Raphael Pharmaceutical Inc (RAPH) is a pre-revenue clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing purified cannabinoid-based drug candidates for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The company has not generated product revenue as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and funds operations through external financing rather than product sales. Its lead program targets rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with additional candidates aimed at COVID-19, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and gout. In November 2025, Raphael jointly filed provisional patent application No. 63/911,729 with the USPTO covering its cannabinoid-based formula for neutrophil-dominant autoimmune diseases, in collaboration with the Medical Cannabis Research and Innovation Center and Rambam MedTech. The company was incorporated in Israel, with substantially all executive officers and directors residing outside the United States. Operations are lean and heavily outsourced, with research and development, specifically manufacturing process development, representing the largest component of operating expenses per the 10-K filed March 31, 2026.
