Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) (along with its subsidiaries, “Clene”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Clene Nanomedicine Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including (“ALS”) and multiple sclerosis (“MS”), today reported new CNM-Au8(R) results from the long-term open label extension (“LTE”) of the VISIONARY-MS trial in participants with stable relapsing multiple sclerosis (“RMS”) totaling nearly three years of follow-up. After completion of the double-blind period, study participants were offered to continue on CNM-Au8 30mg for up to an additional 96-weeks in the LTE. Analyses were reported for the modified intent to treat (“mITT”) population that included all participants with valid clinical data. Among the highlights, the company reported progressive vision and cognitive improvements. “These observed long-term clinical improvements for participants with stable disease, over and above background immunomodulatory disease modifying therapy, are unprecedented,” said Professor Michael Barnett, one of the trial’s key clinical advisors. “The data show clear overall improvements in vision and cognition for participants treated for nearly three years from randomization. Importantly, these results were robust and consistent. Positive impacts on disease progression and the potential to at least partially reverse established disability, if confirmed in a larger study, represent a major therapeutic leap for patients with MS.”
