Clene (NASDAQ:CLNN) stock is heading higher on Thursday following the release of data from a long-term clinical trial of CNM-Au8.

CNM-Au8 is the company’s treatment for patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The clinical trial saw these patients separated into two groups that were treated with CNM-Au8 or a placebo.

According to a news release from Clene, patients treated with CNM-Au8 experienced decreased mortality rates. 45 patients were included in the study and it lasted for 130 weeks. After that time, there were five deaths in the CNM-Au8 group and 14 deaths in the placebo group.

Rob Etherington, president and CEO of Clene, said the following in the press release:

We are very pleased to see these results and the apparent survival benefit that our investigational drug, CNM-Au8, appears to provide to people living with ALS. At this point, we are awaiting top-line data from the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial, which focuses on endpoints measuring patient function, survival and breathing over a six-month period in a much larger cohort.

News of the long-term trial data has CLNN stock experiencing incredibly heavy trading on Thursday. As of this writing, more than 22 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s a massive surge compared to its daily average trading volume of about 276,000 shares.
