04 March，2020– Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. issued an announcement, which is summarized as follows:
Can-Fite today announced it is submitting its annual Drug Safety Update Reports (DSUR) for both Piclidenoson and Namodenoson to the governing health regulatory agencies where its drug candidates are currently treating patients. Submission of the DSUR is an annual requirement for investigational-stage new drugs under development in territories which subscribe to the International Council for Harmonization guidelines, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. The DSUR includes updates on drug safety information such as adverse events, suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions, and other indicators of potential risk. Can-Fite’s reports being filed this year extend the growing body of documentation showing both Piclidenoson and Namodenoson have favorable safety profiles and risk-benefit ratios in more than 1,500 patients.
Piclidenoson is currently in two Phase III studies, one for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis to establish superiority versus placebo and non-inferiority versus Otezla® with over 50% of the planned 407 patients already enrolled; and another for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis in newly diagnosed patients to establish non-inferiority to MTX, the standard of care, with over 50% of the planned 500 patients enrolled, and an interim analysis is planned. Namodenoson has completed a 78-patient Phase II study in liver cancer, and Can-Fite is currently preparing for a Phase III trial in this indication. Namodenoson has also recently completed enrollment in a 60 patient Phase II study in the treatment of NASH, with topline results expected later this month.
