Clinical Trials for Hemangiosarcoma
CCB02. The National Cancer Institute and UCDAVIS

Eligibility Requirements
• Confirmed diagnosis
• Physical examination with weight recorded

Study Objective
The National Cancer Institute is looking for Golden Retrievers with Lymphoma, Osteosarcoma, Mast Cell Tumors, and Hemangiosarcoma to participate in a clinical trial

Compensation
If your Golden Retriever is eligible for any of the above mentioned cancer types, the study will pay for full-staging (CBC, Chemistry panel, Urine Analysis, Ultrasound, Radiographs) $800-$1000 of staging. This is not a therapy, chemo or drug study. It is a tissue collection study to populate the tissue bank for future research. After your pets surgery you will be instructed to follow-up with an oncologist or your local veterinarian for follow-up care.

Location of Trial
Davis , CA

Adriamycin vs. Epirubicin Patients with Splenic Hemangiosarcoma

Eligibility Requirements
• Canine patients that have Splenic Hemangiosarcoma and has ruptured with a biopsy to confirm NO liver metastasis

Study Objective
Comparing Adriamycin vs. Epirubicin over the course of six doses.

Compensation
There is no financial incentive. We are currently running studies to compare the use of different drugs in different combinations to provide a more effective way of treating various diseases. Your local veterinarian would call us at UCDavis to 'pull an envelope'. Each envelope is randomly pulled comparing the different drug. There is no placebo and it is 'open-label' meaning you will know exactly what drug your pet is receiving. -top- Please click on the link for more details. .

Funded Clinical Trial for Splenic Hemangiosarcoma

Eligibility Requirements
• Dogs with confirmed splenic HSA (post-splenectomy)
• Dogs must have a favorable performance status
• NO significant organ dysfunction or concurrent disease(s) that would limit survival
• NO history of kidney disease or proteinuria
• NO prior treatment with high-dose corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy
• NO vaccination within last four weeks
• Signed informed owner consent; all treatment options for the pet will be presented and owner must decline all other options
• Note: Metastasis is acceptable

Study Objective
Masitinib is a novel oral chemotherapeutic drug (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) that is approved in Europe to treat canine mast cell tumors and also demonstrates in vitro activity against other cancers. The purpose of this prospective, multicenter, phase 2 study is to investigate the safety and anti-cancer activity of masitinib in canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA). In this study, dogs with splenic hemangiosarcoma (post-splenectomy) will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. Group 1: oral masitinib (single agent), Group 2: oral masitinib and doxorubicin combination, Group 3: doxorubicin (single agent). Treatment groups will be compared using biologic parameters, survival time, progression-free interval, and quality of life in dogs with splenic hemangiosarcoma to assess safety and efficacy. .

Compensation
All dogs entering the study will receive chemotherapy (masitinib and/or doxorubicin) in a randomized fashion; no pet will receive a placebo.

The study will partially cover treatment costs associated with the study. Dogs on the masitinib arms will receive free masitinib for the duration of the study. Dogs on the doxorubicin arms will receive $100 toward each doxorubicin treatment, up to five doses.

All other treatment costs, office fees, and all initial and follow up diagnostic charges will be the responsibility of pet owners.

Palladia™ for Canine Splenic Hemangiosarcoma

Eligibility Requirements
• Dogs with histo-confirmed Stage I or II splenic hemangiosarcoma.
• Study enrollment is preceded by successful surgery and 5 doses of doxorubicin chemotherapy, given at 2-week intervals
• Free of metastatic disease 2 weeks after 5th dose of doxorubicin

Study Objective
Canine hemangiosarcoma of the spleen warrants a relatively poor prognosis with only moderate improvements in case outcome with standard chemotherapy. This study will investigate the use of the new receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Palladia™, as a treatment to inhibit metastatic disease after splenectomy and 5 doses of doxorubicin chemotherapy. Treatment will involve giving Toceranib phosphate (Palladia™) orally every other day. Dogs will be rechecked at Weeks 1, 2,and 4 and then monthly thereafter with laboratory work, with complete restaging every 8 weeks.

Compensation
• Free Toceranib phosphate (Palladia™)
• Costs of reassessments (~$2500 to $3000 value) covered once dog is enrolled
