AIDING IN THE EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER |
|
|
Detecting natural cancer biomarkers in a blood sample is challenging due to the small amount of cancer DNA circulating in the bloodstream. The investigational drug in this trial, EARLI-001, is designed to make cancer cells produce synthetic biomarkers which may be more easily detected in a sample. This could lead to earlier and more effective cancer treatment. For this study, we are recruiting dogs with confirmed locally advanced or metastatic cancer who have not undergone treatment within the past 30 days. Learn more about this and other groundbreaking clinical trials
