ICR, a leading strategic communications and advisory firm, is pleased to announce that Robert Jacks, President & Chief Executive Officer, and David Katz, Chief Scientific Officer, of Sparrow Pharmaceuticals, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, targeted therapies to address unmet needs in both endocrinology and rheumatology, recently appeared on Episode 79 of ICR’s “Welcome to the Arena” podcast.

Welcome to the Arena is hosted by Tom Ryan, Co-Founder & CEO of ICR. Tom spoke with Robert and David about the problem that Sparrow is solving for patients suffering the consequences of glucocorticoid excess. Those include patients with the orphan disease Cushing’s syndrome and those taking glucocorticoids for autoimmune diseases. They discussed how their treatment can change a patient's life, their current clinical trials, and more.

The Welcome to the Arena podcast has featured discussions with CEOs, CFOs, financial analysts, members of the media, investment bankers, private equity executives and others who influence and create value for public and private-equity backed companies. The podcast made its debut in August 2021, airing episodes roughly every two weeks, and is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you get your podcasts.
