Study Update summary
3 Dec, 2025Key biomarker findings and study results
Statistically significant reductions in neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were observed with CNM-Au8 in ALS patients across the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial and NIH Expanded Access Program, including advanced and bulbar onset populations.
NfL and GFAP declines were highly concordant and strongly associated with improved survival, with the greatest biomarker reductions linked to up to 80% reduction in mortality risk.
In the HEALEY trial, CNM-Au8 30 mg showed a 73% risk reduction in mortality at 12 months (HR=0.272, p=0.0144) and a 52% risk reduction at 16 months (HR=0.481, p=0.0356) compared to controls.
Placebo participants who switched to CNM-Au8 demonstrated similar biomarker improvements and survival benefits, with an average of 30.7 additional days at one year and up to 51% risk reduction at 12 months.
The expanded access cohort included more advanced ALS patients, supporting the generalizability of findings.
Survival and clinical benefit analyses
Declines in NfL and GFAP AUC during the double-blind period were associated with significant survival benefits, with up to 80% risk reduction for those with the greatest biomarker decline.
Joint modeling showed each 1-unit increase in log NfL was associated with a 40% higher risk of death in ALS.
Additional analyses in external datasets (RESCUE-ALS, EAP01-02) confirmed improved long-term survival with CNM-Au8 versus matched controls.
The approach to using matched controls in the expanded access analysis was robust, matching for key baseline characteristics.
Updated survival analyses continue to show clinically meaningful and statistically significant benefits.
Safety and tolerability
Over 1,000 patient years of exposure show no significant safety concerns or trends for CNM-Au8.
No serious adverse events have been attributed to CNM-Au8 by investigators.
