Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim unaudited financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the condensed financial statements not misleading.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2018 included in our Form S-1 filed with the SEC on October 7, 2019 (“Form S-1”).  Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form S-1, have been omitted.

Going Concern

Going Concern - These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. On November 13, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 2,125,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $4.00 per share, followed shortly by the exercise of the over-allotment option issued to the underwriter which resulted in an additional 318,750 shares of common stock being issued at the IPO price of $4.00 per share. Management believes that the proceeds from the IPO and its cash on hand are sufficient to fund its planned operations beyond the near term. These factors alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as previously reported.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash - The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash are funds related to the SAFE agreements that will not be released to the Company until successfully acquiring the patent rights from HPI and upon the Company’s spending on Phase II clinical trials of an amount equal to at least half of the escrow funds prior to December 28, 2019. The Company successfully met the release requirements of the restricted cash upon the closing of the IPO on November 13, 2019 and as such the funds have now been released to the Company

Loss Per Common Share

Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares and options, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included notes convertible into 200,000 common shares, warrants to purchase 3,837,880 common shares, and options to purchase 1,564,500 common shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares and options, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included notes convertible into 4,260,942 common shares, warrants to purchase 1,220,059 common shares, and options to purchase 675,000 common shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements due to the lack of lease agreements for the Company at this time.
