Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) Leverages APST’s NfL Database to Support FDA-Recommended Analyses for ALS Drug

Posted on February 28, 2025 by MissionIR
  • Clene is partnering with APST Research GmbH to analyze neurofilament light chain (“NfL”) data for evaluating CNM-Au8® in ALS patients.
  • APST maintains one of the largest ALS biomarker databases, with data from over 4,300 ALS patients, including clinical outcomes and biomarker tracking.
  • The analysis will compare NfL changes in the NIH-sponsored Expanded Access Program (“EAP”) participants with historical ALS patient data to assess CNM-Au8’s potential efficacy.
  • Clene plans to submit its statistical analysis plan to the FDA, aiming for filing of an NDA for potential accelerated approval in the second half of 2025.
  • No significant safety concerns have been reported across over 800 participant years of CNM-Au8 treatment.

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Clene Nanomedicine Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and multiple sclerosis (“MS”), has signed an agreement with APST Research GmbH (“APST”) to support analyses of CNM-Au8’s effects on NfL decline in participants in ongoing EAPs (https://ibn.fm/2IwhG). The analyses were recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to support Clene’s data package for a potential accelerated approval application.

Based in Germany, APST operates one of the largest ALS biomarker repositories, with data on over 4,300 ALS patients, including demographic information, motor function, and NfL biomarkers. This collaboration will provide Clene with robust comparative data to assess CNM-Au8’s potential efficacy in reducing NfL levels. Neurofilament light chain is a well-established biomarker for neuronal damage. In ALS, elevated NfL levels indicate disease progression and neuronal degeneration. Tracking how NfL levels change over time provides insight into whether a drug is slowing disease progression.

Under this agreement, Clene will use APST’s extensive dataset to compare NfL levels in NIH EAP participants treated with CNM-Au8 against historical ALS controls. The NfL dataset Clene is analyzing includes data from more than 1,625 ALS patients, aligning the biomarker data of NfL to clinical ALSFRS-R assessments, slow vital capacity (“SVC”), and clinical events such as ventilation support and nutrition intervention. The goal is to determine if CNM-Au8 treatment reduces NfL decline, and to demonstrate that the rate of NfL change is associated with survival in people living with ALS, which could strengthen Clene’s case for regulatory approval.

Commenting on the agreement, APST’s founder and CEO Thomas Meyer, a renowned ALS key opinion leader, emphasized the value of real-world biomarker data, noting that the collaboration advances ALS research and clinical development. “Our extensive and robust data collection empowers pharmaceutical companies to advance their clinical research and trials, driving us toward a deeper understanding of ALS disease progression” Meyer said.

Clene has provided CNM-Au8 treatment to nearly 500 ALS patients through its three EAP programs, collecting real-world evidence to assess the drug’s impact. Key aspects of Clene’s NfL analysis plan to be submitted to the FDA include:

  • Comparing NfL changes in NIH-sponsored EAP participants to control data from APST.
  • Analyzing correlations between NfL levels and patient survival rates.
  • Supporting the case for FDA accelerated approval of CNM-Au8 in ALS treatment.

Clene plans to submit a new drug application (“NDA”) to the FDA in the second half of 2025 for potential accelerated approval. The NDA will contain data on NfL changes and survival with CNM-Au8 treatment, including results of this study.

CNM-Au8 is an oral suspension of gold nanocrystals designed to improve cellular energy production and utilization, which is critical for maintaining neuronal health. The drug candidate has been shown to improve central nervous system cells’ survival and function via a mechanism that targets mitochondrial function and the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway while reducing oxidative stress. By targeting mitochondrial dysfunction, CNM-Au8 can provide neuroprotection and promote remyelination. Across 800 participant years of CNM-Au8 treatment, no significant safety concerns or adverse events have been reported. Investigators have not identified any serious adverse events linked to the treatment.

“We are excited to enter into this endeavor with one of the world’s largest ALS NfL datasets in order to supplement available biomarker NfL data from our NIH-sponsored EAP, and to support the existing clinical study data for the potential review of an application for approval of CNM-Au8 in ALS via an accelerated regulatory pathway,” said Clene’s CEO, Rob Etherington. “We remain dedicated to the ALS community and are honored to continue our efforts to help critically ill patients and their families.”

SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB) Continues Expansion of National Public Safety EM Contracts

Posted on February 27, 2025 by MissionIR
  • Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology developer SuperCom has developed a full range of best-in-class technology products and accompanying services to help criminal justice agencies reduce recidivism and incarceration costs while increasing rehabilitation potential for offenders
  • The company recently reported a new contract win, its seventh domestic violence EM project on a national level
  • In addition to national contract expansion throughout Europe, SuperCom has reported 20 new EM contracts throughout the United States
  • Market analysts have noted the growing call for EM products and services, with marked increased usage in North America, Latin America, and Europe in recent years, underscoring SuperCom’s continued growth

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a company specializing in electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology to help public safety agencies reduce the incidence of repeated domestic violence (“DV”), is announcing a new EM contract win that expands its portfolio of national DV monitoring projects.

The use of EM technology as an alternative to incarceration has been increasing on a global scale since public safety agencies in the United States began working with it in the 1980s. Last year, market analysts at ResearchAndMarkets.com and Berg Insight both reported that the number of participants in EM programs reached about 518,000 in North America, 130,000 in Latin America, and 64,000 in Europe during 2023 (https://ibn.fm/dZEL2).

