- Definition Cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid Investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Short-term investments, exclusive of cash equivalents, generally consist of marketable securities intended to be sold within one year (or the normal operating cycle if longer) and may include trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities (if maturing within one year), as applicable.

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim condensed consolidated 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. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary funding to continue operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $472.0 million since inception and has not yet generated any revenue from operations. Additionally, the Company continues to expend cash to continue its research and development efforts. Management anticipates that its cash on hand as of June 30, 2019, grants and other cash inflows will be insufficient to fund its operations within one year from the financial statement issuance date and therefore, substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company may seek additional funding through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, commercialization, marketing and distribution arrangements, other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements and delay planned cash outlays or a combination thereof. Management cannot be certain that such events or a combination thereof can be achieved. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and follow the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and its results of operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, or the Annual Report. A copy of the Annual Report is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, under the Company’s ticker symbol “BLCM” or on Bellicum’s website, www.bellicum.com. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period. Any reference in these footnotes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, and Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry and the future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to successfully complete the development of, and obtain regulatory approval for, its product candidates, manage the growth of the organization, obtain additional financing necessary in order to develop, launch and commercialize its product candidates, and compete successfully with other companies in its industry. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Consolidation All financial information presented includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition The Company has not yet generated any revenue from product sales. The Company’s source of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 has been from grants. When grant funds are received after costs have been incurred, the Company accrues revenue and records a grant receivable. Cash received from grants in advance of incurring qualifying costs is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when qualifying costs are incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investment Securities Consistent with its investment policy, the Company invests its cash allocated to fund its short-term liquidity requirements with prominent financial institutions in bank depository accounts and institutional money market funds. The Company invests the remainder of its cash in corporate debt securities and municipal bonds rated at least A quality or equivalent, U.S. Treasury notes and bonds and U.S. and state government agency-backed securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investment securities based on whether they represent the investment of funds available for current operations, as defined in ASC 210-10-45-1 and ASC 210-10-45-2. The Company reevaluates its classification as of each balance sheet date. All investment securities owned are classified as available-for-sale. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Investment securities are recorded as of each balance sheet date at fair value, with unrealized gains and, to the extent deemed temporary, unrealized losses reported as accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity. Interest and dividend income on investment securities, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and realized gains and losses are included in interest income in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). An investment security is considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below its cost basis is determined to be other than temporary. The Company evaluates whether a decline in fair value of an investment security is below its cost basis is other than temporary using available evidence. In the event that the cost basis of the investment security exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the amount and duration of the period that the fair value is less than the cost basis, the financial health of and business outlook for the issuer, including industry and sector performance, and operational and financing cash flow factors, overall market conditions and trends, the Company’s intent to sell the investment security and whether it is more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the investment security before its anticipated recovery. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company records an impairment charge in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and establishes a new cost basis in the investment. Property and Equipment Leasehold improvements, furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term. Intangible Assets Non-refundable upfront payments related to a supply agreement with future benefits have been capitalized as an intangible asset, presented in other assets on the balance sheet and amortized over the term of the agreement. The amortization of the intangible asset is included in operating expenses. Debt Issuance Costs Costs related to debt issuance are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and are amortized using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs are included in interest expense. Operating Leases Operating leases are recognized as right-of-use, or ROU, assets and operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Any lease incentives received are deferred and recorded as a reduction of the ROU asset and amortized over the term of the lease. Rent expense, comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting standards include disclosure requirements around fair values used for certain financial instruments and establish a fair value hierarchy. The three-tier hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market, as described further in Note 5. The Company believes the recorded values of its financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Financial Instruments and Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited in demand accounts in federally insured domestic institutions to minimize risk. Insurance is provided through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Security