JJNg Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just passing on this info that was was posted to another group in case anyone here was interested. There are some specific criteria that need to be met, so a lot of dogs may not qualify.

greysmom Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wonderful! Though it sounds like you need to be close to UPenn to participate. Thanks for posting this!

Guest snakes Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm glad they are doing this study and taking an interest in OS, but wow. You would have to be fairly close to UPenn for all those followup visits. Personally if i had already had put my dog through amp and chemo AND they now had lung mets, I don't think i would want to loose any time with my pet for them to be hospitalized for observation, not to mention all the vet visits for followup testing. I do hope they learn something of value though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope they learn something of value though. I think you misread - it says there has to be NO evidence of lung mets. I don't think the number of visits is all that bad actually, the problem I had with most studies is you generally are not allowed to do any other treatments at the same time so no Palladia, no Artemisinin, etc. for the duration of the study. Of course you could always resume them once the study was completed.

THey have to have a control group who's getting just saline or something...
