Every year, millions of dogs face a cancer diagnosis, yet effective treatment options remain limited. ???? Repurposed human chemotherapies are often toxic and costly, leaving pet owners with tough choices and less-than-ideal outcomes. Vetigenics, an animal health biopharma firm, wants to change this. By developing targeted antibody therapies that are more affordable and can be administered by general vets, they hope to enhance the quality of life for our furry friends. Their lead products, anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 antibodies are currently in clinical trials for canine cancers. The company is targeting regulatory approval for both by 2027.
