study design for a Phase IIb study. Can-Fite expects to commence the study
before the end of 2021.
Pivotal Phase III Liver

with the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency on the protocol of a
pivotal Phase III study for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),

endpoint and be approved by the FDA and EMA, Namodenoson would become one of
