Clinical Studies

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.

A new veterinary device composed of collagen and elastin particles has been developed; it is delivered via intra-articular injection and helps protect cartilage from mechanical grinding. This study seeks to validate this device as a pre-surgical management tool for dogs with cruciate disease.

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.

Despite years of active research in the field, high mortality rates associated with sepsis have remained unchanged over the last three decades; we aim to change this!

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

Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital is participating in a clinical trial for a potential new, once-daily medicine for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in dogs. We are no longer enrolling dogs that meet eligibility requirements, including some restrictions on recent medications and therapies. Dogs, at least 12 months of age, diagnosed with atopic dermatitis may be

Naturally occurring cancers in dogs have been as used as models for human cancers for many reasons; however, the genomic profiles of many of these cancers are still incompletely understood. Further definition of these genomic landscapes will allow for improved development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics to diagnose and treat these cancers. The objective of this
