Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
3 Months Ended |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the requirements of the 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, can be condensed or omitted. The Company operates in one reportable segment and solely within the United States. Accordingly, no segment or geographic information has been presented. The Company is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and its cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 for the Company are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period, including right of use asset and operating lease liability, accrued expenses, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, common stock warrant liabilities and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All investments with maturities of greater than three months from date of purchase are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities. (c) Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with applicable accounting guidance which establishes accounting for share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock, exchanged for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in operations based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The resulting compensation expense, less estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or sooner if the awards immediately vest. The Company determines the fair value of stock options issued using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Certain assumptions used in the model include expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, estimated forfeitures and expected term. For restricted stock, the fair value is the closing market price per share on the grant date. See Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation for a description of these assumptions. (d) Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Liability The Company accounts for common stock warrants issued as freestanding instruments in accordance with applicable accounting guidance as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company classifies warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet based on the warrants' terms as long-term liabilities, which are revalued at each balance sheet date subsequent to the initial issuance. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations as “Change in fair value of common stock warrant liability.” The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the related warrant liability. Certain assumptions used in the model include expected volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. See Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements for a description of these assumptions. (e) Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes as required by applicable accounting guidance, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized, on a more likely than not basis. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. (f) Research and Development Expense Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of the Company’s proprietary research and development efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain licensing arrangements. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with research and development collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval. Payments made to third parties upon or subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. The Company also expenses the cost of purchased technology and equipment in the period of purchase if it believes that the technology or equipment has not demonstrated technological feasibility and it does not have an alternative future use. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and are recognized as research and development expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. (g) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02) which along with subsequent ASUs, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification 842 (ASC 842) and provides accounting guidance for both lessee and lessor accounting models. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the standard using the effective date method at the beginning of the year in which the new lease standard is adopted, rather than to the earliest comparative period presented in their financial statements. The recognition of lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet. Upon adoption, as of January 1, 2019, we recognized a $2.6 million operating lease liability and a $2.3 million ROU asset. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity or cash flows. Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement", which eliminates, modifies and adds certain disclosure on fair value measurements. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing ASU 2018-03’s impact and will adopt it when effective. |

| Liquidity | |
| Liquidity | Liquidity In the course of its development activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue over the next several years. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it continues the development and clinical trials of, and seeks regulatory approval for, its product candidates. The Company's primary uses of capital are, and it expects will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, third-party clinical research and development services, contract manufacturing services, laboratory and related supplies, clinical costs, legal and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20.7 million as of March 31, 2019. The Company's existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 will be used primarily to complete the Phase 2b trial of INOpulse for PH-ILD and to complete the dose escalation study for PH-Sarc. On June 25, 2018, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which became effective on July 6, 2018. The shelf registration allows the Company to issue, from time to time at prices and on terms to be determined prior to the time of any such offering, up to $100 million of any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and rights, either individually or in units. On January 25, 2019, the Company completed the sale of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $0.70 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $6.2 million, after deducting placement fees of $0.5 million and other offering costs of $0.3 million. Such shares were sold pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The Company evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year beyond the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation and the Company's current plans, which are subject to change as discussed below, management believes that the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 and proceeds expected to become available upon sale of state net operating losses, or NOLs, and research and development (R&D) tax credits under the State of New Jersey’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program will be sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for at least one year after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In April 2019, the Company announced that it reached an agreement with the FDA on modifying the ongoing Phase 2b trial into a Phase 2/3 trial. The Company is currently reviewing its clinical plans following the agreement with the FDA. If the Company decides to incur startup costs related to the Phase 3 trial in the next 12 months, its operating cash needs are likely to increase and its existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 may not be sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for at least one year after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Absent additional funding, these activities could raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to access funding in any form is not assured and is likely to be influenced by the results of its ongoing and planned clinical trials. The State of New Jersey's Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program enables qualified, unprofitable New Jersey based technology or biotechnology companies to sell a percentage of NOL and R&D tax credits to unrelated profitable corporations, subject to meeting certain eligibility criteria. Based on consideration of various factors, including application processing time and past trend of benefits made available under the program, the Company believes that it is probable that its plans to sell its NOLs can be effectively implemented to address its short term financial needs. The Company has sold $61.5 million of state NOLs and $0.2 million of Research and Development credits under the State of New Jersey’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program in February 2018 for net proceeds of $5.3 million and has sold an additional $20.0 million of state NOLs for net proceeds of $1.7 million in January 2019. Subject to state approval and program availability, the Company plans to sell additional NOLs and credits under the same program later in 2019 or early 2020. The proceeds from such sales are recorded as income tax benefit when sales occur or proceeds are received. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may prove to be wrong, and the Company may exhaust its capital resources sooner than expected. The process of testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress in clinical trials is uncertain. Because the Company’s product candidates are in clinical development and the outcome of these efforts is uncertain, the Company may not be able to accurately estimate the actual amounts that will be necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization, if approved, of its product candidates or whether, or when, the Company may achieve profitability. Until such time, if ever, as the Company can generate substantial product revenues, it expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of equity and debt offerings, sales of state NOLs and R&D credits subject to program availability and approval, existing working capital and funding from potential future collaboration arrangements. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of its existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences or rights such as anti-dilution rights that adversely affect the rights of its existing stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through strategic partnerships in the future, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to it. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed or is unable to sell its state NOLs and R&D credits, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself. |

