Enrolling your dog in cancer clinical trials can offer several benefits for both the dogs and their owners. Here are four key benefits:
1. Access to Cutting-Edge Treatments: Dogs enrolled in clinical trials often gain access to the latest treatments and therapies that are not yet available to the general public. These innovative approaches may offer better outcomes than standard treatments. Some trials may have already completed a pilot study with initial data published.
2. Comprehensive Veterinary Care: Dogs in clinical trials typically receive extensive monitoring and care from a team of veterinary specialists. This can include regular check-ups, advanced diagnostics, and detailed health assessments, ensuring the dog receives high-quality medical attention throughout the study.
3. Contribution to Veterinary Medicine: By participating in clinical trials, dogs contribute to scientific research that can lead to advancements in veterinary oncology. The data collected from these trials help researchers develop more effective treatments for future patients.
4. Cost Savings: In many clinical trials, the cost of the investigational treatment and associated veterinary care is covered by the sponsoring organization. This can alleviate some of the financial burden on pet owners, making advanced treatment options more accessible.
How can I find ongoing clinical trials?
The best way to find clinical trials in the US is to visit the AVMA Clinical Trials Registry:
On this website, you can search by type of cancer as well as location.
Not all studies are listed in the registry.
You can visit Veterinary School and private clinic websites to find additional studies.
