    SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) today provided updates regarding the company’s strategic focus on its rare disease development program for crofelemer, which is focused on near-term milestones for the treatment of intestinal failure in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF) and microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). The company has received Orphan Drug Designation for both diseases for crofelemer in the US and EU. This development effort is being fueled by the non-dilutive funds received from the recent closing of an out-license agreement for the US rights to commercialize Mytesi and Canalevai-CA1, and is a potential blockbuster opportunity for all Jaguar stakeholders, including patients.

    “As we were pleased to announce last week, Jaguar is now focusing first and foremost on our ongoing global development program for our powder-for-oral-solution formulation of crofelemer for intestinal failure – a program that is the subject of business development discussions with potential partners and gives us the opportunity to potentially bring crofelemer to market next year following the filing of an NDA (New Drug Application) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for crofelemer for our lead target indication, MVID,” said Lisa Conte, founder, president, and CEO. “Crofelemer has demonstrated groundbreaking benefit in pediatric patients – demonstrating reductions in parenteral support (PS), which has a lethal natural history – in this patient population. The safety of locally acting crofelemer continues to be a hallmark of the drug and a critical factor in assessing the benefit / risk for intestinal failure patients.”

    Intestinal failure is a debilitating condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute parenteral support (PS). Many intestinal failure patients require PS up to 7 days a week, and sometimes for 20 hours or more per day. While crucial for intestinal failure patients, PS is associated with significant toxicities to patients, similar to some toxicities associated with chemotherapy, often causing serious health problems including infections, metabolic complications, and liver and kidney function problems. These symptoms may emerge at any time in intestinal failure patients and often become life-threatening.

    As announced, the groundbreaking initial results of the ongoing and independent proof-of-concept study of crofelemer in pediatric patients in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with intestinal failure due to MVID and short bowel syndrome were presented November 8, 2025 at the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Annual Meeting by the study’s primary investigator, Dr. Mohamad Miqdady, Division Chief of the Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition Division at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, a tertiary care center in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The initial results demonstrate disease progression modification with crofelemer through reduction of parenteral support (PS) in pediatric intestinal failure patients that ranged from 12 to 37%. Specifically, in two pediatric SBS-IF patients who have completed treatment, the results show crofelemer reduced PS between 12.5 to 15.6% at the highest dose over the 12-week treatment period, together with reduced loose watery stools frequency. For the initial MVID patient who has completed treatment, PS needs were reduced by up to 27% at the highest dose over the initial 12-week treatment period and up to 37% during the extension period upon reinitiation of crofelemer treatment, and showed reduced frequency of loose watery stools. These findings are important because PS treatment has a lethal natural history, and crofelemer can potentially extend and save the lives of patients by reducing the volume of PS.

    With continued demonstration of clinical benefit in Jaguar’s ongoing placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients, which is expected to complete in the second quarter of 2026, and because MVID is an ultrarare disease for which no approved treatments currently exist, Jaguar hopes to achieve Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA for crofelemer to accelerate the US regulatory path to market for MVID and qualify crofelemer for the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) PRIME (priority medicines) program for MVID to accelerate the regulatory path to market in all 27 EU countries. “That’s how unprecedented and paradigm-shifting crofelemer’s mechanism of action and the initial results are in intestinal failure patients with MVID,” said Conte. “MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of only 100-200 patients, so a trial of crofelemer in just a small number of MVID patients is expected to be statistically meaningful and support registration.”

    In light of the initial results of the investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of crofelemer in the UAE for treatment of MVID and in support of Jaguar’s efforts to make crofelemer available to children with MVID as quickly and efficiently as possible, as announced, the company met with the FDA on October 2, 2025 to seek their advice regarding Jaguar’s ongoing clinical trial of crofelemer for MVID treatment. Based on the feedback from the FDA during this meeting, as announced, the company submitted an amended protocol to the FDA in November 2025 for its ongoing placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients. Jaguar has also filed a request to allow patients who complete the blinded phase of the study to continue on crofelemer treatment, as has been requested by the study investigator. Jaguar’s expectation is that the amended protocol, along with the results of this study, if positive, will support a faster FDA review and approval of crofelemer for MVID.

    Crofelemer has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA and the EMA for SBS and MVID. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) affects approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the US, according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and it is estimated that the population of SBS patients in Europe is approximately the same size. A report by DataM Intelligence estimates that the size of the global short bowel syndrome market will reach $7.93 billion by 2033. MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 100-200 patients, characterized by severe malabsorption that requires life-sustaining parenteral support to meet the nutritional, fluid and electrolyte requirements of the child. MVID has a lethal natural history along with significant co-morbidities.

