Can-Fite BioPharma (CANF) Could Attract Radars on Top-Line Results,

Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (CANF)

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which your body’s immune system – which protects your health by attacking foreign substances like bacteria and viruses – mistakenly attacks your joints. It can affect any joint but is common in the wrist and fingers. The abnormal immune response causes inflammation that can damage joints and organs, such as the heart.

About 1.5 million people in the United States have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nearly three times as many women have the disease as men. In women, RA most commonly begins between ages 30 and 60. In men, it often occurs later in life.

CANF reported top-line results from a Phase IIb study for its proprietary-drug CF101 as a monotherapy, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

In the study, CF101 1 mg met all primary efficacy endpoints, showing statistically significant superiority over placebo in reducing signs and symptoms of RA as compared to the placebo.

Similar to CANF 's observations in the previously reported CF101 psoriasis trials, the response of patients with RA was cumulative over time, suggesting a consistent anti-inflammatory effect of CF101. Moreover, half of the RA patients treated with CF101 showed clinically meaningful improvement.

According to CANF , CF101 was very well-tolerated with no evidence of immunosuppression. CF101 had an excellent safety profile, as has already been shown in more than 750 patients in previously reported Phase II clinical studies in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Additionally, all treatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate in intensity.

CANF 's CF101 is a small molecule orally bioavailable-drug which binds with high affinity and selectivity to the A3AR, which is known to be over-expressed in inflammatory cells. The correlation between A3AR expression levels prior to treatment and patients' response to CF101 suggests that the A3AR may be utilized a predictive biomarker to be analyzed prior to patients' treatment.

CANF is focused on the development of small molecule orally bioavailable-drugs, in particular, ligands that bind to the A3 adenosine receptor. Such-drugs mediate anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects and the A3AR is developed as a biological predictive marker.
