| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| NATURE OF OPERATIONS | NATURE OF OPERATIONS Ovid Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, commenced operations on April 1, 2014, and maintains its principal executive office in New York, New York. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to pioneering better, gentler small molecule medicines for brain disorders with significant unmet need. The Company is currently focused on developing OV329, OV4071 and other undisclosed potential medicines. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business development, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, and raising capital, and has financed its operations through the issuance of convertible preferred stock, common stock, other equity instruments, the sale and/or licensing of certain assets and the licensing of certain intellectual property. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development and regulatory success, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. The Company’s major sources of cash have been licensing revenue, proceeds from various public and private offerings of its capital stock, option exercises and interest income. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $165.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Since inception, the Company has generated its revenue primarily from the Company’s royalty, license and termination agreement (“RLT Agreement”) with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”). For most periods, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced negative operating cash flows and has required significant cash resources to execute its business plans, which the Company expects will continue for the foreseeable future. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $338.7 million as of March 31, 2026, working capital of $144.4 million and net cash used in operating activities of $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company recorded net losses of $17.0 million and $10.2 million, respectively, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and expects to incur losses in subsequent periods for at least the next several years. The Company is highly dependent on its ability to find additional sources of funding through either equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing agreements or a combination of any such transactions. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to fund its current operations through at least 12 months from the date of the issuances of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Adequate additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. The failure to raise capital as and when needed will have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategy. If the Company is unable to raise capital on acceptable terms, the Company will be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate research and development programs, or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain drug candidates that the Company might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently. The Company is subject to challenges and risks specific to its business and its ability to execute on its strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the pharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: delays or problems in the supply of the Company’s product candidates; loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; the challenges of protecting and enhancing intellectual property rights; complying with applicable regulatory requirements; obtaining regulatory approval of any of the Company’s potential product candidates, among others.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (A) Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP are condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of its financial information. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other future annual or interim period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. (B) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of Ovid Therapeutics Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ovid Therapeutics Australia Pty Ltd and Ovid Therapeutics Hong Kong Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (C) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. (D) Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. treasury instruments which are considered available-for-sale securities. The Company classifies its marketable securities with original maturities of less than three months as cash equivalents on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company classifies its marketable securities with maturities of less than one year from the balance sheet date as current assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company classifies its marketable securities with maturities of greater than twelve months as noncurrent assets on its consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities that are determined to be temporary are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in stockholders’ equity. (E) Restricted Cash The Company classifies as restricted cash all cash pledged as collateral to secure long-term obligations and all cash whose use is otherwise limited by contractual provisions. Amounts are reported as noncurrent unless restrictions are expected to be released in the next 12 months. (F) Long-Term Equity Investments Long-term equity investments consist of equity investments in the preferred shares of Gensaic, Inc., formerly M13 Therapeutics, Inc. (“Gensaic”), and Graviton Bioscience Corporation (“Graviton”), both privately held corporations. The preferred shares are not considered in-substance common stock, and the investments are accounted for at cost, with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments, and are classified within long-term equity investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with adjustments recognized in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined that these equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and elected the measurement alternative. Therefore, the carrying amount of the equity investments will be adjusted to fair value at the time of the next observable price change for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer or when an impairment is recognized. Each reporting period, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investments are impaired. The assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the investees’ securities, and other publicly available data. If an investment is determined to be impaired, the Company will then write it down to its estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the equity investment in Gensaic had a carrying value of $5.1 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the equity investment in Graviton had a carrying value of $36.8 million. The initial investment in Graviton was $10.0 million, and cumulative measurement adjustments based on observable price increases totaling $26.8 million have been recognized, recorded in other income (expense), net within the statement of operations. No impairments were recognized in the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. (G) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: •Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. The Company’s Level 1 assets consisted of investments in a U.S. treasury money market fund of $81.2 million as of March 31, 2026, and U.S. treasury money market funds totaling $25.8 million as of December 31, 2025. •Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. The Company’s Level 2 assets consisted of U.S. treasury bills, totaling $71.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and $26.8 million as of December 31, 2025. •Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. There were no Level 3 assets as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of a royalty monetization liability that is immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the improbability that the program would be further developed into a commercial product. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. (H) Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and recognizes the lease in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current liabilities, and long-term lease liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company determines the portion of the lease liability that is current as the difference between the calculated lease liability at the end of the current period and the lease liability that is projected 12 months from the current period. (I) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three years using the straight-line method. