Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) Announces Updates on ACT-EAP for CNM-Au8(R) Compassionate Use

 

• Clene announced significant updates to their NIH-funded Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies Expanded Access Program (ACT-EAP) for CNM-Au8(R) compassionate use in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”)
• Clene has optimized its manufacturing, operational, and personnel processes to expand the program’s capacity to accommodate up to 180 participants
• The ACT-EAP, a collaboration among Clene, Columbia University, and Synapticure, was funded by the Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act (ACT for ALS), signed into law by Congress and President Biden in December 2021

Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its subsidiary, Clene Nanomedicine Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and multiple sclerosis (“MS”), recently announced significant updates to their ACT-EAP for CNM-Au8 compassionate use in ALS (https://ibn.fm/aBWxl).

ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with no known cure, making accessibility to treatment programs crucial. Recognizing this need, Clene has optimized its manufacturing, operational, and personnel processes to expand the program’s capacity to accommodate up to 180 participants.

In collaboration with Columbia University and Synapticure, Clene has secured a four-year grant totaling around $45m from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (“NINDS”), part of the NIH, to support an Expanded Access Program (“EAP”) for their investigational drug CNM-Au8 in ALS.

EAPs, also known as compassionate use programs, are FDA-regulated pathways that allow individuals with serious and life-threatening diseases to access investigational drugs not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Funding for EAPs in ALS was strengthened by the ACT for ALS, signed into law by Congress and President Biden in December 2021.

Rob Etherington, CEO of Clene, said CNM-Au8 treatment has been associated with lowered risk of death and delayed clinical worsening, while being very well-tolerated in both of the company’s independent Phase 2 clinical studies. “Data from EAP programs, which usually include a broader ALS population than clinical trials, can supplement the safety and other meaningful data gathered from clinical studies,” Etherington added. “We are grateful for the NIH’s recognition to fund this important initiative and are pleased to provide this EAP for the ALS community. We are also grateful to the FDA for approving this EAP, working alongside Columbia University and Synapticure, to enable people who are living with this devastating disease access to our investigational drug CNM-Au8.”

Clene’s ACT-EAP is designed not only to meet FDA safety standards for EAPs but also to contribute valuable research data on ALS disease progression and therapy response. The program’s additional objectives include collecting real-world drug exposure data to enhance the CNM-Au8 clinical safety database and monitoring drug efficacy on survival and disease progression using natural history and control clinical trial database comparators. Biomarker data will also be collected and analyzed. This study is supported by the NIH under grant 1U01NS136023-01.

Dr. Jinsy A. Andrews, MD, MSc, FAAN, of Columbia University, and Principal Investigator on the grant, underscored that this was not just a standard EAP, in which Clene provides the investigational product to individuals with ALS through an FDA-regulated program. “A lot of time, careful thought, and effort have resulted in a study that will yield important insights into the real-world impact of CNM-Au8 treatment on the disease course of ALS,” Andrews explained.

The first patient visit for the ACT-EAP is scheduled for June 2024.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) CEO Calls on Business Leaders to Adopt Joint AI and Quantum Strategies

 

• CEO Dr. Alan Baratz recently published a piece for the Forbes Technology Council that highlighted the transformation potential in bringing these two technologies together
• D-Wave is helping companies explore the powerful combination of quantum computing with AI to drive innovation, reduce carbon emissions, and solve complex problems

As artificial intelligence (“AI”) continues its rapid enterprise adoption trend, there is growing interest in how quantum computing can be used in conjunction with AI to create better, more cost- and energy-effective solutions in various fields, such as material science, logistics, and complex optimization problems. The way the two technologies could be used together is explored in a Forbes Technology Council column by D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) CEO Dr. Alan Baratz (https://ibn.fm/kBjT6).

D-Wave, a pioneer in quantum computing, is developing annealing quantum computing technology specifically designed to address these challenges. In the Forbes column, Baratz explains that as AI continues to evolve, so will the computational resources and energy needs required to train and develop AI models. According to Dr. Baratz, quantum computing can successfully address some of these challenges by “helping businesses get more out of AI without being constrained by the limitations of classical computing.” This could enhance the applications of both technologies, including chemical simulations for drug discovery and financial modeling.

To implement quantum AI into their operations, Dr. Baratz believes that enterprises should start incorporating quantum technologies as soon as possible in order to maximize the impact of AI and to engage internal teams to identify where quantum AI can support their specific business challenges.

Innovative organizations may view quantum computing as a strategic advantage to outpace competitors. Quantum technology could offer significant business value, including finding supply chain efficiencies, reducing waste, shortening time to solutions, and tackling complex problems previously deemed unsolvable. Data from Hyperion Research indicates that 80% of early adopters of quantum technology plan to increase their investment in the next two to three years, with one-third intending to invest at least $15 million USD in quantum initiatives (https://ibn.fm/eUCsK).

D-Wave has achieved technological milestones that could push the boundaries of what is possible with quantum computing. Its focus on creating scalable quantum solutions positions the company as a key player in the field, driving the adoption of quantum technologies in practical applications. As the convergence of AI and quantum computing reshapes the technological landscape, Dr. Baratz believes that businesses must prepare for the disruptive potential of these advancements.
