PETACH TIKVA, Israel, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE MKT: CANF) (TASE: CFBI), a biotechnology company with a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs that address inflammatory and cancer diseases, announced today that its subsidiary, OphthaliX, Inc., has issued an update on its clinical developments and strategic plans:
Glaucoma - OphthaliX is focused on the development of CF101 for the treatment of glaucoma, with a Phase II study ongoing in Israel and Europe. OphthaliX intends to amend the ongoing Phase II study protocol and continue to the second cohort, where patients will be treated with 2 mg CF101 or placebo. This decision is based on positive data from the psoriasis Phase II/III study currently conducted with CF101 by Can-Fite. As a result, there will not be an interim analysis and the full study data is expected to be announced in mid-2015. If successful, the treatment of glaucoma with an oral drug has the potential to be a breakthrough treatment in resolving patient compliance issues with current topical treatments. A third-party validation for the utilization of A3 adenosine receptor agonists for lowering intraocular pressure and treating glaucoma has been recently published by Professor M. Francesca Cordeiro, a Professor of Glaucoma & Retinal Neuro-degeneration at the University College of London and Imperial College in London.
Dry Eye Syndrome - OphthaliX has decided to end the development of CF101 for the dry eye syndrome indication. This decision is based on a lack of correlation between patients' response to CF101 and over-expression of the drug target, the A3 adenosine receptor in this patient population.
In-Licensing New Technologies - As part of OphthaliX's corporate strategy to build a specialized ophthalmic company that develops and in-licenses drugs for the treatment of ophthalmic diseases, OphthaliX is currently exploring opportunities to obtain technologies that will complement and expand the existing pipeline.
About CF101

The drug acts as a neuro-protective agent and prevents apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells.
