Business and Liquidity [Abstract]
Business and Liquidity	Note 1. Business and Liquidity Business Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Virpax” or the “Company”) was incorporated on May 12, 2017 in the state of Delaware. Virpax is a preclinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel and proprietary drug-delivery systems, and drug-releasing technologies focused on advancing non-opioid and non-addictive pain management treatments and treatments for CNS disorders to enhance patients’ quality of life. The Company, since inception, has been engaged in organizational activities, including raising capital and research and development activities. The Company has not generated revenues and has not yet achieved profitable operations, nor has it ever generated positive cash flow from operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. The Company is subject to those risks associated with any preclinical stage pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants. Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital. The Company incurred a net loss of $11,021,717 and $4,722,690 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $33,725,624 as of June 30, 2022. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant revenue from its product candidates currently in development. The Company’s primary source of capital has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. On September 16, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 6,670,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.00 per share (the “Underwritten Public Offering”). The gross proceeds from the Underwritten Public Offering were $40.0 million. The net proceeds of the Underwritten Public Offering were approximately $37.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. In addition, the global macroeconomic environment could be negatively affected by, among other things, COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics, instability in global economic markets, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global credit markets, supply chain weaknesses, instability in the geopolitical environment as a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and other political tensions, and foreign governmental debt concerns. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, uncertainty and instability in local economies and in global financial markets. Management believes that current cash is sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the filing of this quarterly report. Additional financings will be needed by the Company to fund its operations, to complete clinical development of and to commercially develop all of its product candidates. There is no assurance that such financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. The Company also has the ability to curtail spending in research and development activities in order to conserve cash.
