Can Fite Received Approval for COVID-19 Clinical Trial in Israel, Patient Enrollment and Dosing to Commence Immediately
Study will treat 40 COVID-19 infected patients hospitalized with moderate-to-severe symptoms
Efficacy endpoints include viral shedding and resolution of symptoms

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 it has received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Rabin Medical Center to initiate a pilot clinical study of its drug candidate Piclidenoson for the treatment of moderate-to-severe symptoms in coronavirus (COVID-19) infected patients.
On March 23, 2020, Can-Fite announced it submitted Piclidenoson for a COVID-19 compassionate use program to the IRB at Rabin Medical Center. Upon review, the IRB recommended that Can-Fite advance into a full clinical study. Can-Fite submitted the study protocol, which has been approved by the IRB. Patient enrollment and dosing will begin immediately.
The pilot trial is a randomized, open-label, 2-arm study of Piclidenoson plus standard supportive care, compared to standard supportive care alone, in 40 hospitalized COVID-19 infected patients with moderate-to-severe symptomatic disease. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the trial arms and treated for up to 4 weeks.

Read this PR date, allow a few days to enroll the patients, then
allow 4 weeks to finalise the study.
Now, at what date does it take you to?

Do the math yourself, it's not that complicated!
