LAS VEGAS, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JanOne Inc. (NASDAQ:JAN) Scientific Advisory Board Chair, Dr. Christopher Kevil sat down with Eric Bolling, JanOne's President and Chairman and host of America This Week, to discuss the effects of the company's lead drug candidate, TV1001SR, for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and associated pain. Dr. Kevil was joined by renowned pain expert, Dr. Amol Soin, and both provided their insights and perspective for an approach that treats the mechanisms of a disease process, such as in PAD, and concurrently can have significant pain relieving qualities. Of particular interest was how in prior studies TV1001SR was able to treat both the underlying condition and the associated pain with no addictive repercussions. The company believes that this could mitigate the need for prescription opioids that often come with a risk for addiction, when patients are suffering from severe pain.

"We are excited about the prospects to successfully treat cardiovascular conditions but also the potential for treating other conditions that cause severe pain. Initial studies surpassed expectations for its potential with PAD and for other conditions such as diabetic neuropathy and wound healing. This was a result of some patients who saw increased blood flow and the repair of damaged nerves," said Dr. Kevil, JanOne's scientific advisory board chair. "We are looking forward to the advancement of these treatments in the coming year, especially if this ultimately replaces the need for addictive prescription opioids to treat disease associated pain."

The full interview with Drs. Kevil and Soin can be seen on the KVLA website at the end of the America this week episode that aired on January 22, 2020.
