Jaguar Health's Crofelemer Shows Benefit for Intestinal Failure (IF) in Third Rare Congenital Enteropathy Disorder
Jaguar Health said crofelemer oral therapy has been provided to an infant with GUCY2C-mutation-related congenital sodium diarrhea for several weeks. The company reported the treatment was well tolerated and reduced the patient’s daily and weekly parenteral support needs, with no significant clinical or laboratory abnormalities.
Why it matters — The report adds GUCY2C-related congenital enteropathy to the conditions for which Jaguar says crofelemer has demonstrated benefit in reducing pediatric patients’ parenteral support needs.
