By GlobalDataCan-Fite CEO Dr Pnina Fishman said: “We’ve seen Namodenoson’s potent anti-cancer effects in treating people with liver cancer and believe that based on recent pre-clinical results, our drug may be equally effective in pancreatic cancer, an indication in need of more effective treatments.”
Can-Fite’s pivotal Phase III study of Namodenoson is also currently underway for advanced liver cancer treatment.
The study demonstrated that advanced liver cancer patient remained cancer-free for six years after starting treatment.
Namodenoson was also evaluated for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and as a second line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma.