The analysts forecast the number of participants in these EM programs will increase to about 680,000 in North America, 239,000 in Latin America, and 94,000 in Europe by 2028, underscoring the rising pace of new participants as government officials seek the means for cutting prison system costs while continuing to ensure the safety of their communities.

Overall, Berg reported that by the end of 2023, nearly 1.4 million people had participated in an EM supervision program, with nearly two-thirds of them in the United States (https://ibn.fm/BR3VF). SuperCom’s latest contract brings its current list of national EM of DV projects to seven, including announced services for the state police of Latvia (https://ibn.fm/eDQds) and Romania’s Ministry of Interior (https://ibn.fm/S7O7k).

The company noted it is outpacing its competitors with its expansion and is demonstrating its reputation as a leader in providing DV monitoring solutions. In addition to its large ongoing European expansion, SuperCom has signed 20 new contracts for technological solutions throughout the United States since last August, including services in six states where SuperCom’s products are being used for the first time (https://ibn.fm/VpDhJ).

The company also notes the technology’s potential for reducing recidivism (repeated offenses) by helping suspects and convicted offenders who qualify for EM monitoring to return to everyday work, school, and home activities while wearing a tech device that is discreet and easily recharged.

“We are pleased to see another national government choose our DV advanced electronic monitoring solutions, demonstrating the strong trust governments place in our technology and their satisfaction with its effectiveness,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated in the company’s most recent announcement. “SuperCom continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for government agencies seeking effective, scalable solutions for public safety. With each new deployment, we help authorities enhance victim protection and offender compliance, driving real impact in communities.”

SuperCom uses both radio frequency (“RF”) and GPS, the dominant technologies in the EM market, to provide at-home and on-the-street supervision of offenders by the criminal justice system, which is suited to clients’ needs.

The company’s advanced PureTrack GPS platform includes branded technology elements such as the wearable bracelets PureOne (GPS) and the PureTag (RFID), the home base station PureCom, and the PureProtect mobile app.

SuperCom has a track record of more than 50 government clients served, monitoring more than 100,000 individuals.

SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2), Viridi Partner on Buffalo, NY Solar and Battery Project

Posted on February 26, 2025 by MissionIR
  • SolarBank and Viridi are collaborating on a 3.06 MW solar and 1.2 MWh battery energy storage system in Buffalo, New York, repurposing a closed landfill, converting unused land into a source of clean energy.
  • Pending approvals and financing, SolarBank is set to begin construction, while Viridi will provide the battery storage system.
  • Viridi’s battery systems include integrated fire suppression and anti-propagation technology to enhance safety.
  • Once operational, the project will function under a community solar model, where residents can subscribe to the project, earning credits on their electricity bills without installing personal solar panels.

Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation

SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2), a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the U.S., has announced a partnership with Viridi, the industry leader in fail-safe battery energy storage systems (“BESS”), to develop a combined 3.06 megawatt (“MW”) direct current ground-mounted solar power project and a 1.2 megawatt-hour (“MWh”) BESS, in Buffalo, New York. This initiative aims to transform a closed landfill into a productive asset that generates clean energy for the local community (https://ibn.fm/XEmgk).

The selected site, located at 1037 South Park Ave. in South Buffalo, was previously a landfill. By repurposing this land, the project not only addresses environmental concerns but also contributes to the community by providing a sustainable energy source. This approach exemplifies innovative land use, turning otherwise unusable areas into hubs for renewable energy production.

Once operational, the project will function under a community solar model. This setup allows local residents, including renters and homeowners, to subscribe to the solar project. Subscribers receive credits on their electricity bills corresponding to their share of the generated solar energy, enabling them to benefit from renewable energy without the need to install personal solar panels. This model promotes inclusivity and broad participation in clean energy initiatives.

Viridi, known for its leadership in fail-safe battery energy storage systems, will supply the BESS for this project. Their innovative lithium-ion battery packs are equipped with integrated fire suppression and pioneering anti-propagation technology. Unlike traditional methods that modify battery cells, Viridi’s design isolates each cell to prevent thermal runaway, ensuring that a single cell failure does not escalate. This fail-safe approach enhances safety and reliability, making the energy storage solution adaptable for various settings.

SolarBank, subject to the receipt of financing, intends to be the owner of the project. The company has secured a lease for the project site and has applied for interconnection approval. Upon receiving the necessary permits and financing, the company plans to commence construction. The integration of the BESS with the solar installation will allow for the storage of generated energy, which can be dispatched during peak demand periods, thereby enhancing grid stability and optimizing energy use. This project aligns with New York State’s energy storage roadmap, which supports the development of such hybrid generation-storage projects.

SolarBank has already begun construction on another BESS project, representing the company’s first foray into this sector. The company has kicked off construction of project SFF-06, one out of two battery energy storage systems in Ontario, earlier in February 2025, through a $25.8 million CAD ($18.17 million USD) project finance facility from the Royal Bank of Canada. The initiatives come as battery storage demand surges, with the global market projected to reach $31.2 billion USD by 2029, growing at 16.3% annually (https://ibn.fm/G6g5b).
