Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Inozyme Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage rare disease biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of diseases of abnormal mineralization impacting the vasculature, soft tissue and skeleton. The Company is pursuing the development of therapeutics to address the underlying causes of these debilitating diseases. It is well established that two genes, ENPP1 and ABCC6, play key roles in a critical mineralization pathway and that defects in these genes lead to abnormal mineralization. The Company is initially focused on developing a novel therapy to treat rare genetic diseases of ENPP1 and ABCC6 deficiencies. The Company’s lead product candidate, INZ-701, is a soluble, recombinant, or genetically engineered, fusion protein that is designed to correct a defect in the mineralization pathway caused by ENPP1 and ABCC6 deficiencies. This pathway is central to the regulation of calcium deposition throughout the body and is further associated with neointimal proliferation, or the overgrowth of smooth muscle cells inside blood vessels. On July 17, 2020, the Company effected a one-for-7.4730 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital. Shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options and other equity instruments were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the appropriate securities agreements. Shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were proportionately reduced and the respective conversion prices were proportionately increased. Stockholders entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. On July 28, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) pursuant to which it issued 7,000,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, and on July 30, 2020, the Company sold an additional 1,050,000 shares pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. . Upon the closing of the IPO, all 104,277,222 shares of the then outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into 13,953,850 shares of common stock Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated 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 the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern Since the Company’s incorporation in 2017 and through December 31, 2020, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to raising capital, building infrastructure, developing intellectual property and conducting research and development. The Company incurred net losses of $56.4 million and $19.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $91.1 million as of December 31, 2020. The Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments of $159.9 million and $47.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock, and the Company’s IPO completed on July 28, 2020. The Company expects its operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue into the foreseeable future as it continues to expand its research and development efforts. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments as of December 31, 2020 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company will need additional funding to support its planned operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inozyme Securities Corp., which is a Massachusetts subsidiary created to buy, sell, and hold securities, Inozyme Ireland Limited, and Inozyme Pharma Switzerland GmbH. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are based on historical information and other market-specific or various relevant assumptions, including, in certain circumstances, future projections that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to the accruals for research and development expenses, the fair value of equity instruments issued prior to the IPO, and the grant date fair value of stock-based awards. For equity instruments issued prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, the Company utilized various valuation methodologies in accordance with the framework of the 2013 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits and limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s investments are comprised of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency debt securities and commercial paper of corporations. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking accounts, money market accounts and certain marketable securities. Cash is carried at cost, which approximates its fair value. Cash equivalents are carried at fair market value. Restricted Cash Restricted cash is composed of amounts held to collateralize the letter of credit related to the Company’s lease arrangements. Restricted cash is classified as either current or non-current based on the terms of the underlying lease arrangement. Short-Term and Long-Term Investments The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale and records such assets at estimated fair value on the balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, if any, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific-identification method and are recorded as a component of interest income. There have been no realized gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company periodically reviews available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Marketable securities with a maturity date of one year or less from the balance sheet date are classified by the Company as short-term investments. Marketable securities with a maturity date of greater than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments and are available to fund operations as needed. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, at the time of purchase, the final maturity of each security within the portfolio shall not exceed 18 months and the weighted average maturity of the portfolio will be no greater than 12 months. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are as follows: Estimated Useful Life (In Years) Laboratory equipment and manufacturing equipment 5 Furniture and fixtures 5 Computer equipment and software 3 Leasehold improvements Lesser of asset life or lease term Impairment of Long-lived Assets As required under the applicable accounting guidance, the Company periodically reevaluates the original assumptions and rationale used in the establishment of the carrying value and estimated lives of all of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the total of estimated future undiscounted cash flows, expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition, are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, would be assessed using discounted cash flows or other appropriate measures of fair value. There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Accrued Research and Development Costs The Company records accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by service providers for sponsored research, preclinical studies, clinical operations, and contract manufacturing activities. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and includes these costs in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with service providers. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued liabilities balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since its inception. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect internal costs related to specific projects as well as fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Research and development costs also include the write-off of acquired in-process research and development assets with no future use. Patent Costs The Company expenses all costs as incurred in connection with patent applications, including direct application fees, and the legal and consulting expenses related to making such applications, and such costs are included in general and administrative expenses within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of employee and non-employee stock option grants and restricted stock awards recognized over the requisite service period of the awards on a straight-line basis. For service-based awards that are subject to graded vesting, companies have the option to recognize compensation expense either on a straight-line or accelerated basis. