| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
| Interim Financial Statements [Policy Text Block] | Interim Financial Statements The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2013. |
|
| Basis Of Accounting [Policy Text Block] | Basis of presentation The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and while planned principal operations have commenced there has been no revenue generated from sales, license fees or royalties; accordingly the Company is considered a development stage enterprise. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance related to a development stage enterprise and which provides that financial position, results of operations and cash flows of a development stage enterprise be presented in conformity with GAAP that apply to established operating enterprises. |
|
| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the useful life of fixed assets and assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation. |
|
| Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and development costs The Company outsources its research and development efforts and expenses these costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing products for testing, licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired was expensed in 2007 and 2010 as research and development costs, as it related to particular research and development projects and had no alternative future uses. |
|
| Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income taxes Income tax provisions or benefits for interim periods are computed based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on the Company's historical losses and its expectation of continuation of losses for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. As the Company anticipates or anticipated that its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 would be fully offset by a valuation allowance, there is no federal or state income tax benefit for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 related to losses incurred during such periods. |
|
| Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Per share data Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock, adjusted to give effect to a 20-for-1 reverse stock split (see Note 3). As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,421,600 and 369,515 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6). In addition, the Company has issued to employees, options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock of which 376,500 and 175,000 were outstanding at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively (see Note 5). In computing diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no effect has been given to such options and warrants as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
