Tolerability of Oral Paclitaxel in Cancer-Bearing Dogs
ClosedPaclitaxel is a human chemotherapeutic that has demonstrated a broad spectrum of activity against several human and canine cancers. Previous formulations of paclitaxel have been poorly absorbed in dogs, limiting its therapeutic value. Oraxol is a novel oral formulation of paclitaxel that is combined with a second drug, Encequidar, which improves this issue of poor absorption. Preclinical studies have demonstrated safety in dogs, making Oraxol an intriguing choice for further study in cancer-bearing dogs. The data collected from this study will help to inform future studies in the treatment of canine hemangiosarcoma, a common and aggressive cancer in dogs.
