Join Our Mission to Fight Cancer

Access to novel treatment therapies

The opportunity to be part of medical innovations

Eligible for compensation for owner and referrer

Current Clinical Trials

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Targeted Interlesional therapy for treatment of SCC

Purpose: Investigate a potential new treatment to stop squamous cell carcinoma progression and/or reduce evidence of disease.

How it works: Over the course of approximately 4 months, the patient will present for 11 visits to MVMC that will include physical examinations, lab work, and the study treatment.

The study covers all related costs, including:

  • Physical exams
  • Lab work
  • Study Treatment

Refer any dog diagnosed with SCC to MVMC for SCC treatment, and if they qualify and enroll in the study, the referrer will be compensated with a $1,000 bonus. The bonus will be paid for each case referred.

Osteosarcoma

Autologous Canine Cancer Vaccine with Checkpoint Inhibitor for Treatment of Osteosarcoma

Purpose: Determine if combining surgery with the experimental treatment results in increased survival vs. surgery and chemotherapy alone.

How it works: There will be two treatments groups:

  1. Surgery/amputation + experimental immunotherapy
  2. Surgery/amputation + chemotherapy (carboplatin)

Owner is financially responsible for all screening (consult, lab work, radiographs, abdominal ultrasound+/- cytology at DVM discretion) ~$2300.

Owner’s will receive a $1500 stipend toward amputation.

When enrolled into the study the participant will be enrolled into one of the groups – carboplatin or immunotherapy. These appointments will all be covered by the trial.

If chemotherapy fails for the patient, they will be offered the experimental immunotherapy at no cost.
