Rakuten Medical

Rakuten Medical, Inc. is a global biotechnology company headquartered in San Diego, California, developing precision, cell-targeting investigational cancer therapies on its proprietary Alluminox platform — a drug-device combination pairing an IRDye 700DX light-activated dye conjugated to a cell-targeting antibody with local illumination by 690nm red light. Founded in 2010 as Aspyrian Therapeutics and renamed following investment from Rakuten Group, the company operates in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Switzerland and India. Its lead asset ASP-1929, an EGFR-targeting antibody-dye conjugate, received marketing approval in Japan in 2021 as Akalux for unresectable locally advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer and is in global Phase 3 development alone and in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy; RM-1995 and RM-0256 follow in earlier-stage programs. As a clinical-stage therapeutics and drug-device company, Rakuten Medical publishes no public developer API, SDK, webhook, or machine-readable specification; this profile captures its corporate identity and public web properties in the API Evangelist network.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  detail: Rakuten Medical is a clinical-stage biotechnology company whose product is a drug-device cancer therapy (an IRDye
    700DX antibody conjugate plus a 690nm laser), sold to hospitals and regulated by PMDA and FDA rather than integrated by
    developers; its only web property is a WordPress corporate site, and the sole non-www host that resolves, portal.rakuten-med.com,
    is an F5 BIG-IP employee VPN that answers 200 with the same HTML logout page for every path.
