Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations Description of the business MacroGenics, Inc. (the Company) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative antibody-based therapeutics designed to modulate the human immune response for the treatment of cancer. The Company has a pipeline of product candidates being evaluated in clinical trials sponsored by MacroGenics or its collaborators. These product candidates include multiple oncology programs, some of which were created primarily using the Company’s proprietary, antibody-based technology platforms. The Company believes our product candidates have the potential, if approved for marketing by regulatory authorities, to have a meaningful effect on treating patients' unmet medical needs as monotherapy or, in some cases, in combination with other therapeutic agents. In March 2021, the Company and its commercialization partner commenced U.S. marketing of MARGENZA (margetuximab-cmkb), a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptor antagonist indicated, in combination with chemotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2 regimens, at least one of which was for metastatic disease. Liquidity The Company’s multiple product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts that include extensive preclinical studies and clinical testing, and regulatory approval prior to commercial use. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to identify and develop its product candidates, and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. The Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to research and development and general and administrative expense to support such research and development. Net losses and negative cash flows have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s stockholders’ equity and working capital, and accordingly, its ability to execute its future operating plans. As a biotechnology company, the Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of its common stock in equity offerings, revenue from its multiple collaboration agreements, and contracts from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Management regularly reviews the Company’s available liquidity relative to its operating budget and forecast to monitor the sufficiency of the Company’s working capital. The Company plans to meet its future operating requirements by generating revenue from current and future strategic collaborations or other arrangements, product sales and royalties. The Company anticipates continuing to draw upon available sources of capital, including equity and debt instruments, to support its product development activities. If the Company is unable to enter into new arrangements or to perform under current or future agreements or obtain additional capital, the Company will assess its capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its product research and development programs or clinical studies, reduce other operating expenses, and/or downsize its organization. Based on the Company’s most recent cash flow forecast, the Company believes its current resources are sufficient to fund its operating plans for a minimum of twelve months from the date that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed. Similar to the other risk factors pertinent to the Company's business, geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed against Russia, and related global slowdown of economic activity, decades-high inflation, rising interest rates, adverse events involving financial institutions or the financial services industry and a potential recession in the United States might unfavorably impact the Company's ability to generate such additional funding. Given the uncertainty in the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to these uncertainties, the Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of these uncertainties on its business and financial position.
