Jaguar Health’s crofelemer cuts infant parenteral support by 15% and targets NDA filing in mid‑2027

Jaguar Health’s subsidiary Napo Pharmaceuticals treated an infant with congenital sodium diarrhea caused by a GUCY2C mutation using oral crofelemer. The therapy lowered the child’s daily parenteral support needs by about 15% within weeks. Jaguar said it will file a New Drug Application for crofelemer in microvillus inclusion disease in mid‑2027, using data from an ongoing pivotal trial.

The company expects the NDA filing could lead to FDA approval, enabling commercialization of crofelemer for rare pediatric intestinal‑failure disorders and potentially expanding its revenue base.
