'We are pleased to have completed our merger with Cyclo Therapeutics and look forward to reporting the topline data from the 48-week interim analysis of the pivotal Phase 3 TransportNPC ™ study evaluating Trappsol® Cyclo™ for the treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1 anticipated later this month,' said Howard Jonas, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Rafael Holdings. Mr. Jonas added, 'We have enhanced our financial position with the closing of a $25 million rights offering earlier this month which will support advancing this potential new treatment option for patients suffering from this rare genetic disease.' Rafael Holdings, Inc. Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results As of April 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $37.9 million.
