Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Intangible Assets and In-Process R&D Intangible Assets and In-Process R&DIntangible assets at December 31, 2022 consist of the rights to trade-secrets and know-how related to the manufacturing of KIO-201. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement with SentrX Animal Care, Inc. (“SentrX”) with respect to certain rights relating to the manufacturing of KIO-201. The intangible assets were recorded at $0.3 million, representing the upfront payment paid to SentrX. Additionally, SentrX is eligible to receive milestone payments totaling up to $4.8 million, upon and subject to the achievement of certain specified development and commercial milestones. These future milestone payments to SentrX will increase the carrying value of the intangible assets. The Company’s intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Additionally, in-process R&D as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 consists of projects acquired from the acquisitions of Jade, Bayon and Panoptes that have not reached technological feasibility and which have no alternative future use. Once the
R&D process is complete, the Company will amortize the R&D asset over its remaining useful life. The Company periodically evaluates these assets for impairment.
