"Jaguar is focused on two late-stage clinical events in the next approximately 6 to 7 months that we expect to be transformational in terms of value creation and recognition for the Company. Our key near-term clinical activity is our Phase 3 pivotal OnTarget trial of crofelemer for our core follow-on indication of prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD). We expect enrollment in this pivotal trial to complete in the second quarter of 2023," said Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president and CEO. "Our second prioritized clinical program centers around our approved investigator-initiated proof-of-concept trial of crofelemer for short bowel syndrome (SBS) and congenital diarrheal disorders (CDD). SBS and CDD are devastating and often catastrophic diseases for patients, who are frequently on parenteral nutrition for as long as 20 hours a day, seven days a week. Additional investigator-initiated requests and trials and clinical data for SBS and CDD are expected to come throughout 2023. In accordance with the guidelines of specific European Union countries, publications of proof-of concept data from these trials could support early patient access to crofelemer for SBS or CDD with intestinal failure within 2023 through programs in Europe. Early access programs are revenue generating, and reimbursable for participating patients."
