Jaguar Health (NASDAQ:JAGX) announced positive proof-of-concept results for their drug crofelemer in treating a third intestinal failure patient. The novel liquid formulation demonstrated efficacy in reducing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) requirements in a second pediatric patient with short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF).
The results build on previously reported data showing crofelemer reduced TPN requirements by up to 27% in microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) patients and up to 12.5% in SBS-IF patients. Notably, when the first two patients were taken off crofelemer after 12 weeks of treatment, their symptoms worsened, leading to prompt reinstatement of the treatment.
The company is conducting multiple studies, including two independent proof-of-concept investigator-initiated trials (IITs) and two placebo-controlled Phase 2 studies. The Phase 2 study in pediatric MVID patients is expected to complete by mid-2026. Jaguar is actively seeking business development partnerships for licensing rights to develop and commercialize their intestinal failure products, aiming to generate non-dilutive funding.

A completed study of 200 dogs showed significant improvement in fecal scores using a revised endpoint analysis. The potential market is substantial, with 104 million dogs in Europe and approximately 6 million annual cases of acute and chronic diarrhea in U.S. veterinary practices.
