The latest announcement is out from Can-Fite BioPharma ( (CANF) ).

On May 13, 2026, Can-Fite BioPharma announced that, following positive interim results from its ongoing Phase 2a trial in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, it plans to advance its oral A3 adenosine receptor agonist Namodenoson into a Phase 2b study in combination with immunotherapy. The Phase 2a data showed a favorable safety profile, extended treatment beyond 16 months in some patients, stable disease in more than 30% of evaluable patients, and 35% of patients remaining on therapy and follow-up.

Can-Fite also intends to present details of the Phase 2b study design at the BIO International Convention in San Diego as it deepens partnership talks with major oncology companies, leveraging Namodenoson’s orphan drug status for pancreatic cancer and its existing Phase III and Phase 2 programs in liver disease to strengthen its oncology and liver franchise.

Spark’s Take on CANF Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CANF is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (declining revenue, ongoing losses, and persistent cash burn) and bearish technical signals (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Low leverage provides some risk mitigation, but valuation is not supportive given losses and no dividend data.
