| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed financial statements and related disclosures. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of stock-based compensation awards, the assessment of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, lease-related assumptions, including the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used in measuring lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, and other estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the accompanying condensed financial statements.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis, and revisions are recognized in the period in which the facts and circumstances giving rise to the revisions become known. |

| Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances with financial institutions and invests a portion of its excess cash in certificates of deposit that are presented as investments in the accompanying condensed balance sheet. Cash deposits and investments may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits.
The Company’s investment policy is designed to preserve principal by diversifying investments among multiple financial institutions, with individual certificates generally limited to approximately the applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Management periodically monitors the creditworthiness of the financial institutions holding the Company’s deposits and issuing its certificates of deposit and believes that the Company is not exposed to significant concentrations of credit risk. |

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
At June 30, 2026, the Company held approximately $2.0 million of certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than 90 days and less than a year, which are presented as investments in the accompanying condensed balance sheet and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to short-term nature. Interest receivable on these investments is presented separately in the accompanying condensed balance sheet. The estimated fair value would be categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025. |

| Preferred Stock | Preferred Stock
The Company accounts for its preferred stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 480-10-S99 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Preferred stock that is mandatorily redeemable is classified as a liability. Preferred stock that is conditionally redeemable or redeemable upon events not solely within the Company’s control is classified as temporary equity. Preferred stock that is neither mandatorily redeemable nor conditionally redeemable is classified as permanent equity.
The Company’s outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is classified within stockholders’ equity because it is not mandatorily redeemable and the Company concluded that its embedded conversion and other features do not require separate accounting as derivative instruments under ASC 815. |

| Net Loss per Common Share | Net Loss per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260-10 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Because the Company reported a net loss for each period presented, all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive and, accordingly, diluted net loss per common share equals basic net loss per common share.
The following tables reconcile net loss to net loss attributable to common stockholders:
Subsequent to the filing of the Company's financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, management identified an error in the calculation of net loss attributable to common stockholders used in determining basic and diluted loss per share. The error resulted from the omission of undeclared dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of $498,670 and $991,860 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The amounts presented in the table above have been revised to reflect the correct net loss attributable to common stockholders for those periods.
In addition, the Company did not appropriately reflect the impact of the 1-for-5.92 reverse stock split that became effective on September 29, 2025. In accordance with ASC 260, all share and per-share amounts for periods presented should have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. As a result, weighted-average common shares outstanding were previously reported as 41,104,826 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, but should have been reported as 6,943,383. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share was previously reported as $0.03 and $0.05 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, but should have been reported as $0.17 and $0.32.
The following potential dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:
The Company has outstanding Series C convertible preferred shares that are convertible into common stock at a conversion rate determined by the market price of the Company's common stock on the conversion date as described under the terms of the agreement. Because the conversion rate is variable, the number of shares issuable upon conversion cannot be determined until the conversion date. These securities were excluded from the table above and the computation of diluted net loss per share for the period presented because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. |

| Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development reimbursements are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research and development costs. The Company incurred research and development costs of $503,020 and $685,167 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $146,901 and $316,605 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. |