Investor Protection Corporation. Although the balances in these accounts exceed the federally insured limit from time to time, the Company has not incurred losses related to these deposits. Equity Issuance Costs Equity issuance costs represent costs paid to third parties in order to obtain equity financing. These costs have been netted against the proceeds of the equity issuances. Licenses and Patents Licenses and patent costs for technologies that are utilized in research and development and have no alternative future use are expensed as incurred. Costs related to the license of patents from third parties and internally developed patents are classified as research and development expenses. Legal costs related to patent applications and maintenance are classified as general and administrative expenses. Clinical Trials The Company estimates its clinical trial expense accrual for a given period based on the number of patients enrolled at each site, estimated cost per patient, and the length of time each patient has been in the trial, less amounts previously billed. These accruals are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the related expense is recorded in research and development expense. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities, including compensation and benefits for research and development employees and consultants, facilities expenses, overhead expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, manufacturing expenses, fees paid to third parties and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial and other development costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the clinical trial or project and the invoices received from its external service providers. The Company estimates depend on the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by the vendors regarding the status of each project and total project spending. The Company adjusts its accrual as actual costs become known. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under research and development arrangements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone events are achieved. Collaboration Agreements The Company enters into collaboration agreements that include varying arrangements regarding which parties perform and bear the costs of research and development activities. The Company may share the costs of research and development activities with a collaborator, or the Company may be reimbursed for all or a significant portion of the costs of the Company's research and development activities. The Company records its internal and third-party development costs associated with these collaborations as research and development expenses. When the Company is entitled to reimbursement of all or a portion of the research and development expenses that it incurs under a collaboration, the Company records those reimbursable amounts as a deduction to the research and development expenses. The Company also recognizes, as research and development expenses in the period when its collaborator incurs development expenses, the portion of the collaborator's development expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse. Contract Manufacturing Services Contract manufacturing services are expensed as incurred. Prepaid expenses are capitalized and amortized as services are performed. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period the services are rendered. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. The fair value is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award on a straight-line basis. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period, from transactions, and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Components of comprehensive income (loss) includes, among other items, unrealized gains and losses on the changes in fair value of investments. These components are added, net of their related tax effect, to the reported net income (loss) to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, on the Company’s balance sheet was comprised of the net unrealized holding gains and losses on the Company’s investment securities and unrealized gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to foreign operations. See Note 5 for further detail of the unrealized holding gains and losses on the Company’s investment securities. Net Loss and Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented, as the effect of including such securities would be anti-dilutive.
Application of New Accounting Standards In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASC 842”) which requires companies that lease assets to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. ASC 842 provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to apply ASC 842 as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and has not restated comparative periods. The Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use of hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. |

| CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH | CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, the Company maintained $4.0 million and $5.0 million as restricted cash. During 2017, $4.2 million was received from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, or “CPRIT”, and the unreleased balance is being held in a separate account to be used for costs solely related to the CPRIT grant. Release of the CPRIT funds are subject to the terms of the grant agreement and requirements therein and require the authorization of CPRIT. To-date, CPRIT authorized the release of $1.7 million of restricted funds from the CPRIT account, leaving a balance of $2.5 million at June 30, 2019. For more information about the CPRIT grant, see Note 10. The remaining $1.5 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2019 is held in escrow to cover specific construction of manufacturing improvement costs related to the facility lease. The release of the escrowed funds is subject to the terms of the escrow agreement and requirements therein including approval by both the Company and the landlord based on authorized completion of certain aspects of the manufacturing improvements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows.
(1) As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company invested approximately $33.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in cash equivalent instruments. |

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fair Value Measurement The Company follows ASC, Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for application to financial assets. ASC 820 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and requires fair value financial statement disclosures. ASC 820 applies only to the measurement and disclosure of financial assets that are required or permitted to be measured and reported at fair value under other ASC topics (except for standards that relate to share-based payments such as ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation). The valuation techniques required by ASC 820 may be based on either observable or unobservable inputs.