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed. The Company reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful life, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable. (J) Royalty Monetization Liability The Company accounted for its sale to Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) of a 13% share of royalties and milestones owed to the Company related to the potential approval and commercialization of soticlestat (“Ligand Agreement”) in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, classifying the proceeds received from the sale to Ligand as debt as the Company determined that it had significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows to Ligand. The Company further elected to account for the debt at fair value with changes in the fair value of the debt classified as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. In June 2024, Takeda issued a press release indicating the soticlestat trials missed their primary endpoints and noted that while Takeda would discuss the program with the FDA, Takeda fully impaired the asset representing soticlestat. In January 2025, Takeda announced the discontinuation of the program. (K) Research and Development Expenses The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and preclinical materials as well as contracted services, license fees, and other external costs. Research and development expenses also include the cost of licensing agreements acquired from third parties. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. (L) Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards granted for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of all option awards granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key inputs and assumptions include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, stock price and exercise price. Many of the assumptions require judgment and any changes could have an impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense. The Company elected an accounting policy to record forfeitures as they occur. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period under the straight-line method. The Company aggregates employee and nonemployee awards for certain disclosures since nonemployee awards are not material. (M) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and respective tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as for net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits. Valuation allowances are provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of a change in the tax laws is recorded in the period in which the law is enacted. (N) Net Loss per Share The rights and preferences of the non-voting Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) are negligible relative to common stock, therefore the Series A Preferred Stock is treated as in-substance common stock on an as-converted basis when allocating net loss to actual and in-substance shares of common stock. The Company applies the two-class method to allocate earnings between common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and other securities deemed in-substance common stock and participating securities, if any. Pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) are included in the number of weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for net loss per share calculations. Net loss per share of common stock is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net loss per diluted share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the potential dilutive impact of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) using the treasury-stock method and the potential impact of any preferred stock using the if-converted method. Net loss per diluted share attributable to common stockholders omits the inclusion of stock options, common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, warrants (except the Pre-Funded Warrants) and unvested RSUs, as these securities would be anti-dilutive. (O) Retirement Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees that is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company provides all active employees with a 100% matching contribution equal to 3% of an employee’s eligible deferred compensation and a 50% matching contribution on employee contributions that are between 3% and 5% of an employee’s eligible deferred compensation. These safe harbor contributions vest immediately. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company contributed $66,000 and $74,000, respectively. (P) Revenue Recognition Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In applying ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the promises and performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligations. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company makes estimates of the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. If there are multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is generally determined using expected cost and comparable transactions. Revenue for performance obligations recognized over time is recognized by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligations using an input measure. Non-refundable upfront fees allocated to licenses that are not contingent on any future performance and require no consequential continuing involvement by the Company, are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology or product is delivered. The Company defers recognition of upfront license fees until the performance obligations are satisfied. (Q) Segment Reporting Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), the Company discloses significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and discloses the title and position of the CODM. (R) Common and Pre-Funded Warrants The Company has issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in connection with financing activities and accounts for them in accordance with applicable accounting guidance as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the underlying warrant agreements. The Company has issued Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with financing activities and common warrant exercises and accounts for them as equity instruments in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. (S) Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting standards and plans to adopt those that are applicable. The Company does not expect the adoption of those standards to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, (“ASU 2023-09”), which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 intends to enhance the transparency as well as usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company has implemented ASU 2023-09 retrospectively for years ended December 2024 and 2025, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2025. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires the disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes to the consolidated financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of income and comprehensive income. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its related disclosures. The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to GAAP applicable to the Company as they are issued, and based upon the effective dates included in the pronouncements. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

| LEASES | LEASES In September 2021, the Company entered into a 10-year lease agreement for its corporate headquarters with a term commencing March 10, 2022, for approximately 19,000 square feet of office space at Hudson Commons in New York, New York. The lease provides for monthly rental payments over the lease term. The base rent under the lease is currently $2.3 million per year. Rent payments commenced in January 2023, and continue for 10 years following the rent commencement date. The Company issued an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $1.9 million in association with the execution of the lease agreement; the letter of credit is characterized as restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Hudson Commons lease has a remaining lease term of approximately six years and includes a single renewal option for an additional five years. The Company did not include the renewal option in the lease term when calculating the lease liability as the Company is not reasonably certain that it will exercise the renewal option. The present value of the lease payments was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate of 7.02%. Lease expense is included in general and administrative and research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. ROU asset and lease liabilities related to the Company’s operating lease are as follows:
The components of operating lease cost for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

| STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY The Company’s capital structure consists of common stock and preferred stock. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, the Company is authorized to issue up to 315,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company has designated 10,000 of the authorized shares of preferred stock as non-voting Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), of which none were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026. An additional 57,722 of the authorized shares of preferred stock are designated as non-voting Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), of which none were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. The holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. Subject to preferences that may apply to any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared on a non-cumulative basis. The common stock is subordinate to all series of preferred stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company. The holders of common stock are entitled to liquidation proceeds after all liquidation preferences for the preferred stock are satisfied. There were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, following an optional conversion into 1,250,000 shares of common stock in December 2025. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock at any time at the holder’s option. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends paid to holders of common stock at an equal rate, in the same form, and in the same manner on an as-if-converted basis. October 2025 Private Placement In October 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the purchasers named therein (the “2025 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of (i) 57,722 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) Series A warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 38,481,325 shares of the Company’s common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, and (iii) Series B warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 28,861,000 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants to the 2025 Investors in a private placement (the “2025 Private Placement”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was sold together with a Series A Warrant to purchase 666.66 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (rounded down to next whole share based on each such Investor’s aggregate purchase) and a Series B Warrant to purchase 500 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (together, one “Security”). The Securities were sold at a purchase price of $1,400.00, which included the purchase of 71 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 47,333 Series A Warrants, and 35,500 Series B Warrants by the Company’s Executive Chairman, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting in December 2025 (the “Special Meeting”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converted into 1,000 shares of common stock upon receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting of an increase of sufficient authorized shares of common stock to enable issuance of common stock on conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting, except for customary protective provisions, and has rights to receive dividends pari passu, on an as-converted basis, if and when the shareholder of common stock received dividend payment. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (a) $1,400.00 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends due to stockholders of Series B Preferred Stock or (b) the amount due on an as-converted basis while maintaining the seniority of the stock class. At March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Warrants each have an exercise price of $1.40 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Series A Warrants became exercisable upon stockholder approval at the Special Meeting and expired on April 17, 2026, the 30th calendar day following the date on which the Company publicly announced the clearance of the first of any investigational new drug application, clinical trial application or other foreign equivalent with respect to the clinical development of the Company’s OV4071 product candidate. In the event that beneficial ownership limitations prevent the exercise by a 2025 Investor of all or a portion of the Series A Warrants held thereby, such Investor may purchase shares of common stock up to the specified limit and, for the remainder, purchase Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of shares of common stock. The Series A Warrants meet the requirements to be recorded in permanent equity. The Series A Warrants are entitled to dividends on an as-converted basis if and when dividends are paid to common stock; therefore the Series A Warrants meet the definition of participating securities for the purpose of computing earnings per share. As of March 31, 2026, exercise notices and $26.6 million of cash had been received representing exercise of a total of Series A Warrants to purchase 18,997,329 shares of common stock, with Series A Warrants to purchase 16,140,663 shares of common stock delivered in common shares and Series A Warrants to purchase 2,856,666 shares of common stock delivered in Pre-Funded Warrants. At April 17, 2026, the expiration date of the Series A Warrants, all Series A Warrants had been exercised, with Series A Warrants to purchase 33,597,860 shares of common stock delivered in common stock and Series A Warrants to purchase 4,883,464 shares of common stock delivered in Pre-Funded Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $53.9 million. The Series B Warrants expire on October 6, 2030. In the event that the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 300% of the Exercise Price (subject to customary adjustments) for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to require exercise of the Series B Warrant for cash. In the event that beneficial ownership limitations prevent the exercise of all or a portion of the Series B Warrants held thereby upon any such mandatory exercise demand, such Investor will purchase shares of common stock up to the specified limit and, for the remainder, purchase Pre- Funded Warrants. The Series B Warrants are entitled to dividends on an as-converted basis if and when dividends are paid to common stock, therefore the Series B Warrants meet the definition of participating securities for the purpose of computing earnings per share. At March 31, 2026, no Series B Warrants had been exercised. The Company received initial net proceeds of $75.1 million from the 2025 Private Placement, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of $5.7 million. Following the exercise of all of the Series A Warrants, the Company received additional gross proceeds of approximately $53.9 million. The Company may further receive up to $40.0 million in additional gross proceeds, assuming exercise in full of the remaining outstanding Series B Warrants. The Series A Warrants were all exercised by April 17, 2026, and the Series B Warrants are currently exercisable. The Company initially valued the components of the Securities and allocated the issuance costs using relative fair values. The Series B Preferred Stock was valued at $1.79 per underlying common share, which was the close price of the common stock on the financing close date of October 6, 2025 due to the high probability of mandatory conversion within a short period of time. The Series A Warrants were valued at $0.75 per share using a probability-weighted expected return method based on two different expiry periods valued using a Black-Scholes model with corresponding probability for the likelihood of each scenario and Level 3 model inputs. The Series B Warrants were valued at $1.29 using a Monte Carlo simulation model since the timing and payoff are dependent on the Company’s trailing stock price and level 3 inputs. It is assumed that the Company would trigger a mandatory conversion at the earliest triggering event. The following table presents the level 3 inputs used in the valuation models:
The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the associated allocation of issuance costs was recorded in temporary equity until such time as the stockholder approvals were obtained at the Special Meeting. Upon gaining stockholder approval the Series B Preferred Stock converted automatically and the temporary equity balances were moved to permanent equity. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants do not have features that disallowed equity treatment and were recorded at relative fair value along with the allocated issuance costs in permanent equity. March 2026 Private Placement On March 19, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the purchasers named therein (the “2026 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 19,154,321 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.01 per share and, in lieu of common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 10,701,710 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.009 per Pre-Funded Warrant to the 2026 Investors in a private placement (the “2026 Private Placement”). The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, are immediately exercisable and do not expire. There are no additional rights and preferences, including voting rights, accorded to the Pre-Funded Warrants. The net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and transaction costs, were $56.2 million. Warrant and Pre-Funded Warrant Activity The following table summarizes the number of Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2026, the weighted average exercise price, and the aggregate intrinsic value:
At-the-Market Offering Program In November 2023, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-275307) that allows us to sell up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of its common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt securities and/or warrants, which includes a prospectus covering the issuance and sale of up to $75.0 million of common stock pursuant to its at-the-market (“ATM”) program. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares through the ATM program for net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, after deducting sales agent fees and other offering expenses. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $72.6 million available under its ATM offering program. Dividends Through March 31, 2026, the Company has not declared any dividends. No dividends on the common stock shall be declared and paid unless dividends on the preferred stock have been declared and paid.

| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), which became effective on May 4, 2017. The initial reserve of shares of common stock issuable under the 2017 Plan was 3,052,059 shares. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, stock appreciation rights, performance-based stock awards, and other forms of stock-based awards. Additionally, the 2017 Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards. The Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to receive awards under the 2017 Plan. Following the adoption of the 2017 Plan, no further awards will be granted under the Company’s prior plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Plan, on each January 1st, the plan limit shall be increased by the lesser of (x) 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the immediately preceding December 31 and (y) such lesser number as the Board of Directors may determine at its discretion. On January 1, 2026, 6,509,217 additional shares were reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan. As of March 31, 2026, there were 7,410,779 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2017 ESPP”), which became effective on May 4, 2017. The initial reserve of shares of common stock issuable under the 2017 ESPP was 279,069 shares. The 2017 ESPP allows employees to purchase common stock of the Company at a 15% discount to the market price on designated semi-annual purchase dates. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 33,015 and 34,509 shares were purchased under the 2017 ESPP, respectively, and the Company recorded expense of $9,000 and $21,876, respectively. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 ESPP automatically increases on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2018 and continuing through and including January 1, 2027, by the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, (ii) 550,000 shares or (iii) such lesser number of shares determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors acted prior to each of January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2025 to provide that there be no increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 ESPP on either such date. As of March 31, 2026, there were 173,005 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2017 ESPP. The Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), which authorized the Company to grant shares of common stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs. The 2014 Plan was terminated as to future awards in May 2017, although it continues to govern the terms of options that remain outstanding under the 2014 Plan. No additional stock awards will be granted under the 2014 Plan, and all outstanding stock awards granted under the 2014 Plan that are repurchased, forfeited, expire or are cancelled will become available for grant under the 2017 Plan in accordance with its terms. As of March 31, 2026, options to purchase 638,844 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2014 Plan. Unless specified otherwise in an individual option agreement, stock options granted under the 2014 Plan and the 2017 Plan generally have a ten-year term and a four-year graded vesting period. The vesting requirement is generally conditioned upon the grantee’s continued service with the Company during the vesting period. Once vested, all options granted are exercisable from the date of grant until they expire. The option grants are non-transferable. Vested options generally remain exercisable for 90 days under the 2017 Plan and 30 days under the 2014 Plan subsequent to the termination of the option holder’s service with the Company. In the event of the option holder’s death or disability while employed by or providing service to the Company, the exercisable period extends to 18 months or 12 months, respectively, under the 2017 Plan and six months under the 2014 Plan. The fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The inputs for the Black-Scholes option valuation model require assumptions that are detailed in the table below. The risk-free interest rates are based on the rate for U.S. treasury securities at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The expected life is based on the simplified method in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. Topic 14D. The expected volatility was estimated based on the Company’s published historical stock prices. The Company granted 4,575,750 and 3,370,900 stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. There were 9,136,687 and 8,299,628 unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total expense recognized related to the stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no outstanding performance-based option awards and did not record any related expense in those periods. The Company granted 398,375 and 249,201 RSU awards during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The RSUs vest in equal installments over three years on the grant date anniversary. At March 31, 2026, there were 669,545 RSUs outstanding. At March 31, 2026, there was $1.2 million of unrecognized stock–based compensation expense related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining average vesting period of 2.0 years. The Company’s stock-based compensation expense was recognized in operating expenses as follows:
The fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was estimated utilizing the following assumptions:

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company’s interim income tax provision consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate that the Company expects for the full year together with the tax effect of discrete items. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in a pre-tax loss position and is anticipated to remain so throughout the year. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any tax benefit or expense. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management evaluates whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating losses can be utilized. Management assesses all positive and negative evidence when determining the amount of the net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. Based on these factors, including cumulative losses in recent years, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant changes, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to certain aspects of the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business expense provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and the Company does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes or net income (loss) in future periods.