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense for these awards on a straight-line basis. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur upon adoption of guidance per ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation The Company’s equity incentive plan allows for the issuance of restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees that may be subject to vesting. The unvested shares of any restricted stock awards are held in escrow as the stock award vests or until award holder termination, whichever occurs first. In the event of a termination, the Company has the right of repurchase, at its option, the portion of unvested stock awards from the terminated award holder. Convertible Preferred Stock The Company’s convertible preferred stock was classified as temporary equity and excluded from stockholders’ (deficit) equity as the potential redemption of such stock was outside the Company’s control. The carrying value of the convertible preferred stock was not adjusted to the redemption value until the contingent redemption events were considered to be probable of occurring. Income Taxes Income taxes have been accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable 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 the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if, based upon the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance which states the impact of an uncertain income tax position is recognized at the largest amount that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020 or 2019. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any interest or penalties in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss since inception. Leases The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases. On certain lease arrangements, the Company may receive rent holidays or other incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis once control of the space is obtained, without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments or escalating payment amounts. The difference between required lease payments and rent expense has been recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, incentives received are treated as a reduction of costs over the term of the agreement, as they are considered an inseparable part of the lease agreement. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, no capital leases were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Issuance Costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings, including the Company’s IPO, as deferred issuance costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of such an equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds generated as a result of the offering. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, the deferred issuance costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recorded deferred issuance costs at December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $0 and $0.1 million, respectively. Net Loss Per Share The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss allocable to common securities per share as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities, which include shares of: (i) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (ii) Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to the participating securities to determine net income allocable to the common securities. During periods of loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method since the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to fund the losses of the Company. Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock, restricted common stock, and stock options that are outstanding during the period. The Company has generated a net loss in all periods presented, therefore the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined it operates in a single operating segment and has one reportable segment. All long-lived assets of the Company reside in the United States. Comprehensive Loss The Company is required to report all components of comprehensive loss, including net loss, in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss is comprised of the Company’s net loss and unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s investments and is presented within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign Currency Transactions The Company maintains foreign bank accounts denominated in euros and Swiss francs. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded by the Company using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, cash denominated in foreign currencies is translated at the period-end rates of exchange. Exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign currency items are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $247 thousand and a net foreign exchange loss of $24 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Fair Value Measurements The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance that establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2- Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or • Level 3- Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. As an EGC, the Company can elect to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company FASB standards’ effective dates. The Company will remain an EGC until December 31, 2025, although if the market value of the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if the Company has annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more in any fiscal year, the Company would cease to be an EGC as of December 31 of the applicable year. The Company would also cease to be an EGC if it issued more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. |

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities”, Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) . ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent related updates establish a new forward-looking “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on accounts receivable and financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information. The new standard and its subsequent related updates are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to be material. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”) In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes |

The Company concluded that the declines in market value of available-for-sale securities were temporary in nature and did not consider any of the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. In accordance with its investment policy, the Company invests in investment grade securities with high credit quality issuers, and generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment is evaluated considering numerous factors, and their relative significance varies depending on the situation. Factors considered include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. Furthermore, the aggregate of individual unrealized losses that had been outstanding for 12 months or less was not significant as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before a recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. The Company also believes that it will be able to collect both principal and interest amounts due at maturity.

