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.
