Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Clene Nanomedicine Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and multiple sclerosis (“MS”), is actively advancing its lead drug candidate, CNM-Au8®. The company presented its progress at two key investor events this month, including the Q1 Virtual Investor Summit and the 37th Annual Roth Conference. At both events, Clene’s management discussed the latest achievements with CNM-Au8, a gold nanocrystal-based oral suspension that targets mitochondrial dysfunction and promotes neuronal health. The drug has shown promising results in Phase 2 trials, including significant survival benefits and delayed clinical worsening in ALS patients. Clene is now preparing to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the second half of 2025, aiming for potential accelerated approval.
As part of its ongoing efforts, Clene is conducting further analyses recommended by the FDA regarding neurofilament light chain (“NfL”) data, a key biomarker for ALS, in its NIH-sponsored Expanded Access Program (“EAP”). The company is collaborating with APST Research GmbH to compare NfL levels in treated ALS patients to historical controls. This analysis aims to determine whether CNM-Au8 can reduce NfL decline and to demonstrate that the rate of NfL change is associated with survival in the NIH-sponsored EAP ALS population, which would further strengthen Clene’s case for regulatory approval.
