Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has been able to fund its cash needs to date through an initial funding from its founders, four private placements, an initial public offering (IPO), a government grant and five registered direct equity offerings via shelf registrations statements to institutional investors. See Note 9. Capital Resources The Company is currently involved in the following product development activities: (i) the Company is jointly conducting with the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Veterans Administration (VA) a U.S. Phase II(b) clinical trial evaluating CPP-109 for the treatment of cocaine addiction (and, based on current information, the Company expects to obtain top line results from this trial early in the first quarter of 2013); and (ii) the Company is conducting a Phase I(a) clinical study evaluating the safety of CPP-115 in healthy volunteers (and, based on current information, the Company expects to obtain the results from this trial during the second quarter of 2012). Further, based on currently available information, the Company also estimates that it has sufficient working capital to support its operations through the end of the first quarter of 2013. The Company will require additional capital to fund clinical and pre-clinical studies of CPP-109 and CPP-115 other than those described above and to support the Company's operations in periods after the first quarter of 2013. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register for sale 10,500,000 units of its securities, with each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase up to one-half of a share of the Company's common stock. The Company's registration statement became effective on May 7, 2012. To date, no shares of common stock or warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been sold under the Company's Form S-1 registration statement. See Note 12. The Company may raise in the future additional required funds through public or private equity offerings (including through its recently filed Form S-1 registration statement and its 2010 Shelf Registration Statement described in Note 9 below), debt financings, corporate collaborations, governmental research grants or other means. The Company may also seek to raise new capital to fund additional product development efforts, even if it has sufficient funds for its planned operations. Any sale by the Company of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to the Company's current stockholders. There can be no assurance that any such required additional funding will be available to the Company at all or available on terms acceptable to the Company. Further, to the extent that the Company raises additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to the Company's technologies or grant sublicenses on terms that are not favorable to the Company. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding when needed, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more research and development programs, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business.

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full 2012 fiscal year.
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
As of March 31, 2012, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 3,479,108 shares of common stock, of which stock options to purchase 3,059,108 shares of common stock were exercisable as of March 31, 2012.
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows:
Potentially dilutive options to purchase common stock as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 have exercise prices ranging from $0.69 to $6.00 and $0.62 to $6.00, respectively. Potentially dilutive warrants to purchase common stock as of March 31, 2012 have an exercise price of $1.30.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | ||||
Fair Value Measurements |
Warrants The Company allocated approximately $1.3 million of proceeds from its October 2011 registered direct offering to the fair value of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the offering that are classified as a liability. The valuation of the warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes Model. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has determined that the warrants liability should be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the Black-Scholes Model against the fair value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair value classification. There are six inputs: closing price of the Company's common stock on the day of evaluation; the exercise price of the warrants; the remaining term of the warrants; the volatility of the Company's common stock; annual rate of dividends; and the risk free rate of return. Of those inputs, the exercise price of the warrants and the remaining term are readily observable in the warrants agreement. The annual rate of dividends is based on the Company's historical practice of not granting dividends. The closing price of the Company's common stock would fall under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as it is a quoted price in an active market. The risk free rate of return is a Level 2 input, while the historical volatility is a Level 3 input in accordance with the fair value accounting guidance. Since the lowest level input is a Level 3, the Company determined the warrants liability is most appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This liability is subject to fair value mark-to-market adjustment each period. The assumptions used for the December 31, 2011 warrants liability valuation were an expected life of 5.34 years, expected annual volatility of 119% and a risk free rate of 0.92%. The assumptions used for the March 31, 2012 warrants liability valuation were an expected life of 5.09 years, expected annual volatility of 118% and a risk free rate of 1.06%. As a result, the Company recognized the change in the fair value of the warrants liability as a non-operating income of approximately $274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The resulting fair value of the warrants liability at March 31, 2012 was approximately $1.4 million. |
