LAS VEGAS, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JanOne Inc.
(NASDAQ: JAN), a company focused on bringing treatments to market
for conditions that cause severe pain and drugs with non-addictive
pain-relieving properties, has received confirmation from the
Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the investigational
new drug (IND) sponsorship transfer covering its sodium nitrite
tablets previously held by Soin Neuroscience. The sodium nitrite
sustained release tablet is the clinical candidate TV1001SR,
formulated to treat PAD and other vascular conditions.
Manufacturing of TV1001SR is underway and phase 2b trials for PAD are expected to begin later
this year. There is no current treatment for PAD and over 8.5
million Americans suffer from the disease.
Sodium nitrite has demonstrated positive results on vascular
conditions, such as PAD, diabetic neuropathy and even vascular
decline associated with normal aging. In previous preclinical and
clinical studies, sodium nitrite has shown promise repairing and
restoring vascular function with minimal adverse events. In
addition, in an aged mice study, nitrite administration has been
shown to reduce the production of vascular inflammation and
thrombosis (blockages).
"The transfer of the IND is significant not only for advancing
JanOne's clinical research for PAD treatment but other indications
as well," remarked Dr. Tony
Giordano, JanOne's chief scientific officer.
The TV1001SR IND was previously held by Soin Neuroscience, whose
founder Dr. Amol Soin, now serves as
JanOne's chief medical officer. Dr. Soin, in collaboration
with Dr. Giordano and JanOne's scientific advisory board chair, Dr.
Christopher Kevil, are the nation's
leading experts on sodium nitrite. This includes its use for
treatment of vascular conditions such as PAD, vascular inflammation
caused by PAD and diabetic neuropathy. The transfer of the
IND from Soin Neuroscience to JanOne was managed by JanOne's
clinical partner, Cato Research, an international regulatory and
clinical contract research organization (CRO) with a proven
track record for cardiovascular pharmaceutical agents.
Tony Isaac, Chief Executive
Officer of JanOne commented, "We would like to thank Cato Research
for their assistance in the IND transfer process. They are
true partners from strategy to approval. We look forward to
moving forward with our clinical trials for PAD and to explore
other possibilities for the application of TV1001SR."
