PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CFBI), a biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs that address inflammatory, cancer and liver diseases, today announced the Company’s CEO, Dr. Pnina Fishman, will deliver a presentation titled “Piclidenoson for the Treatment of Psoriasis: Clinical Development and Mechanism of Drug Action” at the 3rd Annual Dermatology Drug Development Summit to leading European pharma and biotech industry stakeholders on April 6, 2022 at 4:30 pm in Frankfurt, Germany. The summit takes place April 6-7, 2022 and will focus on transformational new dermatological therapeutics being brought to market through collaboration.
Can-Fite completed enrollment in its Phase III Comfort™ study for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis with 400 patients enrolled across 30 sites in Europe, Israel, and Canada. Topline data are expected in Q2 2022.
Piclidenoson has been out-licensed for the indication of psoriasis to distribution partners in Canada, China, Korea, and numerous countries in Eastern and Western Europe. Can-Fite has received approximately $20 million in upfront and milestone payments from out-licensing deals of its drug pipeline to date.
“We look forward to presenting Piclidenoson as a potentially safe and effective treatment for psoriasis to Europe’s dermatology thought leaders and potential collaborators in Frankfurt. Through Can-Fite’s agreements with Gebro Pharma and EwoPharma, Piclidenoson will have strong distribution and marketing channels, upon approval, in many European countries,” Dr. Fishman stated. “Distribution rights for Piclidenoson are still available for some of the largest markets in Europe and we believe Dermatology Drug Development Summit, with its focus on collaboration, is a great venue to explore additional out-licensing partnerships.”
