly APA JDLA In accordance with the Mayoly APA, the Company provided to Mayoly the following consideration for the purchase of MS1819-SD: (i) the Company assumed certain of Mayoly’s liabilities with respect to MS1819-SD; (ii) the Company forgave all amounts currently owed to AzurRx SAS by Mayoly under the JDLA; (iii) the Company agreed to pay, within 30 days after the execution of the Mayoly APA, all amounts incurred by Mayoly for the maintenance of patents related to MS1819-SD from January 1, 2019 through the date of the Mayoly APA; (iv) the Company made an initial payment to Mayoly of €800,000, which amount was paid by the issuance of 400,481 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.29 per share (the “ Closing Payment Shares (v) the Company agreed to pay to Mayoly an additional €1,500,000, payable in a mix of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock as follows (the “ Milestone Payments 2019 Escrow Shares 2020 Escrow Shares Escrow Shares The Closing Payment Shares and the Escrow Shares were all issued upon execution of the Mayoly APA; provided however April 2019 Registered Direct Public Offering In April 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 1,294,930 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $2.13 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2,500,000, after deducting the selling agent fee paid to Alexander Capital, L.P. and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “April 2019 Public Offering”). The April 2019 Public Offering was completed pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-226065) and the prospectus supplement filed on April 2, 2019. In connection with the April 2019 Public Offering, the Company entered into a Selling Agent Agreement with Alexander Capital, L.P., pursuant to which we paid to Alexander Capital, L.P. (i) a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the April 2019 Public Offering, and (ii) issued to Alexander Capital, L.P. warrants to purchase 38,848 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “April 2019 Selling Agent Warrants”), an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the April 2019 Public Offering. The April 2019 Selling Agent Warrants will become exercisable one year from the date of issuance, expire on April 2, 2024 and have an exercise price of $2.55 per share. Also see Note 12. The Company also reimbursed Alexander Capital, L.P. for its expenses on a non-accountable basis in an amount equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of the April 2019 Public Offering and $50,000 for other accountable expenses. May 2019 Registered Direct Public Offering On May 9, 2019, the Company completed a second public offering with Alexander Capital of 1,227,167 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $2.35 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2,550,000, after deducting the selling agent fee paid to Alexander Capital and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “May 2019 Public Offering”). The May 2019 Public Offering was completed pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-226065) and the prospectus supplement filed on May 9, 2019. In connection with the May 2019 Public Offering, the Company entered into a Selling Agent Agreement with Alexander Capital, pursuant to which the Company (i) paid Alexander Capital a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the May 2019 Public Offering, and (ii) issued Alexander Capital warrants to purchase up to 36,815 shares of Common Stock, an amount equal to 3.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering. The May 2019 Selling Agent Warrants will become exercisable one year from the date of issuance, expire on May 9, 2024 and have an exercise price of $2.82 per share. Also see Note 12. The Company also agreed to reimburse Alexander Capital for its expenses in connection with the Offering on a non-accountable basis in an amount equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and up to $50,000 for other accountable expenses. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ U.S. GAAP (“SEC” The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AzurRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AzurRx SAS. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Going Concern Uncertainty The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, had negative working capital at June 30, 2019 of approximately $2,593,000, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $57,221,000 at June 30, 2019. The Company is dependent on obtaining, and continues to pursue, additional working capital funding from the sale of securities and debt in order to continue to execute its development plan and continue operations. Without adequate working capital, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Use of Estimates The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include certain estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements (including goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration), and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $967,813 and $754,261, respectively, in one account in the U.S. in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company also has exposure to foreign currency risk as its subsidiary in France has a functional currency in Euros. Leases Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ( “ASU” Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at fair value on the grant date per ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, the fees paid to maintain the Company’s licenses, and the payments to third parties for clinical trial and additional product development and testing. Foreign Currency Translation For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measure of the actual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by reducing the goodwill balance by the difference between the carrying value and the reporting unit’s fair value (impairment loss is limited to the carrying value). This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company believes that the adoption of this pronouncement will not have an impact on the Company’s measurement of goodwill impairment. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: Fair Value Measured at Reporting Date Using Carrying Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value At June 30, 2019: Cash $ 1,310,687 $ - $ 1,310,687 $ - $ 1,310,687 Other receivables $ 2,119,700 $ - $ - $ 2,119,700 $ 2,119,700 Note payable $ 64,714 $ - $ - $ 64,714 $ 64,714 Convertible debt $ 1,837,160 $ - $ - $ 1,837,160 $ 1,837,160 At December 31, 2018: Cash $ 1,114,343 $ - $ 1,114,343 $ - $ 1,114,343 Other receivables $ 3,172,676 $ - $ - $ 3,172,676 $ 3,172,676 Note payable $ 255,032 $ - $ - $ 255,032 $ 255,032 The fair value of other receivables approximates carrying value as these consist primarily of French R&D tax credits that are normally received the following year and amounts due from our collaboration partner Mayoly, see Note 14. The fair value of note payable approximates carrying value due to the terms of such instruments and applicable interest rates. The fair value of convertible debt is based on the par value plus accrued interest through the date of reporting due to the terms of such instruments and interest rates, or the current interest rates of similar instruments. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation Plan | Under the 2014 Plan, the fair value of options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the common stock price and the assumed risk-free interest rate. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest and the compensation cost from vested options, whether forfeited or not, is not reversed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 893,500 stock options were granted with an exercise price of $1.70 and a term of five years. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, no options vested. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 244,500 options vested having a fair value of $511,335 and an intrinsic value of $0. 242,000 of these options valued at $501,666 vested due to the Company having its first CF patient dosed with MS1819-SD anywhere in the world, which was achieved by the dosing of the first patient in the OPTION Study. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 539,000 stock options were granted with an exercise price of $3.04 and a term of five years. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, 96,250 options vested having a fair value of $248,930 and an intrinsic value of $0. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 103,750 options vested having a fair value of $277,948 and an intrinsic value of $0. The fair values were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: June 30, June 30, 2019 2018 Contractual term (in years) 5 5 Volatility 71 % 85 % Risk-free interest rate 2.19 % 2.82 % Dividend yield - % - % The expected term of the options is based on expected future employee exercise behavior. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock if available or of several public entities that are similar to the Company. The Company bases volatility this way because it may not have sufficient historical transactions in its own shares on which to solely base expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The Company has not historically declared any dividends and does not expect to in the future. The Company realized no income tax benefit from stock option exercises in each of the periods presented due to recurring losses and valuation allowances. Stock option activity under the 2014 Plan is as follows: Number Average Remaining Contract Intrinsic of Shares Exercise Price Life in Years Value Stock options outstanding at January 1, 2018 545,000 $ 4.05 7.13 $ - Granted during the period 539,000 $ 3.04 5.00 $ - Expired during the period - - Exercised during the period - - Stock options outstanding at June 30, 2018 1,084,000 $ 3.72 5.82 $ - Exercisable at June 30, 2018 261,250 $ 4.26 8.60 $ - Non-vested stock options outstanding at January 1, 2018 387,500 $ 3.89 6.39 $ - Granted during the period 539,000 $ 3.04 5.00 $ - Vested during the period (103,750 ) $ 3.92 6.02 $ - Expired during the period - - Exercised during the period - - Non-vested stock options outstanding at June 30, 2018 822,750 $ 3.32 5.77 $ - Stock options outstanding at January 1, 2019 994,000 $ 3.58 5.42 $ - Granted during the period 893,500 $ 1.70 4.96 Expired during the period - - Canceled during the period - - Exercised during the period - - Stock options outstanding at June 30, 2019 1,887,500 $ 2.58 4.94 $ - Exercisable at June 30, 2019 994,000 $ 3.58 4.92 $ - Non-vested stock options outstanding at January 1, 2019 244,500 $ 3.05 4.53 $ - Granted during the period 893,500 $ 1.70 4.96 Vested during the period (244,500 ) $ 3.05 4.53 Expired during the period - - Canceled during the period - - Exercised during the period - - Non-vested stock options outstanding at June 30, 2019 893,500 $ 1.70 4.96 $ - 5,681 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2014 Plan as of June 30, 2019.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $14,500,000 and $12,490,000, respectively. As the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance of approximately $14,500,000 and $12,490,000, respectively, has been established at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Common Share | Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt that are not deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method. At June 30, 2019, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 3,188,378 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, 416,000 shares of restricted stock not yet issued, and 1,887,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options as their effect would be antidilutive during the periods prior to conversion. At June 30, 2018, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 3,112,715 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, 1,084,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, and 74,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt as their effect would be antidilutive during the periods prior to conversion. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | July 2019 Underwritten Public Offering On July 17, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. (“Wainwright”) as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale of 5 million shares of our common stock. Each share of common stock was sold at a public offering price of $1.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $5,000,000, or net proceeds of approximately $4,500,000, after deducting the underwriting discount, estimated legal fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “July 2019 Public Offering”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted to the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of Common Stock at the same public offering price per share. The July 2019 Public Offering was conducted pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-231954), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 5, 2019, and declared effective on June 25, 2019, including the base prospectus dated June 4, 2019 included therein and the related prospectus supplement filed on July 19, 2019. In addition to the underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, we also issued unregistered common stock purchase warrants to Wainwright to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock (the “Wainwright Warrants”). The Wainwright Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire on July 17, 2024 and have an exercise price of $1.25 per share. Cyber-Related Fraud On August 8, 2019, management was advised that it was a victim of a cyber-related fraud whereby a hacker impersonated one of the Company’s key vendors to redirect payments, totaling approximately $400,000. The Company, including the Audit Committee, is currently conducting an investigation and reviewing all available avenues of recovery, including from the Company’s financial institution and potential insurance claims to recover the payments. As of August 12, 2019, management is unable to determine the magnitude of the loss, if any, resulting from the cyber-related fraud. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include certain estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements (including goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration), and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Concentrations | Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $967,813 and $754,261, respectively, in one account in the U.S. in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company also has exposure to foreign currency risk as its subsidiary in France has a functional currency in Euros. |
Leases | Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ( “ASU” |
Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees | Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at fair value on the grant date per ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. |
Research and Development | Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, the fees paid to maintain the Company’s licenses, and the payments to third parties for clinical trial and additional product development and testing. |
Foreign Currency Translation | For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measure of the actual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by reducing the goodwill balance by the difference between the carrying value and the reporting unit’s fair value (impairment loss is limited to the carrying value). This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company believes that the adoption of this pronouncement will not have an impact on the Company’s measurement of goodwill impairment. |