    The UAE has a significantly high prevalence of congenital disorders (birth defects) and genetic conditions, due to the frequency of consanguineous marriage. Many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world, ranging around 20-50% of all marriages.

    In addition to running the company’s ongoing placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of crofelemer for MVID at sites in the US, EU, and Middle East and supporting the ongoing independent crofelemer study in the UAE, Jaguar family company Napo Pharmaceuticals is conducting a placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in adult SBS-IF patients and supporting a US IIT of crofelemer in adult SBS-IF patients. The company is also supporting evaluation of crofelemer powder for oral solution in expanded access programs to treat intestinal failure in pediatric patients with MVID in the US.

  • Jaguar Health Enters into U.S. License Agreement with Future Pak for Crofelemer, Providing up to $38 Million

    Jaguar Health Enters into U.S. License Agreement with Future Pak for Crofelemer, Providing up to $38 Million

    • $18M upfront payment to Jaguar ($16M upon deal closing and $2M upon completion of post-closing conditions)

    • Up to additional $20M in milestone and other future payments

    • Future Pak becomes exclusive U.S. marketer for Mytesi® and Canalevia®-CA1

    • Jaguar continues to be the manufacturer of Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1

    • Meaningful non-dilutive capital enables Jaguar to focus on its rare-disease pipeline, which is the subject of ongoing BD discussions with other potential partners

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 12, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, with Jaguar Health, Inc., “Jaguar”) has entered into a U.S. licensing agreement with an affiliate of privately held Future Pak, LLC (“Future Pak”). Under the terms of the agreement, Future Pak will be the exclusive marketer for Mytesi (crofelemer), Jaguar’s FDA-approved novel prescription drug for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy, and Canalevia-CA1, Jaguar’s crofelemer prescription drug for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs. Jaguar will receive an $18 million upfront fee ($16 million at deal closing and $2 million upon completion of post-closing conditions) and up to $20 million in milestone payments and other future payments. Jaguar will continue to manufacture Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 for Future Pak.

    In September 2025, Future Pak acquired Theratechnologies Inc., a specialty biopharmaceutical company with two commercialized HIV medicines in the United States – EGRIFTA WR (tesamorelin) and Trogarzo® (ibalizumab-uiyk). “Jaguar’s license arrangement with Future Pak represents a strategic convergence for heightening awareness of Mytesi and the importance of supportive care for HIV long-term survivors – allowing the HIV community to benefit from the commercial capabilities of an organization with deep experience and a primary focus on the U.S. HIV market. Importantly, this agreement will provide Jaguar with meaningful non-dilutive capital while reducing the company’s operational complexity,” said Lisa Conte, founder, president, and CEO. “This agreement is fully aligned with our strategy to concentrate Jaguar’s crofelemer development efforts on human rare-disease indications, particularly intestinal failure, where we continue to advance business development discussions with additional potential partners.”

    As stated above, the agreement also provides Future Pak with an exclusive license to Canalevai-CA1, Jaguar’s supportive care GI drug for dogs. Per the terms of the agreement, Jaguar has a 12-month right to reacquire Future Pak’s Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 rights in the event of U.S. regulatory approval of mutually agreed-upon additional crofelemer indications in the same formulation as Mytesi after a specified period. This structure preserves Jaguar’s optionality as the company’s rare-disease pipeline progresses and benefits from Jaguar’s sharp strategic focus on rare disease indications for crofelemer over the next few years.

    Crofelemer continues to advance as a potential treatment for rare forms of intestinal failure, including intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF) and microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). Multiple investigator-initiated and company-sponsored studies of crofelemer are ongoing in the U.S., the European Union and the United Arab Emirates, with initial proof-of-concept data showing significant reductions in parenteral support (PS) requirements in pediatric MVID and SBS-IF patients.

    With continued demonstration of clinical benefit in Jaguar’s ongoing Phase 2 studies in MVID and SBS-IF, Jaguar hopes to achieve Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for crofelemer for the treatment of MVID, and bring the product to market for this indication in the U.S. based on the study results expected in March 2026.

    Intestinal failure is a debilitating condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute PS. Many intestinal failure patients require PS up to 7 days a week, and sometimes for 20 hours or more per day. While crucial for intestinal failure patients, PS is associated with significant toxicities to patients, similar to some toxicities associated with chemotherapy, often causing serious health problems including infections, metabolic complications, and liver and kidney function problems. These symptoms may emerge at any time in intestinal failure patients and often become life-threatening.

