Can-Fite completes Phase I trial of hepatic drug

Can-Fite BioPharma has completed a Phase I clinical trial with its second pipeline drug, CF102.

The trial successfully met its objectives of evaluating the safety profile and pharmacokinetic of CF102 single doses, and of determining a dose range for future clinical studies. CF102 was very well-tolerated, with no severe adverse events seen and no dose-limiting toxicity observed. The half-life time of CF102 supports once- or twice-daily dosing and exposure levels are above those expected to have pharmacologic activity in hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Can-Fite is developing CF102 for the treatment of liver disease including HCC and HCV. The trial was a first exposure in humans and was conducted in the US under an IND in 25 healthy volunteers who were given the drug at one of five escalating doses.

Can-Fite currently intends to develop CF102 for the treatment of liver diseases including HCC and HCV. CF102, which was developed, based on Can-Fite’s technology platform is a targeted drug with high affinity and selectivity to the A3 adenosine receptor.
