SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2023 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today announced that on November 8, 2023 the Company received formal notice that the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has granted Jaguar an additional 180-day grace period, through May 6, 2024, to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Staff noted that the Company meets all other applicable requirements for initial and continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To evidence compliance, the Company must report a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days on or before May 6, 2024.
"We are pleased to have obtained additional time from Nasdaq to evidence compliance with the bid price requirement," Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president and CEO, said. "Our paramount near-term clinical activity is our Phase 3 pivotal OnTarget trial of Mytesi for the follow-on indication of the preventative treatment of cancer therapy-related diarrhea, an indication we also refer to as chemotherapy-induced overactive bowel (CIOB) - which includes symptoms such as chronic debilitating diarrhea, GI urgency, and GI incontinence. Top line results from this pivotal study are expected before Thanksgiving."
Jaguar is supporting investigator-initiated and investigator IND proof-of-concept studies of crofelemer for the rare disease indications of microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and short bowel syndrome (SBS) with intestinal failure in the US, EU and Middle East/North Africa (MENA) regions, with results expected before the end of 2023 and in 2024. In accordance with the guidelines of specific EU countries, published data from such clinical investigations could support reimbursed early patient access to crofelemer for SBS or MVID for these debilitating conditions.
Crofelemer has been granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for both MVID and SBS with intestinal failure. The ODD programs in the U.S. and European Union qualify sponsors to receive potential incentives to develop therapies for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of rare diseases or conditions.
