Clinical Trials and Research

Clinical Trials & Research in Cancer Care


Penn Vet researchers strive to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in animals through novel therapies that may one day offer cancer patients, canine and human alike, a viable alternative or complementary treatment to traditional therapies. Here is a list of current clinical trials in cancer care at Penn Vet.


Current Clinical Trials in Cancer Care

Below is a list of our current clinical trials in cancer care. You may search by animal and by type of cancer.

Please Note

When you choose an animal (Filter by Animal) or when you begin to type something into the 'Filter by Trial Type' field below (e.g., osteosarcoma, etc.), the search results will immediately respond by updating the list of trials. To start over, clear the fields and enter new information.

Cathepsin-activated near-infrared (NIR) imaging for intraoperative detection of insulinomas

A clinical trial evaluating a new near-infrared imaging agent to detect cancerous tissue in dogs with Insulinoma during surgical excision.

Embolization or chemoembolization in dogs with hepatocellular carcinoma and utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound versus CT angiogram in post-embolization assessment.

This trial will compare outcomes in dogs treated with embolization vs. chemoembolization and will also evaluate the accuracy of contrast enhanced ultrasound verses CT angiogram for post-embolization assessment.

Penn Vet's VCIC

Penn Vet, Veterinary Clinical Investigations CenterPenn Vet’s Veterinary Clinical Investigations Center (VCIC) works with regional veterinary clinics to offer patients access to cutting-edge clinical trials. These trials can offer owners potential diagnostic and treatment options that are not available anywhere else locally or even nationally for their pet.

The VCIC provides nursing staff dedicated to helping owners and their pets navigate the course of enrolling in a clinical trial, offering them state-of-the-art care, while informing science for the benefit of future generations of pets and people alike.
