We are currently enrolling dogs in a multi-institutional clinical trial of a new chemotherapeutic medication to treat lymphoma.  We are looking for dogs which are over a year in age, weigh 15 kg or more, are feeling well and have no severe organ dysfunction.  We will diagnose or confirm lymphoma at the Veterinary Medical Center. Dogs need to be off steroids and chemotherapy for the 14 days prior to enrollment.

This study enrolls dogs in groups of 3.  We will update the status above with the next dates for enrollment throughout the study.  This is a 21-day study.  Clients are primarily responsible for intial diagnostics.  Once enrolled, there is a client credit offered to offset costs.

If you or someone you know has a dog that may qualify, please call Marianne Robeck or Dr. Husbands to find out more.
