Profile

Clene Inc.CLNNHealth Care

CNM-Au8 is its principal drug candidate, an oral gold-nanocrystal therapy being developed for ALS and multiple sclerosis. The clinical-stage company has no commercial drug-candidate sales and depends on clinical, regulatory, financing, and third-party execution.

Built around clean-surfaced nanocrystal therapeutics, the pipeline centers on CNM-Au8, an investigational oral gold-nanocrystal therapy. The company is developing it to address mitochondrial function, the NAD pathway, and oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS and multiple sclerosis.

Research, development, and manufacturing are split between Salt Lake City and North East, Maryland, with clinical work supported by CROs and research collaborators. CNM-Au8 receives substantially all research and development spending, while no commercial drug-candidate sales have been reported.

Progress depends on clinical and regulatory execution, capital for development and commercialization, third-party CRO and vendor performance, intellectual-property protection, and retention of key people. The business remains development-stage, with limited operating history and no material drug-product revenue.
