### **Can-Fite to Present Phase IIa Pancreatic Cancer Study Progress During Partnering Meetings at the 2025 BIO International Convention in Boston**

*Ramat Gan, Israel, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd.* (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases, today announced that Dr. Sari Fishman, Vice President of Business Development, will present an update on the Company's ongoing Phase IIa study in pancreatic cancer during partnering meetings at the 2025 BIO International Convention, taking place June 16–19 in Boston, MA (link).

The Phase IIa clinical trial is open-label study evaluating Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma whose disease has progressed following at least one prior line of therapy. The study is assessing the safety, clinical activity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Namodenoson, administered orally at a dose of 25 mg twice daily in continuous 28-day cycles. Approximately 20 evaluable patients are expected to be enrolled.

The trial is led by Prof. Salomon Stemmer, a prominent Oncologist and Key Opinion Leader at the Davidoff Center, Rabin Medical Center, Israel. Namodenoson has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

"We are pleased to report that 50% of the planned patient cohort has already been enrolled and that Namodenoson has demonstrated a favourable safety profile," stated Prof. Salomon Stemmer. "There is a critical unmet need for safe and effective treatment options for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who have exhausted standard therapies. This study gives us the opportunity to advance a novel therapeutic approach for this challenging disease, stated Dr. Sari Fishman, VP of Business Development at Can-Fite."

Can-Fite looks forward to engaging with potential partners and collaborators at BIO 2025 as it continues to progress its clinical pipeline.