| LEASES | LEASES The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating leases relate primarily to office space and manufacturing facilities with remaining lease terms of one year to seven years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years. Management considered the options in determining the lease term used to establish the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company entered into a lease agreement for office space and equipment in South San Francisco, California commencing in April 2019 and expiring in 2022. The Company recorded right-of-use assets of $1.2 million and leased assets of $0.2 million for the real estate and equipment components of the lease, respectively, and a corresponding lease liability of $1.4 million upon lease commencement. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company's incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date was used to determine the present value of lease payments. Components of lease cost are as follows:
Supplemental cash flow information and non-cash activity related to the Company's operating leases are as follows:
Weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for operating leases are as follows:
Maturities of lease liabilities by year for leases are as follows (in thousands):
As of December 31, 2018, minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases by period were expected to be as follows:

| SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has five share-based compensation plans, including the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan which was adopted in June 2019. Each plan authorizes the granting of shares of common stock and options to purchase common stock to employees and directors of the Company, as well as non-employee consultants, and allows the holder of the option to purchase common stock at a stated exercise price. Options vest according to the terms of the grant, which may be immediately or based on the passage of time, generally over four years, and have a term of up to 10 years. Unexercised stock options terminate on the expiration date of the grant. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. For a description of each of the plans in existence as of December 31, 2018, or the Prior Plans, refer to Note 11 to the audited financial statements included the Annual Report. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan, is designed to secure and retain the services of the Company’s employees and directors, provide incentives for employees and directors to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its affiliates, and provide a means by which employees and directors may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in the value of the Company’s common stock. The 2019 Plan is successor to and continuation of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, or the 2014 Plan, and no additional awards may be issued from the 2014 Plan. Subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company’s capitalization, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2019 Plan, or the Share Reserve, will not exceed the sum of (i) 2,500,000 new shares and (ii) the Prior Plans’ Returning Shares, as defined in the 2019 Plan documents, in an amount not to exceed 6,005,401 shares, including any stock award granted under the 2014 Plan, 2011 Stock Option Plan, as amended, or 2006 Stock Option Plan, as amended, that were outstanding as of the date the 2019 Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders, as such shares become available from time to time. The following shares of Common Stock, or the 2019 Plan Returning Shares, will also become available again for issuance under the 2019 Plan: (i) any shares subject to a stock award granted under the 2019 Plan that are not issued because such stock award expires or otherwise terminates without all of the shares covered by such stock award having been issued; (ii) any shares subject to a stock award granted under the 2019 Plan that are not issued because such stock award is settled in cash; and (iii) any shares issued pursuant to a stock award granted under the 2019 Plan that are forfeited back to or repurchased by the Company because of a failure to vest. The following shares of Common Stock will not become available again for issuance under the 2019 Plan: (i) any shares that are reacquired or withheld (or not issued) by the Company to satisfy the exercise, strike or purchase price of a stock award granted under the 2019 Plan or any Prior Plan (including any shares subject to such award that are not delivered because such award is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to such award); (ii) any shares that are reacquired or withheld (or not issued) by the Company to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with a stock award granted under the 2019 Plan or any Prior Plan; (iii) any shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise, strike or purchase price of a stock award granted under the 2019 Plan or any Prior Plan; and (iv) in the event that a stock appreciation right granted under the 2019 Plan or any Prior Plan is settled in shares, the gross number of shares subject to such award. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan will be reduced by: (i) one share for each share issued pursuant to a stock option or stock appreciation right with an exercise price that is at least 100% of the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant, or an Appreciation Award. granted under the 2019 Plan; and (ii) 1.25 shares for each share issued pursuant to a stock award that is not an Appreciation Award, or a Full Value Award, granted under the 2019 Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan will be increased by: (i) one share for each Prior Plans’ Returning Share or 2019 Plan Returning Share subject to an Appreciation Award; and (ii) 1.25 shares for each Prior Plans’ Returning Share or 2019 Plan Returning Share subject to a Full Value Award. The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards, and other stock awards. The following table summarizes the stock option activity for all stock plans during the six months ended June 30, 2019:
The following table summarizes the stock award activity for all stock plans during the six months ended June 30, 2019:
2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, provides for eligible Company employees, as defined by the ESPP, to be given an opportunity to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount, through payroll deductions, with stock purchases being made upon defined purchase dates. The ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to participating employees and allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a 15% discount from the lesser of the grant date or purchase date fair market value. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 there were 40,000 and 13,779 shares purchased by the ESPP, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there were 374,637 shares available for issuance under the ESPP.
