Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing orally bioavailable small molecule therapeutic products for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory indications, oncology and liver diseases as well as sexual dysfunction. Our platform technology utilizes the Gi protein associated A3AR as a therapeutic target. A3AR is highly expressed in inflammatory and cancer cells, and not significantly expressed in normal cells, suggesting that the receptor could be a unique target for pharmacological intervention. Our pipeline of drug candidates are synthetic, highly specific agonists and allosteric modulators, or ligands or molecules that initiate molecular events when binding with target proteins, targeting the A3AR.

Our product candidates, CF101, CF102 and CF602, are being developed to treat autoimmune inflammatory indications, oncology and liver diseases as well as sexual dysfunction. CF101, also known as Piclidenoson, is in an advance stage of clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune-inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. CF102, also known as Namodenoson, is being developed for the treatment of HCC and has orphan drug designation for the treatment of HCC in the United States and Europe. Namodenoson was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA as a second line treatment to improve survival for patients with advanced HCC who have previously received Nexavar (sorafenib). Namodenoson is also being developed for the treatment of NASH, following our study which revealed compelling pre-clinical data on Namodenoson in the treatment of NASH, a disease for which no FDA approved therapies currently exist. CF602 is our second generation allosteric drug candidate for the treatment of sexual dysfunction, which has shown efficacy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in preclinical studies and we are investigating additional compounds, targeting A3AR, for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Preclinical studies revealed that our drug candidates have potential to treat additional inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, oncological diseases, viral diseases, such as the JC virus, and obesity.

We believe our pipeline of drug candidates represent a significant market opportunity. For instance, according to Visiongain, the world rheumatoid arthritis market size is predicted to generate revenues of $34.6 billion in 2020 and the psoriasis drug market is forecasted to be worth $11.4 billion by 2020. According to DelveInsight, the HCC drug market in the G8 countries (U.S., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan and China) is expected to reach $3.8 billion by 2027.

We have in-licensed an allosteric modulator of the A3AR, CF602 from Leiden University. In addition, we have out-licensed the following:

We are currently: (i) conducting a Phase III trial for Piclidenoson in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, (ii) conducting a Phase III trial for Piclidenoson in the treatment of psoriasis, (iii) preparing for an end-of-phase II study meeting with the FDA and preparing for a planned Phase III trial for Namodenoson in the treatment of liver cancer, (iv) conducting a Phase II trial of Namodenoson in the treatment of NASH with data release expected in the fourth quarter of 2019, and (v) investigating additional compounds, targeting the A3 adenosine receptor, for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and have therefore postponed a planned Investigational New Drug (IND) submission for this indication.

Since inception, we have incurred significant losses in connection with our research and development. At June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $105.5 million. Although we have recognized revenues in connection with our existing out-licensing agreements with KD, Cipher, CKD, Gebro and CMS and our historic out-licensing agreement with Seikagaku Corporation, or SKK, we expect to generate losses in connection with the research and development activities relating to our pipeline of drug candidates. Such research and development activities are budgeted to expand over time and will require further resources if we are to be successful. As a result, we expect to incur operating losses, which may be substantial over the next several years, and we will need to obtain additional funds to further develop or research and development programs.

We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities (both in private placements and in public offerings) and payments received under our existing out-licensing agreements with KD, Cipher, CKD Gebro, and CMS and our historic out-licensing agreement with SKK. We expect to continue to fund our operations over the next several years through our existing cash resources, potential future milestone payments that we expect to receive from our licensees, interest earned on our investments, if any, and additional capital to be raised through public or private equity offerings or debt financings. As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $8.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and as of the date of issuance of this Report on Form 6-K, we estimate that we have approximately $6 million in cash and cash equivalents. A substantial part of this amount is designated for payments to be made in relation to the ongoing treatment of patients who are currently enrolled in the Company’s on-going trials.

