Clinical Studies

  • Tolerabiltiy of Oral Paclitaxel in Cancer-Bearing Dogs

    No Longer Enrolling

    Research Type Ethos Discovery De Novo Study Description Paclitaxel is a human chemotherapeutic that has demonstrated a broad spectrum of activity against  several human and canine cancers. Previous formulations of paclitaxel have been poorly absorbed in dogs, limiting its therapeutic value. Oraxol is a novel oral formulation of paclitaxel that is combined with a second

  • Canine Lymphoma – Alternating Doxorubicin and TANOVEA®-CA1 for Dogs with Untreated Lymphoma

    Currently Enrolling

    This study may provide information on a multi-drug treatment protocol that may result in improved outcomes for dogs with multicentric lymphoma.

    Study Details
  • Ethos Precision Medicine Umbrella Study for Hemangiosarcoma (Ethos-PUSH)

    Currently Enrolling

    Ethos Discovery now seeks to deliver a highly advanced clinical trial program investigating the use of novel drugs for the treatment of Hemangiosarcoma (HSA) with the goal of curing this aggressive cancer. This study will ask if drugs specifically matched to the genomic subtypes of patients with HSA will result in improved outcomes.

    Study Details
  • Diet to replace Insulin Administration as a Better and Effective Treatment In Clinical (DIABETIC) Cats

    Currently Enrolling

    A new cat diet has been shown to reduce body fat while maintaining lean muscle mass in cats. Accordingly, the following clinical study now seeks to determine if feeding this new diet without concurrent insulin therapy can induce insulin remission in cats with diabetes.

    Study Details
  • Diet to complement Insulin Administration as a Better and Effective Treatment In Clinical (DIABETIC) Dogs

    Currently Enrolling

    This clinical study seeks to determine if feeding the new diet in combination with insulin can improve glycemic control in dogs with moderately controlled diabetes.

    Study Details
  • Evaluating a New Medication to Control Pain Associated with Osteoarthritis of the Elbow in Dogs

    No Longer Enrolling

    The study aims to confirm the effectiveness and safety of a new medicine to control pain associated with osteoarthritis of the elbow in dogs. 

    Study Details
  • Collection of Biological Specimens from Dogs Scheduled for Biopsy or Surgery for Suspected or Known Cancer

    Currently Enrolling

    This study will compare certain markers in the blood that are specific to cancer, but not found in healthy dogs, before and after surgical biopsy or surgical removal of a mass.

    Study Details
  • Collection of Biological Specimens from Dogs Diagnosed with Cancer, but Not Scheduled to Undergo Surgery for Tumor Removal

    No Longer Enrolling

    This study will compare markers in the blood that are specific to cancer but not found in healthy dogs, before and after treatment for cancer has begun.

    Study Details
  • Survey of Endogenous Procalcitonin in Sepsis with Individual Sequencing (SEPSIS)

    Currently Enrolling

    The goal of this study is to evaluate changes in procalcitonin levels over time in canine patients surgically treated for sepsis secondary to an abdominal cause (i.e. ruptured intestine). Additional blood sample collection will also be performed to investigate for possible novel markers for sepsis using next generation sequencing for the future development of diagnostic test.

    Study Details
  • Dysbiosis Enhancing Linkage Towards Association with Canine Osteosarcoma (DEL-TACO)

    Currently Enrolling

    Intestinal dysbiosis has been associated with tumor progression of colorectal, lung, and breast cancer in human patients. To date, no studies have been published investigating the intestinal microbiome in dogs or humans with osteosarcoma (OSA). The objective of this study is to determine whether or not canine patients diagnosed with OSA have intestinal dysbiosis and if the presence of intestinal dysbiosis is associated with metastasis in these patients.

    Study Details
  • Assay for DNA using Exosome for Pancreatitis Testing (ADEPT)

    No Longer Enrolling

    This is study is looking to develop a novel diagnostic test for canine pancreatitis through the identification of genomic markers called exosomes.
