Clinical Studies

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.

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

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. 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.