License and Sponsored Research Agreements | 6. License and Sponsored Research Agreements In January 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Yale University (“Yale”), which was amended in May 2020 and July 2020, under which the Company licensed certain intellectual property related to ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase enzymes, that is the basis for the Company’s INZ-701 development program. Pursuant to the license agreement, as partial upfront consideration, the Company made a payment of approximately $60,000 to Yale, which amount reflected unreimbursed patent expenses incurred by Yale prior to the date of the license agreement. The Company is responsible for paying Yale an annual license maintenance fee in varying amounts throughout the term ranging from the low tens of thousands of dollars to the high tens of thousands of dollars. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred a total of $44,000 and $10,000, respectively, in license maintenance fees to Yale. The Company is required to pay Yale $3.0 million, based on the achievement of a specified net product sales milestone or specified development and commercialization milestones, for each therapeutic and prophylactic licensed product developed. In addition, the Company is required to pay Yale an amount in the several hundreds of thousands of dollars, based on the achievement of a specified net product sales milestone or specified development and commercialization milestones, for each diagnostic licensed product developed. While the agreement remains in effect, the Company is required to pay Yale low single-digit percentage royalties on aggregate worldwide net sales of certain licensed products. Yale is guaranteed a minimum royalty payment amount (ranging in dollar amounts from the mid six figures to low seven figures) for each year after the first sale of a therapeutic or prophylactic licensed product that results in net sales. Yale is guaranteed a minimum royalty payment amount (ranging from the low tens of thousands of dollars to the mid tens of thousands of dollars) for each year after the first sale of a diagnostic licensed product that results in net sales. The Company must also pay Yale a percentage in the twenties of certain types of income it receives from sublicensees. The Company is also responsible for costs relating to the prosecution and maintenance of the licensed patents. Finally, subject to certain conditions, all payments due by the Company to Yale will be tripled following any patent challenge or challenge to a claim by Yale that a product is a licensed product under the agreement made by the Company against Yale if Yale prevails in such challenge. In January 2017, the Company also entered into a corporate sponsored research agreement with Yale (the “Sponsored Research Agreement”), which was amended in February 2019, under which the Company agreed to provide research support funding in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million over the five year period from contract inception through 2021. The Company recorded research and development expenses associated with this arrangement of $0.4 million and $0.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company did not record any research and development expense associated with other arrangements with Yale in the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company recorded research and development expense associated with other arrangements with Yale of $0.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. |

In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and senior management that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Legal Proceedings The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses the costs related to its legal proceedings as they are incurred. No such costs have been incurred during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |

Convertible Preferred Stock And Stockholders Equity [Abstract] | |
Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity | 8. Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity Convertible Preferred Stock Series A Convertible Preferred Stock In January 2017, the Company converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. In connection with the conversion to a corporation, 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company were issued to stockholders upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the limited liability company. In January 2017, the Company entered into a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, which was amended and restated in April 2017 (as amended and restated, the “Series A Agreement”) under which it agreed to issue up to 48,750,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in two tranches. Under the Series A Agreement, the Company initially issued 27,083,333 shares at a price of $1.00 per share for net cash proceeds of $26.7 million from January 2017 through May 2017. The Series A Agreement provided for a second tranche closing based on the achievement of a defined milestone (the “Tranche Right”), pursuant to which the investors were required to purchase, and the Company to sell, an additional 21,666,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share upon the achievement of the defined milestone or waiver of the milestone. In November 2018, the Company sold 21,666,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share for proceeds of $21.6 million. The Company concluded that the Tranche Right met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument, as the Tranche Right was legally detachable and separately exercisable from the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Therefore, the Company allocated the net proceeds between the Tranche Right and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Since the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event, the Tranche Right was classified as a liability under ASC Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and was initially recorded at fair value. The estimated fair value of the Tranche Right was determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Tranche Right was remeasured at fair value at each reporting period prior to settlement in November 2018, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Tranche Right was reclassified to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at settlement. Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock In November 2018, the Company entered into a Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, which was amended in March 2019 (as so amended, the “Series A-2 Agreement”) under which it agreed to issue up to 47,132,862 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. Under the Series A-2 Agreement, the Company initially issued 7,482,515 shares at a price of $1.43 per share for net proceeds of $10.4 million in November 2018 and 16,083,916 shares at a price of $1.43 per share for net proceeds of $22.9 million in March 2019. The Series A-2 Agreement provided for a second tranche closing, pursuant to which the investors were required to purchase, and the Company to sell, an additional 23,566,431 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.43 per share upon the achievement of the defined milestone, or earlier upon board of directors and requisite stockholder approval to waive such requirement. The Company concluded that the second tranche did not meet the definition of a freestanding financial instrument and therefore did not require separate accounting. In June 2020, the board of directors and requisite stockholders approved such waiver and the Company issued 23,566,431 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.43 per share for net proceeds of $33.6 million. In July 2020, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock from 47,132,862 to 55,427,222. In July 2020, the Company issued 8,294,360 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock to Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alexion”) in consideration for the sale and assignment to the Company of specified patent rights and other specified assets related to ENPP1. In July 2020, the Company eliminated the per share and gross proceeds thresholds for a firm-commitment underwritten public offering that triggers the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock. On July 28, 2020, upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, all 104,277,222 shares of then outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into 13,953,850 shares of common stock. In addition, on July 28, 2020, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which shares of preferred stock are currently undesignated. The Company does not have any outstanding preferred stock as of December 31, 2020.

