Descriptions of both studies appear below, along with a link to the virtual ACG 2024 ePoster Hall page for each study - which display the poster for each study and provide a short audio presentation of the posters.\n\"We are very excited that crofelemer continues to demonstrate clinical robustness in responder analysis trials for multiple gastroenterological conditions - including functional diarrhea and chronic idiopathic diarrhea. We are inspired to address the unmet needs, unmet symptom management, and patient comfort in these populations, which are often considered subgroups of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D),\" commented Lisa Conte, President and CEO of Jaguar.\nCrofelemer has been the subject of two previously presented Phase 2 trials in IBS-D. Additionally, as announced, the recently completed analysis of the prespecified subgroup of adult patients with breast cancer from our Phase 3 OnTarget trial of crofelemer for cancer therapy-related diarrhea indicate that crofelemer achieved statistical significance in this subgroup. The breast cancer results from OnTarget are also a responder analysis, and this data has been submitted by the study's primary investigators to a relevant oncology conference for consideration for a presentation.\nStudy: Pilot Study of Crofelemer for Functional Diarrhea\nLink to Study Poster & Audio Presentation: Click Here\nCrofelemer significantly decreased stool consistency and abdominal pain without significant side effects, including constipation, in this small crossover study of 17 patients with functional diarrhea. The study showed that crofelemer may be a particularly useful option in those patients without a significant pain component to their symptoms, and it may be safe and effective in functional diarrhea, particularly given that its mechanism of action is not constipating. Larger trials are needed to more thoroughly assess safety and longer-term efficacy of crofelemer in functional diarrhea. Judy Nee, MD, was the principal investigator for the study. Dr. Nee is a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. She serves as co-director of the GI Motility Lab at Beth Israel, and specializes in GI motility disorders and functional GI diseases such as IBS, chronic diarrhea, and constipation, as well as movement disorders of the esophagus.\nFunctional diarrhea, defined as chronic diarrhea for more than 6 months, is a common diagnosis without effective treatments. It is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, meaning it occurs without any other known signs of disease, injury, or structural problem. Patients participating in the study self-reported their daily overall stool consistency based on the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) and number of loose/watery bowel movements, together with their score for their worst abdominal pain, the score for their abdominal discomfort, and any bloating episodes. The study protocol defined a stool consistency endpoint responder as a patient having ≤ 50% days with BSFS type > 5 (i.e., loose/watery stools), during the prior week compared to the last week of the baseline period.\nStudy: Crofelemer Improves Symptoms of Chronic Idiopathic Diarrhea\nLink to Study Poster & Audio Presentation: Click Here\nChronic idiopathic diarrhea is a common complaint of patients presenting to family practitioners and internists, and is one of the most common reasons for referral to gastroenterologists. Despite significant advances in diagnostics, no organic etiology can be determined in a sizable proportion of patients suffering from chronic diarrhea, and there are currently no FDA-approved medications for chronic idiopathic diarrhea. It is estimated that the prevalence of chronic idiopathic diarrhea in developed countries (including the U.S.) is approximately 3-5%. It has a significant negative effect on health-related quality of life and causes a high economic burden on patients and society.\nThe study prospectively recruited patients with chronic idiopathic diarrhea defined as 3 non-bloody loose/watery stools per day or more than 20 non-bloody loose/watery stools per week for ≥ 4 weeks and a BSFS score of 6/7 for > 50% of stools. Primary response was defined as a 50% decrease in mean BSFS 6/7 stool count per week by the end of week 4, and secondary response was defined as a decrease in average stool consistency by more than 2 levels in the BSFS from baseline to the end of treatment. Using this binary outcome, 58.8% of patients improved with crofelemer within the 4-week crofelemer treatment period.\n\"According to the American College of Gastroenterology, scientific tests show that about 10% to 15% of people in the United States have IBS, and almost twice as many women have IBS than men.1 We look forward to continuing to investigate crofelemer for the treatment and management of chronic refractory diarrhea in patients with IBS-D,\" said Conte.\nAbout Crofelemer\nCrofelemer is the only oral prescription drug approved under FDA botanical guidance. It is plant-based, extracted and purified from the red bark sap of the Croton lechleri tree in the Amazon Rainforest. Jaguar family company Napo Pharmaceuticals has established a sustainable harvesting program, under fair trade practices, for crofelemer to ensure a high degree of quality, ecological integrity, and support for Indigenous communities.\nAbout the Jaguar Health Family of Companies\nJaguar Health, Inc.
