Jaguar Health Completes Effectiveness Study for Canalevia-CA1 in Dogs
Jaguar Health completed the company's ongoing effectiveness study of crofelemer delayed-release tablets for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs. Crofelemer, under the name Canalevia-CA1, is currently conditionally approved for the sole indication of treating CID in dogs. The approval for Canalevia CA-1 will expire on December 21, 2026. In the second quarter of 2026 Jaguar plans to submit and file the results of the company's effectiveness study and the positive results of a study of crofelemer delayed-release tablets for treatment of CTD in dogs receiving neratinib - a targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor chemotherapy agent. "We're very pleased that enrollment has concluded for this study, which is being undertaken at veterinary oncology clinics around the US. The FDA granted renewal of the conditional approval for Canalevia-CA1 for a fifth and final year, through December 21, 2026, for the treatment of CID in dogs. In order to receive a full veterinary drug approval for the indication of CID beyond Dec. 21, 2026, Jaguar must complete and file a successful effectiveness study," said Dr. Michael Guy, Jaguar's Vice President of Preclinical and Nonclinical Studies. "The 28-day study in dogs receiving neratinib was designed to evaluate the scientific rationale for the use of crofelemer tablets in reducing the severity and incidence of diarrhea in cancer patients receiving neratinib, a targeted therapy known to cause significant diarrhea. The study demonstrated that crofelemer dosing resulted in a 30% reduction in the incidence and severity of diarrhea in participating dogs, which was statistically significant."
