| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodiak Sciences Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2026. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, accrued research and development and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Risk and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties Global economic and business activities continue to face widespread macroeconomic uncertainties, including as a result of health epidemics, labor shortages, bank failures, inflation and monetary supply shifts, tariffs, recession risks and potential disruptions from geopolitical conflicts. The Company continues to actively monitor the impact of these macroeconomic factors on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, and workforce. The extent of the impact of these factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute its business strategies and initiatives in the expected timeframe, will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted; however, any continued or renewed disruption resulting from these factors could negatively impact the Company’s business. The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties common to clinical stage companies in the biotechnology industry. The Company’s product candidates are in development and the Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of results of clinical trials and reaching milestones, uncertainty of regulatory approval of the Company’s potential drug candidates, uncertainty of market acceptance of any of the Company’s product candidates that receive regulatory approval, competition from new technological innovations, substitute products and larger companies, securing and protecting proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals and vendors. Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any of the Company’s product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed or the Company is unable to maintain approvals, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses for the next several years and will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete clinical trials, launch and commercialize any product candidates for which it receives regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or will be on terms acceptable by the Company. |
| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as noted below within the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” section. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
