Jaguar Health (NASDAQ:JAGX) announced that its subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, will exhibit Gelclair, an FDA-approved oral mucositis prescription product, at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting from September 29 to October 2, 2024, in Washington, DC. Jaguar plans to launch Gelclair commercially in the U.S. in October 2024.
Gelclair is a protective gel that manages pain by adhering to the mouth's mucosal surface, providing relief for oral lesions, including those caused by oral mucositis/stomatitis. Unlike other products, it doesn't numb or sting the mouth. Oral mucositis, also known as "chemo mouth," affects up to 40% of chemotherapy patients and 90% of head and neck cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It can lead to hospitalization, treatment delays, and increased management costs.
The economic impact is significant, with a study showing that severe mucositis/pharyngitis in head and neck cancer patients can result in incremental costs exceeding $17,244 per patient. Jaguar aims to raise awareness among oncologists about Gelclair and its expanding focus on cancer supportive care at the ASTRO Annual Meeting.

2. Progressing rare disease development with multiple investigator-initiated proof-of-concept studies for crofelemer in microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure (SBS-IF). Results are expected by the end of 2024 and throughout 2025.
Jaguar also plans to enroll first patients for two global phase 2 studies for MVID and SBS-IF in Q4 2024. The company is continuing analysis of its pivotal phase 3 OnTarget trial of crofelemer for cancer therapy-related diarrhea, with a focus on breast and lung cancer patients.

Jaguar Health (NASDAQ:JAGX) announced that Dr. Eduardo Zimmer, a key collaborator with their joint venture Magdalena Biosciences, has received the prestigious Blas Frangione Early Career Achievement Award for 2024. This award recognizes early career researchers in Alzheimer's and dementia research.

Magdalena recently initiated preclinical studies in Brazil to evaluate two botanical drug candidates for treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other neuropsychiatric conditions in adults. These studies use FDG PET scans to assess differential neuronal activity, with analysis performed by Dr. Zimmer's consultancy. The research aims to determine optimal dosing and therapeutic indications for potential future FDA approval as botanical drugs.
