Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc (“Centessa” or “the Company”) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company that aims to discover, develop and ultimately deliver medicines that are transformational for patients. Centessa was incorporated on October 26, 2020 as a limited liability company under the laws of England and Wales. In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, or IPO, the Company re-registered Centessa Pharmaceuticals Limited as an English public limited company and renamed it as Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc. Risks and Liquidity The Company is subject to risks common to other life science companies in various stages of development 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 and compliance with government regulations in the markets in which the Company is seeking approvals, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations. If the Company does not successfully advance its programs, into and through human clinical trials and/or enter into collaborations for its programs and commercialize any of its product candidates, it may be unable to produce product revenue or achieve profitability. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1.01 billion as of March 31, 2025. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of the product candidates currently in development. Substantial additional capital will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to develop its product candidates. The Company entered into a Sales Agreement, dated January 27, 2023, by and between Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc and Leerink Partners LLC (formerly SVB Securities LLC). As sales agent, Leerink Partners LLC will provide for the issuance and sale by the Company of up to $125.0 million of its ordinary shares represented by American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (“ATM Program”). In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold 372,538 ordinary shares under the ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of $6.1 million. Since the inception of the ATM program in 2023, as of March 31, 2025, the Company has sold 4,663,354 ordinary shares under the ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $36.6 million. The Company expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2025 of $424.9 million will be sufficient to fund its expected operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
