JanOne Inc. — Cyborg Score 4/10

Challenged
Clinical-stage biopharmaceutical development - pain and addiction therapeutics

Strategic Profile

JanOne's mission is to bring treatments to the market for diseases that cause severe pain and to find non-addictive answers for treating pain. Its lead product candidate is JAN101, a patented oral and sustained release pharmaceutical composition of sodium nitrite that targets poor blood flow to the extremities in patients with diabetes or peripheral artery disease to treat pain.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Early-stage biotech company with modest market cap (~$27M) and volatile stock performance. Clinical-stage pipeline with lead candidate JAN101; however, limited revenue generation and significant shareholder losses over three years temper near-term prospects.
