Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization and Liquidity	Note 1—Organization and Liquidity Organization Taxus Cardium sp was incorporated in Delaware in December 2003. We are a holding company that operates a medical technologies portfolio of equity-based and potential royalty-driven investments as follows: (1) Angionetics, currently a majority-owned subsidiary focused on the late-stage clinical development and commercialization of Generx®, an angiogenic gene therapy product candidate designed for medical revascularization for the potential treatment of patients with myocardial ischemia and refractory angina due to advanced coronary artery disease; (2) Activation Therapeutics a wholly owned subsidiary focused on the development and commercialization of the Excellagen® technology platform, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared flowable dermal matrix for advanced wound care that has we believe broad potential applications as a delivery platform for small molecule drugs, proteins and biologics; (3) LifeAgain a wholly-owned subsidiary that has developed, an advanced medical data analytics (ADAPT®) technology platform focused on developing new and innovative products for the life insurance and healthcare sectors; and (4) a minority investment in Healthy Brands Collective, a functional food and nutraceutical company which acquired the Company’s To Go Brands® business. Formation of Angionetics Inc. Angionetics, a biotechnology company, incorporated by Taxus Cardium on April 13, 2015, was formed to create a separate company to develop Taxus Cardium’s Generx® cardiovascular gene therapy product candidate and technology platform. Our management team believes that the Generx® platform is undervalued in the current Taxus Cardium capital structure and believes that contributing the Generx® business to a separate entity will increase the opportunities for financing the continued development of Generx® through Phase III clinical trials. Taxus Cardium contributed to Angionetics all of the rights to our Generx® platform technology and will sell shares in Angionetics in order to raise capital based on a valuation of the Generx® platform technology for the purpose of funding the development and commercialization of Generx®. Our management also believes that funding for Generx® as a stand-alone company can be done at better pricing, resulting in less dilution and a “value unlock” for Taxus Cardium shareholders. The Company intends to retain a significant interest in Angionetics and return value to shareholders based on an increased value of its holdings through the independent external market valuation of Angionetics and the Generx® platform technology. Following the formation of Angionetics, our management team initiated a comprehensive review of the global Generx® regulatory and clinical dossier, and elected to primarily focus on the clinical advancement and registration of Generx® in the United States and China, which we believe to be the most dynamic medical markets in the world for new and novel breakthrough products such as the Generx® product candidate. As a result of this review, Angionetics now plans to focus on the late stage clinical and commercial development of Generx® in key target markets that include the U.S. and China. LifeAgain Activities On August 11, 2015, Symetra Financial Corporation (“Symetra”), our financial partner for LifeAgain initial Blue Metric term life insurance program for men with prostate cancer, announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement with Sumitomo Life Insurance Company (“Sumitomo Life”) pursuant to which Sumitomo Life will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Symetra. Following the transaction, Symetra advised the Company that it was discontinuing its partnership with LifeAgain. LifeAgain plans to continue to seek opportunities for the application of medical analytics to commercialize “survivable risk” term life insurance for cancer survivors or others with medical conditions who are currently considered uninsurable based on traditional underwriting standards as well as other forms of survivable risk programs. On April 4, 2015, Taxus Cardium entered into a license agreement with Shenzhen Qianhi Taxus Industry Capital Management Co., Ltd., a company affiliated with Shanxi Taxus Pharamaceuticals Co. Ltd., for the license of LifeAgain’s medical analytics technology to develop and commercialize survivable risk life insurance products in Greater China. Liquidity and Going Concern As of September 30, 2015, we had $18,217 in cash and cash equivalents. Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2015 was $3,370,406. We anticipate that negative cash flow from operations will continue for the foreseeable future. We have yet to generate positive cash flows from operations, and are essentially dependent on equity and debt funding to finance our operations. We do not have any unused credit facilities. As long as any shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, we have agreed that we will not, without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, incur indebtedness other than specified “Permitted Indebtedness”, or incur any liens other than specified “Permitted Liens”. Our history of recurring losses, and uncertainties as to whether the Company’s operations will become profitable, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We intend to secure additional working capital through sales of equity securities and debt to finance our operations, or the sale of certain equity interests in the Company businesses, technology platforms, products or product candidates and licensing agreements covering the marketing and sale of Excellagen and Generx in certain geographic markets and regions. On April 4, 2015, we entered into a binding term sheet with Shenzhen Qianhai Taxus Industry Capital Management Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Qianhai Taxus”), as a lead investor, to purchase an equity stake in Angionetics. Under the terms of the agreement, Shenzhen Qianhai Taxus agreed to acquire 15% of Angionetics’ outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, payable in three tranches with the final payment due by May 31, 2015. Shenzhen Qianhai Taxus paid $600,000, but did not complete the transaction. See (Note 7)—Subsequent Events below. The $600,000 investment has been recorded as Subscribed shares issuable – common stock.
