Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | 1. Organization resTORbio, Inc. (collectively referred to with its wholly-owned, controlled subsidiary, resTORbio Securities Corp. as “resTORbio” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 5, 2016. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative medicines that target the biology of aging to prevent or treat aging-related diseases Since inception, the Company has been primarily involved in research and development activities. The Company devotes substantially all of its efforts to product research and development, initial market development and raising capital. The Company has not generated any product revenue related to its primary business purpose to date and is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other early stage companies, including dependence on key individuals, competition from other companies, the need for development of commercially viable products and the need to obtain adequate additional financing to fund the development of its product candidates. The Company is also subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in the life sciences industry, including regulatory approval of products, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, competition from substitute products and larger companies, the need to obtain additional financing, compliance with government regulations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on third parties, product liability and dependence on key individuals. Public Offering On March 22, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering, whereby the Company sold 7,200,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.95 per share. The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the offering were approximately $46.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company of $3.5 million. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,080,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On April 10, 2019, the Company sold an additional 487,934 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.95 per share. The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company were approximately $3.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company of $0.3 million. Liquidity In the course of its development activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue over the next several years. The Company’s ultimate success depends on the outcome of its research and development activities. The Company has incurred net losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $82.5 million as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $143.1 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, which the Company believes will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating plan through at least the next twelve months. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2019 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any other interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of resTORbio, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, resTORbio Securities Corp. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of any expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to accrued liabilities, income taxes, and stock-based compensation expense. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, and on various other market-specific relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the notes thereto, which are included in the 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. The authoritative accounting guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable. These levels of inputs are as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2019 (in thousands): Active Observable Unobservable March 31, Markets Inputs Inputs Description 2019 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Cash $ 31 $ 31 $ — $ — Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents) 7,150 7,150 — — U.S. treasury securities (included in marketable securities) 135,910 135,910 — — Total $ 143,091 $ 143,091 $ — $ — The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2018 (in thousands): Active Observable Unobservable December 31, Markets Inputs Inputs Description 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents) $ 6,804 $ 6,804 $ — $ — U.S. treasury securities (included in cash and cash equivalents) 238 238 — — U.S. treasury securities (included in marketable securities) 100,986 100,986 — — Total $ 108,028 $ 108,028 $ — $ — There have been no changes to the valuation methods utilized by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

License Agreements | 6. License Agreements Novartis License Agreement On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd. (“Novartis”). Under the agreement, Novartis granted the Company an exclusive, field-restricted, worldwide license, to certain intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Novartis, to develop, commercialize and sell one or more therapeutic products comprising RTB101 or RTB101 in combination with everolimus in a fixed dose combination. The exclusive field under the license agreement is for the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of disease and other conditions in all indications in humans and animals. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon a material breach by the other party that is not cured within 60 days after written notice. The Company may terminate the agreement in its entirety or on a product-by-product or country-by-country basis with or without cause with 60 days’ prior written notice. Novartis may terminate the portion of the agreement related to everolimus if the Company fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize a product utilizing everolimus for a period of three years. Novartis may terminate the license agreement upon the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding up. As additional consideration for the license, the Company is required to pay up to an aggregate of $4.3 million upon the satisfaction of clinical milestones, up to an aggregate of $24 million upon the satisfaction of regulatory milestones for the first indication approved, and up to an aggregate of $18 million upon the satisfaction of regulatory milestones for the second indication approved. In addition, the Company is required to pay up to an aggregate of $125 million upon the satisfaction of commercial milestones, based on the amount of annual net sales. The Company is also required to pay tiered royalties ranging from a mid single-digit percentage to a low teen-digit percentage on annual net sales of products. These royalty obligations last on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the latest of (i) the expiration of the last valid claim of a Novartis patent covering a subject product, (ii) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for the subject product in a country, or (iii) the 10 th Milestone payments to Novartis will be recorded as research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations once achievement of each associated milestone has occurred. In May 2017, the Company initiated a Phase 2b clinical trial for a first indication, triggering the first milestone payment under the agreement. Accordingly, the Company paid the related $0.3 million payment in May 2017. As of March 31, 2019, none of the remaining development milestones, regulatory milestones, sales milestones, or royalties had been reached. In May 2019, the Company initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial for the first indication, triggering a milestone payment of $2.5 million under the agreement. |

