SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2022 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today announced that on August 18, 2022 the Company received formal notice that the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has granted Jaguar an additional 180-day grace period, through February 13, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To evidence compliance, the Company must report a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days on or before February 13, 2023.
"We are pleased to have obtained additional time from Nasdaq to evidence compliance with the bid price requirement," Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president and CEO, said. "Jaguar is focused on two late-stage clinical events in the next approximately 6 to 12 months that we expect to be transformational in terms of value creation and recognition for the Company as we seek to regain compliance with the rule. We anticipate the completion in 2022 of an investigator-initiated proof-of-concept study of crofelemer for short bowel syndrome (SBS), supporting the potential for expanded patient access to crofelemer in Europe in 2023 for this devastating and catastrophic disease. The third-party investigator is targeting the presentation in December 2022 of results from the SBS study at a global GI conference in Dubai. Our second key clinical activity is our Phase 3 pivotal OnTarget trial of crofelemer for our core follow-on indication of prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD). We expect enrollment in this trial to complete in the first half of 2023."
