Canine Lymphoma

Canine Lymphoma

Oncology
Investigational

Lymphoma is one of the most commonly encountered cancers in the dog. The incidence of canine lymphoma has steadily increased with approximately 84 per 10,000 dogs diagnosed each year. This randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, GCP pivotal field study is evaluating the effectiveness and safety of verdinexor for the treatment of naïve or first relapse stages II, III and IV lymphoma in client owned dogs. Diagnosis of lymphoma must be confirmed by cytology or biopsy for the dog to be eligible for this study. Dogs will be randomized to receive the investigational veterinary product or a placebo treatment (tablets) to be administered with food twice weekly at least 72 hours apart for 8 weeks. After receiving treatment in-hospital on Day 0, the dog will be required to return to the study site on Days 7, 14, 28, 42, and 56 for follow up evaluation visits. Owners will be required to report and record abnormal daily observations and dosing using a phone app at home throughout the study.

Apply if...
  • Your dog has naïve or first relapse lymphoma
  • Your dog is over 1 year old and weighs more than 9kgs (~20lbs)
  • Your dog has a diagnosis of lymphoma

Performance of a New Point-of-care Rapid Test to Diagnose Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis

Performance of a New Point-of-care Rapid Test to Diagnose Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis

Observational
Infectious

Diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis in dogs is challenging due to the fact that the symptoms are not specific for this disease. Coccidioidomycosis can be diagnosed via a biopsy however the most common method is testing for antibodies to the fungus. These tests are often sent to third party labs delaying confirmation of the disease. This study looks to evaluate a potential point of care rapid test which would be able to provide a positive or negative result indicating the presence or absence of antibodies, respectively, within 30-60 minutes. The diagnosis of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis can be difficult because clinical signs overlap with many other respiratory tract disorders and dogs can have positive Valley Fever antibody titers without active clinical infection. Acute phase proteins are useful biomarkers for many other disorders and our hope is to determine whether they can facilitate making a diagnosis of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis in dogs. For additional details or questions please contact Dr. Jaffey (jjaffe@midwestern.edu).

Apply if...
  • Your dog has a a confirmed or suspected novel diagnosis of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis
  • Your dog has at least 1 respiratory sign
  • Your dog has not received an anti-fungal treatment more than 7 days before enrollment

Canine Diabetes

Canine Diabetes

Endocrinology
Observational

Diabetes mellitus is an important health problem in both dogs and people. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in people is caused by an attack of the body’s own immune system on cells in the pancreas. Diabetes in dogs is thought to be similar in some ways to T1D in people, but there is still much more to learn about the causes of diabetes in dogs as well as better ways to prevent and treat the disease. The purpose of this study is to learn more about metabolism and immune function in diabetic dogs.

Apply if...
  • Your dog has been recently diagnosed with canine diabetes
  • Your dog has other endocrine related disease or is a non-spayed female

Complement Inhibition in Canine IMHA

Complement Inhibition in Canine IMHA

Investigational

Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is a common disease that affects all breeds of dogs and can be fatal. In the severe form of the disease complement activation causes red blood cells to be broken down in the bloodstream. At present no therapies for IMHA target this complement activation. We have confirmed that an FDA licensed formulation of C1-INH is safe for dogs and effectively inhibits canine complement mediated hemolysis. We hope this will translate into a beneficial effect in dogs with intravascular red cell breakdown due to IMHA.

DCM in Dobermans

DCM in Dobermans

Cardiology
Investigational

Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease of heart muscle that results in a decreased ability of the heart to pump blood. The prognosis for DCM is often poor, with a less than 50% survival rate one year after clinical signs develop, unless a reversible underlying cause is identified. There is no available cure for Dilated Cardiomyopathy, current techniques focus on extending survival time as long as possible. However the focus of this clinical trial is to evaluate a potential curative treatment for cardiomyopathy in the Doberman Pinscher.

  • Your dog has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy
  • Your dog has no other heart conditions

Dietary Trial for Cats with IBD or GI Lymphoma

Dietary Trial for Cats with IBD or GI Lymphoma

Internal Medicine
Investigational

The clinical signs in some cats with chronic enteropathy (chronic vomiting and/or diarrhea) can be reversed with dietary management using a specially formulated diet. It is not clear why some cats respond to diet, or what the optimal composition of the diet for cats with chronic enteropathy should be. We want to know if diets containing proteins that are selected to minimize immune responses and fortified in Vitamin B12 and natural anti-inflammatory agents (prebiotics and curcumin) are better than conventional diets for cats with chronic enteropathy.

Apply if...
  • Any Cat with signs of chronic GI disease
