“VetDC has generated an impressive body of data across multiple studies in over 500 patients which support the broad utility of TANOVEA-CA1 for treating canine lymphoma,” noted Dr. Brenda Phillips, a board-certified veterinary oncologist and clinical investigator at Ethos Veterinary Specialty Hospital in San Diego, CA. “Based on data from this recent publication, TANOVEA-CA1 will be considered as a first-line rescue agent for the treatment of lymphoma in dogs.”

TANOVEA-CA1 (rabacfosadine for injection) is a novel small molecule drug designed to preferentially target and attack rapidly dividing cancer cells implicated in lymphoma. TANOVEA-CA1 has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in both naïve and relapsed canine lymphoma cases, with a generally well-tolerated safety profile. TANOVEA-CA1 is administered intravenously every three weeks for up to five doses.
TANOVEA-CA1 is commercially available in the US for purchase by licensed veterinarians. TANOVEA-CA1 was recently granted conditional approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), making TANOVEA-CA1 the first and only new animal drug indicated for the treatment of lymphoma in dogs.
