Jaguar Health Scientific Advisory Board Member to Share Poster Presentation at American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium About the Methodologies Involved in Designing an Advocate-Led Quality of Life Survey for Cancer Patients and Survivors

Jaguar's commercial focus on cancer supportive care aims to use the best tools and techniques that assess the quality of life of cancer patients and survivors and deliver solutions to address these unmet needs - Commonly used tools and techniques fail to measure what patients are most concerned about

Jaguar family company Napo Pharmaceuticals sponsored the "More Than a Diagnosis: A Quality of Life Survey for Individuals with a Diagnosis or History of Cancer"

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 26, 2024 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) today announced that Stacey Tinianov, MPH, the founder of Advocates for Collaborative Education (ACE) and a member of Jaguar's Scientific Advisory Board, will conduct a poster presentation on September 27, 2024 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium. The presentation, titled "Measuring what really matters: Advocacy-led co-creation and accrual of a pan-cancer QoL survey," will describe the methodologies and best practices used to design and execute "More Than a Diagnosis: A Quality of Life Survey for Individuals with a Diagnosis or History of Cancer." The "More Than a Diagnosis" survey, an online, anonymous ACE survey initiative to shed light on the diverse and profound challenges faced by individuals living with a diagnosis or a history of cancer, was sponsored by Jaguar family company Napo Pharmaceuticals and presented by Tinianov and other members of ACE at the December 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The abstract for the September 27, 2024 presentation can be viewed by clicking here.

"While cancer treatments have advanced considerably since the advent and availability of targeted therapies, significant short- and long-term treatment side effects can be challenging or even devastating to an individual's quality of life (QoL). Unfortunately the tools and techniques commonly used to assess the QoL of cancer patients and survivors often fail to measure what patients and survivors are most concerned about," said Tinianov. "Management of treatment side effects is integral to supportive care, and understanding what matters most to individuals can potentially guide improvements in supportive care to effectively address QoL impacts. I am delighted about the opportunity to share the co-creation methodologies that made that survey successful at the ASCO Quality Care Symposium."
