| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis Of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 28, 2016, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the year ended June 30, 2016. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. |

| Use Of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: estimated useful lives and impairment of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing and expected future operating losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

| Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block] |
Risks and Uncertainties The Company's operations may be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated with a preclinical stage company, including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters. |

| Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Fixed Assets Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. |

| Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other costs. These costs relate to research and development costs without an allocation of general and administrative expenses. |

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible notes payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The warrant derivative liability recorded as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 is recorded at an estimated fair value based on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrant derivative liability is a level 3 fair value measurement with the entire change in the balance recorded through earnings. See significant assumptions in Note 9. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. We will be required to perform the going concern assessment under ASU 2014-15 beginning with the year ending June 30, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively but may also be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We adopted the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2016. The new provisions did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which is intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets by eliminating the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The changes are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2016. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for us starting on July 1, 2018, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We will be required to adopt ASU 2016-02 starting on July 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this ASU starting on July 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. |
