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.

Jaguar Health has announced an out-licensing agreement with Magdalena Biosciences for a botanical drug candidate aimed at treating schizophrenia. This drug shows antipsychotic activity with a unique mechanism of action compared to current FDA-approved therapies. Under the deal, Jaguar will receive 10% of all upfront and milestone payments, excluding certain commercial milestones and R&D reimbursements. Additionally, Jaguar will earn royalties on net sales if the drug is FDA-approved and commercialized. The U.S. schizophrenia market is forecasted to reach $8.06 billion by 2030. Jaguar will present at the Lytham Partners Spring 2024 Investor Conference on May 30.
Jaguar Health announced that a third-party, investigator-initiated study of its plant-based drug, crofelemer, showed positive results for treating functional diarrhea. The study revealed that twice-daily oral doses of crofelemer significantly reduced abdominal pain and improved stool consistency compared to a placebo. Functional diarrhea, a chronic condition affecting 4.7% of adults globally, currently lacks effective treatments. Napo Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Jaguar, is planning to submit an abstract of the study to a peer-reviewed journal. Crofelemer is derived from the red bark sap of the Croton lechleri tree, harvested sustainably in the Amazon Rainforest.
Jaguar Health (NASDAQ: JAGX) is expanding its commercial footprint in cancer supportive care. The company will showcase Gelclair, an FDA-approved product for oral mucositis, at the ASCO Annual Meeting from May 31 to June 4. Gelclair, which Jaguar licensed for the U.S. market, is set for commercial launch in Q3 2024. Oral mucositis, a painful side effect of cancer treatment, affects up to 90% of head and neck cancer patients. Jaguar is also nearing top-line results for its phase 3 OnTarget trial of crofelemer to prevent cancer therapy-related diarrhea.
With 18 million Americans living with a cancer diagnosis, and over 2 million new cases expected in 2024, Jaguar's focus on improving cancer patient quality of life is significant. The company emphasizes Gelclair's ability to manage pain without numbing or stinging, potentially reducing hospitalizations and treatment interruptions. The economic impact of oral mucositis is considerable, with costs exceeding $17,000 for head and neck cancer patients.
Jaguar Health will implement a 1-for-60 reverse stock split of its common stock on May 23, 2024, following approval at the April 2024 Special Meeting of Stockholders.

Fractional shares will be settled in cash.
Equiniti Trust Company will handle the exchange process for stockholders holding certificates. No action is required for those with shares in brokerage accounts.