Equity Incentive Plans In January 2017, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated in July 2017, (as so amended and restated, the “2017 Plan”), which provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and other stock awards. The maximum number of shares of common stock that were authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan was 2,730,496. On July 17, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which became effective on July 23, 2020. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan is 1,588,315 shares, plus the 426,065 shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2017 Plan as of July 23, 2020. The number of shares reserved under the 2020 Plan shall be annually increased on January 1, 2021 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2030 by the lower of (i) 4% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the first day of such fiscal year and (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of the effective date of the 2020 Plan, no further awards will be made under the 2017 Plan. Any options or awards outstanding under the 2017 Plan remain outstanding and effective and are governed by their existing terms. The shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan that expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. No more than 1,588,315 shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted subject to incentive stock options under the 2020 Plan. As of December 31, 2020, 568,235 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. On January 1, 2021, the number of shares of common stock reserved under the 2020 Plan was increased by 935,398 shares. For financial reporting purposes, the Company performed common stock valuations with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist as of March 31, 2020, May 31, 2019, November 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017 to determine stock-based compensation expense for the stock options issued under the 2017 Plan prior to the IPO. Following the completion of the IPO, the fair value of the common stock underlying option grants is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Company’s equity incentive plans since December 31, 2019: Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (in years) (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 1,635,427 $ 1.64 8.81 $ 668 Granted 1,628,265 12.23 Exercised (176,489 ) 1.12 Forfeited (22,746 ) 1.95 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 3,064,457 $ 7.28 8.76 $ 41,680 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 835,769 $ 2.61 7.62 $ 15,070 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2020 3,064,457 $ 7.28 8.76 $ 41,680 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company granted 1,628,265 and 1,009,125 stock options, respectively, at a weighted-average exercise price of $12.23 and $2.02, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $9.15 per share and $1.51 per share, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0.7 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.1 million. For purposes of calculating stock-based compensation, the Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates various assumptions, including the expected volatility, expected term, and interest rates. The underlying assumptions used to value stock options granted to participants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate range 0.36% to 0.55% 1.63 to 2.51% Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected term of options (years) 6.08 to 6.78 6.78 Volatility rate range 86.54% to 99.85% 85.02% to 103.76% Expected Term —The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses the simplified method for estimating the expected term, which calculates the expected term as the average time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options for stock options issued to participants. Expected Volatility —Due to the Company’s limited operating history and lack of company-specific historical or implied volatility, the expected volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers whose share prices are publicly available. 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. Risk-Free Interest Rate —The risk-free rate assumption is based on U.S. Treasury instruments, the terms of which were consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. Expected Dividend —The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has not paid and does not intend to pay dividends. Fair Value of Common Stock —Historically, the fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has been the responsibility of and is determined by the Company’s board of directors. Because there was no public market for the Company’s common stock prior to the Company’s IPO, the board of directors determined fair value of common stock at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and the general and industry specific economic outlook, among other factors. Following the Company’s IPO, the fair value of the Company’s common stock has been determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized employee-related stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and nonemployee stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized employee-related stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and an immaterial amount of non-employee stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of shares vested for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding employee awards as of December 31, 2020 was $13.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On July 17, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became effective on July 23, 2020. The ESPP initially provides participating employees with the opportunity to purchase up to an aggregate of 198,539 shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on January 1, 2021 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to the lowest of (1) 397,079 shares of the Company’s common stock, (2) 1% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the first day of such fiscal year and (3) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2020, no shares have been purchased by employees under the ESPP. |

Income Taxes | 9. Income Taxes During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded net losses of $56.4 million and $19.7 million, respectively. Since it maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, the Company did not record an income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Federal income tax at statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % Permanent differences (0.5 ) (0.9 ) State income tax, net of federal benefit 5.0 4.8 Federal and state research and development tax credits 0.9 0.7 Valuation allowance (26.4 ) (24.6 ) Other — (1.0 ) Effective income tax rate — % — % Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are comprised of the following (dollar amounts in thousands): December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Net operating losses $ 17,712 $ 8,584 Research and development credits 1,007 429 Stock options 157 20 Accrued expenses 594 222 Deferred rent 408 — Amortization 4,520 — Other 173 77 Gross deferred tax assets 24,571 9,332 Less: Valuation allowance (24,199 ) (9,320 ) Net deferred tax assets 372 12 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation of fixed assets (372 ) (12 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities (372 ) (12 ) Non-current net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ — $ — As of December 31, 2020, the Company had gross federal operating loss carryforwards of $69.6 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income. Of the federal operating loss carryforwards, $5.6 million begin to expire in 2037 and $64.0 million do not expire. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had gross state operating loss carryforwards of $50.4 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income and which begin to expire in 2037. As required by FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes The Company also has federal and state research and development credit carryforwards totaling $1.