Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar") today announced that it received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) on January 1, 2026 that the company has been awarded a $240,000 grant. Canalevia-CA1 is currently conditionally approved for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in dogs. The grant will support Jaguar's ongoing study for the treatment of CID in dogs.

Dogs undergoing chemotherapy are an important predictive model for the mechanism of action in humans experiencing diarrhea due to cancer treatment. Many cancer treatment agents provided to dogs are human drugs, or have the same mechanism of action as human cancer drugs, and these agents and mechanisms of action often have meaningful rates of diarrhea in dogs and humans.
