Reports 2020 revenue… Reports 2020 revenue $206,000 vs. $0 last year. "We are thrilled to enter this new year as a public company following the recent close of our merger and concurrent financing, which was enabled by several key milestones achieved in 2020," said Rob Etherington, president and CEO of Clene. "Over the last year, we continued advancing our clinical Phase 2 studies and Phase 3 study of CNM-Au8, a novel bioenergetic nanocatalyst, in ALS, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease and are very pleased to have reported promising preliminary clinical results that support its neuroprotective and remyelinating properties. CNM-Au8's potential as a neuroprotective and neuro-reparative nanocatalyst is further validated by its selection as one of the first three therapies to be evaluated in the Phase 3 HEALEY ALS Platform trial, the first-ever platform trial for ALS. We are thankful to our patients, their care-givers, the MGH Healey ALS Center, the Northeast ALS Consortium clinical sites, and the entire Clene team, whose dedication throughout the pandemic drove this sustained progress. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to continue the momentum of our clinical programs. In 2021 we expect to report topline safety and efficacy data from our Phase 2 RESCUE-ALS trial, complete enrollment in the registrational HEALEY ALS Platform trial, and report topline data from our Phase 2 brain target engagement studies in MS and PD. We are grateful for the continued support of our investors, which has enabled Clene to fund these robust R&D efforts. It is with great energy and dedication that Clene will continue working towards its mission of developing bioenergetic nanocatalysts as a new class of drugs to treat significant unmet medical needs in neurodegenerative diseases while driving further value for its stakeholders." |
