Current report
As part of our strategy to expand our commercial footprint beyond HIV-related supportive care to include cancer-related supportive care, on April 12, 2024, we entered into an exclusive 5-year in-license agreement with United Kingdom-based Venture Life Group PLC (“Venture Life”), an international consumer health company focused on the global self-care market, for Venture Life's 510(k) cleared oral mucositis prescription product, Gelclair, for the US market. Gelclair is a 510(k) cleared prescription product and can be commercialized without any clinical development costs for Jaguar. We initiated the commercial launch in October 2024 for Gelclair. Oral mucositis is among the most common, painful, and debilitating cancer treatment-related side effects. Gelclair is a protective gel with a mechanical action indicated for the management of pain and relief of pain by adhering to the mucosal surface of the mouth, soothing oral lesions of various etiologies, including oral mucositis/stomatitis. Unlike other products for oral mucositis, it is not a numbing agent and does not sting the mouth.
Current report
Jaguar is currently supporting three proof-of-concept (POC) investigator-initiated trials (IIT), and conducting two Phase 2 studies, of crofelemer for the rare diseases short bowel syndrome (SBS) with intestinal failure and/or MVID in the US, EU, and/or Middle East/North Africa regions. The Company’s Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of crofelemer for MVID in pediatric patients has been initiated, as has the Company’s Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of crofelemer for SBS with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) in adults, the independent IIT of crofelemer in pediatric patients with SBS-IF or MVID in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and the independent IIT in the US to evaluate crofelemer for SBS-IF in adults. The additional IIT is expected to initiate in Q2 2025, with the availability of the first POC IIT result potentially in H1 2025, and with additional POC IIT results expected throughout 2025. In accordance with the guidelines of specific European Union countries, published data from such clinical investigations could support reimbursed early patient access to crofelemer for these debilitating conditions in 2025 while the company pursues approval of crofelemer for SBS and MVID from the EMA and the FDA. Participation in early access programs, which do not exist in the US, provides an opportunity for reimbursement while impacting the morbidity and high cost of care for these chronic unmet needs. Additionally, the Company expects that if even just a very small number of MVID patients show benefit with crofelemer, this may potentially allow pathways for regulatory approval in the US and other regions and qualify crofelemer for participation in PRIME, a European Medicines Agency (EMA) program providing enhanced interaction and early dialogue with drug developers of novel medicines targeting unmet medical needs, and in the FDA’s Breakthrough Therapies program. If a drug is designated as breakthrough therapy, the FDA will expedite the development and review of the drug.
Current report
The global phase 2 trial of crofelemer in adults with SBS-IF is taking place under a Clinical Trial Application ("CTA") approved by European health authorities. We expect that enrollment will continue in 2025 for the MVID phase 2 trial and the phase 2 trial for SBS with intestinal failure, with data expected in the beginning of 2026 for both trials.
Current report
As announced, Jaguar is seeking a partner to fund and execute the development and commercialization of NP-300 for the treatment of general, non-infectious diarrhea in dogs, in exchange for commercial rights to the product in the US Diarrhea is one of the most common reasons for veterinary office visits for dogs and is the second most common reason for visits to the veterinary emergency room, yet there are currently no FDA-approved drug to treat canine diarrhea. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there were an estimated 89.7 million dogs in the United States in 2024, with nearly half (45.5%) of US households owning a dog in 2024. Devastating diarrhea-related dehydration can occur rapidly for the animal, and the lack of control in urban settings where owners don't have easy access to outdoor facilities is a significant problem for families with dogs. Jaguar estimates that estimate that US veterinarians see approximately six million cases of acute and chronic diarrhea in dogs annually.
Current report
As announced, Jaguar recently executed an out-license deal with Magdalena for a botanical drug candidate for possible schizophrenia and psychoses indications and for development with potential corporate partners. Sourced from a medicinal plant that has a long history of use by traditional healers, the drug candidate demonstrates antipsychotic activity and has a mechanism of action distinct from currently FDA-approved therapies for schizophrenia and other mental conditions that present psychotic symptoms. The drug candidate may have the potential to be the first in a new class of plant-based antipsychotic compounds.

Current report
Inflation Reduction Act
Current report
The Inflation Reduction Act, effective January 1, 2023, introduces several provisions that may impact the Company's operations and financial results. While the full effects of the Act on future results are uncertain, management acknowledges potential changes in market conditions, tax incentives, and regulatory requirements that could arise as a result of this legislation.

Lease Commitments
Current report
The Company's lease obligations constitute a significant portion of its operating expenses and are anticipated to affect future cash flows. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has committed to multiple lease agreements, including a primary office lease in San Francisco that was amended on October 25, 2023, and extends until February 28, 2025. Accordingly, Suite 600’s base rent was amended to $22,000 monthly on its remaining terms.
Current report
Additionally, the Company has entered into a lease for Suite 400, which commenced on September 1, 2023, which was subsequently amended on October 25, 2023 and accounted for as a separate lease commencing on September 1, 2023, and expiring on August 31, 2030. The base rent for Suite 400 was $18,000 monthly in the first two years, $18,000 monthly in the third and fourth years, $19,000 monthly in the fifth and sixth years, $20,000 monthly in the seventh and eighth years, and $21,000 in the last year.
Current report
Given these escalating lease commitments, particularly the planned increases in base rent and the uncertainties surrounding the potential exercise of extension options, the Company is focused on maintaining effective liquidity management strategies to address potential cash flow impacts. Moreover, fluctuations in occupancy rates or operational changes may affect the utilization of leased spaces, thereby influencing amortization expenses associated with right-of-use assets.
Current report
The Company regularly evaluates its lease portfolio and market conditions to make informed decisions regarding future lease renewals or new lease agreements. Effective management of these lease liabilities will be essential for ensuring operational flexibility and financial stability in the upcoming years.

Current wording
Jaguar Health, Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage pharmaceuticals company focused on developing novel, plant-based, sustainably derived prescription medicines for people and animals with gastrointestinal (“GI”) distress, including chronic, debilitating diarrhea. Jaguar's wholly owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), focuses on developing and commercializing proprietary plant-based human prescriptions from plants for essential supportive care and management of neglected GI symptoms across multiple complicated disease states. Our crofelemer drug product candidate is the subject of the OnTarget study, a recently conducted pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for prophylaxis of diarrhea in adult cancer patients receiving targeted therapy. The recently completed analysis of the prespecified subgroup of adult patients with breast cancer from OnTarget indicates that crofelemer achieved statistical significance in this subgroup. Patients with breast cancer accounted for 183 of the 287 participants in this unprecedented prophylactic clinical trial in adult patients with solid tumors receiving targeted therapy with or without standard chemotherapy. The OnTarget results in breast cancer were the subject of a poster presentation conducted December 11, 2024 at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium ("SABCS"). Overall, crofelemer was significantly more effective than placebo in providing sustained response in breast cancer patients in OnTarget, potentially helping them stay on their cancer therapies. This research underscores the potential of crofelemer for prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (“CTD”). A full study report for the breast cancer results is expected to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.

Jaguar, through Napo, holds global unencumbered rights for crofelemer, Mytesi, and Canalevia-CA1. Additionally, several drug product opportunities in Jaguar’s crofelemer pipeline are backed by Phase 2 and POC evidence from human clinical trials.
