Can-Fite IDs Mechanism to Inhibit Pancreatic Cancer

 

  • The anti-cancer effect in pancreatic carcinoma is mediated via a key signal transduction pathway

  • According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2020 an estimated 496,000 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer globally

Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF), a biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs that address inflammatory, cancer and liver diseases, today announced that it discovered the mechanism of action (MOA) involved with the significant anti-cancer effect of Namodenoson in pancreatic carcinoma. Namodenoson de-regulates the Wnt signal transduction pathway, a key modulator of pancreatic carcinoma cell growth.

The discovery was made when analyzing results from pre-clinical studies conducted on advanced pancreatic carcinoma patient cells exposed to Namodenoson, which had a significant anti-cancer effect. This is the same MOA at work for Namodenoson in liver cancer.

Namodenoson is currently under a pivotal Phase III study for the treatment of advanced liver cancer and has completely cleared cancer in an advanced liver cancer patient who remains cancer-free 6 years after starting treatment.
