Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of estimates

a. Use of estimates:

 

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     
    Significant estimates include the determination of the fair value of warrant liabilities, which are measured using valuation models that require assumptions such as share price volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rates. Changes in these inputs could materially impact the valuation of the warrant liability and the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 
Prepaid expenses

b. Prepaid expenses

 

    The Company has prepaid certain expenses in respect of its pivotal phase III trial and estimates the period over which such expenses will be incurred. Amounts estimated to be expenses in more than 12 months have been classified to long-term prepaid expenses.

 
The useful life of property and equipment

c. The useful life of property and equipment

 

    Property and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the assets will be used which are periodically reviewed for continued appropriateness. Changes to estimates can result in significant variations in the amounts charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in specific periods.

 
Investment equity method

d. Investment equity method:

 

    Investments in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method, with the Company’s share of losses reported in the loss from equity method investments on the statements of operation and comprehensive loss. The Company has a 69% interest in BC Therapeutics. Management evaluates whether it has control over the investee in accordance with the guidance of ASC 810, which requires judgment to assess factors such as power over significant activities of the investee, exposure to variable returns, and the ability to affect those returns. Based on this evaluation, management determines whether control or significant influence is present for accounting purposes.

 
Segment reporting

e. Segment reporting:

 

    The Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis and operates as one reportable segment. The Company’s operations are focused on the research and development of its immunotherapy product candidates and related supporting activities. The Chief Executive Officer is identified as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”).
     
    The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those used in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The CODM evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources using consolidated financial information, including net loss and cash flow forecasts. The Company’s significant expenses, which consist primarily of research and development and general and administrative expenses, are consistent with the captions presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 
Share-based compensation

f. Share-based compensation:

 

    The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods, which is the vesting period of the respective award, on a straight-line basis when the only condition to vesting is continued service.
     
    The Company has selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its option awards. The Company recognizes forfeitures of equity-based awards as they occur. Restricted share units use the share price on the grant date to determine the fair value of the restricted share unit award.
     
    For performance-based stock units (“PSUs”) that do not contain market conditions, the Company measures the grant-date fair value using the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost for these awards is recognized over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest. Management evaluates the probability of achieving the applicable performance conditions each reporting period and adjusts the expense recognition accordingly.
     
    As of the date of this report, the Company has issued stock options, RSUs, and PSUs that do not contain market conditions.

 
Recently issued and adopted accounting standards

g. Recently issued and adopted accounting standards:

 

    As an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election. The pronouncements below relate to standards that impact the Company.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  1. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 - Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This standard amends the guidance issued in 2024 to confirm that all public business entities must present the required expense-disaggregation disclosures in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The ASU is effective for years beginning after those dates, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. Because the amendment only affects disclosure timing, the Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
     
  2. In June 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03 - Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in a Variable-Interest Entity. This standard clarifies that when a business combination is effected primarily by exchanging equity interests and the legal acquiree is a variable-interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the definition of a business, entities must identify the accounting acquirer using the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15, rather than relying solely on the VIE consolidation model. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2026, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and disclosures.
