JanOne Readies Clinical Supply of Lead Product Candidate JAN101 for Distribution to Phase 2b Trial Sites

LAS VEGAS, June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- JanOne Inc. (Nasdaq: JAN), a company focused on developing treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and drugs with non-addictive, pain-relieving properties, today announced that its clinical packaging partner Xerimis has received the bottled clinical batch of JAN101 for the upcoming Phase 2b trial for treating Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and is readying the supply for labeling and distribution to clinical sites throughout the U.S. 

"We are pleased to report that our clinical supply of JAN101 is now ready for near-term release to our expected clinical trial sites in the upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial," said Tony Isaac, President and Chief Executive Officer of JanOne. "We are fully prepared and look forward to FDA approval of our new protocol."

JAN101 is intended to address the 8.5 million Americans who may have PAD. One of the more encouraging outcomes from patients who participated in early Phase 1 and Phase 2a trials of JAN101 was a reported reduction in associated PAD pain. According to a Stanford University research study, up to 24% of patients with PAD are at risk of high opioid use.¹ If JAN101 is successful, the potential increase in value to the medical community as a PAD treatment that also relieves associated pain without addictive properties could be significant. The U.S. market opportunity for JAN101 may result in a potential multibillion-dollar revenue stream for JanOne if the product candidate is approved as a new drug by the FDA.
