Reuters reports that those who suffer from Psoriasis may soon have relief. Can-Fite BioPharma, a biotechnology company traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, an Israeli Biopharmaceutical company, announced today that its 75-patient Phase II clinical study with CF101 to treat patients with moderate to severe Psoriasis has successfully met its primary objectives.

Patients in this double-blind study were randomly assigned to 1, 2 or 4 mg of
CF101 or placebo twice daily. The drug was taken orally as a monotherapy for 12
weeks.

Dr. Michael David, Head of the Department of Dermatology, Rabin Medical Center,
the study principal investigator said: "The study data is impressive and
promising. CF101 is a unique small molecule orally bioavailable drug with an
impressive safety profile based on accumulated experience in more than 700
patients. There is a market need in Psoriasis for small molecule drugs and I am
confident that Can Fite should progress with the clinical development of CF101
