Clene Inc. - CLNN STOCK NEWS

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) announced promising preliminary blinded efficacy data from its ongoing Phase 2 RESCUE-ALS clinical trial, which evaluates CNM-Au8 in early symptomatic ALS patients. Data presented at the ENCALS 2021 meeting show that 34%, 26%, and 18% of participants demonstrated improvement in motor neuron function at Weeks 12, 24, and 36, respectively, differing from expected declines in prior studies. Correlation analyses indicate that these improvements are linked to less clinical worsening. Unblinded topline results are anticipated in the second half of 2021.

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) reported promising interim Phase 2 data for its drug CNM-Au8, suggesting potential neurological improvements in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) announced promising interim data from its Phase 2 study of CNM-Au8, a nanocatalyst aimed at treating Parkinson's disease (PD). The data indicate significant improvements in CNS bioenergetic metabolites among PD patients. The company was awarded a grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation to further develop CNM-Au8, with a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial expected to start in 2021. Findings suggest CNM-Au8 may slow PD progression by enhancing neuronal survival and reducing oxidative stress.

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) announced positive interim data from its studies, VISIONARY-MS and REPAIR-MS, presented at the ACTRIMS Forum 2021. Interim results demonstrate CNM-Au8's potential in improving neurological functions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The VISIONARY-MS trial showed significant enhancements in MS Functional Composite (MSFC) scores compared to baseline (p<0.0001). The REPAIR-MS study indicated notable metabolic improvements in CNS markers, suggesting a homeostatic effect of CNM-Au8. Unblinded topline data for both studies are expected in 2022.