Research Funding Agreement [Abstract] | |
Research Funding Agreement | 7. Research Funding Agreement On March 6, 2018, the Company and the Silverstein Foundation for Parkinson’s with GBA (the “Silverstein Foundation”) entered into a research funding agreement (the “Funding Agreement”). One of the Company’s directors is a co-founder and current trustee of the Silverstein Foundation. Under the terms of the Funding Agreement, the Silverstein Foundation will partially fund the preclinical research, development work, and Phase 2 clinical trial expenses (the “Research”) to be conducted and borne by the Company in connection with the development of RTB101, alone or in combination with other products (the “Product”). Upon execution of the Funding Agreement, the Silverstein Foundation paid the Company an upfront sum of $0.5 million (the “Funding Amount”). The Company is entitled to use the Funding Amount solely to conduct the Research and is obligated to repay the Funding Amount in full to the Silverstein Foundation if it successfully conducts a positive Phase 3 clinical trial of the Product for Parkinson’s Disease. The Company is solely responsible for commencing and conducting the Research and will furnish periodic progress updates to the Silverstein Foundation throughout the term of the Funding Agreement. After completing the Research, the Company must provide the Silverstein Foundation with a formal report describing the work performed and the results of the Research. The Company recognizes proceeds received from the Silverstein Foundation as a reduction to research and development expenses, rather than as revenue, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss because the corresponding Funding Agreement does not contain specified performance obligations other than to conduct research on a particular program or in a particular field and no obligations to deliver specified products or technology. For funds received under the Funding Agreement, the Company recognizes a reduction in research and development expenses in an amount equal to the qualifying expenses incurred in each period up to the amount funded by the Silverstein Foundation. Funding that has been received by the Company in advance of incurring qualifying expenses is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as funding advance. No qualifying expenses were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of March 31, 2019, $0.5 million qualifying expenses have been incurred. Therefore, all amounts received have been recorded as a reduction of the research and development expense. |

Stock-Based Compensation | 9. Stock-based Compensation In 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). Under the 2017 Plan, a total of 537,914 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for the issuance of stock options to employees, directors, and consultants under terms and provisions established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). In connection with the Company’s initial public offering completed in January 2018, the Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”), which became effective on the date immediately preceding the date on which the Company’s registration statement became effective. The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards. The Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to receive awards under the 2018 Plan. The number of shares of common stock that were reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan were 2,200,260 shares. The 2018 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2019, by 4% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by the Board. On January 1, 2019, as a result of the foregoing evergreen provision, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan automatically increased from 2,200,260 to 3,322,473 shares. Since the date of effectiveness of the 2018 Plan, the Company has not and will not grant any further awards under the 2017 Plan. However, any shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2017 Plan that expire, terminate, or otherwise are surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased without having been fully exercised or resulting in any common stock being issued will become available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Stock-based Compensation Expense Total stock-based compensation expense is recognized for stock options granted to employees and non-employees and has been reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated condensed statements of operations as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Research and development $ 277 $ 625 General and administrative 386 556 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 663 $ 1,181 Stock Options The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plans: Shares Available for Grant Number of Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Exercise Price per Option Weighted- Average Remaining Contract Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands) Outstanding, December 31, 2018 1,350,582 1,122,677 $ 11.63 9.22 Shares reserved for issuance 1,122,213 Options granted (1) (604,440 ) 604,440 8.58 Options cancelled 20,800 (20,800 ) 9.91 Outstanding, March 31, 2019 1,889,155 1,706,317 10.57 9.30 $ 627 Exercisable, March 31, 2019 194,221 11.62 8.70 202 Vested and expected to vest, March 31, 2019 1,706,317 10.57 9.30 627 (1) The Company granted 9,840 stock options to non-employees during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The aggregate intrinsic values of options outstanding, exercisable, vested and expected to vest were calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of March 31, 2019. