Excerpt from the Press Release:

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 23, 2023 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Napo Pharmaceuticals (Napo) today announced that Dr. Kelly Shanahan, a former clinician and a metastatic breast cancer patient who is now a full-time independent patient advocate, has joined the Jaguar/Napo Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).

“We are very pleased that Dr. Shanahan has joined our SAB,” said Pravin Chaturvedi, PhD, Napo and Jaguar’s Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board and Chief Scientific Officer. “As both a health care provider and cancer patient, she shares our deep commitment to patient comfort and dignity, especially to the importance of preventing and ameliorating cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD), and to supportive care in cancer patients in general. She brings a unique and welcome perspective that will augment our clinical development program focused on addressing this very high unmet and neglected comorbidity of CTD.”

“I am thrilled about joining the Jaguar/Napo SAB and collaborating with the existing SAB members as well supporting the continued development of crofelemer, which has a unique physiological mechanism of addressing CTD,” said Dr. Shanahan. “With patient enrollment expected to complete in the second quarter of 2023 for the Company’s pivotal OnTarget Phase 3 clinical trial of crofelemer for prophylaxis of diarrhea in adult cancer patients receiving targeted therapy with or without chemotherapy, it is an exciting time to be a part of the Company’s SAB.