As the warrants, under certain situations, could require cash settlement, the warrants are classified as liabilities and recorded at estimated fair value using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. As of March 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 13,741,180 shares were outstanding. On May 15, 2017, the Company issued to an investor a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares that became exercisable commencing six months from their issuance and will expire five years from the initial exercise date at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In addition, the Company issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase 60,000 shares that were immediately exercisable and will expire five years from issuance at an exercise price of $1.875 per share. As the warrants, under certain situations, could require cash settlement, the warrants were classified as liabilities and recorded at estimated fair value using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. As of March 31, 2019, all of these warrants were outstanding.

| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value. Level inputs are as follows:
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2019 for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2018 for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
The Company uses a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value its liability classified common stock warrants. The significant unobservable inputs used in calculating the fair value of common stock warrants represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. For volatility, the Company considers comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of common stock warrants and transitions to its own volatility as the Company develops sufficient appropriate history as a public company. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected term of the common stock warrant. Any significant changes in the inputs may result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Bellerophon 2015 and 2014 Equity Incentive Plans During 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Plan, which provided for the grant of options. Following the effectiveness of the Company's registration statement filed in connection with its IPO, no options may be granted under the 2014 plan. The awards granted under the 2014 Plan generally have a vesting period of between one to four years. During 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan, which provides for the grant of options, restricted stock and other forms of equity compensation. On May 4, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares available for the grant of awards to 5,000,000 and to increase the maximum number of shares available under the annual increase to 3,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 2,572,425 shares available for grant under the 2015 plan. As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. No tax benefit was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 related to stock-based compensation expense since the Company incurred operating losses and has established a full valuation allowance to offset all the potential tax benefits associated with its deferred tax assets. Options The weighted average grant-date fair values of options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0.62 and $1.55, respectively. The following are the weighted average assumptions used in estimating the fair values of options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Income Taxes |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Excluding the impact of the sale of state net operating losses and research and development credits during the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 0.0% which was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the losses incurred and the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company’s estimated tax rate for 2019 excluding any benefits from any sales of net operating losses or research and development, or R&D, tax credits is expected to be zero because the Company expects to generate additional losses and currently has a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is required until the Company has sufficient positive evidence of taxable income necessary to support realization of its deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company may be subject to certain limitations in its annual utilization of NOL carry forwards to offset future taxable income (and of tax credit carry forwards to offset future tax expense) pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which could result in tax attributes expiring unused. In January 2019, the Company sold 20.0 million of state NOLs for net proceeds of $1.7 million under the State of New Jersey's Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program, which resulted in the reversal of the valuation allowance and a tax benefit of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In February 2018, the Company sold $61.5 million of state NOLs and $0.2 million of research and development credits under the same program for net proceeds of $5.3 million which resulted in the reversal of the valuation allowance and a tax benefit of $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Subject to state approval, the Company plans to sell additional NOLs and credits under the same program in 2019 as well. The proceeds from such sales are recorded as Income tax benefit when sales occur or proceeds are received. As of March 31, 2019, there were no material uncertain tax positions. There are no tax positions for which a material change in any unrecognized tax benefit liability is reasonably possible in the next 12 months. |

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 7.0 million options to purchase shares, 0.9 million restricted shares and 34.3 million warrants to purchase shares outstanding that have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, because such securities had an anti-dilutive impact due to the loss reported. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the total number of potential shares of common stock excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive was 23.9 million which included 4.2 million options to purchase shares, 0.3 million restricted shares and 19.4 million warrants to purchase shares. Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, as applicable. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income, adjusted to reflect the impact of dilutive warrants, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) |
3 Months Ended |
|---|---|
Mar. 31, 2019 | |
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared following the requirements of the 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, can be condensed or omitted. The Company operates in one reportable segment and solely within the United States. Accordingly, no segment or geographic information has been presented. The Company is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and its cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 for the Company are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period, including right of use asset and operating lease liability, accrued expenses, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, common stock warrant liabilities and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All investments with maturities of greater than three months from date of purchase are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities. |
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with applicable accounting guidance which establishes accounting for share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock, exchanged for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in operations based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The resulting compensation expense, less estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or sooner if the awards immediately vest. The Company determines the fair value of stock options issued using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Certain assumptions used in the model include expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, estimated forfeitures and expected term. For restricted stock, the fair value is the closing market price per share on the grant date. See Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation for a description of these assumptions. |
| Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Liability | Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Liability The Company accounts for common stock warrants issued as freestanding instruments in accordance with applicable accounting guidance as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company classifies warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet based on the warrants' terms as long-term liabilities, which are revalued at each balance sheet date subsequent to the initial issuance. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations as “Change in fair value of common stock warrant liability.” The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to value the related warrant liability. Certain assumptions used in the model include expected volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. See Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements for a description of these assumptions. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes as required by applicable accounting guidance, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized, on a more likely than not basis. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. |
| Research and Development Expense | Research and Development Expense Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of the Company’s proprietary research and development efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain licensing arrangements. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with research and development collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval. Payments made to third parties upon or subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. The Company also expenses the cost of purchased technology and equipment in the period of purchase if it believes that the technology or equipment has not demonstrated technological feasibility and it does not have an alternative future use. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and are recognized as research and development expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. |
| New Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02) which along with subsequent ASUs, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification 842 (ASC 842) and provides accounting guidance for both lessee and lessor accounting models. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the standard using the effective date method at the beginning of the year in which the new lease standard is adopted, rather than to the earliest comparative period presented in their financial statements. The recognition of lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet. Upon adoption, as of January 1, 2019, we recognized a $2.6 million operating lease liability and a $2.3 million ROU asset. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity or cash flows. Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement", which eliminates, modifies and adds certain disclosure on fair value measurements. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing ASU 2018-03’s impact and will adopt it when effective. |

- Definition Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.