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES License Agreements Northwestern University License Agreement In December 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Northwestern Agreement”) with Northwestern University (“Northwestern”), pursuant to which Northwestern granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license to patent rights of certain inventions (“Northwestern Patent Rights”) which relate to a specific compound and related methods of use for such compound, along with certain know-how related to the practice of the inventions claimed in the Northwestern Patent Rights. The Company is developing OV329 under this agreement. Under the Northwestern Agreement, the Company was granted exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize products utilizing the Northwestern Patent Rights for all uses. The Company has agreed that it will not use the Northwestern Patent Rights to develop any products for the treatment of cancer, but Northwestern may not grant rights in the technology to others for use in cancer. The Company also has an option, exercisable during the term of the agreement to an exclusive license under certain intellectual property rights covering novel compounds with the same or similar mechanism of action as the primary compound that is the subject of the license agreement. Northwestern has retained the right, on behalf of itself and other non-profit institutions, to use the Northwestern Patent Rights and practice the inventions claimed therein for educational and research purposes and to publish information about the inventions covered by the Northwestern Patent Rights. Upon entry into the Northwestern Agreement, the Company paid an upfront non-creditable one-time license issuance fee of $75,000 and is required to pay an annual license maintenance fee of $20,000, which will be creditable against any royalties payable to Northwestern following first commercial sale of licensed products under the agreement. The Company is responsible for all ongoing costs of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Northwestern Patent Rights, but also has the right to control such activities using its own patent counsel. In consideration for the rights granted to the Company under the Northwestern Agreement, the Company is required to pay to Northwestern up to an aggregate of $5.3 million upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones for the first product covered by the Northwestern Patent Rights, and upon commercialization of any such products, will be required to pay to Northwestern a tiered royalty on net sales of such products by the Company, its affiliates or sublicensees, at percentages in the low to mid-single-digits, subject to standard reductions and offsets. The Company’s royalty obligations continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the later of the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim in a licensed patent covering the applicable product in such country and 10 years following the first commercial sale of such product in such country. If the Company sublicenses a Northwestern Patent Right, it will be obligated to pay to Northwestern a specified percentage of sublicense revenue received by the Company, ranging from the high single-digits to the low-teens. The Northwestern Agreement requires that the Company use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize at least one product that is covered by the Northwestern Patent Rights. Unless earlier terminated, the Northwestern Agreement will remain in force until the expiration of the Company’s payment obligations thereunder. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement for any reason upon prior written notice or for an uncured material breach by Northwestern. Northwestern may terminate the agreement for the Company’s uncured material breach or insolvency. The Company did not incur any licensing expenses under the Northwestern Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. AstraZeneca AB License Agreement In December 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”), for a library of early-stage small molecules targeting the KCC2 transporter. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company was obligated to pay an upfront cash payment of $5.0 million and issued shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount that equaled $7.3 million based on the volume-weighted average price of shares of the Company’s common stock for the 30 business days immediately preceding the execution date of the transaction. Pursuant to the AstraZeneca license agreement, the Company agreed to potential milestone payments of up to $203.0 million upon the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory and sales milestones. The first payment of $3.0 million is due upon the successful completion of the first Phase 2 clinical study of a licensed product following a positive biomarker readout in a Phase 1 clinical study. Gensaic Equity Agreement and Collaboration and Option Agreement In August 2022, the Company entered into an equity agreement and a collaboration and option agreement with Gensaic (“Gensaic Collaboration Agreement”). Under the terms of the equity agreement, the Company invested a total of $5.1 million in exchange for convertible preferred stock in Gensaic. The Company also retained rights to invest in future equity financing rounds. Dr. Jeremy Levin, the Company’s Executive Chairman, is currently the Chairman of Gensaic’s board of directors. The Gensaic Collaboration Agreement involves the research and development of Gensaic’s proprietary platform for certain rare central nervous system (“CNS”) disorder targets. Under the Gensaic Collaboration Agreement, Gensaic granted the Company an option to obtain an exclusive license with respect to certain identified lead phage-derived particle (“PDP”) products, which is exercisable at any time prior to the expiration of the option period. Once a product is identified by the Company that demonstrates sufficient efficacy, the Company may exercise its option with respect to the specific research program for that PDP product. The Company shall reimburse Gensaic for its research costs related to the specific research plan for PDP products identified. The research plan and budget shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties and shall not exceed $3.0 million in any research year. The Company will record these reimbursement payments as research and development costs in the period the research costs are