Share-Based Compensation Expense The valuation of the share-based compensation awards is a significant accounting estimate that requires the use of judgments and assumptions that are likely to have a material impact on the financial statements. The fair value of option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and the estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of the options is based on the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. As the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior, the expected term is calculated as the midpoint between the weighted-average vesting term and the contractual expiration period also known as the simplified method. The fair value of the option grants has been estimated, with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Share-based compensation expense by classification for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
At June 30, 2019, total compensation cost not yet recognized was $14.9 million and the weighted-average period over which this amount is expected to be recognized is 2.51 years. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Miltenyi Supply Agreement On March 27, 2019, Bellicum entered into a strategic, long-term supply agreement with Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, or Miltenyi, for the supply of Miltenyi’s CliniMACS tubing set, reagents and disposables for the manufacture of Bellicum’s programmed T cell therapies for preclinical and clinical use and, if approved, for commercial use, as well as support services. Under the supply agreement, Bellicum is required to make non-refundable upfront payments totaling €2,000,000, which have been capitalized as an intangible asset and will be amortized over the 10-year term of the agreement. The annual amortization will be approximately $0.2 million for each of the next five years. Under the supply agreement, Bellicum will provide Miltenyi with regularly scheduled rolling forecasts of anticipated purchase requirements on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis. Within the rolling forecasts, there is a period of time referred to as the “Firm Zone” in which Bellicum is obligated to purchase, and Miltenyi has agreed to provide, the number of products Bellicum has specified for that period, subject to specified conditions and limitations. Litigation On February 6, 2018, a purported securities class action complaint captioned Nipun Kakkar v. Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Rick Fair and Alan Musso was filed against the Company, and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. A second substantially similar class action was filed on March 14, 2018 by plaintiff Frances Rudy against the same defendants in the same court. The lawsuits purport to assert class action claims on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities during the period from May 8, 2017 through January 30, 2018. The complaints allege that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, by making materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company's clinical trials being conducted in the U.S. to assess rivo-cel (rivogenlecleucel, formerly known as BPX-501) as an adjunct T-cell therapy administered after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The complaints purport to assert claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaints seek, on behalf of the purported class, an unspecified amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and expenses of attorneys and experts, and other relief. On April 9, 2018, the District Court consolidated the two lawsuits under the Kakkar action. On March 26, 2019, the court appointed lead plaintiffs to represent the putative class and on May 15, 2019, plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint. On July 5, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 19, 2018, a purported shareholder derivative complaint captioned Seung Paik v. Richard A. Fair, et al. was filed against the Company’s directors and certain of the Company’s officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The lawsuit purports to seek damages on behalf of the Company against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, waste, unjust enrichment and violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that the defendants caused or allowed the Company to disseminate misstatements regarding the clinical trials for rivo-cel and to make false or misleading statements in the proxy materials for the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. On October 3, 2018, the District Court granted the Company’s motion to stay the Paik derivative cause of action until reinstated on motion of the parties. On July 8, 2019, another purported shareholder derivative complaint captioned Scott Ludovissy and Ann Gordon Trammell v. Richard A. Fair, et al. was filed against the same defendants in the same court. The Ludovissy complaint includes substantially similar factual allegations as the class action case and seeks to hold the defendants liable for allegedly causing the Company to make material misstatements. On May 29, 2019, Bellicum was served with a second amended complaint indicating that the Company had been added as an additional defendant in an ongoing civil tort lawsuit, captioned Kelly v. Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles et al., filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Case No. BC681477. On July 10, 2019, a third amended complaint was filed, which alleges claims for wrongful death, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, medical battery on decedent, medical battery on individual plaintiffs, products liability - failure to warn, breach of express warranty and products liability design or manufacturing defect. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages including punitive damages. |

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Consolidation | Consolidation All financial information presented includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company has not yet generated any revenue from product sales. The Company’s source of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 has been from grants. When grant funds are received after costs have been incurred, the Company accrues revenue and records a grant receivable. Cash received from grants in advance of incurring qualifying costs is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when qualifying costs are incurred. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. |
| Investment Securities | Investment Securities Consistent with its investment policy, the Company invests its cash allocated to fund its short-term liquidity requirements with prominent financial institutions in bank depository accounts and institutional money market funds. The Company invests the remainder of its cash in corporate debt securities and municipal bonds rated at least A quality or equivalent, U.S. Treasury notes and bonds and U.S. and state government agency-backed securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investment securities based on whether they represent the investment of funds available for current operations, as defined in ASC 210-10-45-1 and ASC 210-10-45-2. The Company reevaluates its classification as of each balance sheet date. All investment securities owned are classified as available-for-sale. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Investment securities are recorded as of each balance sheet date at fair value, with unrealized gains and, to the extent deemed temporary, unrealized losses reported as accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity. Interest and dividend income on investment securities, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and realized gains and losses are included in interest income in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). An investment security is considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below its cost basis is determined to be other than temporary. The Company evaluates whether a decline in fair value of an investment security is below its cost basis is other than temporary using available evidence. In the event that the cost basis of the investment security exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the amount and duration of the period that the fair value is less than the cost basis, the financial health of and business outlook for the issuer, including industry and sector performance, and operational and financing cash flow factors, overall market conditions and trends, the Company’s intent to sell the investment security and whether it is more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the investment security before its anticipated recovery. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company records an impairment charge in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and establishes a new cost basis in the investment. |
| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Leasehold improvements, furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term. |
| Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Non-refundable upfront payments related to a supply agreement with future benefits have been capitalized as an intangible asset, presented in other assets on the balance sheet and amortized over the term of the agreement. The amortization of the intangible asset is included in operating expenses. |
| Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs Costs related to debt issuance are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and are amortized using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs are included in interest expense. |
| Operating Leases | Operating Leases Operating leases are recognized as right-of-use, or ROU, assets and operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Any lease incentives received are deferred and recorded as a reduction of the ROU asset and amortized over the term of the lease. Rent expense, comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting standards include disclosure requirements around fair values used for certain financial instruments and establish a fair value hierarchy. The three-tier hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market, as described further in Note 5. The Company believes the recorded values of its financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. |
| Financial Instruments and Credit Risks | Financial Instruments and Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited in demand accounts in federally insured domestic institutions to minimize risk. Insurance is provided through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Security Investor Protection Corporation. Although the balances in these accounts exceed the federally insured limit from time to time, the Company has not incurred losses related to these deposits. |
| Equity Issuance Costs | Equity Issuance Costs Equity issuance costs represent costs paid to third parties in order to obtain equity financing. These costs have been netted against the proceeds of the equity issuances. |
| Research and Development | Licenses and Patents Licenses and patent costs for technologies that are utilized in research and development and have no alternative future use are expensed as incurred. Costs related to the license of patents from third parties and internally developed patents are classified as research and development expenses. Legal costs related to patent applications and maintenance are classified as general and administrative expenses. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities, including compensation and benefits for research and development employees and consultants, facilities expenses, overhead expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, manufacturing expenses, fees paid to third parties and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial and other development costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the clinical trial or project and the invoices received from its external service providers. The Company estimates depend on the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by the vendors regarding the status of each project and total project spending. The Company adjusts its accrual as actual costs become known. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under research and development arrangements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone events are achieved. |
| Clinical Trials | Clinical Trials The Company estimates its clinical trial expense accrual for a given period based on the number of patients enrolled at each site, estimated cost per patient, and the length of time each patient has been in the trial, less amounts previously billed. These accruals are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the related expense is recorded in research and development expense. |
| Collaboration Agreements | Collaboration Agreements The Company enters into collaboration agreements that include varying arrangements regarding which parties perform and bear the costs of research and development activities. The Company may share the costs of research and development activities with a collaborator, or the Company may be reimbursed for all or a significant portion of the costs of the Company's research and development activities. The Company records its internal and third-party development costs associated with these collaborations as research and development expenses. When the Company is entitled to reimbursement of all or a portion of the research and development expenses that it incurs under a collaboration, the Company records those reimbursable amounts as a deduction to the research and development expenses. The Company also recognizes, as research and development expenses in the period when its collaborator incurs development expenses, the portion of the collaborator's development expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse. |
| Contract Manufacturing Services | Contract Manufacturing Services Contract manufacturing services are expensed as incurred. Prepaid expenses are capitalized and amortized as services are performed. |
| Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, and recognizes the fair value of the award over the period the services are rendered. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. The fair value is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award on a straight-line basis. |
| Comprehensive Loss | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period, from transactions, and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Components of comprehensive income (loss) includes, among other items, unrealized gains and losses on the changes in fair value of investments. These components are added, net of their related tax effect, to the reported net income (loss) to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, on the Company’s balance sheet was comprised of the net unrealized holding gains and losses on the Company’s investment securities and unrealized gains or losses arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to foreign operations. See Note 5 for further detail of the unrealized holding gains and losses on the Company’s investment securities. |
| Net Loss and Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Attributable to Common Stockholders | Net Loss and Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. |
| New Accounting Requirements and Disclosures | Application of New Accounting Standards In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASC 842”) which requires companies that lease assets to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. ASC 842 provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to apply ASC 842 as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and has not restated comparative periods. The Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use of hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. |
