Description of purchase agreement and registration rights agreement   As often as every business day from and after one business day following the date of the initial purchase and over the 30-month term of the agreement, and up to an aggregate amount of an additional $30.0 million of shares of common stock, (subject to certain limitations), the Company has the right, from time to time, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 400 thousand shares of common stock, with such amount increasing as the closing sale price of the common stock increases; provided Lincoln Park's obligation under any single such purchase will not exceed $1.5 million, unless the Company and Lincoln Park mutually agree to increase the maximum amount of such single purchase (each, a "Regular Purchase"). If the Company directs Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock it then may sell in a Regular Purchase, then in addition to such Regular Purchase, and subject to certain conditions and limitations in the agreement, the Company may direct Lincoln Park in an "accelerated purchase" to purchase an additional amount of common stock that may not exceed the lesser of (i) 300% the number of shares purchased pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase or (ii) 30% of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock traded during a specified period on the applicable purchase date as set forth in the agreement. Under certain circumstances and in accordance with the agreement, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares in multiple accelerated purchases on the same trading day.

Equity (Textual)                        
Description of warrants The transaction date relative fair value of the April 2019 warrants of $5.3 million was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and variables of (1) a discount rate of 2.35%, (2) expected term of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 78% and (4) zero expected dividends.         The Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 57 thousand shares that include down-round protection. For warrants with down-round protection, a deemed dividend is recorded for the change in fair value of the warrants when the down-round provision is triggered. As result of the April 2019 offering, the exercise price of the warrant was reset from $1.25 per share to $0.88 per share. The down-round protection provision in the above warrants created a deemed dividend to common stockholders of $1,269, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
