(NYSE American: CANF) (TASE:CANF), a biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs that address oncological and inflammatory diseases, today announces that it held a conference for 75 oncologists and coordinators who are conducting the pivotal Phase 3 advanced liver cancer study, to accelerate patient enrolment.

The participants have been presented with the drug chemical and biological profile and the study protocol as well as study procedures. Dr. Lencioni, a key opinion leader in radiology of liver tumors, Department of Radiology, Pisa University School of Medicine Italy, educated the oncologists on the way to measure tumor lesion size prior and post namodenoson treatment. The difference in tumor growth or regression defines progression free survival (PFS) and the objective response rate (ORR) to the drug, serving as part of the study objectives. US experts presented to the participants the electronic data entry of the patients’ data during the trial.

"The conference was very successful and we are very pleased with the enthusiasm of the participants with respect to the drug characteristics.

The study is designed to perform an interim analysis by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) upon enrollment of 50% patients. Namodenoson will be evaluated as a 2nd or 3rd line treatment for CPB7 patients in whom other approved therapies have not been effective.

About Namodenoson

Namodenoson is a small orally bioavailable drug that binds with high affinity and selectivity to the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR). Namodenoson was evaluated in Phase II trials for two indications, as a second line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma, and as a treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). A3AR is highly expressed in diseased cells whereas low expression is found in normal cells. This differential effect accounts for the excellent safety profile of the drug.