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The federal research and development credit carryforwards will begin to expire in 2037, unless previously utilized. The state research and development credit carryforwards will begin to expire in 2040, unless previously utilized. The Company has generated research credits, but has not conducted a study to document the qualified activity. This study may result in an adjustment to the Company’s research and development credit carryforwards; however, until a study is completed and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s research and development credits and, if an adjustment is required, this adjustment would be offset by an adjustment to the deferred tax asset established for the research and development credit carryforwards and the valuation allowance. The Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income is subject to restrictions under Sections 382 and 383 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Internal Revenue Code”). Under the Internal Revenue Code provisions, certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership, including the sale of the Company or significant changes in ownership due to sales of equity, have limited and may limit in the future, the amount of NOLs which could be used annually to offset future taxable income. The Company has not yet completed an analysis of ownership changes. The Company may also experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in its stock ownership, some of which may be outside the Company’s control. As a result, the Company’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to the Company. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed. Under the TCJA, the use of federal NOLs arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 is limited to 80% of current year taxable income and NOLs arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017 may not be carried back (though any such NOLs may be carried forward indefinitely). The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, retroactively and temporarily (for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021) suspended application of the 80%-of-income limitation on the use of NOLs and provides that NOLs arising in any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021 are generally eligible to be carried back up to five years. The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions based on management’s assessment of exposures associated with tax positions taken on tax return filings. The tax reserves are analyzed periodically and adjustments are made as events occur to warrant adjustment to the reserve. The Company does not have any reserves for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020 and any change in position would result in a change in the valuation allowance maintained against its net deferred tax assets. Interest and penalty charges, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Since the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state and local income tax authorities for all tax years in which a loss carryforward is available. The tax law changes in the CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision. |

Net Loss per Share | 10. Net Loss per Share Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, stock options, unvested restricted stock, and convertible preferred stock are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential dilutive securities, presented based on amounts outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (as converted to common stock) — 6,536,856 Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (as converted to common stock) — 3,153,537 Options to purchase common stock 3,064,457 1,635,427 3,064,457 11,325,820 |

Acquisition of Assets In July 2020 , the Company entered into an intellectual property asset purchase agreement with Alexion pursuant to which Alexion sold and assigned to the Company its right, title and interest in and to specified patent rights and other specified assets solely related to ENPP1. The Company issued 8,294,360 shares of its Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock to Alexion in consideration for the sale and assignment to the Company of such assets, with an estimated fair value of $17.8 million. The Company concluded that this transaction constituted a purchase of intellectual property assets and not a business combination. The Company will use these assets in research and development activities and believes they have no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the Company recognized expense of $17.9 million as a component of research and development expense in the year ended December 31, 2020, representing the value of the intellectual property assets acquired from Alexion and related acquisition costs as of the acquisition date |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated 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 the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inozyme Securities Corp., which is a Massachusetts subsidiary created to buy, sell, and hold securities, Inozyme Ireland Limited, and Inozyme Pharma Switzerland GmbH. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are based on historical information and other market-specific or various relevant assumptions, including, in certain circumstances, future projections that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to the accruals for research and development expenses, the fair value of equity instruments issued prior to the IPO, and the grant date fair value of stock-based awards. For equity instruments issued prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, the Company utilized various valuation methodologies in accordance with the framework of the 2013 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits and limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s investments are comprised of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency debt securities and commercial paper of corporations. The Company mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and limiting the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking accounts, money market accounts and certain marketable securities. Cash is carried at cost, which approximates its fair value. Cash equivalents are carried at fair market value. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash is composed of amounts held to collateralize the letter of credit related to the Company’s lease arrangements. Restricted cash is classified as either current or non-current based on the terms of the underlying lease arrangement. |
Short-Term and Long-Term Investments | Short-Term and Long-Term Investments The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale and records such assets at estimated fair value on the balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, if any, reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific-identification method and are recorded as a component of interest income. There have been no realized gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company periodically reviews available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Marketable securities with a maturity date of one year or less from the balance sheet date are classified by the Company as short-term investments. Marketable securities with a maturity date of greater than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments and are available to fund operations as needed. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, at the time of purchase, the final maturity of each security within the portfolio shall not exceed 18 months and the weighted average maturity of the portfolio will be no greater than 12 months. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are as follows: Estimated Useful Life (In Years) Laboratory equipment and manufacturing equipment 5 Furniture and fixtures 5 Computer equipment and software 3 Leasehold improvements Lesser of asset life or lease term |
