Clinical Studies

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This trial is designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary pain management and anti-cancer effectiveness of a novel therapy in dogs with bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).

Ethos Discovery is pursuing an investigation into the use of a novel therapy for NME in pugs. This study will only consist of a one-time visit for the blood sample collection. Participating pugs will get free wellness and neurological exams, general bloodwork, and NME-risk factor screening.

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.

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.

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.

We have previously reported on the tolerability and hints of clinical activity of Sorafenib in dogs with cancer. This background provides a rationale for the further study of Sorafenib in dogs with cancer. In this study we seek to define an optimal dosing schedule for Sorafenib and will assess its tolerability and activity in dogs with solid tumors.

Based on its reported tolerability in dogs (alone and in combination with chemotherapy) this study will ask whether Rapamycin may improve treatment outcomes for dogs with hemangiosarcoma, and more precisely, to understand the hemangiosarcoma genotypes which may most benefit from its use.
