Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAGX) is a commercial-stage pharmaceuticals company specializing in the development of novel prescription medicines sustainably derived from natural plant sources in rainforest areas. The company's primary focus is on addressing gastrointestinal (GI) distress in both humans and animals, with an emphasis on chronic debilitating diarrhea and associated symptoms such as urgency, bowel incontinence, and cramping pain.
Jaguar Health operates through several subsidiaries, including Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which develops and commercializes proprietary human GI pharmaceuticals globally. One of its flagship products, Mytesi® (crofelemer), is FDA-approved for symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy. The company’s lead animal prescription drug candidate, Canalevia™, targets forms of diarrhea in dogs, while Equilevia™ supports total gut health in equine athletes.
In addition, Jaguar Health, through its Napo Pharmaceuticals subsidiary, is advancing the development of crofelemer with the ongoing OnTarget study, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial aimed at the preventive treatment of chemotherapy-induced overactive bowel (CIOB) in adults with cancer on targeted therapy. Crofelemer has also been designated an Orphan Drug by the FDA and European Medicines Agency for short bowel syndrome (SBS) and microvillus inclusion disease (MVID).
Jaguar Health’s commitment to cancer supportive care is showcased through its preparation to launch Gelclair®, an FDA-approved oral mucositis prescription product, in Q3 2024. This initiative is part of their broader strategy to support cancer patients facing severe treatment side effects.
Beyond GI distress, Jaguar Health has a joint venture called Magdalena Biosciences, in collaboration with Filament Health Corp. This venture focuses on developing plant-based prescription medicines for mental health indications. A recent out-licensing agreement with Magdalena includes a botanical drug candidate for potential schizophrenia and psychoses indications.
Jaguar Health’s financial performance reflects consistent growth, with Q1 2024 revenue at approximately $2.4 million, showing a 20% increase from Q1 2023. Despite operational losses, the company continues to invest in research and development, particularly for rare disease treatments.
