Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 12, 2002, under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”) to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Group” refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and the Subsidiary. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), the Company removed the inception to date information and all reference to development.
The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated any revenues from its operations. Continued operation of the Company is contingent upon obtaining sufficient funding until it becomes profitable.
Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities.
Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private and public offerings in the nine month period ended May 31, 2015 and in the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months and beyond the date that the financial statements are issued, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). This new standard requires management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods ending after the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. Early application of the standard is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-15 in fiscal year 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have any material effect on the consolidated financial statement presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2014 Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results. |

COMMITMENTS | NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS:
As security for its obligation under this lease agreement the Company provided a bank guarantee in an amount equal to three monthly lease payments.
On July 22, 2014, the Subsidiary entered into a third agreement with the same CRO, for its Phase IIb clinical trial for an oral insulin capsule for type 2 diabetes patients, which began in the second quarter of calendar year 2015. As consideration for its services, the Subsidiary will pay the CRO a total amount of approximately $3,290 during the term of the engagement and based on achievement of certain milestones, $768 of which were recognized through May 31, 2015.
On May 15, 2014, the Subsidiary entered into an additional agreement with the same vendor, for the process development and production of the same capsule ingredients in the amount of $217, all of which was recognized through May 31, 2015.
On December 12, 2014, the Subsidiary entered into an additional agreement with the same vendor, for the process development and production of the same capsule ingredients in the amount of $550, $430 of which was recognized through May 31, 2015.
The Subsidiary is committed to pay royalties to the Bio-Jerusalem fund on proceeds from future sales at a rate of 4% and up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (Israeli CPI linked) at the total amount of $65. As of May 31, 2015, the Subsidiary had not yet realized any revenues and did not incur any royalty liability.
During the nine month period ended May 31, 2015, the Company received no grants from the Bio-Jerusalem fund.
Under the terms of the Company’s funding from the OCS, royalties of 3%-3.5% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (dollar linked) with the addition of annual interest at a rate based on LIBOR.
At the time the grants were received, successful development of the related projects was not assured. In case of failure of a project that was partly financed as above, the Company is not obligated to pay any such royalties.
As of May 31, 2015, the Subsidiary had not yet realized any revenues from said projects and did not incur any royalty liability. The total amount that was actually received through May 31, 2015 was $2,160.

Fair Value [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||
FAIR VALUE | NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE:
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:
As of May 31, 2015, the assets or liabilities measured at fair value were comprised of available for sale securities (Level 1). See also note 4.
As of May 31, 2015, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, other current assets, accounts payables and accrued expenses approximates their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of long-term deposits also approximates their carrying value, since they bear interest at rates close to the prevailing market rates. The long-term bank deposits bear an annual interest rate of 0.93%-1.00% and will mature during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value. |

Marketable Securities [Abstract] | |
MARKETABLE SECURITIES | NOTE 4 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income in equity until realized. Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are charged to statement of operations as an impairment charge and are included in the consolidated statement of operations under impairment of available-for-sale securities.
The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent to which fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment. Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities are included in the consolidated statement of operations as financial income or expenses.
As of May 31, 2015, marketable securities consisted wholly of equity securities of D.N.A Biomedical Solutions Ltd ("D.N.A"). D.N.A’s ordinary shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and have a quoted price. The fair value of those securities is measured at the quoted prices of the securities on the measurement date.
During the nine month period ended May 31, 2014, the Subsidiary sold in aggregate 2,625,989 of the D.N.A ordinary shares for total consideration of $138. During the nine month period ended May 31, 2015, the Group did not sell any of the D.N.A ordinary shares.
As of May 31, 2015, the Group owns approximately 9.6% of D.N.A’s outstanding ordinary shares.
The cost of the securities as of May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 is $595.
The cost of the securities sold and the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into financial income (amounting to $0 and $80 during the nine month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and to $0 and $36 during the three month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively) were determined by specific identification. |

On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd (“Hadasit”) to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes. On March 11, 2011, the Company was reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Group” refers to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and the Subsidiary. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915), the Company removed the inception to date information and all reference to development.
The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field for innovative pharmaceutical solutions, including an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules for delivery of other polypeptides, and has not generated any revenues from its operations. Continued operation of the Company is contingent upon obtaining sufficient funding until it becomes profitable.
Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and its transition to normal operations is dependent upon obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prior to selling its products within the United States, and foreign regulatory approvals must be obtained to sell its products internationally. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval of any of its product candidates, and a substantial amount of time may pass before the Company achieves a level of revenues adequate to support its operations, if at all. The Company also expects to incur substantial expenditures in connection with the regulatory approval process for each of its product candidates during their respective developmental periods. Obtaining marketing approval will be directly dependent on the Company’s ability to implement the necessary regulatory steps required to obtain marketing approval in the United States and in other countries. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these activities.
Based on its current cash resources and commitments, and cash received in private and public offerings in the nine month period ended May 31, 2015 and in the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and the corresponding level of expenditures for at least the next 12 months and beyond the date that the financial statements are issued, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are unexpected increases in general and administrative expenses or research and development expenses, the Company may need to seek additional financing during the next 12 months. |

Newly issued and recently adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). This new standard requires management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods ending after the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. Early application of the standard is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-15 in fiscal year 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have any material effect on the consolidated financial statement presentation. |
|||||||||
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Preparation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted in this interim period report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2014 Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full fiscal year’s results. |
