Jaguar CEO Lisa Conte Will Also Participate in an Orphan Drug Panel Presentation on September 28th During the Lytham Partners Fall 2022 Investor Conference
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2022 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today announced that on September 28, 2022 Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president, founder, and CEO, will present at the virtual Lytham Partners Fall 2022 Investor Conference in addition to participating in a panel presentation titled "Orphan Drugs: Innovative Companies Addressing Rare Diseases" at the conference. Additionally, Conte will present at the Ladenburg Thalmann 2022 Healthcare Conference on September 29, 2022.
"I was so pleased to be invited to speak at the orphan drug panel at Lytham Partners' conference," Conte said. "Jaguar believes the clinical progress related to our target orphan indications of short bowel syndrome (SBS) and congenital diarrheal diseases (CDD) could be transformational in terms of value creation and recognition for the Company in the next approximately six months. Orphan drugs accounted for 52 percent of the total 50 novel drugs approved by the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research in 2021,1 and, according to a report from Research and Markets, the global orphan drugs market is expected to reach $229.71 billion in 2026.2 The pursuit of potential rare disease indications for the novel mechanism of action of our crofelemer drug product has become a strategic focus for Jaguar and Napo Therapeutics, the rare disease-focused company Jaguar established in 2021. Jaguar is the majority shareholder of this Italy-based company, and Napo Therapeutics holds an exclusive license to crofelemer in Europe. Our rare diseases focus complements the expected completion in the first half of 2023 of enrollment in our pivotal OnTarget trial for cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD). We believe this Phase 3 trial for our planned lead follow-on indication for crofelemer will also provide transformative value to Jaguar."
