Salt Lake City— Clene Nanomedicine, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of first-in-class nanocatalysts for the treatment of bioenergetic failure associated with neurodegenerative diseases, announced the $42.5 million oversubscribed closing of its Series D equity financing. Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance Clene’s clinical pipeline—particularly the lead nanocatalyst, CNM-Au8—an orally administered therapeutic under investigation for the neurorepair of various neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS, with one Phase 3 trial and four Phase 2 studies ongoing. 

Clene worked closely with Salt Lake City-based investment banking firm, Crewe Capital, on the Series D capital raise. “Clene’s noble mission coupled with a laser focus on delivering impressive results and consistently achieving milestone objectives, while partnering with the most credible third-party researchers and institutions around the world makes for a really exciting opportunity,” says Mike Bennett, CEO and Managing Partner of Crewe Capital.

First, having an understanding of the mechanics of our business and underlying science, and second, bringing broad relationships and reach with sophisticated investors seeking opportunities to participate in the emergence of innovative therapeutics that address the most critical and challenging health issues,” said Rob Etherington, President and CEO of Clene Nanomedicine. “Crewe also made the process efficient and enabled the company to stay focused on advancing the business, which was an invaluable benefit.”