Impairment Long-lived Assets | Impairment of Long-lived Assets As required under the applicable accounting guidance, the Company periodically reevaluates the original assumptions and rationale used in the establishment of the carrying value and estimated lives of all of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the total of estimated future undiscounted cash flows, expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition, are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, would be assessed using discounted cash flows or other appropriate measures of fair value. There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Accrued Research and Development Costs | Accrued Research and Development Costs The Company records accrued liabilities for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by service providers for sponsored research, preclinical studies, clinical operations, and contract manufacturing activities. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and includes these costs in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with service providers. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued liabilities balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since its inception. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect internal costs related to specific projects as well as fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Research and development costs also include the write-off of acquired in-process research and development assets with no future use. |
Patent Costs | Patent Costs The Company expenses all costs as incurred in connection with patent applications, including direct application fees, and the legal and consulting expenses related to making such applications, and such costs are included in general and administrative expenses within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of employee and non-employee stock option grants and restricted stock awards recognized over the requisite service period of the awards on a straight-line basis. For service-based awards that are subject to graded vesting, companies have the option to recognize compensation expense either on a straight-line or accelerated basis. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense for these awards on a straight-line basis. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur upon adoption of guidance per ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation The Company’s equity incentive plan allows for the issuance of restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees that may be subject to vesting. The unvested shares of any restricted stock awards are held in escrow as the stock award vests or until award holder termination, whichever occurs first. In the event of a termination, the Company has the right of repurchase, at its option, the portion of unvested stock awards from the terminated award holder. |
Convertible Preferred Stock | Convertible Preferred Stock The Company’s convertible preferred stock was classified as temporary equity and excluded from stockholders’ (deficit) equity as the potential redemption of such stock was outside the Company’s control. The carrying value of the convertible preferred stock was not adjusted to the redemption value until the contingent redemption events were considered to be probable of occurring. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes have been accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable 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 the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if, based upon the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance which states the impact of an uncertain income tax position is recognized at the largest amount that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020 or 2019. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has not recognized any interest or penalties in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss since inception. |
Leases | Leases The Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or capital leases. On certain lease arrangements, the Company may receive rent holidays or other incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis once control of the space is obtained, without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments or escalating payment amounts. The difference between required lease payments and rent expense has been recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, incentives received are treated as a reduction of costs over the term of the agreement, as they are considered an inseparable part of the lease agreement. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, no capital leases were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Deferred Issuance Costs | Deferred Issuance Costs The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings, including the Company’s IPO, as deferred issuance costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of such an equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds generated as a result of the offering. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, the deferred issuance costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recorded deferred issuance costs at December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $0 and $0.1 million, respectively. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss allocable to common securities per share as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities, which include shares of: (i) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (ii) Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to the participating securities to determine net income allocable to the common securities. During periods of loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method since the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to fund the losses of the Company. Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock, restricted common stock, and stock options that are outstanding during the period. The Company has generated a net loss in all periods presented, therefore the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive. |
Segments | Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined it operates in a single operating segment and has one reportable segment. All long-lived assets of the Company reside in the United States. |
Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss The Company is required to report all components of comprehensive loss, including net loss, in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss is comprised of the Company’s net loss and unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s investments and is presented within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Foreign Currency Transactions | Foreign Currency Transactions The Company maintains foreign bank accounts denominated in euros and Swiss francs. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded by the Company using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, cash denominated in foreign currencies is translated at the period-end rates of exchange. Exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign currency items are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $247 thousand and a net foreign exchange loss of $24 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance that establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2- Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or • Level 3- Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). |
Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. As an EGC, the Company can elect to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company FASB standards’ effective dates. The Company will remain an EGC until December 31, 2025, although if the market value of the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if the Company has annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more in any fiscal year, the Company would cease to be an EGC as of December 31 of the applicable year.

ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent related updates establish a new forward-looking “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on accounts receivable and financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information. The new standard and its subsequent related updates are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to be material.