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted options to employees and directors to purchase an aggregate of 594,600 common shares with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $6.65 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted options to non-employees to purchase an aggregate of 9,840 common shares with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $5.79 per share. The expense related to options granted to employees and directors for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.6 million. The expense related to options granted to non-employees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $7,000. The expense related to options granted to employees, directors and non-employees was $0.3 million and $3,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options granted to employees and directors was $10.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of 3.30 years. As of March 31, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested non-employee options was $0.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of 2.99 years. The fair value of stock options for employees and non-employees was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Employees: Fair value of common stock $8.53 - $8.90 $13.17 - $15.45 Expected term (in years) 6.1 5.8 - 6.6 Expected volatility 93.7% - 94.8% 76.1% - 77.7% Risk-free interest rate 2.5% - 2.6% 2.4% - 2.7% Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% Non-employees: Fair value of common stock $6.82 - $8.61 $9.58 - $15.45 Expected term (in years) 8.2 - 10.0 9.2 - 10.0 Expected volatility 91.3% - 94.9% 77.9% - 78.1% Risk-free interest rate 2.4% - 2.6% 2.7% - 2.8% Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% Restricted Stock On April 17, 2018, the Company granted 2,000 shares of restricted stock to a consultant. The restrictions will lapse in four equal quarterly installments and will be fully vested on the first anniversary of such grant. Compensation expenses of such unvested shares will be remeasured at fair value until vested at each reporting date. The summary of restricted stock activity and related information follows: Number of Restricted Shares Outstanding Unvested shares — December 31, 2018 1,000 Vested (500 ) Unvested shares — March 31, 2019 500 The Company recognized $1,000 and $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to restricted shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, there was $159 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock. This amount is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 0.05 years. There were no restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Restricted Stock Units In May 2018, the Company granted 24,960 restricted stock units to an employee with a grant date fair value of $9.03 per share. The summary of restricted stock unit activity and related information follows: Number of Restricted Stock Units Outstanding Unvested shares — December 31, 2018 24,960 Granted — Vested — Unvested shares — March 31, 2019 24,960 The Company recognized $14,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, there was $0.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units. This amount is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.14 years. There were no restricted stock units granted to employees or non-employees during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2018 ESPP”), which became effective on the date immediately preceding the date on which the Company’s registration statement became effective. The 2018 ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a discount. The number of shares of common stock that are reserved for issuance under the 2018 ESPP are 275,030 shares. The 2018 ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2019 and increasing each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2028, by the least of (i) 1% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding December 31; (ii) 543,926 shares or (iii) such number of shares as determined by the ESPP administrator. On January 1, 2019, as a result of the foregoing evergreen provision, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 ESPP automatically increased from 275,030 to 555,583 shares. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Share | 11. Net Loss per Share The Company computes basic and diluted losses per share using a methodology that gives effect to the impact of outstanding participating securities (the “two-class” method). Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of share-based awards. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, convertible preferred stock, and unvested restricted common stock. As the Company had net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there is no income allocation required under the two-class method or dilution attributed to weighted average shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect (in common stock equivalent shares): As of March 31, 2019 2018 Options issued and outstanding 1,706,317 667,590 Total 1,706,317 667,590 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2019 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any other interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of resTORbio, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, resTORbio Securities Corp. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of any expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to accrued liabilities, income taxes, and stock-based compensation expense. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, and on various other market-specific relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the notes thereto, which are included in the 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. The authoritative accounting guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable. These levels of inputs are as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2019 (in thousands): Active Observable Unobservable March 31, Markets Inputs Inputs Description 2019 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Cash $ 31 $ 31 $ — $ — Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents) 7,150 7,150 — — U.S. treasury securities (included in marketable securities) 135,910 135,910 — — Total $ 143,091 $ 143,091 $ — $ — The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2018 (in thousands): Active Observable Unobservable December 31, Markets Inputs Inputs Description 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents) $ 6,804 $ 6,804 $ — $ — U.S. treasury securities (included in cash and cash equivalents) 238 238 — — U.S. treasury securities (included in marketable securities) 100,986 100,986 — — Total $ 108,028 $ 108,028 $ — $ — There have been no changes to the valuation methods utilized by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