On May 23, 2019, we received a letter on behalf of Capital Point Ltd. (“Capital Point”), stating that Capital Point acquired our shares of the Company representing more than 5% of our outstanding share capital and requesting that the Company convene a special shareholders’ meeting as requested by Capital Point. On June 11, 2019, we responded to the letter informing Capital Point that, among other things, under our articles of association and the Companies Law, 5759-1999 the appointment of members of the board of directors may only be made at the annual meeting of shareholders. Subsequently, on June 18, 2019, we filed a lawsuit against Capital Point, its co-CEOs, Shay Itzhak Lior and Yossi Tamar, its Chairman, Dr. Shuki Gleitman, and its major shareholders, Shir Roichman and Yehuda Kahane, in the District Court of Tel Aviv. The lawsuit alleges that Capital Point engaged in improper conduct in its attempt to exert control over the Company by, among things, unlawfully requesting that the Company convene a special shareholders’ meeting to replace its directors. We seek damages of NIS 40 million (approximately $11.1 million).

In a related lawsuit, on June 13, 2019, Capital Point initiated legal proceedings in the District Court of Tel Aviv to compel us to convene a special shareholders’ meeting no later than July 18, 2019 and to direct us to make no changes in our capital structure, including not issuing any securities, prior to the record date of such meeting. On June 30, 2019, the District Court issued a decision compelling us to convene a special shareholders’ meeting to replace our directors. The District Court temporarily stayed execution of the decision and on July 9, 2019, we filed an appeal to the Supreme Court together with a motion to stay execution of the District Court decision pending a decision on the appeal. The Supreme Court granted our motion to stay execution of a District Court decision. During the period of the stay, the Supreme Court requires that if there is an additional fundraising by us, then certain participation rights be granted. A hearing on the appeal has been scheduled for December 16, 2019.

Separately, on August 1, 2019, we received an additional letter from Capital Point requesting, among other things, that we convene a shareholders’ meeting in order to amend our articles of association, replace the members of the board of directors in accordance with the proposed amendment, dismiss our Chief Executive Officer and appoint a replacement Chief Executive Officer, and appoint an accounting firm to conduct an investigative audit. On August 21, 2019, we responded to Capital Point rejecting their requests. Subsequently, on August 28, 2019, Capital Point filed an emergency motion with the District Court of Tel Aviv to compel us to convene a special shareholders’ meeting and to schedule an emergency hearing. On August 30, 2019, the District Court rejected Capital Point’s motion for an emergency hearing, provided us until September 15, 2019 to respond, and gave Capital Point until September 8, 2019 to reconsider its motion to the court.

Results of Operations

Revenues 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $0.7 million compared to revenues of $0.9 million during the first six months of 2018. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to recognition of a higher portion of the $2.2 million advance payment received in January 2018 under the distribution agreement with Gebro in the six month period ended June 30, 2018.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $3.9 million compared with $2.6 million for the same period of 2018. Research and development expenses for the first six months of 2019 comprised primarily of expenses associated with the Phase II studies for Namodenoson in the treatment of NASH and HCC, as well as expenses for ongoing Phase III studies of Piclidenoson in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. The increase is primarily due to increased costs associated with the initiation of the Phase III clinical trial of Piclidenoson for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in professional services and investor relations expenses.

Financial expense, net

Financial expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.3 million compared to financial income, net of $0.6 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in financial expense, net in the first six months of 2019 is mainly due to fair value revaluation of the investment in Wize Pharma Inc’s shares which is classified under short term investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through public (in Israel and US) and private offerings of our equity securities and payments received under our strategic licensing arrangements. At June 30, 2019, we had approximately $8.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and have invested most of our available cash funds in ongoing cash accounts.  As of the date of issuance of this Report on Form 6-K, we estimate that we have approximately $6 million in cash and cash equivalents. A substantial part of this amount is designated for payments to be made in relation to the ongoing treatment of patients who are currently enrolled in the Company’s on-going trials. In January, April and May 2019, we raised $2.35 million, $3.2 million and $6 million, respectively, in registered direct offerings. Additionally, in April 2019 we received approximately $1 million from CKD as an upfront payment for entering into an amended distribution agreement with CKD and in August 2019, we received $0.75 million from Kyongbo Pharm as an upfront payment for entering into a distribution agreement with Kyongbo Pharm.

We may be able to use U.S. taxes withheld as credits against Israeli corporate income tax when we have income, if at all, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to realize the credits. In addition, we believe that we may be entitled to a refund of such withholding tax from the U.S. government but there can be no assurance that we will be entitled to such a refund.

