"We are pleased to receive this upfront payment of $500,000 from CKD and look towards future potential milestone payments as we advance Namodenoson through completion of our current Phase II trial as a second line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma and into Phase III," stated Can-Fite CEO Dr. Pnina Fishman.
Per the terms of the distribution agreement, Can-Fite will deliver finished product to CKD and CKD has a right of first refusal to distribute Namodenoson for other indications for which Can-Fite develops Namodenoson.
Can-Fite is currently conducting a global Phase II double-blind, placebo controlled study evaluating the efficacy of Namodenoson as a second-line treatment for advanced HCC. The primary endpoint is overall survival. In the coming quarters, Can-Fite intends to initiate a Phase II study of Namodenoson in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the precursor to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)."
