Can-Fite BioPharma (CANF) announced that its veterinary partner Vetbiolix reported positive final results from the osteoarthritis multicenter clinical study in dogs treated with Piclidenoson. Vetbiolix, Can-Fite’s veterinary commercialization partner, which is covering all costs associated with veterinary clinical development, successfully concluded the full study. Vetbiolix already exercised its option to enter into a full in-license agreement with Can-Fite and is obligated to pay Can-Fite an upfront payment, milestone payments and royalties on sales upon regulatory approval, summing up to projected income of $325M to Can-Fite over the next 10 years. The study looked at the effect of 90 days treatment with Piclidenoson at 100 undefined/kg and 500 undefined/kg twice daily orally in dog patients with osteoarthritis. Including all evaluable patients, the primary objective was the Liverpool OsteoArthritis in Dogs questionnaire for the assessment of symptoms severity evaluated on dog’s mobility. The secondary objectives included Visual Analog Scale for pain assessment by pet parents and Numerical Rating Score for lameness and pain assessment by the veterinarian. The study reached the primary and secondary endpoints with a dose and time dependent inhibitory effect of Piclidenoson on LOAD and VAS, together with a favorable trend on NRS scores, demonstrating significant improvement in clinical status and decrease in pain utilizing the 500 microgram/kg dose.
