PR Newswire Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd.
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, May 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE MKT: CANF) (TASE:CFBI), a biotechnology company with a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs being developed to treat inflammatory diseases, cancer and sexual dysfunction, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and updates on its drug development programs.
Clinical Development Program and Corporate Highlights Include:
CF101 – Phase II Glaucoma Results Expected in June; Phase III Trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis & Psoriasis Scheduled to Commence in 2016
In June 2016, Can-Fite plans to report data from a Phase II trial of CF101, conducted by its subsidiary OphthaliX, in the treatment of glaucoma and related syndromes of ocular hypertension.
During the first quarter of 2016, Can-Fite submitted a Phase III trial protocol for CF101 in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is currently expecting EMA input.
On March 7, 2016, Can-Fite presented data at the American Academy of Dermatology's 74th Annual Meeting in Washington D.C. in a poster titled, "Treatment of Plaque-type Psoriasis with Oral CF101: Data from a Phase II/III Clinical Trial." The Company plans to file a Phase III trial protocol for CF101 in the treatment of psoriasis with the EMA in the first half of 2016 and commence the study by the end of 2016.
CF102 – Conducting Phase II Trial in Liver Cancer & Plans to Commence Phase II Trial in NASH
Can-Fite continues to enroll and dose patients in its global Phase II liver cancer study in the U.S., Europe, and Israel. Completion of enrollment with approximately 78 patients is expected in the second half of 2016. The Company is preparing to file its Phase II protocol for CF102 in the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with institutional review boards (IRBs) in the second quarter of 2016.
CF602 – Reports New Pre-Clinical Data & Preparing to Submit an IND to FDA for Treatment of Sexual Dysfunction
Following the end of the first quarter, in April 2016 Can-Fite reported new data for CF602, showing a statistically significant full recovery from erectile dysfunction after one single dose treatment in a pre-clinical diabetic model.
Can-Fite plans to file an investigational new drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Phase I study of CF602 in the treatment of sexual dysfunction during the fourth quarter of 2016.
"During the first quarter, we made advancements in both our drugs heading into Phase III and our earlier stage indications. For CF101, we look forward to reporting data from our Phase II glaucoma trial and anticipate receiving input from the EMA on our pivotal Phase III rheumatoid arthritis trial in the coming month," stated Can-Fite CEO Dr. Pnina Fishman.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were NIS 0.21 million (U.S. $0.06 million). We did not record any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in revenue was due to the recognition of a portion of the NIS 5.14 million (U.S. $1.36 million) upfront payment received in March 2015 under the distribution agreement with Cipher Pharmaceuticals.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were NIS 4.08 million (U.S. $1.08 million) compared with NIS 2.33 million (U.S. $0.62 million) for the same period in 2015. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2016 comprised primarily of expenses associated with the Phase II study for CF102 as well as expenses for ongoing studies of CF101. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with preparations of the CF101 Phase III studies in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
General and administrative expenses were NIS 2.36 million (U.S. $0.63 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to NIS 2.48 million (U.S. $0.66 million) for the same period in 2015. The minimal decrease is primarily due to a reduction in professional services expenses.
Financial income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2016 aggregated NIS 0.44 million (U.S. $0.12 million) compared to financial income, net of NIS 3.3 million (U.S. $0.88 million) for the same period in 2015. The decrease in financial income, net in the first quarter of 2016 was mainly due to a smaller decrease in the fair value of warrants that are accounted as financial liability as compared to the same period in 2015. In addition, the decrease in financial income, net in the first quarter of 2016 was attributable to an increase in expenses due to exchange rate differences as compared to the same period in 2015.
Can-Fite's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was NIS 5.79 million (U.S. $1.54 million) compared with a net loss of NIS 1.51 million (U.S. $0.40 million) for the same period in 2015. The increase in net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to an increase in research and development expenses and a decrease in financial income, net.
As of March 31, 2016, Can-Fite had cash and cash equivalents of NIS 56.61 million (U.S. $15.03 million) as compared to NIS 66.03 million (U.S. $17.53 million) at December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is due to operating expenses.
For the convenience of the reader, the reported NIS amounts have been translated into U.S. dollars, at the representative rate of exchange on March 31, 2016 (U.S. $1 = NIS 3.766).
The Company's consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
