Clene Completes FDA-Recommended Biomarker Analyses For CNM-Au8 In Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; Data Shows Reductions In Neurofilament Light, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein

Clene Inc. (Nasdaq: CLNN) (along with its subsidiaries, "Clene" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary Clene Nanomedicine, Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on revolutionizing the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS), today announced completion of the FDA-recommended biomarker analyses for CNM-Au8® in people living with ALS. The results demonstrate statistically significant reductions in both neurofilament light (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and provide compelling evidence linking biomarker decline to improved survival.  

The analyses follow FDA recommendations to support the persuasiveness of the original NfL findings observed in the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial by extending the analyses to the NIH-sponsored EAP (NIH-EAP) for CNM-Au8 in ALS. These biomarker findings build on prior constructive FDA interactions in support of a planned NDA submission under the accelerated approval pathway for the treatment of ALS.
