In December 2024, the FDA made several key decisions: granted breakthrough therapy to STK-001 for Dravet syndrome, provided guidance for CNM-Au8 in ALS, aligned on AMT-130's accelerated approval for Huntington's, designated tolebrutinib for nrSPMS, placed a hold on PGN-EDO51 for DMD, and approved tirzepatide for OSA and obesity.

Clene receives FDA guidance on accelerated approval for CNM-Au8 in ALS, planning biomarker analysis. uniQure aligns with FDA on accelerated approval pathway for AMT-130 in Huntington disease. AbbVie's tavapadon meets primary and secondary endpoints in early Parkinson disease phase 3 trial.

Clene plans to follow FDA's guidance for accelerated approval of CNM-Au8 in ALS, leveraging data from expanded access programs to substantiate NfL decline. The company aims to submit an NDA in mid-2025, with ongoing analyses linking NfL and other biomarkers to survival benefits. CNM-Au8 has shown a benign safety profile and potential survival benefits in ALS patients.

Clene's ALS drug CNM-Au8 and UniQure's Huntington's disease gene therapy aim for accelerated FDA approval using real-world evidence from compassionate use and natural history data.

The FDA may consider accelerated approval for CNM-Au8 to treat ALS based on clinical trial and expanded access program data. Clene plans to submit an application in mid-2025, with additional testing required for continued approval. The FDA's decision follows a meeting where Clene presented additional data on CNM-Au8's ability to lower neurofilament light chain levels, a marker of nerve damage. Clene also plans to launch a Phase 3 trial, RESTORE-ALS, to definitively prove CNM-Au8's efficacy in extending ALS patient survival.

Clene announced FDA outlined potential path for accelerated approval of CNM-Au8 treatment in ALS through additional biomarker data submission, impacting operations and market position.