    Article About Groundbreaking Results from Study of Jaguar Health’s Crofelemer for Treatment of Intestinal Failure Featured in United Arab Emirates Healthcare Publication

    • Article discusses results demonstrating parenteral support (PS) reduction ranging from 12 to 37% in ongoing proof-of-concept study of crofelemer in pediatric patients with intestinal failure

    • Associated with significant toxicities to patients, PS has a lethal natural history, and PS reduction can potentially extend and save lives

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 6, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (Jaguar) today announced that an article published December 29, 2025 in HEALTH, a bi-monthly English and Arabic healthcare magazine in the United Arab Emirates, discusses the groundbreaking results of the ongoing and independent proof-of-concept study of crofelemer in pediatric patients in the UAE with intestinal failure due to the orphan diseases short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF) and microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). As announced, the initial results of this study were presented November 8, 2025 at the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Annual Meeting by the study’s primary investigator, Dr. Mohamad Miqdady, Division Chief of the Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition Division at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, a tertiary care center in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The article can be viewed by clicking here.

    The initial results of the proof-of-concept trial of crofelemer in the UAE demonstrate disease progression modification through reduction of parenteral support (PS) in pediatric intestinal failure patients that ranged from 12 to 37%. Specifically, in two pediatric SBS-IF patients who have completed treatment, the results show crofelemer reduced PS between 12.5 to 15.6% at the highest dose over the 12-week treatment period, together with reduced loose watery stools frequency. For the initial MVID patient who has completed treatment, PS needs were reduced by up to 27% at the highest dose over the initial 12-week treatment period and up to 37% during the extension period upon reinitiation of crofelemer treatment, and showed reduced frequency of loose watery stools. These findings are important because PS treatment has a lethal natural history, and crofelemer can potentially extend and save the lives of patients by reducing the volume of PS.

    The intestines of patients with intestinal failure due to SBS-IF and MVID are unable to function like an intact gut. Intestinal failure is a debilitating condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute PS. Many intestinal failure patients require PS up to 7 days a week, and sometimes for 20 hours or more per day. While crucial for intestinal failure patients, PS is associated with significant toxicities to patients, similar to some toxicities associated with chemotherapy, often causing serious health problems including infections, metabolic complications, and liver and kidney function problems. These symptoms may emerge at any time in intestinal failure patients and often become life-threatening.

    The UAE has a significantly high prevalence of congenital disorders (birth defects) and genetic conditions, due to the frequency of consanguineous marriage. Many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world, ranging around 20-50% of all marriages.

    Short bowel syndrome (SBS) affects approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the US, according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and it is estimated that the population of SBS patients in Europe is approximately the same size. MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 100-200 patients, characterized by severe malabsorption that requires life-sustaining parenteral support to meet the nutritional, fluid and electrolyte requirements of the child, and for which there are currently no approved treatments. MVID has a lethal natural history along with significant co-morbidities. The ability of crofelemer to decrease the volume of parenteral support in MVID patients is potentially life extending for these patients and is thus disease progression modifying.

    In addition to supporting the ongoing crofelemer study in the UAE, Jaguar family company Napo Pharmaceuticals is conducting a placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in adult SBS-IF patients at sites in the EU, and a placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients at sites in the US, EU, and Middle East. The company is also supporting evaluation of crofelemer powder for oral solution in expanded access programs to treat intestinal failure in pediatric patients with MVID in the US.

    Crofelemer has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency for SBS and MVID. In October 2025, as announced, the company completed a meeting with the FDA in support of a possible expedited approval pathway for crofelemer for MVID.

  • Jaguar Health Awarded $240,000 FDA Grant in Support of Canalevia-CA1 for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs

    Jaguar Health Awarded $240,000 FDA Grant in Support of Canalevia-CA1 for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs

    SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 2, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar”) today announced that it received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) on January 1, 2026 that the company has been awarded a $240,000 grant. Canalevia-CA1 is currently conditionally approved for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in dogs. The grant will support Jaguar’s ongoing study for the treatment of CID in dogs.

    “As announced on December 10, 2025, the FDA granted renewal of the conditional approval for Canalevia-CA1 for a fifth and final year, through December 21, 2026, for the treatment of CID in dogs. In order to receive a full veterinary drug approval for the indication of CID, Jaguar must complete and file a successful effectiveness study,” said Dr. Michael Guy, D.V.M., M.S., Ph.D., Jaguar’s Vice President of Preclinical and Nonclinical Studies.

