Nature Of Business [Abstract]
Nature of the Business	1. Nature of the business Gemini Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gemini”) is a clinical-stage precision medicine company developing novel therapeutic compounds to treat genetically defined, age-related macular degeneration. The Company was founded on March 3, 2015. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to “Gemini”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” and any related terms are intended to mean Gemini Therapeutics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary following the Business Combination (as defined below). Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts and financial resources to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, discovering product candidates and securing related intellectual property rights and conducting research and development activities for its product candidates. In January 2022, the Company discontinued both of its Phase 2a clinical trials for GEM103. The Company's other product candidate, GEM307, is in the preclinical stage of development. In February 2022, the Company announced a corporate restructuring and that it initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives. After a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, including identifying and reviewing potential candidates for a strategic transaction, on August 9, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Disc Merger Agreement”) with Disc Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Disc”), and Gemstone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Gem Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, Gem Merger Sub will merge with and into Disc (the “Disc Merger”), with Disc continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Disc Merger, the Company will distribute to the pre-closing Gemini stockholders contingent value rights (“CVRs”), representing the contractual right to receive payments from the post-closing combined company upon receipt of certain proceeds derived from consideration paid as a result of the disposition of the Company’s pre-Disc Merger assets, net of certain permitted deductions for expenses. The Disc Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), and the Board resolved to recommend approval of the Disc Merger Agreement to the Company’s shareholders. The closing of the Disc Merger is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company and Disc as well as other customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the transaction. If the merger is completed, the business of Disc will continue as the business of the combined company. The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the success of the Disc Merger and there can be no assurances that the Disc Merger will be successfully consummated. In the event that the Company does not complete the transaction with Disc, the Company may explore strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, another strategic transaction and/or pursue a dissolution and liquidation of the Company. On February 5, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FS Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FSDC”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 15, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Gemini Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Gemini”), Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Company Securityholders (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), FSDC and FSG Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”). FSDC was incorporated in Delaware on June 25, 2020 and was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On the day prior to the Closing Date, Old Gemini changed its name to “Gemini Therapeutics Sub, Inc.” Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) FSDC changed its name to “Gemini Therapeutics, Inc.” and (ii) Old Gemini merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Old Gemini as the surviving company in the Merger and, after giving effect to such Merger, Old Gemini becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gemini. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the existing shareholders of Old Gemini exchanged their interests for shares of common stock of Gemini. In connection with the Business Combination, certain investors purchased an aggregate of $95.1 million of the Company’s Common Stock in a private placement of public equity (the “PIPE Financing”). Together with FSDC’s cash resources and funding of the PIPE Financing, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $195.9 million. For additional information on the Business Combination, please refer to Note 2, Business Combination, to these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, uncertainty of product development and commercialization, lack of marketing and sales history, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, market acceptance of products, product liability, protection of proprietary technology, ability to raise additional financing, compliance with government regulations and the impact of the ongoing and evolving novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic. If the Company does not successfully commercialize any of its product candidates, it will be unable to generate recurring product revenue or achieve profitability. The Company’s product candidates will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants, third-party contract research organizations and other third-party organizations. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company primarily financed its operations through the sale of convertible preferred stock, borrowings under convertible promissory notes and borrowings under loan agreements. The Company believes that its $108.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 will enable it to fund its planned operations for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, though the Company may raise additional capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. Management’s expectations with respect to its ability to fund current planned operations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to management, and there can be no assurance that the current operating plan will be achieved in the time frame anticipated by the Company, and it may need to seek additional funds sooner than anticipated. Furthermore, the operating plan could materially change depending on the outcome of our ongoing strategic alternative review process, including if the Disc Merger is not successfully consummated on a timely basis or at all. If adequate funds are not available to the Company on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all, management may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate certain of its research, product development or future commercialization efforts, obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators on terms unfavorable to the Company, or pursue merger or acquisition strategies, all of which could adversely affect the holdings or the rights of its stockholders. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the increased prevalence of variants of the virus, and government measures taken in response, have had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services, such as medical services and supplies, has spiked, while demand for other goods and services, such as travel, has fallen. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts have resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy and capital markets around the world. The Company cannot predict the future progression or full impact of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business and operations. The Company has not incurred impairment losses in the carrying values of its assets as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and it is not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require it to revise its estimates reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Although the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results in the second quarter of 2022, the full extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, and the estimates of the impact on the Company’s business may change based on new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, including the duration of the pandemic, any potential subsequent waves or strains of COVID-19 infection, the effectiveness, distribution and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