incurred. In May 2023, the Company identified a lead PDP candidate for further research and provided $3.5 million to Gensaic to support the approved research plan and budget. The amount is expensed as the research and development occurs with the remaining amount included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $1.0 million remained in prepaid expenses and other current assets. No expense was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. If a product is ultimately commercialized under this agreement, the Company shall make tiered royalty payments to Gensaic in the mid-single to low double-digit range based on the net sales of all licensed PDP products during the royalty term. The Company is also responsible for potential tiered milestone payments of up to $452.0 million based upon the achievement of certain sales milestone events and developmental milestone approvals for three or more products. Gensaic also has the option to become a collaborative partner in the development and commercialization of PDP products in exchange for a fee based on a percentage of the costs incurred by the Company through the date Gensaic exercises its option. The Company would no longer be required to pay Gensaic royalty or milestone payments if Gensaic elects to exercise its option. The Company may terminate the Gensaic Collaboration Agreement by providing written notice to Gensaic 90 days in advance of the termination date. In January 2026, the Company and Gensaic executed an amendment which provided, among other changes to the original agreement, (a) the ability for the Company to apply the remaining prepaid research balance of $1.0 million to a new research project that may or may not be limited to PDP products and (b) provide an option at the end of the research project to enter into exclusive negotiations to enter into a license and development agreement with associated compensation. Any newly negotiated license and development agreement and compensation would supersede the original milestone and royalty schedules. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, no additional research activities had been performed. As of March 31, 2026, none of the above described contingent payments were considered probable. Non-Operating Loss During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company was the victim of a criminal scheme involving a business email compromise at one of its development collaborators, which led to a fraudulent transfer totaling $1.8 million to a third-party impersonating one of the Company’s development collaborators. A loss was recorded in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company subsequently recovered the funds in full and recorded a gain in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2025. Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company is not currently involved in any material legal matters arising in the normal course of business. Under the terms of their respective employment agreements, each of the Company’s named executive officers is eligible to receive severance payments and benefits upon a termination without “cause” or due to “permanent disability,” or upon “resignation for good reason,” contingent upon the executive officer’s delivery to the Company of a satisfactory release of claims, and subject to the executive officer’s compliance with non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants for two years following the termination date.

| COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS | COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS Takeda Royalty, License and Termination Agreement In January 2017, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Takeda under which the Company licensed from Takeda certain exclusive rights to develop and commercialize soticlestat in certain territories. In March 2021, the Company entered into the RLT Agreement, pursuant to which Takeda secured rights to the Company’s 50% global share in soticlestat, and the Company granted to Takeda an exclusive worldwide license under the Company’s relevant intellectual property rights to develop and commercialize the investigational medicine soticlestat for the treatment of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, including Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Under the RLT Agreement, all rights in soticlestat are owned by Takeda or exclusively licensed to Takeda by the Company. Takeda assumed all responsibility for, and costs of, both development and commercialization of soticlestat, and the Company no longer had any financial obligation to Takeda under the original collaboration agreement. In March 2021, upon the closing of the RLT Agreement, the Company received a nonrefundable upfront payment of $196.0 million and, is eligible to receive up to an additional $660.0 million upon Takeda achieving developmental, regulatory and sales milestones. Additionally, the Company is entitled to receive tiered royalties beginning in the low double-digits, and up to 20% on sales if regulatory approval was achieved. In October 2023, the Company sold a 13% stake in the royalty, regulatory and commercial milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive under the RLT Agreement to Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for $30.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no income or expense was recognized pursuant to the RLT Agreement. In June 2024, Takeda issued a press release indicating the soticlestat trials missed their primary endpoints and noted that while Takeda would discuss the program with FDA, Takeda had fully impaired the asset representing soticlestat. In January 2025, Takeda announced the discontinuation of the program. Marinus Pharmaceuticals Out-License Agreement In March 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with Marinus (“Marinus License Agreement”). Under the Marinus License Agreement, the Company granted Marinus an exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly provided therein), royalty-bearing right and license under certain Ovid patents relating to ganaxolone to develop, make, have made, commercialize, promote, distribute, sell, offer for sale and import licensed products in the territory (which consists of the United States, the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland) for the treatment of CDKL5 deficiency disorders. Following the date of regulatory approval by the FDA of the first licensed product in the territory, which was received in March 2022, Marinus