Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||
Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for condensed financial information. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, that the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 4, 2024. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023. |

Principles of Consolidation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. |

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts of expenses during the reported years. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of stock-based compensation awards, purchase price allocation related to the Acquisition and the Private Placement Warrants fair value revaluation; estimates used in the IPR&D impairment assessment for calculating the fair value of the Company’s assets by using discounted cash flow incorporate the Company’s estimated post-tax weighted average cost of capital, amounts and timing of projected future cash flows that are influenced by the expected outcome of research and development activities, the probability of success and timing in gaining regulatory approval, size of the potential market and the Company’s specific market share. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. The full extent to which Israel’s war with Hamas and Hezbollah may directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. |

Business Combination |
The Company allocates the fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed in the acquired business is recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the consideration transferred included equity securities. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The cumulative impact of revisions during the measurement period is recognized in the reporting period in which the revisions are identified. The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the respective dates of Acquisition.

Financial instruments |
When the Company issues freestanding instruments, it first analyzes the provisions of ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” (“ASC 480”) in order to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in each period. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the provisions of ASC 815-10 in order to determine whether the instrument is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock and qualifies for classification within equity. When the Company issues preferred shares, it first considers the provisions of ASC 480, in order to determine whether the preferred shares should be classified as a liability. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the instrument’s characteristics in order to determine whether it should be classified within temporary equity (mezzanine) or within permanent equity in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480-10-S99. The Company reassesses the classification of a contract over its own equity under the guidance above at each balance sheet date. If classification changes as a result of events during the reporting period, the Company reclassifies the contract as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. See Note 1D regarding the reclassification of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares. When the Company issues warrants, it first considers the provisions of ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”) in order to determine whether the warrants should be classified as equity. Equity classification is permitted when warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares and meet the classification requirements for stockholders’ equity classification under ASC 815-40. If the warrants are not within the scope of ASC 815-40, the Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10A for further information regarding the Private Placement Warrants. |

Basic and diluted loss (earnings) per share |
Basic loss (earnings) per share is computed by dividing net loss (income) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, fully vested warrants with no exercise price for the Company’s Common Stock and fully vested Pre-Funded Warrants for the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, as the Company considers these shares to be exercised for little to no additional consideration. The calculation excludes shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. Diluted loss (income) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock had been issued, using the treasury stock and if-converted method, in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” The Company computes net loss (income) per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between shares of Common Stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considers its Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares to be participating securities as the holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities. |

Intangible Assets |
Goodwill Goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration transferred at the business combination date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required.
The Company’s goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, on the last day of the third quarter of the fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. When necessary, the Company records charges for impairments of goodwill for the amount by which the carrying amount of the respective reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment in the amount of $801. See note 12 for further information. Intangible assets IPR&D assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, on the last day of the third quarter of the fiscal year or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. |

Recent Accounting Standards |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. |
