August 08 2024 - 8:00AM
via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged
in connecting public companies to the investment community, is
pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The
BioMedWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide
specialized content distribution via widespread syndication
channels.
The BioMedWire Podcast features fast-paced interviews with
experts guiding the next wave of pharmaceutical and biotech
innovation. The latest episode features Rob Etherington, President
and CEO of Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN), a late clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health
and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative
diseases.
To begin the interview, Etherington discussed Clene’s mission,
including its novel approach to the treatment of diseases such as
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis
(MS).
“Clene Inc. is focused entirely on improving mitochondrial
health and protecting neuron function. This is a very important
thing we can do to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, MS
and Parkinson's,” he said. “This is particularly topical today,
because the World Health Organization is predicting that
neurodegenerative diseases will become the second-most prevalent
cause of death within the next two decades. We're pioneering a very
unique approach: the use of an oral suspension that patients can
drink to treat the deficits that they might have if afflicted with
one of these devastating neurodegenerative diseases.”
“ALS is historically known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, famously
named after the baseball player who contracted it in the 1930s.
From there, it took 60 years for the first ALS drug to be approved
by the FDA. It was approved in 1995 and still remains today, nearly
three decades later, the standard of care. There's obviously a
tremendous need for new drugs in ALS. In the case of multiple
sclerosis, there are a lot of drugs that can treat MS, but they all
do effectively the same thing: they tamp down the body's immune
response, so the body stops attacking itself. What they don’t do is
improve function – the way patients move and walk and talk and
think cognitively with MS.”
“To put it simply, our brains are about 3-5% of our body weight
but consumes around 25% of our energy every day. Night and day, we
are powering our central nervous system to help us move and walk
and talk and eat and chew and breathe, but, in neurodegenerative
diseases, the neuron loses the ability to talk to the muscles and
enable us to do the things that we take for granted. What we're
doing is improving the vital dysfunction and the bioenergetic
metabolite that our neurons rely upon to continue this function.
Our drug enables the energetic capacity that those muscles require
to function and, in the case of ALS, enables the main systems,
primarily breathing, to be muscularly sustained so patients
potentially have increased rates of survival, as our data
suggests.”

of Clene Inc., to learn more about the company’s development
