Clinical Studies

Intestinal dysbiosis has been associated with tumor progression of colorectal, lung, and breast cancer in human patients. The objective of this study is to determine whether or not canine patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma 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.

Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a disorder characterized by severely low platelets due to attack by white blood cells. This is often associated with bruising and occasionally severe bleeding episodes.

This pilot study in dogs with suspected cranial cruciate ligament rupture seeks to determine whether a benefit is seen through the intra-articular injection of a novel veterinary device product in the affected stifle joint.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an important protein necessary for the repair of DNA in cells. Cancer cells express a unique type of PCNA (termed caPCNA) which is only found at small quantities in non-cancer cells.

Verdinexor is a chemotherapy drug that has been conditionally approved by the FDA for the treatment of canine lymphoma. Verdinexor is a selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound, and this family of drug has demonstrated encouraging results in preclinical studies when combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs.

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of concomitant intraarticular (IA) and peri-neural (PN) injections of an investigational veterinary product for the control of elbow pain in dogs. This 28-day study also includes a long term follow up at 3 and 6 months.

The intestinal microbiota are highly functional, with a combined genome (termed the microbiome) that is approximately 130-160 times larger than the human or canine genome. The microbiome is a highly functional organ and produces approximately 1,000 different metabolites, many of which have systemic effects in the dog.

Sepsis is caused by a severe infection that enters the bloodstream and is associated with a high mortality rate. This high mortality rate has remained unchanged over the last three decades even though there has been active research in the area.

Pneumonia (infection in the lungs) is a common diagnosis in dogs and cats and can be caused by a variety of pathogens (i.e., bacteria, viruses, fungal organisms). Collecting fluid samples from the lungs of patients with pneumonia allows for tests to be performed that can identify the organism causing the infection.

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of concomitant intraarticular (IA) and peri-neural (PN) injections of an investigational veterinary product for the control of elbow pain in dogs. This 28-day study also includes a long term follow up at 3 and 6 months.

Following removal of the primary tumor and adjuvant chemotherapy, the development of lung metastasis is the most common cause of mortality in dogs with osteosarcoma. A distinctive feature of lung metastases of osteosarcoma in human patients is the surprising benefit that can result from surgical resection of the lung nodules. The use of surgery to