issued, at the Company’s option, 123,255 shares of Marinus common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as payment. The Marinus License Agreement also provides for payment of royalties from Marinus to the Company in single-digits on net sales of each such licensed product sold. In February 2025, Immedica closed a cash purchase of Marinus, resulting in the sale of the Company’s equity position in Marinus for $70,000. In June 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Marinus License Agreement with Immedica wherein the parties agreed to replace ongoing royalty payment obligations and add additional licensing for a one-time payment of $7.0 million, which was remitted to the Company pursuant to the agreement and recognized as revenue in 2025. Of the $7.0 million, $6.3 million was related to the royalties and existing licenses and $0.7 million was related to a six-month option for Marinus to include additional patent assignments or expansion of the territory or field of use. The Company initially recorded the value of the option as deferred revenue and upon the December 2025, expiration of the option period, recorded the remaining deferred revenue as revenue. Graviton License Agreement and Equity Purchase In April 2023, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Graviton (“Graviton Agreement”), whereby it secured from Graviton an exclusive license to develop and commercialize Graviton’s library of ROCK2 inhibitors including their lead program GV101 (OV888) in rare CNS disorders (excluding amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) worldwide (excluding China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Under the Graviton Agreement, the Company and Graviton plan to investigate GV101 (OV888) in cerebral cavernous malformations as well as Graviton’s library of ROCK2 inhibitors in other rare CNS disorders. The Company will be responsible for all development and commercialization costs of the products. Should the Company receive regulatory approval and commercialize any of Graviton’s ROCK2 inhibitors, it will pay Graviton tiered royalties on net sales ranging from the mid- to high-teens. As part of the Graviton Agreement, the Company also purchased shares of Graviton’s preferred stock for $10.0 million. The Company recorded the purchase of the preferred stock as a long-term equity investment on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. In December 2023, March 2024 and December 2025, the Company recognized unrealized gains on the investment due to an observable change in price and recorded the gain in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The program related to this collaboration agreement is currently paused.

| NET LOSS PER SHARE | NET LOSS PER SHARE The basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities and multiple classes of shares. The Company considers its preferred stock to be in-substance common stock (see Note 2) and reflects it as a class of common stock for purposes of calculating net loss per share. While there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock occurred in December 2025 and the weighted average shares outstanding for previous applicable periods are used in calculating net loss per share. The Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrants are participating securities. Diluted net loss per common share is equivalent to the basic net loss per common share due to the exclusion of outstanding stock options, convertible preferred stock not considered in-substance common stock, outstanding common warrants (excluding Pre-Funded Warrants) and unvested RSUs because the inclusion of these securities would result in an anti-dilutive effect on per common share amounts. The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive:

| SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING The Company has determined that it operates as one segment focused on developing medicines for brain disorders with significant unmet need. The Company’s precommercial drug development candidates have similar economic and other characteristics, including all being in the small molecule therapeutic class which shares target markets, development pathways and regulatory environments. The CODM is the President and CEO, who reviews profit and loss information on a consolidated basis to assess performance and make operating and planning decisions, including resource allocations among active programs. The determination of the single segment is consistent with the information provided to the CODM. As the Company’s operations are comprised of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as “total assets.” Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to make operating and planning decisions or allocate resources. The following tables summarize the Company’s segment information as presented to the CODM for the periods indicated:

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP are condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of its financial information. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other future annual or interim period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
|
| Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of Ovid Therapeutics Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ovid Therapeutics Australia Pty Ltd and Ovid Therapeutics Hong Kong Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
|
| Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. treasury instruments which are considered available-for-sale securities. The Company classifies its marketable securities with original maturities of less than three months as cash equivalents on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company classifies its marketable securities with maturities of less than one year from the balance sheet date as current assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company classifies its marketable securities with maturities of greater than twelve months as noncurrent assets on its consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities that are determined to be temporary are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in stockholders’ equity.
|
| Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company classifies as restricted cash all cash pledged as collateral to secure long-term obligations and all cash whose use is otherwise limited by contractual provisions. Amounts are reported as noncurrent unless restrictions are expected to be released in the next 12 months.