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $2.1 million for the same period in 2018. The $3.4 million increase in the net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, was mainly due to increase in net loss of $1.9 million, increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and lease deposit of $1.1 million and increase in deferral revenues of $1 million which was offset by changes in fair value of investment in Wize Pharma Inc’s shares which is classified under short-term investment of $1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and for the same period in 2018 was immaterial.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $10.1 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4.4 million for the same period in 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to our registered direct offerings in January, April and May 2019 while the net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2018 was due to our registered direct offering in March 2018.

Developing drugs, conducting clinical trials and commercializing products is expensive and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives. Although we believe our existing financial resources as of the date of issuance of this Form 6-K, will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements at least through the next twelve months, we will require significant additional financing to fund our operations. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

Until we can generate significant continuing revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through payments received under our license agreements, debt or equity financings, or by out-licensing other product candidates. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts. 

Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc.

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, fees paid to external service providers, up-front and milestone payments under our license agreements, patent-related legal fees, costs of preclinical studies and clinical trials, drug and laboratory supplies and costs for facilities and equipment. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred. We expect our research and development expense to remain our primary expense in the near future as we continue to develop our products. Increases or decreases in research and development expenditures are attributable to the number and/or duration of the pre-clinical and clinical studies that we conduct.

The following table identifies our current major research and development projects:

We record certain costs for each development project on a “direct cost” basis, as they are recorded to the project for which such costs are incurred. Such costs include, but are not limited to, CRO expenses, drug production for pre-clinical and clinical studies and other pre-clinical and clinical expenses. However, certain other costs, including but not limited to, salary expenses (including salaries for research and development personnel), facilities, depreciation, share-based compensation and other overhead costs are recorded on an “indirect cost” basis, i.e., they are shared among all of our projects and are not recorded to the project for which such costs are incurred. We do not allocate direct salaries to projects due to the fact that our project managers are generally involved in several projects at different stages of development, and the related salary expense is not significant to the overall cost of the applicable projects. In addition, indirect labor costs relating to our support of the research and development process, such as manufacturing, controls, pre-clinical analysis, laboratory testing and initial drug sample production, as well as rent and other administrative overhead costs, are shared by many different projects and have never been considered by management to be of significance in its decision-making process with respect to any specific project. Accordingly, such costs have not been specifically allocated to individual projects.

Set forth below is a summary of the gross direct costs allocated to our main projects on an individual basis, as well as the gross direct costs allocated to our less significant projects on an aggregate basis, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and on an aggregate basis since project inception:

From our inception through June 30, 2019, we have incurred research and development expenses of approximately $103.8 million. We expect that a large percentage of our research and development expense in the future will be incurred in support of our current and future preclinical and clinical development projects. Due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development processes and given the early stage of our preclinical product development projects, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs we will incur in the continued development of the product candidates in our pipeline for potential commercialization. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. We expect to continue to test our product candidates in preclinical studies for toxicology, safety and efficacy, and to conduct additional clinical trials for each product candidate. If we are not able to enter into an out-licensing arrangement with respect to any product candidate prior to the commencement of later stage clinical trials, we may fund the trials for the product candidates ourselves.

While we are currently focused on advancing each of our product development projects, our future research and development expenses will depend on the clinical success of each product candidate, as well as ongoing assessments of each product candidate’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which product candidates may be subject to future out-licensing arrangements, when such out-licensing arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

As we obtain results from clinical trials, we may elect to discontinue or delay clinical trials for certain product candidates or projects in order to focus our resources on more promising product candidates or projects. Completion of clinical trials by us or our licensees may take several years or more, but the length of time generally varies according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate.

The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during clinical development, including, among others:

We expect our research and development expenses to increase in the future from current levels as we continue the advancement of our clinical trials and preclinical product development and to the extent we in-license new product candidates. The lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval for our product candidates requires expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could cause a delay in generating product revenue and cause our research and development expenses to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our operations. Because of the factors set forth above, we are not able to estimate with any certainty when we would recognize any net cash inflows from our projects.

Trend Information.

We are a development stage company and it is not possible for us to predict with any degree of accuracy the outcome of our research, development or commercialization efforts. As such, it is not possible for us to predict with any degree of accuracy any significant trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause financial information to not necessarily be indicative of future operating results or financial condition. However, to the extent possible, certain trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments and events are identified in the preceding subsections.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
