Hepion Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: $HEPA) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of targeted therapies for liver disease arising from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and chronic hepatitis virus infection (HBV, HCV, HDV).

Market cap: 177M
Outstanding: 76M
Employees: 12

Hepion announced top line data from the low dose cohort in the Company's Phase 2a ‘AMBITION' clinical trial of CRV431, an oral, once daily novel cyclophilin inhibitor. This Phase 2a study is continuing with the higher dose of 225 mg CRV431, with NASH patient dosing expected to be completed in Q1-2021.In 2021, of the more than 300 million people living with HBV infection, 10.5% (27 million) were aware of their infection. Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) affects up to 25% of people in the United States. There are currently no medicines that can cure non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease effectively. The same can be said with HBV. With the momentum growing around hepatitis B drug discovery research, we are closer than ever to a cure, if this company can seem to pull off this cure (which I do not think it'll cure it but mitigate the disease) we can expect at least $30.

Currently trading at $2.2 due to a public offering of 44.000.000 shares @ $2

According to analysts' consensus price target of $80.00, Hepion Pharmaceuticals has a forecasted upside of 3,503.6% from its current price of $2.22.