    Dogs undergoing chemotherapy are an important predictive model for the mechanism of action in humans experiencing diarrhea due to cancer treatment. Many cancer treatment agents provided to dogs are human drugs, or have the same mechanism of action as human cancer drugs, and these agents and mechanisms of action often have meaningful rates of diarrhea in dogs and humans.

    A report by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation concluded that there were approximately 90 million dogs in the U.S. in 2024, of which Jaguar estimates more than 11 million suffer from general diarrhea each year. Data from the European Pet Food Industry Federation concluded that there were approximately 104 million dogs in Europe in 2022.

    Canalevia is not an antibiotic drug. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics, both in humans and animals, contribute to the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

    Diarrhea is one of the most common reasons dogs are seen by general practice veterinarians and is the second most common reason for visits to veterinary emergency hospitals, yet there is currently no FDA-approved drug to treat general, non-infectious diarrhea in dogs. Devastating diarrhea-related dehydration can occur rapidly for the animal, and the lack of easy access to outdoor facilities is a significant problem for families living in urban settings with dogs.

    About Chemotherapy-induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs

    According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 1 in 4 dogs will at some stage in their life develop cancer. Nearly half of dogs over 10 will develop cancer.1 According to the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, roughly 6 million new cancer diagnoses are made in dogs yearly in the US.

    Due to the increasing number of chemotherapeutic agents, chemotherapy is fast becoming the most widely used cancer treatment in veterinary medicine. Studies have found the incidence of CID to be one of the three most prevalent side effects in dogs undergoing cancer treatment,2 and managing side-effects such as diarrhea can be important to maintain successful cancer treatment. More than half of the US veterinarians who responded to a Jaguar-sponsored survey reported that CID interferes with their canine patients’ chemotherapy treatment plans, indicating an unmet need for an effective product for the treatment of CID.

    Important Safety Information About Canalevia®-CA1

    For oral use in dogs only. Not for use in humans. Keep Canalevia-CA1 in a secure location out of reach of children and other animals. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. Do not use in dogs that have a known hypersensitivity to crofelemer. Prior to using Canalevia-CA1, rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea. Canalevia-CA1 is a conditionally approved drug indicated for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs. The most common adverse reactions included decreased appetite, decreased activity, dehydration, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

    Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Use only as directed. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product other than as directed in the labeling. Conditionally approved by FDA pending a full demonstration of effectiveness under application number 141-552.

  • Jaguar Health Announces Abstract Submission for Preliminary Data from US Investigator-Initiated Trial of Crofelemer in Adult Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome with Intestinal Failure (SBS-IF)

    Jaguar Health Announces Abstract Submission for Preliminary Data from US Investigator-Initiated Trial of Crofelemer in Adult Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome with Intestinal Failure (SBS-IF)

    SBS-IF is the second orphan disease target indication for Jaguar’s intestinal failure program, which includes microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) – for which the company completed a meeting in October 2025 with the FDA in support of a possible expedited approval pathway

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 15, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (Jaguar) today announced that Jaguar family company Napo Pharmaceuticals‘ (Napo’s) independent investigator at a leading SBS-IF treatment institution submitted an abstract describing preliminary findings from a clinical trial evaluating a novel oral liquid formulation of crofelemer in adult SBS-IF patients. This abstract is for consideration for presentation at the May 2-5, 2026 Digestive Disease Week® conference. The submission supports Jaguar’s strategic focus on intestinal failure in adult short bowel syndrome patients, where reducing dependence on parenteral support remains a critical unmet need. An overview of the study can be viewed on the ClinicalTrials.gov website. SBS-IF is the second orphan disease target indication for Jaguar’s intestinal failure program, which includes the ultrarare genetic disorder microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). In October 2025 the company completed a meeting with the FDA in support of a possible expedited approval pathway for crofelemer for MVID.

    “Findings from independent investigator-initiated studies provide proof-of-concept data and continue to build the evidence supporting crofelemer’s ability to reduce stool and stomal output and the drug’s potential to reduce parenteral support needs in patients with intestinal failure – a core focus of the company for treating rare and orphan GI disorders,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s founder, president, and CEO.

    The intestines of patients with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome are unable to function like an intact gut, a similar situation to that in patients with intestinal failure due to MVID. Intestinal failure is a debilitating condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute parenteral support (PS). Many intestinal failure patients require PS up to 7 days a week, and sometimes for 20 hours or more per day. While crucial for intestinal failure patients, PS is associated with significant toxicities to patients, similar to some toxicities associated with chemotherapy, often causing serious health problems including infections, metabolic complications, and liver and kidney function problems. These symptoms may emerge at any time in intestinal failure patients, and often become life-threatening.

