Can-Fite Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results & Provides Clinical Update

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, June 1, 2020 -- Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE:CFBI), a biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs that address cancer, liver and inflammatory diseases, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Clinical Developments and Corporate Highlights Include:

Namodenoson Showed Significant Efficacy in Phase II NASH Study Including Resolving All Cases of NASH – Can-Fite’s Phase II NASH study achieved efficacy and safety endpoints in a dose dependent and statistically significant manner. The double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding efficacy and safety study enrolled 60 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with or without non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The optimal dosage was determined to be 25 mg for both safety and efficacy. Namodenoson was found to resolve significantly all cases of NASH, representing 25% of the 25 mg treated group, as compared to an increase in new NASH cases in the placebo group from a baseline of 0 to 5.9%. Namodenoson was determined to be a very strong candidate for continued clinical development in the treatment of NAFLD/NASH, particularly since no other treatment options are currently approved for this growing unmet need.

Piclidenoson as Potential Treatment for COVID-19 – Can-Fite filed a pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting request with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Piclidenoson in the treatment of COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms. Following the FDA’s guidance from the pre-IND meeting, Can-Fite plans to submit an IND application for Piclidenoson to be evaluated as a potential addition to the current standard of care treatment for COVID-19. During the first quarter, Can-Fite also entered into a collaborative research agreement with the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia to study the anti-viral activity of Piclidenoson on COVID-19 viral load. Can-Fite previously announced that it was approved to commence a COVID-19 clinical study in Israel. While Can-Fite commenced the trial, it has not enrolled patients due to the decreased number of COVID-19 cases in Israel.

Piclidenoson Phase III Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis Interim Data Expected Q4 2020 – Having enrolled over 50% of patients in its two Phase III studies in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, Can-Fite announced it is implementing an interim analysis for both studies. Data will be monitored by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) which will have un-blinded access to the data in Q3 2020. Announcement of interim results is expected in Q4 2020.

Namodenoson is Headed into Pivotal Phase III Liver Cancer Study – Following a successful End-of-Phase II Meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding Namodenoson in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, the FDA agreed with Can-Fite’s proposed pivotal Phase III trial design to support a New Drug Application submission and approval. The Phase III study protocol and registration plan have also been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Namodenoson is currently being used to treat liver cancer patients in a compassionate use program in Israel, which has enrolled seven patients. In addition, two patients who were enrolled in the Company’s former Phase II study, who responded well to the drug, are continuing treatment. Those two advanced liver cancer patients have reached an overall survival of over 2.5 years while being treated with Namodenoson.

Expanded IP – The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance to Can-Fite for Namodenoson in the treatment of NASH & NAFLD. A patent was issued for Namodenoson in the treatment of NASH in South Korea, where the drug is out-licensed for this indication. Can-Fite has also filed a new patent for Namodenoson to be used as a combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors for oncology indications. Based on its recent scientific findings in cannabinoid-based drugs, Can-Fite has filed patents for the use of such drugs to treat cancer, autoimmune, inflammatory and metabolic diseases.

Cash Infusion of $8.4 Million – During the first quarter of 2020, Can-Fite received a total of $3.4 million through warrant exercises, and $5 million from an equity offering.

“Namodenoson’s Phase II safety and efficacy results in NASH and NAFLD is a significant milestone for our company, and for the medical community seeking a safe and effective treatment for the rapidly growing number of patients diagnosed with fatty liver diseases. The fact that Namodenoson was able to not only reverse, but also resolve NASH in the Phase II NASH patients treated with 25 mg of Namodenoson is very compelling data as we move forward. With recently issued patents for Namodenoson in this indication, we are planning our next advanced stage clinical trial in NASH/NAFLD,” stated Can-Fite CEO Pnina Fishman. “For Namodenoson we are also preparing a Phase III study protocol in the treatment of HCC. Piclidenoson is on track for interim Phase III results in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, as well as a potential treatment for COVID-19. Can-Fite has a robust clinical pipeline with significant opportunities for our drugs in multiple indications.”

“I am happy to report that our operations have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak to date. Our ongoing clinical trials and clinical trial preparation work remain on track. We have implemented remote working and workplace protocols for our employees in accordance with Israel Health Ministry guidelines and we continue to closely evaluate the pandemic as it unfolds,” added Dr. Fishman.

Financial Results

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $ 0.20 million compared to revenues of $0.30 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in revenues for the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to the recognition of a lower portion of advance payments received under distribution agreements from Gebro, Chong Kun Dung Pharmaceuticals and Cipher.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $3.77 million compared with $1.44 million for the same period in 2019. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2020 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 accelerating rate of enrollment of patients for the Phase III clinical trial of Piclidenoson for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and for psoriasis.

General and administrative expenses were $0.70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $0.57 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in professional services and insurance expenses which was partly offset by a decrease in travel expenses.

Financial expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.07 million compared to financial expense, net of $0.12 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in financial expense, net in the first quarter of 2020 is primarily due to a decrease in exchange rate expenses.

Can-Fite’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $4.34 million compared with a net loss of $1.83 million for the same period in 2019. As of March 31, 2020, Can-Fite had cash and cash equivalents of $5.76 million as compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020 is due to an aggregate of $8.4 million received through the exercise of certain outstanding warrants following their repricing in January 2020, a public offering in February 2020, and the partial exercise, in March 2020, of warrants issued in the February 2020 public offering.

Following the end of the first quarter of 2020, the Company determined to change its accounting method from IFRS to U.S. GAAP and accordingly has reissued its audited financial statements for all periods covered by its 2019 financial statements under U.S. GAAP. A copy of the reissued financial statements and accompanying financial data has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K. The Company’s consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are presented in accordance with US GAAP Reporting Standards.
