| 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 15, 2018, which contains the Company’s 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, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnote disclosures necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, and 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 three and six months ended December 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition and results of operations that may be expected for any future interim period or for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.

| Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is used to refer to net income (loss) plus other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that under U.S. GAAP are reported as separate components of stockholders' deficit instead of net income (loss). There are no differences between comprehensive loss and net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, estimated useful lives and impairment of fixed assets, fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, management’s assessment of going concern, 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 clinical stage company, including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters. |

| Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are initially measured at the lower of carrying amount or the fair value less cost to sell. A loss is recognized for any initial adjustment of the long-lived asset’s carrying amount in the period in which held for sale criteria are met.

| 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, clinical trial 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. An entity is required 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 are as follows:
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. Due to the complex and unique terms of the convertible notes payable discussed in Note 6 and the Exclusivity Payment discussed in Note 7, it was not reasonably practicable to determine the current fair value for those financial instruments.
The embedded derivative liability discussed in Note 6 is recorded at an estimated fair value based on the present value of the probability of the weighted exercise of the payment obligation. The embedded derivative liability is a level 3 fair value measurement with the entire change in the balance recorded through earnings each reporting period. As of December 31, 2018, the significant inputs to the calculation are a remaining term of one month and a weighted probability of zero percent.

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment , aimed at simplifying the accounting for share-based transactions. The standard included modifications to the accounting for income taxes upon vesting or settlement of equity awards, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits. The Company decided to maintain its current practice of recognizing forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation. ASU 2016-09 was effective for the Company on July 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 was effective for the Company on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03,
Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , that clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2016-1, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10). The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-9,
Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) : Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU includes guidance on what changes to share-based payment awards would require modification accounting and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption of the new provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires the Company to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Early adoption is permitted, and the new standard was required to be adopted retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented upon initial adoption. However, in July 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11
Targeted Improvements , which provides lessees the option to apply the new leasing standard to all open leases as of the adoption date by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the period of adoption without restating prior periods. The Company is still evaluating which transition approach will be implemented upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. This ASU is currently effective for the Company for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.