    As announced, and as presented November 8, 2025 at the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Annual Meeting, the initial results of the ongoing and independent proof-of-concept trial of crofelemer in the United Arab Emirates demonstrate disease progression modification through reduction of PS in pediatric intestinal failure patients that ranged from 12 to 37%. Specifically, in two pediatric SBS-IF patients who have completed treatment, the results show crofelemer reduced PS between 12.5 to 15.6% at the highest dose over the 12-week treatment period, together with reduced loose watery stools frequency. For the initial MVID patient who has completed treatment, PS needs were reduced by up to 27% at the highest dose over the initial 12-week treatment period and up to 37% during the extension period upon reinitiation of crofelemer treatment, and showed reduced frequency of loose watery stools. These findings support continued evaluation of crofelemer to reduce PS needs for pediatric intestinal failure patients.

    Short bowel syndrome (SBS) affects approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the US, according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and it is estimated that the population of SBS patients in Europe is approximately the same size. MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 100-200 patients, characterized by severe malabsorption that requires life-sustaining parenteral support to meet the nutritional, fluid and electrolyte requirements of the child, and for which there are currently no approved treatments. MVID has a lethal natural history along with significant co-morbidities.

    In addition to supporting the ongoing IIT at this US institution, Napo is conducting a placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in adult SBS-IF patients at sites in the EU, and a placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients at sites in the US, EU, and Middle East. The company is also supporting evaluation of crofelemer powder for oral solution in expanded access programs to treat intestinal failure in pediatric patients with MVID in the US.

    Crofelemer has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency for SBS and MVID.

  • FDA Approves Renewal of Canalevia-CA1, Jaguar Health’s Drug for Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs

    FDA Approves Renewal of Canalevia-CA1, Jaguar Health’s Drug for Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs

    • Conditional approval extended through December 2026 for the treatment of CID in dogs

    • CID confirmatory effectiveness trial expected to conclude in February 2026, ahead of FDA’s June deadline – 51 dogs enrolled to date; ~49 more expected

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 10, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted renewal of the conditional approval for Canalevia-CA1 (crofelemer delayed-release tablets). Canalevia-CA1, the company’s prescription drug for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in dogs, is available from multiple leading veterinary distributors in the U.S., including Chewy. The renewal of conditional approval is in effect until December 21, 2026.

    “Canalevia-CA1 is an important prescription drug for the veterinary community and the thousands of dogs experiencing CID. We’re very pleased about this conditional approval renewal, which, per FDA regulations, is for the fifth and final allowable year of conditional approval for Canalevia-CA1 for the CID indication in dogs. When an animal drug receives conditional approval, the FDA requires that a confirmatory trial take place within 5 years to provide the substantial evidence of effectiveness required for full approval of the drug for the indication,” said Dr. Michael Guy, D.V.M., M.S., Ph.D., Jaguar’s Vice President of Preclinical and Nonclinical Studies. “As announced, our full effectiveness study of Canalevia-CA1 for the treatment of CID in dogs is underway, and this recent conditional approval renewal was granted because we were able to demonstrate active progress toward generating this required data.”

    “Diarrhea is a highly neglected and unmet medical need in dogs and people undergoing cancer treatment,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s president and CEO. “Jaguar is deeply committed to supporting the quality of life of people and animals undergoing cancer treatment.”

    About Conditional Approval and Full Approval

    Canalevia-CA1 initially received conditional approval in December 2021 from the FDA for the treatment of CID in dogs. FDA’s conditional approval allows a drug company to legally promote, advertise and sell the animal drug for the labeled uses before proving it meets the “substantial evidence” standard of effectiveness for full approval. The conditional approval is valid for one year, with up to four annual renewals, for a total of five years of conditional approval. To receive a renewal from the FDA, the company must show active progress toward proving “substantial evidence of effectiveness” for full approval. After collecting the remaining effectiveness data, the company then applies to the FDA for full approval. The FDA reviews the application and, if appropriate, fully approves the drug.

    About Canalevia®-CA1

    Canalevia-CA1 contains crofelemer, Jaguar’s novel, oral plant-based drug sustainably harvested from the Croton lechleri tree, that modulates chloride channels in the gastrointestinal tract to reduce diarrhea. Importantly, Canalevia is not an antibiotic drug. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics, both in humans and animals, contribute to the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Canalevia-CA1, currently conditionally approved by the FDA under application number 141-552, is a tablet that can be given orally twice a day for up to three days and can be used for home treatment of CID in dogs.

    About Chemotherapy-induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs

    According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 1 in 4 dogs will at some stage in their life develop cancer.
