Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the valuation of share-based awards, the discount rate used in estimating the present value of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, clinical trial accruals and the assessment of our ability to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are assessed each reporting period and updated to reflect current information. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may materially differ from those estimates or assumptions. |

Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by our chief operating decision-maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The CODM views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Deposits in our checking and money market accounts are maintained in federally insured financial institutions and are subject to federally insured limits or limits set by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. We attempt to minimize credit risk associated with our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments by periodically evaluating the credit quality of our primary financial institutions. Our investment portfolio is maintained in accordance with our investment policy, which is designed to preserve capital, safeguard funds and limit exposure to risk. While we maintain cash deposits in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits, we do not believe that we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Short-term Investments | Short-term Investments Short-term investments are marketable securities with original maturities greater than three months but less than one year from date of purchase. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, our short-term investments consisted of $54.3 million and $83.8 million, respectively, in United States government securities. The short-term investments held as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 are considered to be held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the gross unrealized gains and losses were immaterial. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dividends | Dividends Due to our history of net losses, we have elected to first reduce our additional paid-in capital (APIC) to zero by the amount of dividends/return of capital approved by our Board. Any dividends/return of capital approved by our Board, in excess of our APIC, if any, will be recorded as an adjustment to our accumulated deficit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenues from Customers In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), we recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For enforceable contracts with our customers, we first identify the distinct performance obligations, or accounting units, within the contract. Performance obligations are commitments in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Payments received under commercial arrangements, such as licensing technology rights, may include non-refundable fees at the inception of the arrangements, milestone payments for specific achievements designated in the agreements, and royalties on the sale of products. At the inception of arrangements that include milestone payments, we use judgment to evaluate whether the milestones are probable of being achieved, and we estimate the amount, if any, to include in the transaction price using the most likely method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur, the estimated amount is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within our or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not included in the transaction price until those approvals are received. At the end of each reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of achievement of development milestones and any related constraint and, as necessary, we adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. We may enter into arrangements that consist of multiple performance obligations. Such arrangements may include any combination of our deliverables. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised deliverables, we apply judgment to determine whether promised deliverables are capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised deliverables are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. For arrangements with multiple distinct performance obligations, we allocate variable consideration related to our 50-50 cost share for development services directly to the associated performance obligation and then allocate the remaining consideration among the performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling price. Stand-alone selling price is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to the customer. When not directly observable, we typically estimate the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Variable consideration that relates specifically to our efforts to satisfy specific performance obligations is allocated entirely to those performance obligations. Other components of the transaction price are allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling price, over which management has applied significant judgment. We develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for license-related performance obligations, which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical, regulatory and commercial success. We estimate stand-alone selling price for research and development performance obligations by forecasting the expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation plus an appropriate margin. In the case of a license that is a distinct performance obligation, we recognize revenue allocated to the license from non-refundable, up-front fees at the point in time when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee can use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other distinct or combined obligations, we use judgment to assess the nature of the performance obligation to determine whether the performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. If the performance obligation is satisfied over time, we evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. Revenue is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation (an input method under Topic 606). We use judgment to estimate the total cost expected to complete the research and development performance obligations, which include subcontractors’ costs, labor, materials, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs. We evaluate these cost estimates and the progress each reporting period and, as necessary, we adjust the measure of progress and related revenue recognition. For arrangements that include sales-based or usage-based royalties, we recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied. To date, we have not recognized any sales-based or usage-based royalty revenue from license agreements. In connection with our April 2020 Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (KKC) License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the KKC Commercialization Agreement) described in Note 7. License Agreements, we performed development services related to our 50-50 cost sharing arrangement for which revenue was recognized over time. Additionally, from time to time, we performed services for KKC at their request, the costs of which were fully reimbursed to us. We recorded the reimbursement for such pass-through services as revenue at 100% of reimbursed costs, as control of the additional services for KKC was transferred at the time we incurred such costs. The costs of these services are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as research and development expense. The cost of these services was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as research and development expense. We recognized revenue associated with the KKC Commercialization Agreement for the periods presented (in thousands):
Contract Balances Accounts receivables are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and contract liabilities are included in deferred revenue and deferred revenue, long-term, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our contract liabilities accounted for under Topic 606 relate to the amount of initial upfront consideration allocated to the development services performance obligations. Contract liabilities are recognized over the duration of the performance obligations based on the costs incurred relative to total expected costs. As of December 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we had no balances in accounts receivable. Contract balances are as follows (in thousands):
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of contract liabilities, which are primarily related to the combined performance obligation for the transfer of development services under the KKC Commercialization Agreement, which are a separate performance obligation in the Company’s contracts pursuant to research plans under the agreements, was as follows for the periods presented, (in thousands):
The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue (contract liabilities). We invoice our customers in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, typically at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Invoicing may occur subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled receivables. We may receive advance payments from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. The unbilled receivables and deferred revenue reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the KKC Commercialization Agreement. Revenues from Collaborators At contract inception, we assess whether the collaboration arrangements are within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808), to determine whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. This assessment is performed based on the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement. For collaboration arrangements within the scope of Topic 808 that contain multiple units of account, we first determine which units of account within the arrangement are within the scope of Topic 808 and which elements are within the scope of Topic 606. For units of account within collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to Topic 808, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, by analogy to authoritative accounting literature. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to Topic 606, we recognize revenue as discussed above. Consideration received that does not meet the requirements to satisfy Topic 606 revenue recognition criteria is recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, classified as either current or long-term deferred revenue based on our best estimate of when such amounts will be recognized. |

Net Income (Loss) Per Share | Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less any shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture. There were no shares of common stock subject to repurchase or forfeiture for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their weighted-average exercise prices were above our weighted-average share price as of December 31, 2023; therefore, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were the same for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. For purposes of the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were the same for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. The following table presents potentially dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncement | Recent Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), as amended. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require, among other things, financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected as compared to previous U.S. GAAP which delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures. We do not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recently Issued From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that are adopted as of the specified effective date. We believe the impact of recently issued standards, other than those noted below, and any issued but not yet effective standards will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. This ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity (PBE) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For PBEs, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all period presented. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. |