|
| Long-Term Equity Investments | Long-Term Equity Investments Long-term equity investments consist of equity investments in the preferred shares of Gensaic, Inc., formerly M13 Therapeutics, Inc. (“Gensaic”), and Graviton Bioscience Corporation (“Graviton”), both privately held corporations. The preferred shares are not considered in-substance common stock, and the investments are accounted for at cost, with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments, and are classified within long-term equity investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with adjustments recognized in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined that these equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and elected the measurement alternative. Therefore, the carrying amount of the equity investments will be adjusted to fair value at the time of the next observable price change for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer or when an impairment is recognized. Each reporting period, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investments are impaired. The assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the investees’ securities, and other publicly available data. If an investment is determined to be impaired, the Company will then write it down to its estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the equity investment in Gensaic had a carrying value of $5.1 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the equity investment in Graviton had a carrying value of $36.8 million. The initial investment in Graviton was $10.0 million, and cumulative measurement adjustments based on observable price increases totaling $26.8 million have been recognized, recorded in other income (expense), net within the statement of operations. No impairments were recognized in the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
|
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: •Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities. The Company’s Level 1 assets consisted of investments in a U.S. treasury money market fund of $81.2 million as of March 31, 2026, and U.S. treasury money market funds totaling $25.8 million as of December 31, 2025. •Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active). Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. The Company’s Level 2 assets consisted of U.S. treasury bills, totaling $71.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and $26.8 million as of December 31, 2025. •Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. There were no Level 3 assets as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of a royalty monetization liability that is immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the improbability that the program would be further developed into a commercial product. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
|
| Leases | Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and recognizes the lease in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current liabilities, and long-term lease liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company determines the portion of the lease liability that is current as the difference between the calculated lease liability at the end of the current period and the lease liability that is projected 12 months from the current period.
|
| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three years using the straight-line method. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed. The Company reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful life, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.
|
| Royalty Monetization Liability | Royalty Monetization Liability The Company accounted for its sale to Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) of a 13% share of royalties and milestones owed to the Company related to the potential approval and commercialization of soticlestat (“Ligand Agreement”) in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, classifying the proceeds received from the sale to Ligand as debt as the Company determined that it had significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows to Ligand. The Company further elected to account for the debt at fair value with changes in the fair value of the debt classified as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. In June 2024, Takeda issued a press release indicating the soticlestat trials missed their primary endpoints and noted that while Takeda would discuss the program with the FDA, Takeda fully impaired the asset representing soticlestat. In January 2025, Takeda announced the discontinuation of the program.
|
| Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs for both clinical and preclinical materials as well as contracted services, license fees, and other external costs. Research and development expenses also include the cost of licensing agreements acquired from third parties. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity is performed or when the goods have been received in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development.
|
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards granted for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of all option awards granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key inputs and assumptions include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, stock price and exercise price. Many of the assumptions require judgment and any changes could have an impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense. The Company elected an accounting policy to record forfeitures as they occur. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period under the straight-line method. The Company aggregates employee and nonemployee awards for certain disclosures since nonemployee awards are not material.
|
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and respective tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as for net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits. Valuation allowances are provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of a change in the tax laws is recorded in the period in which the law is enacted.
|
| Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share The rights and preferences of the non-voting Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) are negligible relative to common stock, therefore the Series A Preferred Stock is treated as in-substance common stock on an as-converted basis when allocating net loss to actual and in-substance shares of common stock. The Company applies the two-class method to allocate earnings between common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and other securities deemed in-substance common stock and participating securities, if any. Pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) are included in the number of weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for net loss per share calculations. Net loss per share of common stock is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net loss per diluted share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the potential dilutive impact of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) using the treasury-stock method and the potential impact of any preferred stock using the if-converted method. Net loss per diluted share attributable to common stockholders omits the inclusion of stock options, common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, warrants (except the Pre-Funded Warrants) and unvested RSUs, as these securities would be anti-dilutive.
|
| Retirement Plan | Retirement Plan The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees that is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company provides all active employees with a 100% matching contribution equal to 3% of an employee’s eligible deferred compensation and a 50% matching contribution on employee contributions that are between 3% and 5% of an employee’s eligible deferred compensation. These safe harbor contributions vest immediately. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company contributed $66,000 and $74,000, respectively.
|
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In applying ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the promises and performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligations. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company makes estimates of the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. If there are multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is generally determined using expected cost and comparable transactions. Revenue for performance obligations recognized over time is recognized by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligations using an input measure. Non-refundable upfront fees allocated to licenses that are not contingent on any future performance and require no consequential continuing involvement by the Company, are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology or product is delivered. The Company defers recognition of upfront license fees until the performance obligations are satisfied.
|
| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), the Company discloses significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and discloses the title and position of the CODM.
|
| Common and Pre-Funded Warrants | Common and Pre-Funded Warrants The Company has issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in connection with financing activities and accounts for them in accordance with applicable accounting guidance as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the underlying warrant agreements. The Company has issued Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with financing activities and common warrant exercises and accounts for them as equity instruments in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
|
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting standards and plans to adopt those that are applicable. The Company does not expect the adoption of those standards to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, (“ASU 2023-09”), which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 intends to enhance the transparency as well as usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company has implemented ASU 2023-09 retrospectively for years ended December 2024 and 2025, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2025. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires the disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes to the consolidated financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of income and comprehensive income. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its related disclosures. The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to GAAP applicable to the Company as they are issued, and based upon the effective dates included in the pronouncements. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
