Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF BUSINESS | NATURE OF BUSINESS Axcella Health Inc. and subsidiaries ("Axcella," the "Company" or "we") is a biotechnology company that was incorporated in Delaware on August 27, 2008 and has a principal place of business in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Company is focused on leveraging endogenous metabolic modulators, or EMMs, to pioneer a new approach for treating complex diseases and improving health. The Company's product candidates are comprised of multiple EMMs that are engineered in distinct combinations and ratios with the goal of simultaneously impacting multiple biological pathways. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful development of technology, obtaining additional funding, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, risks of failure of preclinical studies, Clinical Studies and Clinical Trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates, if required, and successfully market consumer products, fluctuations in operating results, economic pressure impacting therapeutic pricing, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with changes in technologies, development by competitors of technological innovations and the ability to scale manufacturing to large scale production. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and any necessary regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has historically funded its operations with proceeds from sales of preferred and common stock and borrowings under a loan and security agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $231.1 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally, including to the United States and European countries, which has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, business shutdowns and clinical site closures to non-essential care and clinical trials. Although we cannot presently predict the scope and severity of COVID-19, these developments and measures could materially and adversely affect our business, our results of operations and financial condition, particularly if the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacts our ability to conduct and complete our ongoing Clinical Studies and planned Clinical Trials in a timely manner or at all. Additionally, potential shutdowns of government agencies such as the SEC or FDA, may limit our ability to raise capital and negatively impact our product development timelines. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on our operations is uncertain. A prolonged pandemic could have a material adverse impact on financial results and business operations of the Company, including the timing and ability of the Company to complete our ongoing Clinical Studies and planned Clinical Trials and other efforts required to advance the development of our EMMs. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2020 (the "2019 Annual Report"). The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, its statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2020, or for any future period. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. |

The 2018 Facility has an interest rate equal to the LIBOR plus 8.50% per annum (10.10% as of March 31, 2020) payable monthly. The Company granted the lender a first priority security interest in all assets of the Company, excluding intellectual property and granted a negative pledge on such intellectual property. In October 2018, the Company amended the 2018 Facility (the "Amended 2018 Facility") to extend the interest only period through July 2020 or January 2021 and the Maturity Date to July 2022 or January 2023 if certain conditions are met. The interest rate was not changed through the amendment. Upon completion of the IPO in May 2019, the interest only period was extended through January 2021 and the Maturity Date was extended to January 2023. Monthly principal payments of $1.1 million are to commence February 2021 for 24 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, interest expense arising from the amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing fees was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Terminal Interest Fee The Company's debt facility includes a terminal interest fee obligation totaling $1.4 million, which is due with the final principal payment of the loan and has been modified from time to time as the facilities were amended. The Company is accruing the terminal fee obligation over the term of the facility. The carrying value of the terminal interest fee was $0.9 million and $0.9 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The scheduled principal maturity of the long term debt, as of March 31, 2020 is as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, 2021 $ 11,917 2022 13,000 2023 1,083 $ 26,000 |

Equity [Abstract] | |
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Upon closing of the IPO, all outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into an aggregate of 14,641,997 shares of common stock. The holders of the Company’s preferred stock had certain voting, dividend, and redemption rights, as well as liquidation preferences and conversion privileges. All rights, preferences, and privileges associated with the preferred stock were terminated at the time of the Company’s IPO in conjunction with the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock. Initial Public Offering In May 2019, the Company issued 3,571,428 common shares at a public offering price of $20.00 per share for net proceeds of $64.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan The 2019 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") was approved by our board of directors on April 29, 2019 and became effective upon completion of the IPO. The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards and cash-based awards to the Company's officers, employees, directors and consultants. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan is 905,000, which shall be cumulatively increased on January 1, 2020 and each January 1 thereafter by 4% of the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares determined by the Company's board of directors or compensation committee of the board of directors. On January 1, 2020, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan was automatically increased by 927,553 shares. The number of shares available for future grant under the 2019 Plan was 601,721 as of March 31, 2020. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2019 ESPP") was approved by the Company's board of directors on April 29, 2019 and became effective upon the IPO. A total of 237,181 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under this plan, which shall be cumulatively increased on January 1, 2020 and each January 1 thereafter by 1% of the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares determined by the Company's board of directors or compensation committee of the board of directors. On January 1, 2020, the number of shares available to be issued under the ESPP automatically increased by 231,888 shares. As of March 31, 2020, the total number of shares that may be issued under the ESPP was 469,069 shares. As of March 31, 2020, the initial purchase period under the ESPP has not yet commenced. Stock Option Valuation The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As there was no public market for its common stock prior to May 9, 2019, which was the first day of trading, and as the trading history of the Company’s common stock was limited through March 31, 2020, the Company determined the volatility for awards granted based on an analysis of reported data for a group of guideline companies that issued options with substantially similar terms. The expected volatility has been determined using a weighted-average of the historical volatility measures of this group of guideline companies. The Company expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. The assumptions that the Company used to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted were as follows: Three Months Ended 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate 1.64 % 2.30% - 2.50% Expected option life (in years) 6.11 6.25 Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected volatility 72.5 % 73.4 % Stock Option Activity The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2020: Number of Shares Weighted Weighted Intrinsic Outstanding as of January 1, 2020 5,176,944 $ 7.35 Granted 473,090 4.15 Exercised — — Canceled (206,956) 6.75 Outstanding as of March 31, 2020 5,443,078 $ 7.09 8.1 $ 1,035 Exercisable as of March 31, 2020 2,331,934 $ 5.99 7.1 $ 1,027 Vested or expected to vest as of March 31, 2020 5,385,856 $ 7.05 8.0 $ 1,034 The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $0, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was $2.69 and $5.02 per share, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). |
Principles of Consolidation | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. |
Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not AdoptedIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), as amended by various subsequently issued ASUs. The standard requires lessees to recognize an operating lease with a term greater than one year on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. If the lease is effectively a financed-purchase by the lessee, it is classified as a financing lease, otherwise it is classified as an operating lease. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), which permits entities to continue applying legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year that the entity adopts the new leasing standard. The new standard will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company will apply the transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of the standard is expected to have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and will recognize a lease obligation and right of use asset for its existing operating leases upon adoption. The Company expects to take advantage of certain available expedients by electing the transition package of practical expedients permitted within ASU 2016-02, which allows the Company to not reassess previous accounting conclusions around whether arrangements are, or contain, leases, the classification of leases, and the treatment of initial direct costs. The Company also expects to make an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date. |
